21	The middle child and only son in the Loud family, 11-year-old (12 as of Season 6) Lincoln is an average, geeky boy who constantly has to deal with living in a house with ten sisters. He is typically the voice of reason and moral compass among his family, if not a bit [[CheerfulChild quick-witted and fun-loving]] himself.

25	[[folder:#-L]]
26	* AbdicateTheThrone: In the end of [[WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouseMovie the movie]], [[spoiler:Lincoln turns down being the Duke of Loch Loud and chooses to return to Royal Woods with his family, letting Angus take his place]].
27	* AbhorrentAdmirer: He acted as one towards his redheaded crush Cristina, who became so turned off by his attempts to woo her that she transferred classes to avoid his presence, [[DownplayedTrope and he took it in grace]].
28	* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism:
29	** In "Funny Business", when Lincoln's pratfall performance at a children's birthday party becomes viral, he becomes egotistical and rubs his success in Luan's face, setting up the conflict.
30	** Also becomes a plot point of "Out on a Limo", in which he lets his luxurious ride go to his head.
31	** And has a very downplayed case in the movie, where all he wants is to be seen as special like his sisters, and is overall less selfish and big headed than the usual examples. Helps that he has Angus acting as TheConscience to his Ego and keeping him on the straight and narrow.
32	* AdorablyPrecociousChild: While he's just a pre-teen boy with a lot of growing up to do, Lincoln serves as the show's moral compass and voice of reason.
33	* AffectionateNickname: "Linky" by Lola, Leni, and Lily.
34	* AintTooProudToBeg: Near the end of "One of the Boys", he fearfully begs Lori [[ItMakesSenseInContext not to flush his head down the toilet after he breaks her watch]].
35	* AlwaysLate: Lincoln is usually the last one out of all his siblings to be ready in the morning, as shown in "[[Recap/TheLoudHouseS3E22PredictAbilityDrivingAmbition Predict Ability]]" and "[[Recap/TheLoudHouseS3E7FandomPainsRitaHerRights Rita Her Rights]]", although how this trait is shown [[DependingOnTheWriter depends on the writer.]]
36	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: In "A Fridge Too Far", Lincoln manages to outwit [[ThePrankster Luan]] when it comes to pranking, as he sets a booby trap in the refrigerator that culminates in a watermelon falling on Luan's foot, marking this as a rare instance where Luan of all people falls victim to a prank.
37	* AnimalsHateHim: Whenever Lincoln interacts with an animal, said animal, would either flee from him or worse, attack him unprovoked or for no reason at all. Heck, it's surprising how Lincoln is able to manage living with a house full of ''pets'' without any discomfort.
38	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Lori often considers him to be annoying, but she loves him really.
39	* TheArtifact: Originally, the first two seasons' main premise was about Lincoln surviving his crazy household. With the sisters having developed enough to carry their very own plotlines, he's not exactly as important to the series as he once was, and his focus episodes now tend to feature other aspects of his life besides his distressful household.
40	* AuthorAvatar: In the first two seasons at least, Creator/ChrisSavino based Lincoln almost completely on himself as a kid and is the source of his affinity for comics and manga.
41	* BadassBoast: A subdued one, but still somewhat qualifies.
42	-->'''Lincoln:''' Like I said, I might not be the fastest, and I might not be the strongest, but to get ''all'' of my sisters out of the way, it pays to have a plan.
43	* BatmanGambit: Frequently uses his familiarity with his sisters to [[GuileHero pull these]].
44	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler:A primary reason for him [[PassingTheTorch crowning Angus the Duke]] (aside from his worthiness) is the latter caring for him, paying attention to him, mentoring him, and not giving up on him.]]
45	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Not above using trickery and blackmail if he feels his sisters are being unreasonable but is otherwise a nice boy. Also, don't get him mad.
46	* BewareTheSillyOnes: Being awkward, having a lot of growing up to do, and liking to read in his underwear doesn't keep Lincoln from being the "man with a plan".
47	* BigBrotherInstinct: Lincoln is ''very'' protective of his sisters (older and younger, but especially younger). For example --
48	** Whenever Lana and Lola (who are twins) get into fights, he's the one who typically breaks them up and settles their disputes.
49	** In "Left in the Dark", he comforts the twins when they're scared of a possible ghost being in the basement. And when Lincoln and his sisters think there really is a ghost, he loudly states he'll protect them and goes to tackle the "ghost".
50	** In "Sleuth and Consequences", [[spoiler:he takes the fall for Lucy when the family was trying to find out who clogged the toilet.]]
51	** He and his sisters ''immediately'' end their chore feud in "Chore and Peace" when they think Lily has been consumed by the trash. He spends most of that time frantically looking for Lily--she later turns out to be just fine, as she had been with their parents the entire time.
52	** Also counts as ExtremelyProtectiveChild, but the trope comes to a head in the movie, where he [[spoiler:unhesitantly [[GoThroughMe puts himself between]] his family, Angus, and a mind-controlled fire-breathing dragon that's about to burn them alive IMMEDIATELY AFTER WAKING FROM UNCONSCIOUSNESS!]]
