Louis is an ambivert, whether or not he prefers to spend time with people or spending time alone may depend on the situation. Usually when he feels like spending time with or around people is when he is attending sports events, going to a bar or gambling boat, and when going to see live shows in the area, showing his playful side, but he may opt to go alone in some cases. When he prefers to spend time alone, he may be working or working on an art or music project. This is mostly in part to his independent and stubborn personality. He doesn’t like help when he is at work and prefers to work alone, he may only accept feedback when he asks for it.
Although Louis is a quick learner and he adapts well to new things, his stubborn nature can prevent him from adapting to new things quickly, as he may prefer to do things or think in a way that is outdated. For example, he may still use technology that is obsolete for everyday use, as a landline telephone for personal use in the present day, with cellular devices as the new norm or a typewriter after computers became the new standard. Once he gets past his initial unyielding mindset to adapt to new things, he adjusts well. However, he is very slowly moving away from this stubbornness and is growing more curiosity towards modern and future technology and mindsets.
Louis presently works as a self-employed architect, using his experience as a former construction worker and his creative mind to excel in his field. Before he worked in architecture, at his first job, he worked as a steamboat engineer in the early 1870s to the late 1900s.

He’s still knowledgeable in his previous professions.
Along with being an architect, Louis is also a jazz musician and artist on the side. He plays the saxophone, trumpet, and piano, and he’s been a musician since the early 1900s. His preferred art mediums are pencils and paint, occasionally dabbling in sculpture. He had always enjoyed art, but he began doing art professionally in the mid-70s.
