Lucas was only seven when he began to show signs of a 'special gift'. When he got angry... strange things would happen. Things would shatter, shake or move... his parents would hear his screaming so vividly it was as if it were in their own heads. Not to mention he'd always talk to the dog. He'd actually have conversations with her.
His mother wanted to get him tested by a group of scientists who's research was all about abnormal gifts of the mind. His father, however, was ashamed that his son was 'a freak' and wanted to keep it a secret. They argued often and in the end Lucas never went to the institute to be tested... but his mother kept him safe and did what she could to try and help him to learn to control his gifts.
When he was twelve, however, his mother passed away. Without his mother's protection his father became rather abusive, locking him in the basement at night, beating him if he ever used his abilities. And just outright ignoring him unless he was doing something to make the boy miserable.
Lucas cooked and cleaned for himself and played on his own as his father refused to let him out to play with other children as he was afraid his son would do something to make their family look bad... namely using his horrible powers.
His father quickly had him home schooled as well so Lucas spent most of his time locked away in his home. He spent a lot of time reading and studying and his schooling progressed extremely quickly... he was a very fast learner to begin with and the one on one attention just made things that much faster.
Eventually, however, Lucas' father got tired of taking care of a boy he wanted nothing to do with. When he started funding the SeaQuest project he decided to send his boy there, call it a learning experience... anything to get rid of the brat.
So Lucas was sent to the SeaQuest and was ecstatic to be somewhere other then his fathers place. He loved it there and soon became a big part of the crew. He made sure to keep his powers a secret as he was afraid that if these people knew about what he was... they'd hate him just like his father did.