53	* BigBrotherMentor: Towards the start of ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouseMovie'', he educates Lily on how to survive living in a big family (needless to say, having had personal experience), and is [[SoProudOfYou proud of her]] when she displays progress.
54	* TheBigDamnKiss: Shares one with Ronnie Anne in "Save the Date".
55	* BigNo: In general, Lincoln uses this trope (i.e. shouts, "No!") whenever things don't go as planned for him.
56	* BigSisterWorship: Towards Luna. He doesn't outright ''worship'' her, but he does look up to her.
57	* BirdsOfAFeather: His crush on Paige in "L is For Love" seems to stem at least partially from the fact she likes video games just like him.
58	* BirthdayEpisode: "Present Danger" has him celebrate his 12th birthday.
59	* BizarreTasteInFood: He has a fondness for ketchup sandwiches as well as peanut butter and sauerkraut sandwiches.
60	* BornUnlucky: [[OnceAnEpisode Happens in almost all of his major appearances early on;]] he tends to frequently run into problems out of his control, and most of the time has to sacrifice his own desires for others. Thankfully absent in later seasons.
61	* BreakingTheFourthWall: He frequently speaks to the viewer about what's going on or what he learned. Since Season 2, it became gradually less and less. But Season 3 confirms this tendency to be a canon ability of his that he not only uses as a coping mechanism, but can also TEACH to others. Like Ronnie Anne.
62	* BreakTheCutie: In "No Such Luck", Lincoln is forced by ''his own parents'' to sleep outside in the dark and they sell all his stuff.
63	* BreakTheHaughty: In "Funny Business", Lincoln's AcquiredSituationalNarcissism results in him not knowing how to handle emo Maggie's birthday, resulting in him being in danger from the reception until Luan steps in.
64	* BrokenAce: Despite having many talents (comic artist, magician, strategist, pageant coach, video games, chess, musician, etc.), Lincoln frequently faces challenges in his everyday life and possesses insecurities.
65	* ButtMonkey: He is frequently on the receiving end of his sisters' antics, and while this isn’t happening, he’s still not free from going on misadventures and suffering misfortunes. Luckily for him, his suffering became downplayed by Season 2 (with "No Such Luck" being a notable exception), with his butt-monkey status being sometimes more-or-less shifted towards [[BreakTheHaughty Lori]] and [[TheChewToy Leni]].
66	* CantStandThemCantLiveWithoutThem: His relationship with his sisters is very much this. As much as they bother him with their constant babbling, immaturity, and overall interference, his life would be complete nothingness without them. This is a plot point of "One of the Boys", where Lincoln travels to an alternate dimension where he has ten brothers instead of ten sisters, only for him to realize that his most desired lifestyle is worse than his current one, thus deciding to return to his sisters.
67	* CharacterCatchphrase: He tends to say "But in a family as big as mine..." when [[BreakingTheFourthWall talking to the audience]].
68	* CharacterDevelopment: In ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouseMovie'', he goes from insecurely believing himself to be stuck in his sisters' shadow, to trying to make himself special by becoming the Duke of Loch Loud, to [[spoiler:[[AbdicateTheThrone passing the title]] onto Angus and being satisfied with his place in his family as the one who takes care of them.]]
69	* CheerfulChild: A quick-witted and fun-loving kid.
70	* TheChessmaster: Being the "man with a plan" includes this kind of speciality.
71	** In "Project Loud House", in order to get all of his sisters out of the door on time, he counters Luan's pranks, settles arguments between Lana and Lola, helps Lucy with her poems, dresses Lily, catches Lynn's football, stops Lisa's flask from exploding, prepares breakfast for his sisters. [[XanatosSpeedChess Even when things go wrong]], he provides solutions to new problems that arise, such as stopping Lisa from trying out her experiments on Leni and impersonating Bobby to get Lori in a better mood so she can drive them to school.
72	** In "Undie Pressure", his methods to win the bet include finding comfortable pants to win, getting Luan to finish a joke, and polishing the kitchen floor with the goal of making Lola look at her own reflection.
73	** In "Toads and Tiaras", in order to get the Dairyland tickets he desires, he has Lana impersonate Lola in a pageant, keeps Lola from finding out, and teaches Lana how to be prim and perfect. [[JerkassRealization He abandons it when he sees that it made Lana feel bad about herself]], although Lana wins anyway.
74	** In "A Tattler's Tale", in response to Lola's blackmailing, he has some of his sisters distract her while he searches her room and subsequently her pageant center to use a secret of hers against her.
75	* TheChewToy: Nearly all the misfortunes that befall him and the advantages his sisters take of him are PlayedForLaughs. Thankfully toned down and mostly averted in later seasons.
76	* ChickMagnet: Girls who spend time with him find themselves having a good time.
