Script to give tools based on character value, Why won't this work?

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
		    Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
			        local player = script.Parent
			        local Char = player.EquippedCharacter.Value
			        local Tool = script.Blaster
			 
			        if Char == "Lucas" then
				            local ToolClone = Tool:Clone()
				            ToolClone.Parent = Player.Backpack
				        end
			    end)
		end)

There is a value stored under the player called EquippedCharacter than it changed based on what character is selected in the shop, in this case Lucas. It is similar to how a leadstat is stored I guess. I want this script to give you tools if you have Lucas selected but it wont work? Could I get some help?

I don't know why but this normally works for me, get rid of the .Value in the local Char and make it so that instead of

if Char == "Lucas then

its

if Char.Value == "Lucas then
