Mentality

Believes in fair and honorable fights for his opponents, but will absolutely wreck their shit if they try to get uppity. He believes that he is a literal god among parahumans, driven by the fact that he has rarely lost fights in the arena. He is capricious and prone to fits of boredom if not properly entertained.

Power

Can copy and combine the effects of powers used within a 60-foot radius of himself. When copying a power, he does not gain protections to it, meaning he can injure himself if he's not careful, but he does overcome other people’s protections when using the power. (Ie, he and a pyrokinetic are equally susceptible to each other’s fire). If he copies two or three abilities at the same time, he can combine them to create a new power.

He does not copy physical mutations tied to powers. While he can copy Tinkers, he needs time to work while they’re nearby, and he would need the same power in order to perform maintenance. He cannot mirror other Trumps, except that he can mirror power effects those other Trumps have picked up and use (ie, he can’t copy Archmage’s copying power, but he can copy a power that Archmage uses from his own copy). He loses a power when someone leaves his radius. When losing power, it gradually decreases over the course of a few seconds, so he does not just plummet out of the sky when losing a flier’s power, but instead descends gently.

He can hold up to three powers at one time. He can choose to discard a power to pick up a new one immediately. When not using any other powers, he has a strong regeneration power that allows him to recover from major wounds within a week.

He is able to sense when powers are being used, which allows him to dodge attacks better as he knows when they’re coming.

Backstory

Growing up, Louis idolized a hero in his hometown. Said hero tried his best to keep his distance, but couldn’t stop Louis from feeling like he had a right to the man’s attention. It got to the point where Louis would show up at crime scenes in progress while the hero was fighting, putting himself in great danger. This culminated in the hero shouting at him that he would never be a hero, he would never be a sidekick, he would never amount to anything.