77	* ClassicalAntiHero: His primary motivation is his selfish benefits but he still has a deep sense of morality [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther and loves all of his sisters a lot and isn't afraid to show that]]. He often feels [[JackOfAllStats inadequate]] about his own abilities in comparison to his sisters which in turn often feed into his selfish desires, and he makes plenty of mistakes that cause just as many problems for himself as for others. However, he always strives to better himself and learn from those mistakes, and will take the fall for his actions and those of others.
78	* ClosetSublet: His room's actually a converted closet. He doesn't mind though, since it's still his own room while his sisters all have to share their rooms--plus, it actually seems to be a fairly large closet, as it can fit not just Lincoln and one other person (often times Clyde), but all eleven of the Loud kids with no real problems, as seen in some episodes.
79	* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Being the OnlySaneMan, he plays this role whenever paired with [[TheDitz Leni]] or [[ThePrankster Luan]], as he has zero tolerance for their antics.
80	* ComedicUnderwearExposure: A running gag is him [[ShirtlessScene reading comics in his undies]] or getting pantsed in front of everyone at school.
81	* TheComicallySerious: Lincoln is frequently put under the scenario of his sisters' wild antics, unleashing his sanity.
82	* CoolBigBro: Acts like one to his younger sisters in some episodes, such as when he reminded Lisa to carry the one in "Bathroom Break", and when he stopped Lisa from taking Lily's vocal cords in "Potty Mouth".
83	* ColorMotif: He's associated with the color orange, thanks to his orange shirt. The show's logo contains an orange silhouette of his house. He could even be a reference to Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, itself, which is also associated with orange.
84	* CosmicPlaything: Just ''how'' bad Lincoln's day is can reach abnormal and extreme levels DependingOnTheWriter. Generally avoided in later seasons, though he will still suffer a moment of this on occasion.
85	* {{Cosplay}}: He loves dressing up as his favorite superhero, "Ace Savvy", the titular protagnist of his own comic book series and the head commander of the Full Deck.
86	* CrazyPrepared: A lot.
87	** It's shown in "Cover Girls" that he has a trunk under his bed full of sister disguises in case he needs to impersonate any of them, including a split one for being both Lana and Lola at the same time. The trunk also has multiple sizes of the clothes for each of the sisters as well, and it also includes a Lincoln costume.
88	** In ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouseMovie'', he manages to organize his sisters' events so that they happen on time when his parents are too stressed out to do so.
89	* CynicismCatalyst: He undergoes one in [[WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouseMovie the movie]], in which having to witness his sisters be celebrated for their accomplishments, [[NoRespectGuy which he helped make possible]], makes him sell himself short as being boring and ordinary.
90	* DeadpanSnarker: Oftentimes sarcasm goes hand-in-hand with his daily coping of family brawl and school bullying.
91	* DemotedToExtra: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] since he's still an important part of the show, but while he was clearly the main character and the central focus of pretty much every episode in season 1, his role in the show has since been toned down to give other characters their DayInTheLimelight. As of season 3, there have been several episodes already in which Lincoln has only a cameo or is completely absent.
92	* DependingOnTheWriter: How sympathetic Lincoln is. Regularly, the audience pities him based on how often his sisters mistreat him when he's just a civilized being trying to have a normal day, while other episodes showcase him as a selfish jerk who uses manipulation and blackmail to get his way. As the cast developed, he would begin to lean sympathetic, generally being kind and selfless to others, while still making selfish mistakes on occasion.
93	* {{Determinator}}: Will go to incredible lengths to fulfill a task once he puts his mind to it. He spent eight months determining where the best spot was to sit in the family car.
94	* DidntThinkThisThrough:
95	** On occasion, when Lincoln successfully comes up with a scheme to get what he wants, he fails to consider that his ideas, while clever, aren't exclusive to him and his sisters are perfectly capable of copying him to reap the benefits for themselves, and ends up screwed by them anyway.
96	*** In "The Sweet Spot," after months of planning, and hours of negotiation in the dead of night, Lincoln manages to get the best seat in "Vanzilla." When the girls confront him over it, he tries to brush them off, only for them to get in the van and beat him, and each other, up over it.
97	*** Averted at first, and then doubled in "Friendzy", when Lincoln keeps inviting Clyde over because of the "friend card", which allows him to get what he wants on account that Lincoln has a friend over. Eventually the sisters figure out his scheme, and start inviting their friends before Clyde shows up. But, having anticipated that his sisters would copy his idea, he sidesteps them by inviting more friends so the can still get what he wants by way of "majority rules. So they "also" start inviting more and more friends over to the point where their house is overfilled.
98	** "Pasture Bedtime" features an impressive one from him. At Girl Jordan's pool party, he forgets he's in his underwear when challenging Mollie to a cannonball record, and when he and his guy friends hide in the pool house, it doesn't occur to him to use items from in there to cover themselves so they can escape.
99	* DisguisedInDrag: In "A Novel Idea", he dresses as a girl in an attempt to join his sisters at Dad's office.
100	* TheDogBitesBack: While he's usually too cowardly to stand up for himself in the presence of bullies, there are more than a few occasions where he averts his ExtremeDoormat status and grows a spine when least expected.
