Lucas Baker (Uninfected AU)

STORY

Born in the early 1990s to Jack and Marguerite Baker, Lucas was a creative boy from an early age on. He won several awards for machines and inventions he built during school. His interest for engineering and inventing were encouraged by his parents, it is revealed that his mother gave him a jigsaw puzzle.

In contrast to his parents and his sister Zoe, Lucas was already mentally unstable before the boat crash. He was widely seen as a "bad seed" and in his youth, with a notable incident being when he trapped his childhood bully Oliver on the attic of the Baker farmhouse by sealing the exit with a remote control he build himself. To prevent Zoe from finding the remote he built it into one of his trophies and disguised the trophy as a lamp. Trapped at the attic, Oliver starved to death. Although his parents never found out about Oliver's death, it is implied that they might have guessed that something was wrong with Lucas because they brought him to a hospital to get a head scan. As he grew older, Lucas came to despise his family, evident by him creating a "Fuck You" list on any grievances he had against them.

When three investigative journalists came to check the abandoned Baker farmhouse after the events of the boat crash, they were captured. The cameraman, Clancy, was given to Lucas who put him into his "Happy Birthday" riddle room. Although Clancy started to solve the room, several injuries were inflicted to him, including a balloon filled with sharp objects which tore into Clancy's skin when he tried to inflate it and a password to a door being driven into his arm with a quill. Eventually, Clancy managed to solve the room but solving the riddle also caused an explosion that ignited a burnable fluid on the floor of the room. Clancy burned to death and Lucas retrieved his body, which had been equipped with a camera filming the entire ordeal.

Prior to placing Clancy in his "Happy birthday" room, Lucas forced Clancy to play a game of Blackjack with another captive by the name of Hoffman where the loser would have their fingers cut off, be electrocuted, and eventually be cut apart by a saw blade. Clancy eventually won, but Lucas decided that he wished to continue to torment him, leading to him being forced to play another one of Lucas's games which would lead to his death.

PERSONALITY

Lucas Baker is truly evil. His personality was somewhat childlike, as he was shown to be extremely detestable, sullen, and overall unpleasant towards his family and their guests, often preferring to be on his phone instead. He also became known for being a bad seed and (as revealed through his diary) mentally troubled as he locked a boy in his attic to die of thirst and starvation for calling him a "crazy head", showing himself to dish out disproportionate retribution.

Despite this, he went on to be a gifted inventor and won many awards. He would later show intense pride of his accomplishments as he went out of his way to protect his trophies and privacy from his sister and was so possessive of his childhood room that he attempted to deny a shipwrecked girl to it.

His intelligence, inventive abilities, reveal that sadistic personality is genuine as it comes, as unlike his family. Lucas chooses to torture his victims before killing them, promising his victims freedom in his death traps if they play his games, but clearly enjoys watching them suffer too much to let them earn their escape as seen with Hoffman and Clancy. His childishness is shown by the ways he's prone to having immature temper tantrums when his cheating falls through as he was clearly shocked when Clancy won during his unbeatable card game and literally seethed with rage when Ethan did not burn to death in his trap like Clancy before him.

Unlike the rest of the Bakers, even pre-infection, Lucas has shown little love to the members of his family. His hidden note in the attic reveals that he curses his family behind their backs for their constant scolding of him through his "Fuck-You List" that includes incidents like Jack slapped him for using the smartphone during dinner, getting scolded by his mother for commenting on her cooking, Zoe calling him a pervert for looking at her during yoga or Jack throwing all his stuff in the red box on the veranda.
