Louis Robinson is an original character created by Darkest Shadow. 
== General Information ==
Louis Montgomery Robinson is a twenty-three-year-old man born in Detroit and later grew up in Autumn Spring, Connecticut. He currently attends University of Rhode Island as a marine biology major. Back at home, he lived with his little sister, Lyra, and his mother. His father's company moved to Texas in 2015. His first apartment was located in Narraganset Beach, with him and his roommate, Danish. Two years later, the two got into a fight over Danish's breakup, resulting in him backing out of the lease, so his girlfriend, Roslyn decided to move in with him over the summer.
Louis has a passion for water. As a kid, he used to love visiting the Great Lakes in Michigan and exploring what was out there. After moving to the east coast, he took an interest in surfing. He started lifeguarding at local pool clubs when he was fifteen, and then later became a beach guard when he moved to Rhode Island.
== History ==
Louis is the first born child of Donatello and Ashley Robinson. The family raised him in a rather small house in a limited suburban area. Detroit was known for it's ridiculously high crime rates and the area they lived in was rather shady and sketchy, so they didn't keep him there for long. Four years later, he met his little sister, Lyra. The two got along great, and survived together in Detroit.
In early 2005, the couple decided that they don't want Louis or Lyra to grow up like their classmates at their sketchy school, so they started looking for housing in a rather safer area, no matter how far away it was. In 2007 the family moved from Michigan to Connecticut, a nicer looking, and far safer area. All flights to Hartford and New Haven were abruptly cancelled, so they had to take several trains. It is there where Louis met his best friend, Emma.
It took a while for Louis and his family to adjust to the quieter lifestyle in Autumn Springs. His peers in elementary school had mixed opinions on the new kid from Detroit. Some of them thought he was the coolest kid on the block, and that he knew things that they didn't; others thought he was strange. A lot of parents were hesitant to let their children play with Louis outside of school, so he formed limited relationships.
The Robinsons liked to go to the Great Lakes every summer, and sometimes save up their money to travel to beaches across the country. Louis grew to love the water, and later took an interest in surfing. When he turned nine, they spent his birthday at Cape May. Donatello took him out to try surfing in, and he fell in love with it. From then on, he would take lessons and dream to become a pro.
By middle school, Louis already had a core group of people that he would spend his time with in and outside of class. They called themselves "The Gang", consisting of himself, Emma, Marmalade, Gwen, and Ryan. Because of their unusual dynamic, Louis was bullied by some of his peers, but he didn't let it phase him. He had fairly average grades, while also playing ice hockey and soccer during the school year. Even at fourteen, he was romantically involved with his then girlfriend, Marmalade.
== Personality ==
The best way to describe Louis is very go-with-the-flow. He always knows what's up and what to do in almost every situation. He also knows how to think twice. Louis thinks of the possibilities of what would happen during a plot and tells the person or people what would go wrong if it is flawed.
Louis is the most loyal friend one could ever make. Down-to-earth and as open as a book, many people agree that he has all the qualities of a good friend. He almost always supports whatever decisions they would make and would always have their back no matter what the circumstance. His laid-back personality makes him a very good candidate to form a friendship with.
Louis has a fantastic sense of humor. He is oftentimes the one in the friend group who cracks a joke at just the right time and gets the whole squad laughing. His laugh is said to be contagious as well. 
Louis never showed any interest in school. His grades were subpar at best, and the thought of high school haunts him to this very day. He often would say that there are more important things in life than to figure out the surface area of a rectangle or who the 22nd president of the United States was.
Louis has shown to be aggressive at points. When something bad happens to him or his friends, he isn't afraid to start a fight. This makes him come off as threatening towards others, and some parents of kids are concerned about him sometimes.
== Physical Appearance ==
Currently, Louis stands at 6 feet and 2 inches tall. He weighs 182 pounds, which is pretty average for someone his age. Louis has a strong gamboge, wavy, shaggy surfer hair that goes down a little above his shoulders. His eyes are a beautiful sky blue color.