101	* TheEveryman: Lincoln is the most normal kid in the Loud family (aside from Lori) and like his sister Lisa, he's mainly known for being nerdy and {{geek}}y, the "man with a plan", and of course, being TheProtagonist.
102	* ExhaustedEyeBags: He has these either on the sides of his eyes or below them. Probably caused by the stress of dealing with ten sisters. Then again, he's not ''too'' stressed out and he gets enough sleep, so it might just be genetic considering his parents have them too.
103	* {{Expy}}: of [[Franchise/{{Peanuts}} Charlie Brown]], no doubt due to Chris Savino's love of Newspaper Comics. Both are polo-wearing round-headed kids who are often dealt the short straw, but show determination and perseverance, and keep on going despite the odds. He also has near-identical winter wear to Charlie Brown's in ''[[WesternAnimation/{{ACharlieBrownChristmas}} A Charlie Brown Christmas]]'', and even takes part in his [[https://youtu.be/BQKrqHLgX3g?si=F7G_Y4kx3cVVvziO&t=23 iconic football gag!]]
104	* ExtremeDoormat: Due to his selflessness, he usually lets himself get pushed around, mainly in regard to his sisters.
105	* {{Fanboy}}: Of ''Ace Savvy'', ''Muscle Fish'', ''Rip Hardcore'', etc..
106	* FourthWallObserver: He frequently talks to the viewer about how he survives in such a large and crazy family. By Season 2, this was mostly dropped.
107	* {{Gasshole}}: He can let out a good fart, such as in "A Tale of Two Tables," "Space Invader," and "Roughin' It."
108	* {{Geek}}: He tends to read comic books, likes sci-fi films, often plays video games and would rather play them than exercise, has been to conventions before, is a {{Fanboy}} of ''Ace Savvy'' among other things, collects stuff such as coins, and.. well... just look at his appearance!
109	* TheGenericGuy: Lincoln's a typical, fun-loving, innocent boy whose personality is hardly distinguishable from other kid characters in media. Downplayed in Season 5 onward.
110	* GoodIsNotNice: He is the main protagonist, but [[JerkassBall at times]], he does some jerkish things to his sisters, but he always learns his lesson at the end whenever this happens. Downplayed in later seasons.
111	* GracefulLoser: He commonly ends up failing in his exploits, but normally manages to see the positives of the situation.
112	* HasAType: His crushes indicate that he seems to have a thing for both redheads (Christina and Paige) and dark-skinned girls (Ronnie Anne and Ms. [=DiMartino=]).
113	* TheHeart: Lincoln is characteristically the most moral member of the cast, courtesy of being TheProtagonist.
114	* HeroicSacrifice: In "April Fools Rules", he sets off all of Luan's pranks so that Ronnie Anne won't have to endure them, despite knowing full well how lethal they are. Even after it gets him badly injured, he doesn't care.
115	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Clyde. They're best pals, and have both had straight crushes.
116	* HiddenDepths:
117	** "Changing the Baby" shows some of Lincoln's favorite pastimes are [[SmartPeoplePlayChess playing chess]] in the park and collecting coins.
118	** "Project Loud House" reveals Lincoln can be as poetic as Lucy.
119	** In "House Music" it turns out he can play the cello.
120	** "Study Muffin" Lincoln tells us he's usually a good student (when he's not distracted by his hot substitute teacher), [[BookSmart and is able to score an A on his test]].
121	** "Pulp Fiction" shows that Lincoln not only is a good enough writer and artist that he won a comic writing contest, but that he can redo the entire thing in record time.
122	** "Flying Solo" shows that Lincoln has a BeautifulSingingVoice, which the movie already hinted at, but now it's acknowledged in-universe.
123	* HighPressureEmotion: Lincoln's temper has its limits, and when he finally loses his temper, rage red climbs his face and his turkey tail cowlick becomes a steam whistle.
124	* HollywoodGenetics: Respective blonde and brunette Rita and Lynn Sr. created white-haired Lincoln. It's been confirmed in the show that he was born with white hair [[IdenticalGrandson that he inherited from his maternal grandfather]], yet the rest of the family biologically dons brown or blonde hair. Even WordOfGod has no idea why it's like that, leaving it up to the audience's interpretation...
125	* {{Hypocrite}}: In the episode "The Green House" he gives into peer pressure and hoards the electricity just to host a video game tournament while getting his sisters to give up theirs.
126	* HypocriticalHumor: In "Heavy Meddle", he sounds annoyed when asking why people put empty jars back in the fridge, but then does so himself.
127	* IdenticalGrandson: "Cover Girls" shows that Lincoln's got his maternal grandfather's white hair, skin complexion, and facial features. The Movie also shows that he is an almost exact match for his ancestor, The Duke of Loch Loud; likely possessing the same traits as him, but with problems he clearly lacked.
128	* IdiotBall: Despite being the show's voice of reason, he still manages to pick this up every now and then.
