”Louis Calvin, without being rude, looks like he’s been trapped on an island for the last 5 years. He has a long, messy beard, he’s underweight, and he showed up dirty. We do hope that his recovery under the guiding hands of Olympus assists him in fixing this.”

”Louis is a nice enough guy. If a bit paranoid possibly due to the island thing and being under constant surveillance since the return. But he seems to want to help and he is most certainly doing his best.

Louis is a sweet guy who desperately needs some attention and care before being reintroduced into the general public. Does Olympus have the psychologists needed for such an undertaken? I guess we’ll have to find out. "

Louis Calvin was born in Boston, MA and was raised in a fairly average household. He went to school, made friends, went to college, met a girl and settled down.

Soon though, he was offered employment by the technological giant known as Olympus. He was tasked with going on an expedition to learn more about the islands called Ke Ahi-Ahi.

This is where things became interesting for young Louis Calvin. Ke Ahi-Ahi was surrounded by “dark magic” and “alien force fields”. If the expedition wanted to enter, they had to contact the mysterious Curator about one of the items in his possession. A small idol that allowed them past the islands defenses.

They never expected that the easy part would be to get past those outer defenses.

Immediately, the ship was attacked by a massive creature that looked like an octopus crossed with a mushroom. They were prepared for gas based attacks however, so the spore cloud it sent to disable them didn’t affect them. However, three were sent to the depths and presumably devoured by the creature.

When they made it to the shores, they were expected to setup a communication center to send the results back to the mainland. They were able to send one message back to home base before it was destroyed.

“Send help.”

Over the last 5 years, Louis Calvin was repeatedly attacked, starved, mutated, and evolved. The poor man was only recently rescued.

Environmental Adaptation - Louis is capable of reacting to changes in the environment almost instantaneously, granting him advantages and abilities to survive in the sort of environment that he finds himself in. This is purely for environmental changes, and is not like reactive adaptation. Examples of what the power could do:

Desert - Locale when in the dry, warm, environment of a desert; gains the advantages of heat resistance, cold emission, ice manipulation, and solar energy absorption.

Space - Locale when in the cold, unliving void of outer space, gains the advantages of interstellar flight, cold immunity, oxygen independence, and high durability.

The Sky - If Locale is forced into the air, Locale gains feather falling, a higher lung capacity, and air solidification/manipulation.

Urban - Urban environments are unique, in that no one city is the exact same. In one city, he might evolve bulletproof skin to avoid the high shooting deaths, whilst in another he might gain an immunity to drugs and alcohol. Powers that ARE consistent with the environment of an urban landscape, are concrete manipulation and electronic signal reading.

All of this is [permission based] and powers/weaknesses gained must be agreed upon by the thread members.

Extreme Measures - The strength of his abilities are directly dependent on the extremity of the environment. The more extreme the environment, the stronger his abilities. However, the less extreme the environment; the weaker his abilities.

Time - While he gains the ability to survive pretty much immediately, any other less necessary adaptations/advantages take time to develop. Secondary mutations, such as those that would be considered a superhuman power, require longer to evolve.

Paranoia - Louis lived on the island for five long years. His mind is constantly on the lookout for threats, to the point that real threats might not come through as easily.

Expert Survivalist - Despite being stuck on the worlds most dangerous chain of islands; Louis was able to locate food, water, and shelter enough to survive for 5 years and even developed a small cave farm for mushrooms to manage his hunger issues.

Stealth and Espionage training - While not among the best in the world, Louis is at least on par with the average Shadow Core member in this regard.

Martial Arts training - Louis is a red belt in kung fu.

Direct Attacks - Louis has no ability to mutate against a direct attack, as his powers are only useful against environmental effects.
