Liar. There are so people that spicy!

Flaws. GIVE HIM FLAWS! XD
Not all of these will work for him; I'm just brainstorming.
List of physical flaws:
Acne
Misshapen nose
Bushy eyebrows
Crooked teeth
Ruddy complexion
Any feature that isn't proportionate to the rest of his body works, really
Personality flaws/quirks:
Gullible
Snarky
Smart to the point of being too nerdy for others to understand
Kind of clueless
Bad memory
Bad at keeping secrets
No sense of personal space
Harbors a lot of self-pity
Selfish
I think characters automatically flesh out a lot if you know a lot about their childhood. Sooo:
Did he have any pets?
How was/is his relationship with his parents or siblings, if any?
Favorite color?
What kind of music does he prefer?
What's his most embarrassing moment?
Who was his first childhood enemy?
Who was his best friend?
I hope this helps, darling.

Well... *SPOILER ALERT*
Lucas's birth dad is the villan, so he would obviously want a perfect child, so he genetically engineered him to be perfect in appearence. ((Yes, this plan is full of holes... bear with me here.))
Also, I'm posting the profile I made for Skitts and my RP using Lucas and Mitch.
Name: Lucas Barclay
Age: 16
Birthday: 12/13/1993
Hair Color: Strawberry blonde
Eye Color: Dark Brown
Skin Color: Not really pale, but not really tan... so normal color?
Height: 6'
Personaliy: Laughs easily, is a "little" conceded, competitive, ladies man, sometimes goes a little too far when teasing
Other: He has superpowers (can control plants), sings, plays guitar, played American football as quaterback for 10 years, is a complete dork on the inside

Are you sure I can't be this spicy? ;)

Half of my body is robotic. Does that count? Because I wouldn't technically be human, I'd be a cyborg, or just a Borg. ((Pretend I didn't say that last thing))

And what last thing? -shifty eyes-"
Not exactly. Anna's been talking to Maxy, and they pretty much figured out my past, so I do have personality problems. Making me not completely perfect.

Like the flashy-thing in MIB, but in reverse. XD

Name: Lucas Allen Barclay
Age: 16 ((Going on 17 XD seriously, he is though))
Appearence: Strawbe..."
"Almost Mitch-sized lips"? Excuse me? Since when did I replace Mick Jagger in the lip comparisons?
Cassie told you his couldn't be bigger than mine, didn't she?

Are you kidding? I'm that spicy.

Name: Lucas Allen Barclay
Age: 16 ((Going on 17 XD seri..."
Almost as in slightly smaller, Mitch.

So do I. It's great. We talk about lips.

I decided that his adopted father is a sexaholic, which makes Lucas depressed, so he cuts himself.
Just thought you'd like to be updated =]
YES! LUCAS IS EMO!!!
I love him even more now XD.
I love him even more now XD.
But he's still yours because I like Mitch and Alessandro better.

OMG LUCAS IS EMO!!!!
I....am pleased XD

True, but still.

I just shamelessly advertised my dear friend Princess Anna of Maldovia. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Name: Lucas Allen Barclay
Age: 16 ((Going on 17 XD seriously, he is though))
Appearence: Strawberry blonde hair, dark brown eyes, 6' even, very muscular, and almost Mitch size lips ((If you don't know who Mitch is... PHAIYLE))
Things you know about the character so far: He's from England, has the power to control plants, is a total ladies man, can play guitar and is a really good singer
Things you know about the character's past: Maybe being adopted? I don't know much about Lucas's past, actually...
Where you think the character will end up: Well, I can't say, because it gives away my epic plot twist, but it might help develop his character if I say...
What you want help with: Developing him in general? He's pretty new, so I just need some help, thanks =]