129	* IHaveSisters: Lincoln is the {{middle child\|Syndrome}} and only son of [[MassiveNumberedSiblings eleven kids]], and while he does have typical boyish interests like comic books and video games, most of the "feminine" things that he knows about are related to things that his sisters are interested in (such as Lola's interest in beauty pageants leading Lincoln to know which types of fabric are harder to clean than others), are practical (such as being able to cook) and learning to be kind and sensitive (as shown in "One of the Boys"). However, as shown in "Lincoln Loud: Girl Guru", just because Lincoln has a bunch of sisters, it doesn't automatically make him a "girl expert".
130	* IJustWantToBeSpecial:
131	** In "Making the Case" he wants to win some kind of trophy like most of his sisters did.
132	** In TheMovie, he is jealous of his sisters always getting attention and wishes he were famous like them.
133	* InformedFlaw: In TheMovie, Lincoln feels that he's the only ordinary member of his family, and strives to show he's just as special as his sisters. This is in spite of being shown to possess several talents well on par with his sisters, including being one of the best junior magicians in town, as Clyde points out. Lincoln dismisses this on the basis that anyone could do those things, a statement that could be applied to several of his sisters' talents as well.
134	* InSeriesNickname: Some of the characters, his sisters particular, occasionally call him "Linc".
135	* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Downplayed. Despite his occasional attempts to remind himself he is a [[IWantToBeARealMan man]], Lincoln very much shows he's lived and been raised his entire life around girls, courtesy of his ten sisters. He knows how to knit, design and make clothing, enjoys mud facials and baking, discusses ships on TV shows, cries at emotional moments, has a stuffed rabbit named "Bun-Bun", likes to sing, coaches Lola for her pageants, [[HeCleansUpNicely cleans up nicely]], and overall is very kind and sensitive (his [[JerkassBall selfish tendencies aside]]). However, his primary interests (comic books, video games, sci-fi movies, trucks) are befitting for a typical boy his age, he is thick-skinned and [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]], occasionally indulges in being gross, expresses exasperation towards Lori and Bobby's [[SickeninglySweethearts cheesy romance]], and has an affinity for reading in his underwear.
136	** While his main friend group mostly consists of guys, it's shown he has no problem having both boys and girls as friends.
137	* InkSuitActor: He looks somewhat like his fourth (not counting Sean Ryan Fox) voice actor, Asher Bishop.
138	* ItsAllAboutMe: He can be rather selfish sometimes and controlling of his sisters' lives. Special mentions go to spending ''8 months'' just to find the best seat in Vanzilla and forcing his sisters to appear like people they're not in the family photograph.
139	* JackOfAllStats: Lincoln acts like this out of his sisters. He is not as good as his sisters in what they do, but he is competent enough to impress, and help them in what they are doing: such as helping Lucy write her poems, being one step ahead of Luan in her pranks, preventing Lisa's experiment from exploding by adding a chemical, and catching Lynn's football in "Project Loud House". He is also the only one Luna complimented when the Loud House siblings were playing instruments in "House Music".
140	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: At his worst, Lincoln can be extremely selfish and has been known to try and take advantage of his sisters' own hopes for his own gain. However, almost every time he ends up [[JerkassRealization realizing just how badly he screwed up]] and does his best to try and set things right, even if it gets him into trouble in the process. And flaws aside, he's a thoughtful, sensitive, and caring person.
141	* KidAnova: He's had crushes on no less than ''four'' girls around his age (Christina, Ronnie Anne, Paige, and Stella).
142	* KidAppealCharacter: Lincoln's meant to entertain the show's demographic in that he has "cool" interests like video games, comic books, and sci-fi movies like a typical boy his age. Not only that, but he could also be seen as relatable to them due to facing ideal day-to-day challenges like living in an awkward family (one where he is the only boy among ten girls at that), strict authority figures, [[MisplacedRetribution getting blamed for others' wrongdoings]], and in general combating life's obstacles in pursuit of fun.
143	* KidHero: Though he's already TheProtagonist of the series, he ''definitely'' fits the bill in [[WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouseMovie the movie]], finding himself in scenarios such as facing [[IJustWantToBeSpecial personal insecurities]], becoming temporary Duke, riding a dragon, or [[spoiler:risking his life to save his family and ancestral homeland from [[VileVillainSaccharineShow Morag]]. The episode "Family Bonding" also has him stopping the Millers before they could annihilate all the cherries in Michigan. [[BadassAdorable All whilst retaining his adorable appearance]].]]
144	* KidsShouldntWatchHorrorFilms:
145	** In "The Price of Admission", Lincoln sneaks out at night to watch a horror film his parents prohibited him from seeing and is left psychologically scarred afterwards. His parents don't punish him for his wrongdoing as they decided the trauma he suffered from watching the film was enough of a lesson.
146	** In "The Boss Maybe", he and Clyde watch another horror film, one that Lucy explicitly describes as the "scariest movie of all time." They end up so traumatized by the film's contents it takes Leni reading them a considerably less terrifying tale to calm them down.
