Louis's backstory

Louis was born to a mother and father in a bad situation, they lived in what could be considered a ghetto and were rather regularly robbed and beat up by gangbangers and the like. They did their best to protect Louis and sent him off to live with his aunt who was in a much nicer part of town, albeit they had their own issues since they lived on the edge of the ghetto itself. Since he was young he harbored an incredible fire of justice in his belly, egged on by shows like Power Rangers and other such Sentai shows. He stood up for the people who kept getting mugged and robbed in his town and....frequently got stabbed, hurt, and "made an example of" by the gangs who were trying to make lee-way into his neighborhood. As time went on he began to question if...justice was really something he could achieve, he was the child of poor people who were most likely dead and he didn't have the sheer strength necessary to achieve his goals, all he had was the will and determination but even those began to crack as he began to see just how deep the hole of corruption and evil goes after an incident that resulted in his face getting carved up by a gang leader to set an example for his men, he would have been killed if it weren't for one of the men killing their boss and getting him out of there as he was gunned down, he...later found out that that man was his father and he fell into despair. His mother fled and came to live with her sister, his aunt, yet he continued to blame himself for what happened to the father he never truly knew. The flame of justice burns ever on in his heart, yet in these trying times wavers as he questions if justice truly has a place in this world.

Part of his story is that earlier on in his life, he went to a trade school for 2 professions he has a bit of a passion for, medicine and chemistry in hopes that he could make new medication in order to help more people. Unfortunately...during some particularly hard times for his aunt who was being extorted by a local gang over the fact she had to take out a loan on the grocery store she owned, he did something that he'd come to regret for the rest of his life , seeing no other way despite his hatred of breaking the law he decided to use the skills he learned and master to synthesize a new drug that he named "Turbogenics" something with similar effects to speed but with the hallucinogenic effects of shrooms, after going around he ended up selling the small batch he had made and got enough cash to pay off the entirety of the loan as well as make sure that his aunt wouldn't have any trouble for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, after the supply of the drug went dry, word of it got out to a local crime boss, a woman feared for her shrewdness as well as lethal brutality nicknamed "The Jaguar of Kajuro". She had taken a special interest in this drug and had her goons kidnap Louis during the night. She offered him an ultimatum, Join her and make new drugs so she could make profit and bank and in turn she'd give him protection and a high up place in her gang, or he'll get killed and his family will get killed for daring to sell drugs in her territory. At this point however, he had already had a reputation on the streets of being a hero and being quite the tough bastard to actually take down, so of course he refused, saying that although it make make him a hypocrite, he won't make or sell any more drugs as long as he lived. She, of course, didn't like this and had a glasgow smile carved into his face with her own blade and ordered his head brought to her. He fought his way out and dragged himself home despite being slashed, shot, and otherwise injured by the goons that were sent after him. During these months of constant fighting he went and started training at a boxing gym so he could learn how to defend himself which was only sped along by the street-fighting experienced he picked up, he focused more on speed and stalwart defense combined with his physical might which served to make him a fairly speedy, tanky, and powerful fighter and boxer. He continued to train in between getting attacked over the years.

Despite all this, the legends about him being an armored tank that was infallible were...less than true. He's a very nervous and anxious person who looks at his own body and although he sees his scars as proof of his fight against injustice, he...still feels like his body's not his own, that the person he sees in the mirror isn't him. Despite the strength he's attained he finds that...the body he feels like he's been forced to attain is well...something that was forced upon him by his circumstances, yet he chalks this up as just being self-conscious about his scars rather than anything deeper.
