== Biography ==
=== Background ===
Louis grew up in the posthuman town of Glass Hills. He learned to control his powers among his family as a little kid. When he was eight, he accidentally burned his cousin so badly she had to go to the hospital. In order to protect him, she first had Louis burn her worse, so it would look like she fell into a campfire instead.Spectral Evidence: Part One
Louis's parents were very accepting of him coming out as bisexual.
When he had a dangerously high fever, Louis accidentally hurt someone with his powers. He received a strike and was sent to Maillardet's Foundation for the third block of training.Spectral Evidence: Part One
=== At the Academy ===
Louis is sent to the Academy for the third block of training and is partnered with Bence Kardos.
At some point, he dated Briar Honeywell, but broke up with her because he said she was crazy. Both Briar and her twin brother Bradleigh hate Louis because of the breakup.
With only a few schooldays left in his second year, Louis gets seriously injured during a search and rescue exercise in A&K class. While hiking through the woods on campus, he slips and falls into a stream, nicking his femoral artery. He is able to use his powers to cauterize the wound, having a heat construct stitch it closed. With the help of Bence and another construct, he makes it back to where the teachers are waiting.
His injury sends him to the hospital, and then the school infirmary. He is forced to spend half the winter break recovering at Foundation instead of going home to Glass Hills. Even though his impromptu surgery damaged his leg muscles, Louis has to remain a student at the Academy because he has a strike. While recovering, he and Bence admit their feelings for one another and kiss. 
Louis and Bence stay in touch over winter break using burner phones, and become roommates and secret boyfriends for their last year of third block. He understands that Bence wants to stay closeted, but is frustrated by his defensiveness regarding their relationship. Louis also tries to convince Bence to get help with his dyslexia. When convincing him to get an official diagnosis from the school nurse and classroom accommodations doesn't work, he borrows Mitsuko Maki's audiobook textbooks for him to use instead.
At the end of their third year,The Posterchildren Book Club Discord, #spoilers, 9/29/2017, quipquipquip: "The Target Practice mention is incorrect. They're third year going on Capstone." Louis and Bence participate in a practical scenario for a chance at an extra two points each. They have 72 hours to find and liberate Instructor Orenstein from a location in the woods where she is being guarded by another instructor. Even though the scenario participants are explicitly instructed to stay out of each others' way and focus on their own objectives, they steal Ida Mae and Maks's map and supplies to reduce their competition. However, they end up being disqualified for an unrelated reason.Target Practice
== Personality ==
Louis is a good student, with some of the highest grades in his class. He likes reading, especially science fiction books, and has an extensive vocabulary.
His views on his hometown of Glass Hills make him unpopular with his classmates, but this does not bother Louis, who does not care about making friends at the Academy anyway. He hates the BPHA and the strike system, believing they do more harm than good for posthumans.
Louis is good at telling when people are lying to him.
== Physical Appearance ==
Louis has naturally tan skin, brown eyes, and dark hair. He wants to wear it long, but doesn't actually have the patience to let it grow out properly, leaving it shaggy.
== Powers and Abilities ==
Louis generates invisible but solid heat constructs. While others believe that he only creates simple objects, like shields or knives, the constructs are actually sentient, taking the form of monsters. He refers to them with female pronouns.Spectral Evidence: Part Two Louis has no upper limit on how many constructs he can make. Even though this should technically earn him an Alpha ranking, Louis prefers to keep the true extent of his powers hidden because Alphas are required to get mandatory training and he has no interest in being a public hero.
He is heatproof, and able to use his powers to keep himself warm. If he is angry, his body temperature spikes, sometimes enough to scorch cloth.