147	* KiddieKid: {{Downplayed\|Trope}}. He mostly acts his age, but he still has a stuffed rabbit toy named Bun-Bun, which he deeply cares for.
148	%%* TheKlutz: He is very clumsy.
149	* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: He becomes a massive fan of [[spoiler:his ancestral double, the former Duke of Loch Loud, expressing ecstatism and worship upon finding out about his accomplishments, including being known as the most special of the Louds, and is very much awed when seeing his ghost near the end of the movie.]]
150	* LaterInstallmentWeirdness: His usual fourth-wall breaks became less prominent as of Season 2, as there are a whole handful of episodes where he doesn't speak to the viewer at all. Basically absent in later seasons, outside of the occasional classic callback episode, such as Season 5's "Season's Cheatings" and Season 7's "Fluffed and Foiled".
151	* LightDarknessJuxtaposition: The [[LightIsGood light]] to Lucy's [[DarkIsNotEvil darkness]].
152	* LightIsGood: He has white hair, wears light-coloured clothing, and is a good kid.
153	* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Lincoln admitted that he and his father don't really share many interests outside ''Legends of the Hidden Temple''.
154	* LoserProtagonist: More-so in earlier episodes, [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] because he won more in later episodes.
155	* LovableCoward: Lincoln becomes sensitive when faced with the likelihood of being bullied, but the audience roots for him anyway because his case is understandable, given how he demands privacy and does not want to be harassed.
156	* LovableNerd: Lincoln is into video games and comic books, but he's also very endearing, sympathetic and sweet-natured towards his friends and family.
157	[[/folder]]

159	[[folder:M-Z]]
160	* ManipulativeBastard:
161	** He's not above blackmailing Lori to get information about what she did to Leni in the episode "Driving Miss Hazy".
162	** In "Suite and Sour", he manages to convince his parents to allow him and his sisters to go to a luxurious hotel with them through a play.
163	* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The Feminine Boy (has a stuffed rabbit and is InTouchWithHisFeminineSide) to Ronnie's Masculine Girl (a rough and aggressive LovingBully). He shares a similar dynamic as the Feminine Boy with his more tomboyish sisters, such as Luna, Lynn, and Lana.
164	* MatureYoungerSibling: Lincoln usually serves as the OnlySaneMan among his circle of ten sisters, who, both the younger and older ones, usually start fights with him, [[MisplacedRetribution blame him for their own faults]], and rub their personality quirks in his face while he's trying to go about his day. Sometimes he'll be the one to cheer up one of his older sisters whenever they face a problem.
165	* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's not known how he's able to remove his underwear without taking off his pants.
166	* MeaningfulName:
167	** His name is likely derived from U.S. president UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln, as [[spoiler:he was born aboard the presidential limousine.]]
168	** His nickname, Linc, also fits in that he's the link connecting his sisters together, as he tries to solve their issues and keep the family united. In a meta sense, given that he's TheEveryman and AudienceSurrogate and has a habit of BreakingTheFourthWall, he's also the link between the show and the audience.
169	** His name means "From The Lake's Settlement," which alludes to his survival skills when dealing with the sisters.
170	* MiddleChildSyndrome: Flat-out placed in this position. He's the middle child and sometimes feels like he needs more attention.
171	* MisplacedRetribution: Often gets on the receiving end of this trope. Whenever his classmates hear that his sisters are acting up, they take their wrath upon him, as if they [[WouldntHitAGirl can't bring themselves to punish his sisters]], [[KarmaHoudini who are the real culprits]]. The worst offenders are "The Green House" (in which he nearly becomes the school outcast due to his sisters' wanton use of electricity, heat energy, etc.) and "Making the Grade" (in which he is sent to the "sticky table" because Lisa is patronizing the fifth graders).
172	* MommasBoy: Lincoln seems to have a better relationship with his mother than his father, behaving like his CheerfulChild self around her. In fact, Lincoln [[LikeFatherUnlikeSon isn't shown to have much in common with his dad]] (other than their love of ''Legends of the Hidden Temple'').
173	* MrImagination: "Butterfly Effect" shows that Lincoln's imagination is capable of conceiving DisasterDominoes.
174	* NiceGuy: Lincoln is a friendly boy who is willing to sacrifice his own happiness for his sisters.
175	* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Despite his [[JerkassBall occasional selfishness]], Lincoln is still the nice compered to how last oldest sister Lynn Jr is mean, while his first youngest sister Lucy is in-between. Among the three of them they are the middle children of the Loud family. Would lean closer and closet to Nice as the series went on.
176	* NoRespectGuy: Lincoln is (usually) the OnlySaneMan, whose words of wisdom are frequently ignored in favor of his sisters' rowdiness. Downplayed later on as his sisters became more human and sympathetic, and they now often go to him for advice, Lori especially.
177	* NotMeThisTime: Lincoln's claim that starts the plot of "Sleuth or Consequences" is that, despite often doing it in the past, this particular instance of the toilet being plugged isn't his fault.
