Lars is a hyperactive, cocky, fun-loving whirlwind who treats life like one big party he’s destined to win. He has Gojo’s (Jujutsu Kaisen) overwhelming confidence and “I’m simply the strongest” attitude, but dialed to 11-year-old chaos levels. He’s loud, theatrical (Genie from Aladdin), loyal to his friends (Don Dogoier/Gokai Green from Gokaiger and Mikey from TMNT), and often hilariously dense (Billy from the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy). He loves showing off, cracking jokes mid-fight (or mid-playground argument), and hyping up his crew. Deep down he’s protective of his friends and has a strong sense of justice, but he’d rather clown around than be serious.
