Arthur Louise

Arthur Louise is an American Villain, while still new to the world in terms of infamy, Arthur has been living an outlaw and struggling lifestyle since an early childhood. Growing up in Detroit Arthur's descent into villainy was inevitable due to his social standings as an orphan and being raised alongside others who believed the world has both abandoned and detested them.

## Battle Prowess

### Abilities

* **Enhanced Martial Prowess**: While he has been known for using long knives or short blades, Arthur relies heavily on his martial prowess to maximize the effectiveness of his Quirk. He prefers the raw power of close-quarters combat over projectiles or ranged attacks. His combat style is deeply rooted in his self-taught experience, garnered through countless street fights and altercations with gangs and others throughout his life. While Arthur's early fights were scrappy and instinctive, over time, observers began to notice a semblance of skill and genuine technique in his approach. Arthur is not limited to just punches, being a fan of using kicks, grapples, and takedowns as well. When facing foes larger and more physically imposing than himself he uses the extended reach of his legs, to slam dynamic kicks to strike opponents before their punches can land. Arthur's ability to read and attack opponents stems from his high innate fighting sense. While he certainly learns from his experiences and training, much of his ability comes from instinct rather than solely practiced study. This natural aptitude gives him an edge in reacting swiftly and decisively in the heat of battle.
* **Greater Physical Prowess**: Whether it be his physical strength, his speed or endurance, Arthur is a powerhouse in any of these. This is due to how basic his quirk has always been and the fact it multiplies his existing abilities, which led him to train himself in each to get the most of his quirk. His dedication to his own growth can be seen in his regular routine being composed of high protein meals and a lot of highly disciplined and physically enhancing work outs that range from having pushups with weights resting on him while wearing a weighted chest plate to running and maintaining top speed for over an hour while carrying a sand bag on his back and so on. Because of this even when not using his quirk most tend to think he is superhuman. For example when he was hit in the head by a metal bat from a gangs enforcer, he was still able to stand and defeat not just the enforcer but the crew of ten others. While he did sutstai an injury, his endurance showed that it wasn't much. He could pick up a full grown man with a hand, showing his grip strength being so formidable that he can keep his target trapped unable to break away and enough power to lift someone his size or greater with a single arm. On a moment of distress, without using his quirk Arthur has ran someone into a large reinforced metal door causing a large dent made on its surface almost caving it in entirely.
* **Enhanced Adaptivity and Intelligence**: Because of how his quirk doesn't have any real destructive power, Arthur has always placed an importance on his adaptivity and intelligence. He regularly reads articles both online and in newspaper on top rated heroes or simply the heroes that are within the area he may be at. So much so that he has compiled extensive notes and journals filled with information on heroes, their abilities, careers, hobbies, whatever he can gather. He places so much an emphasis on his intelligence that he places books under during push ups or listening to interviews, audio books, or just the news while on runs. He excels in strategic thinking and problem-solving, often finding innovative solutions to challenges, whether in combat scenarios or dealing with specific targets with the least amount of trouble. Arthur combines his physical prowess with his intelligence over hero abilities to adapt rapidly during combat. He can identify opponents' weaknesses and adjust his tactics accordingly, often surprising foes.

### Quirk

Vital Surge is an Emitter Type quirk that gives Arthur the ability to build up a unique energy within his body. This energy can be harnessed to augment various aspects of his physical abilities, allowing Arthur to tailor these enhancements to his specific needs. He can improve his strength, durability, agility, sensory perception, or even enhance internal functions such as processing toxins or ability to think. Arthur has the ability to transfer this energy to others via touch. This enables him to provide a short-lived boost of power to allies.

#### Weaknesses

Vital Surge can only be gathered when Arthur is in a calm and relaxed state, making it impractical to generate during the heat of battle. Meaning usually Arthur needs to cultivate and charge up this energy beforehand or keep some in reserve. Along with this the more of this energy is focused on a specific area the higher potency it'll have but with that it also means the more spread out it is, which leads to it diluting itself in terms of strength.