178	* NotSoAboveItAll: He acts like the only sane boy, but he does like to read in his underwear.
179	* TheOneGuy: The only boy of in a family full of girls.
180	* OnlySaneMan: Lincoln is the show's voice of reason and seems to be the character with the most common sense, aside from Lori and Lisa (well, usually). This is especially noticeable in "Project Loud House", "Heavy Meddle", and "Cereal Offender". Exaggerated in "Study Muffin", to the point even his own dad is in on obsessively stalking Hugh.
181	* OutOfFocus: By Season 3, he has begun to appear less. Either he is absent in several episodes, or he gets a minimal or secondary role. Either way, the series spotlight has begun to be more focused in his sisters and their relationship between them. Zigzagged nowadays. While he's still absent in several episodes, he began to receive more focus episodes as of Season 5, with many centered around the adventures of him and his group of friends.
182	* OvershadowedByAwesome:
183	** In "Making the Case" it's shown he feels he lives in shadows of his 10 sisters because unlike them he had no trophy.
184	** His character arc in the Movie is entirely based on him feeling not special compared to his town-famous sisters.
185	* ThePollyanna: Despite his rough at-home life, Lincoln nevertheless maintains his default CheerfulChild status.
186	* PositiveFriendInfluence: He's shown to be a good influence on Clyde, often discouraging his obsessive tendencies toward Lori.
187	* PrecociousCrush: Lincoln has a crush on his teacher, Ms. [=DiMartino=], as do the rest of his boy classmates.
188	* PuppyLove: He has had crushes on Ronnie Anne, Paige, and Christina.
189	* RedOniBlueOni:
190	** The red to Clyde's blue. Lincoln is often the go-getter of the duo that leads their activities, while Clyde is often the voice of reason that tries to keep Lincoln in line when things go too far (assuming [[NotSoAboveItAll that he's not also guilty of the same behavior]]).
191	** Within the middle children of the Loud Family, he plays the [[CheerfulChild Red Oni]] to [[{{Goth}} Lucy's Blue]] and plays the [[StraightMan Blue Oni]] to [[PassionateSportsGirl Lynn's Red]].
192	* ResentfulOutnumberedSibling: Lincoln's sisters outnumber him ten to one, and he's right in the middle. He sometimes resents only having sisters and feels like the odd one out.
193	* RidiculouslyAverageGuy: Lincoln is the only one of his family who's never won a trophy. Though a background scene from "Insta-Gran" may prove otherwise. Averted in later seasons, as he's shown to have earned trophies for his skills as a performance magician.
194	* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: He used to scream like this in the earlier two seasons, before his voice actor changed.
195	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan:
196	** By a very narrow margin, there's him as the manly man to Clyde's sensitive guy. Both are conventionally nerdy, somewhat wimpy kids with a series of feminine qualities, but Clyde takes these traits to bigger extremes than Lincoln. Also, Lincoln has a thick skin and can handle things going bad, while Clyde is far more emotionally fragile and sensitive. Compare their reactions to finding out their favorite show 'ARGGH!' is fake in "ARGGH! You For Real".
197	-->'''Lincoln:''' I can handle it, but my friend Clyde is crushed.
198	** Downplayed with him as the sensitive guy to Liam's manly man. Liam isn't devoid of a sensitive side himself, as he is hurt over Lincoln and their guy friends ditching his sleepover, takes a nervous approach to the start of middle school, and tears up at Lincoln's singing voice, but he is an expert at baseball, enjoys it, can wrestle, proudly tends to get dirty as a farm boy, and lacks the InTouchWithHisFeminineSide qualities that Lincoln has.
199	* SmallNameBigEgo: DependingOnTheWriter, he becomes overconfident about his goodness and tends to put himself and his affairs above others and theirs.
200	* TheSocialExpert: Zig-zagged. His plans tend to involve acting accordingly to what someone would do. However, he can overlook details, and isn't immune to [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter trusting the wrong person]] (Chandler, Morag).
201	* StarringSmurfette: He is the only boy in a family full of girls and he is usually the main character. Somewhat subverted in the later episodes, which put more focus on his sisters and other characters.
202	* StraightMan: He brings his morality into full force whenever faced with the unfortunate scenario of being paired with his more absent-minded or kookier siblings.
203	* SurroundedByIdiots: Lincoln is forced to live with a bunch of girls who screw him over and lack common sense, who he usually acts as the voice of reason to. Although, he truly loves them.
204	* TeamChef: While Lynn Sr. is the family chef, Lincoln occasionally takes over the cooking and is quite good at cooking for his sisters, [[SupremeChef even able to prepare hard-boiled eggs from the pan]].
205	* TerrifiedOfGerms: Seems to be easily grossed out over things such as someone using his toothbrush or dropping something in the toilet. He usually freaks out if something is gross to him.
206	* ThisLoserIsYou: Lincoln's clearly meant to be relatable to the audience in that he's a nerdy kid who not only faces the looming prospect of ridicule, but also struggles to fit in both at school and in an odd family (one where he is the only brother among ten sisters at that).
