[img=http://moe.animecharactersdatabase.com/images/ahmygoddess/Sentaro_Kawanishi.png]

In his dreams he appears as an older version of himself with an athletic muscular body. He alters his appearance to match his role and the world he is in, but other than that he directs his attention to making himself look like what he would define as a badass. 

Personality: 
Between always being told he can do anything he sets his mind to and actually fulfilling that in his dreams, Lucas has come to think very highly of himself. He honestly believes he can do anything, and puts full effort into many things that interest him. He thinks himself invincible, even more so now that he's hit "that age". Lucas has a lot of nerve and never hesitates to throw himself into an uncomfortable situation. Having grown so used to never experiencing failure in his dreams (at least not any failure that he himself didn't will into existence), he is quite reckless in the waking world . Though he tries to be kind, he can't understand how others don't have the same attitude towards life at him. He has a strong sense of pride and pushes back pretty hard when he feels he's being disrespected.

History: Lucas's parents divorced when he was very young. They split on good terms, and Lucas gets to see his father any time he comes to town as well as spend a fair share of the holidays and summer vacations with him. He lives with his mother and stepfather. Lucas was introduced to the world of fiction through his stepfather, an English professor. He fell in love early on with the heroes in his books. He got further exposed to the stories of television and video games as he grew up. He became determined to be like them. In school he was more interested in soccer and creating his image. He put some effort into studying, deciding that a hero didn't need to be a genius but needed to not be an idiot either. As such his grades are decent, though he's gotten positive feedback on his writing. He's gotten into a couple of scuffles, either stepping into take down a bully for a smaller boy who didn't ask for his help or by overreacting to an insult. 

Dreams: Lucas's dreams take various forms. He's often playing out a story in a world inspired by various combinations of video games, books, and movies. He likes to throw in various "twists" and jump around roles within the dream in order to make the story more interesting. One minute he's the president's champion defending the White House from the army of demons, the next he's the evil wizard descending from the raging storm clouds to kill the champion, only to spend the rest of the dream as the pro soccer player on a quest to the wizard's tower after accidentally discovering his only weakness. Until he decides he's actually the hero's sidekick who has to step in and save the world when the hero can't bring himself to make the necessary personal sacrifice.
