Lucas is the hero of Mother 3. He lives with his family on the outskirts of Tazmily Village on Nowhere Island at the onset of the game. He is weaker than his twin, Claus, and is described as a crybaby at times.

Background

Lucas lived a happy life until one night. While he, Claus, and his mother were visiting his grandfather, the forest between them and Tazmily village caught fire as a result of an attack by the Pig Mask Army. While trying to make their way back to Tazmily, Drago, a dinosaur Lucas played with who had been captured and turned into a robot, killed his mother. The twins escaped via a river and washed up in Tazmily not long after. The next day Lucas's brother, Claus, went to kill Drago and left Lucas behind. Lucas took to crying at his mother's grave almost nonstop. At his mother's funeral, Lucas told everyone where Claus had gone. Scolded for not trying to stop his twin, he ran from the funeral. Claus was never found again, though Lucas's father began searching for him daily, leaving Lucas to care for himself.

Upon the arrival of Yokuba, a member of the Pig Mask Army, in Tazmily, everyone in the village were given Happy Boxes (televisions); bad things happened to those who didn't accept one. Lucas did refuse, however, and drove Yokuba out with the help of a restored Drago in order to save Wes, an elder resident of Tazmily, Kumatora, the princess of Osohe Castle, and Salsa, Yokuba's monkey slave. Yokuba returned shortly after and kept the village under his control, though now with a considerable grudge against Lucas.

Three years later, a rumor went around that a member of the band DCMC was really Duster, Wes's son and a thief who had come from Tazmily. While investigating, Lucas picked up his first PSI abilities (including PK Love) from the Magypsy Ionia. He and his dog Boney met Kumatora once again; she was posing as the waitress Yoshi-Koshi in Club TitiBoo while also searching for Duster. She explained that the thief had amnesia and told Lucas about an egg that contained the world's secrets, which she and Duster had taken from Osohe Castle three years ago. It and Duster had gone missing while they escaped the Pig Mask Army invading the area. The three located Duster at the club and convinced him to join them, then set out to the Unknown Valley to find the egg.

Within the Unknown Valley, Lucas and co. discovered the egg within a Clay Guy. Before they could grab it the creature was brought to life by a bolt of lightning. They chased it to a factory full of Clay Guys built by the Pig Mask Army, masqueraded as members of the army, and eventually caught up to the Clay Guy with the egg in a dump. After taking the egg, the group was caught up by the Pig Mask Army, who had assumed that Lucas was their commander because of the uniform he stole earlier. They took the group to the Lightning Tower; Yokuba was also there at the time and identified Lucas. He chased the group to the top of the tower (along the way Lucas is struck by lightning and learns PK Flash), then threatened to blow them up along with it in his escape. However, Yokuba slipped and fell from the tower, freeing the group to hitch a ride with the Pig Mother Ship that had come to rescue him. While using Duster's Rope Snake to cling to a ladder on the ship, Lucas and co. spotted the Masked Man within the vessel before the Rope Snake's jaws gave out and they all fell.

Lucas awoke alone in a field of sunflowers, though Boney was waiting nearby for him. Otherwise alone, he spotted a vision of his mother and he and Boney chased after her. He followed her right off a cliff, but fell into a haystack at the bottom.

When Lucas came to from this fall, he found himself back with his grandfather and Wes. They set him out to seek assistance from Ionia, who Lucas found tied up nearby by mysterious attackers. Ionia joined Lucas as they made their way to the house of another Magypsy, Aolia. Shortly after finding him, Aolia began to fade from existence, but opened a passage to Osohe Castle in his last moments. On the way to the castle, Ionia explained to Lucas that the Nowhere Islands coexisted with an omnipotent dragon. Because of the dragon's power, seven needles had been forged by the seven Magypsies that would put the dragon into an eternal sleep so long as the needles were not pulled from their resting places. Only two people could draw the needles and cause the Magypsies to disappear, one with a heart of darkness and one with a heart of light. Since Lucas had learned PK Love, he was one of the two.

Lucas made his way back to Tazmily village and received his father's Badge of Courage as a memento. He was led to the Pig Mask Army's Chimera Lab, where he donned a disguise and was ordered to chase down Salsa. Along the way he ran into Dr. Andonuts and the invincible Ultimate Chimera, but Salsa saved him. The monkey took him and Boney to the third Magypsy, Doria, and Kumatora. With Dr. Andonuts's help, Lucas and co. found Doria's needle at the bottom of a pond and pulled it. They parted with Salsa and found another Magypsy, Lydia, within the mountains. Before they could find his needle, the Masked Man arrived and pulled it. They were then led to Saturn Valley via bottled messages and saved the Mr. Saturns within from a Pig Mask invasion. Here they rejoined Duster and the Rope Snake and found the next needle in a lava-filled cave. Yokuba, now mute and speaking via a translator, attacks, but is defeated once more. The needle's guardian, Fligia, appears after it is removed and directs Lucas and co. to the rest of the needles.

Abilities

Lucas usually fights with sticks, though he can use yo-yos and bats along with the rest of the party. He is one of two PSI users in Mother 3, with his abilities focusing on healing, defense, and other status effects. His only damage-causing ability is akin to Ness's PSI Rockin' in appearance and in that the name is determined by the player: the default name, however, is PK Love.

Of note is that at almost any time while Lucas is playable as the main character, Boney is also in the party.

Other Roles

Lucas appears as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Thus far he is seen using moves similar to Ness's PSI Magnet and PK Thunder, though the former is held in front of Lucas instead of around him and the latter appears as a blue spark instead of green. He also uses the Rope Snake as a weapon, despite it being primarily Duster's tool.
