Louie Burke

Personality
Gay disaster. Anxious and always overthinking something. Cares a lot for his friends and will do anything to help them, even if it somehow puts him in danger. Has no self preservation really. Will tell everyone to take care of themselves before he takes care of himself. Really intelligent, just lazy at work. Polite and respectful. Tired. Paranoid about hurting anyone, especially his friends, to the extent where he only slightly tops the Buried up with snacks until something makes him. Likes shitty romance and Shakespeare. Gives good hugs, canonically.

Backstory
Louie takes his name from a French man his grandfather served with in WWI and who he was partially buried alive with. Louie's grandfather was touched by the Buried and was supposed to be claimed by it until the Slaughter took over, allowing his grandfather to survive. The French man didn't, which is why Louie bears his name. This is also why he is claimed by the Buried, which is angry the slaughter took his grandfather. Louie suffers from anxiety attacks and feels the Buried call to him when he has these attacks. The Buried got bored of waiting for him so it claimed his best friend/crush to provoke him. Louie was distraught and got into an argument with his older brother, who tried to tell him to move in. Out of grief and anger, Louie lashed out and tapped into the Buried, somehow killing his older brother. He fled and joined the Institute to find some way to get the Buried out of his head.