207	* ThrowTheDogABone: Season 2 onwards seems to be leveling off on his ButtMonkey status. This is {{Justified\|Trope}} in episodes where he's more or less demoted to a supporting or minor character, and especially becomes more prevalent as the series progresses since his ButtMonkey status has been toned down.
208	* TokenGoodTeammate: Downplayed. Lincoln can [[JerkassBall be a bit of a self-centered jerk at times]], but by default, he often holds the status as the OnlySaneMan of the house, who is [[NiceGuy usually really nice]], but constantly deals with being harassed or pestered by his vexatious sisters. Leni, Luna, Luan, Lucy, Lana, and Lily are also good-natured, but they have their own respective flaws, which often interfere with Lincoln's day.
209	* TooCleverByHalf: Lincoln is a smart boy who comes up with inventive solutions to get around the chaos of his house, and elaborate plans to get what he wants. But while he is smart enough to think of these plans, he [[DidntThinkthisThrough sometimes doesn't consider that his plans are not exclusive to him and his sisters can simply copy what he does to reap the benefits for themselves]].
210	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Seems to really like chicken nuggets and Mac and cheese bites.
211	* TranquilFury: He tends to not significantly raise his voice, even when furious.
212	* TraumaCongaLine: Though he already goes through [[BornUnlucky quite a bit of misfortune]] in the show, especially in episodes like "No Such Luck", he ''really'' gets put through the wringer in [[WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouseMovie the movie]], in which he constantly lives in the shadow of all his 10 sisters, older ''and'' younger, to the point of being pushed out of their achievement picture and locked outside his father's restaurant, which they were celebrating in, [[DudeWheresMyRespect despite him playing a large role in helping their achievements be possible]]. Then, he has a BSODSong about how [[IJustWantToBeSpecial insignificant he is]], strolling down the streets alone in the dark while doing so. Just when it looks like he'll finally get glory through being the Duke of Loch Loud in Scotland, [[spoiler:Morag uses the Dragon Stone to mind control the dragon he's riding and destroy the town, framing him in the process. The people turning on him causes him to [[BrokenTears break down crying]]. Later, he has to witness his entire family being nearly murdered by Morag right before his eyes, and him [[KidHero risking his life to save them]] causes her to corner him over a cliff, where he nearly falls to his death alongside his baby sister before they are rescued by Lela. All this at the age of 11.]]
213	* UnfazedEveryman: On his more cynical days, Lincoln has SeenItAll and can't help but retaliate with sarcasm.
214	%%* UniversallyBelovedLeader: As a nice change of pace, this is his reputation amongst the people of Loch Loud after being crowned Duke and after [[spoiler:he saves Scotland from Morag, and the townspeople apologize to him. Deeming him the "Loudest of All Louds".]]
215	* UnluckyEverydude: More-so in earlier episodes, where his ButtMonkey and BornUnlucky roles were more frequent and prominent.
216	* UnwantedAssistance:
217	** His reaction to his sisters in "Heavy Meddle."
218	** Played straight and then inverted in "White Hare". Lincoln avoids them specifically due to the events in "Heavy Meddle" then after his dream, seeks out their assistance.
219	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His insulting of Ronnie Anne prompts Bobby to break up with Lori when he finds out, sending her into an emotional rage where she forces Lincoln to double date with them in order to make things up to them. His initial refusal nearly finds him on the receiving end of a nightstand!
220	* VocalEvolution: His voice got a bit lower in the second third of Season 1 due to Palmer hitting puberty. By the time Dean took over, his voice returned to its original high pitch, albeit a little whinier.
221	* WellIntentionedExtremist: His plans intended to help himself and his family can on occasion involve taking advantage of others.
222	* WiseBeyondHisYears: Downplayed. He mostly acts his age, and has his fair share of unwise moments, but Lincoln still often takes on a very impressive level of responsibility when it comes to dealing with his sisters or keeping them in check, as well as getting himself and his friends out of trouble.
223	* WouldHitAGirl: [[spoiler:He faces off against Morag physically in TheMovie, though this is ''definitely'' justified as she is trying to murder him and his family.]]
224	* WouldntHitAGirl: Played with, Lincoln firmly believes that violence doesn't solve anything, but he holds an especial grudge against using it towards the female populace. This reluctance of his serves as a main plot point in "Heavy Meddle", where he didn't help to retaliate against Ronnie Anne's physical abuse simply because of her gender. But this doesn't seem to extend to his sisters, who he freely fights with in his everyday life. Also averted in "Back Out There", where he fights Renee over a comic book, and one of them punches the other, [[spoiler:as well as with Morag in TheMovie.]]
225	* WomenAreWiser: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]].
226	** He's often portrayed as wiser than his sisters, including Lori and Lisa occasionally.
227	** Between him and [[ShipTease Ronnie Anne]], he's the more rational.
228	* YouthfulFreckles: Shares this trait with Luna, Lynn, and Clyde. He has freckles to showcase his nerdiness.
