Character from Smash Bros Brawl: The Subspace Emissary by Nintendo / Masahiro Sakurai
A terrified psychic boy who runs from every fight until he can't anymore — then discovers that the power he has been hiding from is the only thing that can save his friends.
Lucas is afraid. This is not subtext — it is his primary visible emotion throughout the early Subspace Emissary. When the Ruined Zoo is attacked and Ness is captured by Wario's Dark Cannon, Lucas runs. He runs and he hides and his whole body shakes. But Lucas keeps finding himself in situations where running is not an option. He encounters the Pokémon Trainer, who needs his help. He faces Porky Minch — a villain from his own world — and discovers that his PSI powers are devastating when he stops holding back. The arc from terrified child to functional fighter is the Subspace Emissary's most complete character journey. Lucas fights with psychic energy — PK Freeze, PK Fire, PK Thunder. His moves are wild and bright, powered by emotion rather than training. When he finally stands his ground, it is not because the fear is gone. It is because something else became more important than the fear.
A small blond boy with a striped yellow and red shirt, blue shorts, and sneakers. His hair is spiky and swept to one side. His eyes are wide — always wide — with the permanent alertness of a child who has seen too much. Thin and small, even by child standards. His PSI powers manifest as flashes of light from his fingertips. He looks like the last person who should be in a war, which is the point.
