=== Costume ===
His costume has him wear a long, loose trench coat that reaches to his knees with a hood.
== Personality ==
Lucas has a lot of interests, but doesn’t feel confident enough indulging and taking pride in them. This is especially true in his interests in art and music, and while he’s rather imaginative he isn’t able to express it properly until he gained the ability to manipulate the Dreamscape. He sees the Dreamscape, being a world that he can access on his own, as a place of refuge and escape from the problems and pressures of the outside world, where he doesn’t have to worry about how other people perceive him and can express himself. As a result, he tends to daydream being quite satisfied with the explanation that he’s just dismissive and uninterested in everyone else in real life.
Though not obvious at first since he avoids emotional and personal confrontation, Lucas is quite familiar with the human pathos and psyche. He has a decent judge of character, and can ‘sense’ from the get-go whether he thinks he’d be able to get along with a certain person.
As a pessimist and nihilist who simply believes himself to be a realist, he possesses brutal self-deprecating humor, and doesn’t believe that fate has much left for him in store, compared to his peers who he sees have more potential than he does.
He’s a band geek and likes to share memes.

== Powers & Abilities ==
=== Powers ===
*Patho-Psionic Attribute: Lucas can access other people's dreams while he is asleep in a figurative mental landscape called the Dreamscape. Lucas resorts to lucid dreaming and takes naps a lot as a form of escapism. As he learns to master his dreams, he has to conjure objects in dreams and follow his mind. Sometimes they dont work, and his dreams get the best of him. He has to strengthen his will, his focus to master his dreams and make them make sense.
**Dream Inducement: He can not only control dreams, but induce dreams when someone is asleep.
**Dreamworld Lordship: While in the Dreamscape, Lucas has free control over someone's dreams, meaning he is, in essence, omnipotent there. He can conjure any creature or object and freely manipulate them.
=== Abilities ===
*Arts
*Drumming: Lucas used to be in the Drum and Lyre club, and he can play the drums.
*Poetry: He somewhat has a knack for poetry, but they're usually pessimistic.
== Limitations & Weaknesses ==
=== Internal ===
*Nihilism
*Lack of Confidence: Lucas has strong self-deprecating tendencies.
=== External ===
*Respiratory Allergies: Lucas coughs a lot, and it might be due to his exposure to Z-Gas. In fact, he might actually be coughing Z-Gas itself.
*Disorientation: Lucas could get disoriented by either too much or a lack of sleep due to forcing himself to sleep or to not sleep. This can also cause other mental problems.
*Sleep Disorders and Night Terrors: Lucas has a tendency to develop night terrors and intense nightmares, discomfort while sleeping, and an increased risk for other sleeping disorders and complications.
*Sleep Prerequisite: Both Lucas and the person whose dreams he is about to enter/create have to be asleep. This also makes him vulnerable, and he needs to be able to fall asleep immediately to use his powers.
*Circadian Rhythm Complications: His powers would work the best at night, or else his circadian rhythm might get messy since he would have to continuously change his sleeping habits for the convenience of his power usage.
*Psionic-Host Awareness: His hosts can be aware when their mind is being intruded.
== Equipment ==
*Gas Mask: Helps prevent Lucas from inhaling too much Z-Gas, or any respiratory irritants, aside from concealing his identity.
*Z-Gas Dispenser: Dispenses Z-Gas, a substance that induces drowsiness, and lulls people to sleep within a few seconds.
