''I'm Ness...
It's been a long road getting here...
Soon, I'll be...Soon, I'll be...Soon, I'll be...

~ Ness after collecting the 7th melody
“
Ness... Hmmm... I think Ness is the right name for him. Ness... he smiled just from hearing his own name. Do you think he likes his name? Try putting that red cap on him. Ha ha ha! It's too big, but it looks good on him... I hope King won't be jealous of the baby. This baby will grow up to be a hard worker just like you. I don't think he needs to be rich or famous... but I want him to be a thoughtful, strong boy. That's odd... the baby bottle that he pointed at seemed to move a little bit...

~ Ness's Parents
“
Ness, you've stood on the eight power spots of the earth. From these, you created Magicant, the realm of your mind. In Magicant, there's beauty, kindness, sorrow, and hatred. Of course, there's an evil and violent side of you. The Sea of Eden sits at the center of those feelings. It takes you to the truth about yourself.

~ Star Master (In Ness's Magicant)

Hey me! I found my cap that you lost.

It's me...I'm you when you were younger. Hey, let's play ball. Do you prefer reading comics or playing games? What? You're busy?...

~ A memory of Ness when he was younger
“
Instantly Ness's mind cleared and he realized that he had possessed great power! At that moment, Ness's psychic powers radically expanded!

Giygas' goal is to destroy you. Listen carefully! Everything in the universe could be destroyed at the hands of Giygas. But he and his followers are also in trouble. The Apple of Enlightenment has foretold that Giygas' attempt will fail. It is because of the existence of a boy named Ness. ...That's me! Listen. Free your mind and KNOW what you must do! Your destiny has already been decided.
Ness (ネス, Nesu) is the silent main protagonist of Earthbound (Mother 2 in Japan), 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 Earthbound, 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 Pokey Minch, he returns home and tries to get back to sleep. Soon thereafter, Pokey 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 returned 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 total annihilation.

Intelligence:Genius (Despite appearing as a silent protagonist with little information surrounding him, Ness is a bright, compassionate, strong and determined child that has been acknowledged by many others in the series, even by the TOTU. Even from the beginning of the game, he was willing enough to go out and investigate a meteor that had crash landed in his town. Understood Buzz Buzz's warning about Giygas and his own Destiny, and took up the job without any retaliation. His courage and mental resistances is exceptionally high to such a degree that it can resist Giygas’s influences. Is the leader of the chosen four, having extraordinary navigation, leadership, and communication skills, never getting lost or having doubts traveling around the planet (aside from Homesickness, but eventually got over it) and while still keeping a calm, courageous and optimistic look despite the negativity that surrounds his world or any dire situation he may be in. Able to navigate through a large illusion world with its own set rules of "Yes" meaning "No" and "No" meaning "Yes". Poo remarks how well Ness is able to use PSI without any training, in which he has no trouble executing complex Psychic attacks. One of them includes a powerful psychokinetic wave ability that only he and Giygas knows how to use. It should be noted that Intelligence roughly correlates to the power of PSI. This can be shown by Giygas's race who are Super Geniuses that possesses PSI abilities beyond human comprehension. Despite his nature and inexperience look, Ness is surprisingly a noteworthy tactician in battle; having been able to outwit gang leaders, police officers, an entire cult dedicated to turning the world blue, corrupted mayors with the entire city on their own side, and geniuses such as the Starmen and other advanced enemies in combat. By the time he created Magicant, the realm of his mind, Ness was capable of entering The Sea of Eden, which only those who are "truly ready" are able to enter in. The Sea of eden is said to be filled with "Ultimate Intelligence" and where the Truth of the Universe can be interacted with. When Ness defeated the evil part of his mind, he then learned of his true self, who is the Universe and soon reached out deep within his mind, truly realizing his purpose and destiny. Nigh-Omniscient after awakening his true power (Gained the power of the Sea of Eden, which was described as the Supreme intelligence and Truth of the Universe. His true form is the Universe and exist throughout Time-Space. Told his avatar what's to come in the future, even being completely aware of the Apple of Enlightenment and its prediction and telling him to meet up at Saturn Valley as he and his friends would get something new there. Is an aspect of the Truth of the Universe and absorbed a part of it to himself)
Weaknesses: Pacifist.
