Nintendo Characters - Ness

Ness is the silent protagonist in Earthbound. Out of all three of the Mother games released (two of which weren't even released in America), Ness is probably the most notable, possibly because he was the only Mother rep in the Super Smash Bros. series as of yet. He has an unusual pack of weapons, which include baseball bats, yoyos, slingshots and more.

Most RPG characters have epic personalities, and are usualy strong warriors or soldiers. Ness, however, is just a young kid with some special psychic powers.

For most of his life, he was living peacefully in Onett, until one day a meteor crashed onto Earth, where an alien inside told Ness that he had an obligation, which was ultimately to save Earth! Now that's what I'm taklin 'bout!

While not as popular as, say, Mario, Link, or Samus Aran, Ness is a cult favorite among thousands of Nintendo fans who have been craving the release of Mother 3 in America (however, Mother 3 stars Lucas rather than Ness).
