Right then, here's what I've managed to gather on that end.

Main JRPG protagonists who were reportedly kidnapped from their homes by a rival kingdom at an early age (although Luke was quickly reclaimed by his home kingdom) and forced to live out their youths in a sizeable, but isolated castle/manor that they were forbidden from leaving under any circumstance. There, they would be raised as members of the esteemed royal families that resided there, whilst also forging close friendships with their retainers and sword fighting instructors. This experience, while undoubtedly safe and luxurious, left them all but naive to the ways of the outside world. As a result, their more experienced companions are constantly required to explain certain aspects of their world to them that would otherwise be considered common knowledge.

Both are kind-hearted and forgiving to a fault, and they even share a mutual disdain for taking the lives of others, to the point where they will willingly spare the lives of enemies that have tried to kill them just moments ago. However, when the times call for it, they will reluctantly move past their pacifistic ideals in order to protect themselves and the ones they love from harm. With that said, both of them are often quick to blame themselves for many of the tragedies that occur throughout each game, and they share a tendency to over apologize to people whom they've upset as well.

Luke and Corrin's naiveté would come under fire when they were thrust away from their lifelong homes into the outside world due to various unforeseen circumstances. They would quickly find themselves caught up in an impending conflict between two rivaling kingdoms that threatened to boil over into an all-out war at any given moment. As such, both of them would go out of their way to seek peace between these warring nations at any cost, gathering several allies from both sides of the conflict along the way with the eventual hope of uniting them all against a greater threat.

Despite what they (along with the families they've been living with) have been lead to believe, Luke and Corrin's birth fathers would eventually turn out to be the main antagonists of their respective games, Van Grants and Anankos. (Luke's case is a little different, as he was created as a Replica as opposed to being Van's biological son, but the concept is still the same.) It was because of the circumstances behind their births that Luke and Corrin possessed unique abilities shared by no one else in their parties, namely the ability to trigger Hyperresonances (which basically means Luke can create or destroy matter at will) solo or to turn into a dragon.

Oh, and they're also displayed as the main love interests of Azura and Tear, who I've already discussed above. (Corrin's case isn't entirely official, but he does share more canonical romantic teasing with Azura than most other members of the cast anyway.)
