The Power

Background

Ness (ネス, Nesu) is the silent main protagonist of Mother 2 (localized as EarthBound), and is analogous to Ninten and Lucas in their respective games. He greatly enjoys baseball; not only are most of his weapons various types of baseball bats, but he can also equip several baseball caps. In the EarthBound Player's Guide, he is said to wear a special baseball cap with his favorite team's logo on the front.

At the beginning of the game, Ness is awoken from a sound sleep by the impact of the meteorite north of his house in Onett. His mother and sister are agitated, but Ness leaves to find out what happened. After meeting up with Lier X. Agerate and Porky Minch, he returns home and tries to get back to sleep. Soon thereafter, Porky arrives and demands that Ness help him look for his little brother, who has gone missing during the calamity surrounding the impact.

After a pep-talk from his mother, Ness, Pokey and King go back out to the hillside, where they find Picky (who reveals it was Pokey who actually ran away). They also encounter Buzz-Buzz, an insectoid warrior who has travelled from the future to warn Ness of the threat that Giygas poses to the universe. It is from Buzz-Buzz that Ness learns of the prophecy surrounding his future; that he, along with the help of two other boys and one girl, will stand against Giygas and save the universe from being sentenced to eternal darkness.

Ness has access to PK Rockin, which is the single most powerful offensive PSI in the series, though most of Ness's PSI is centered around supporting his teammates, having access to the best set of healing PSI as well as two powerful status inducing PSI with Hypnosis and Paralysis. If Ness is completely cornered, the player will directly intervene with his battle in order to save him.

Weaknesses: Ness is a pacifist and chooses not to kill his enemies. Occasionally becomes homesick if he hasn't visited or called home recently, though this weakness is eventually overcome. Cannot use PSI if his concentration is disrupted. Unable to interact with anything as a ghost.
