Personality
Enthusiastic! Also, energetic, highly open-minded, and easily lured off a train of thought by a new idea. Thoughtful and analytical; has a touch of wisdom that belies his apparent age.
Powers and Abilities
Super-science gadgetry, genius-level intelligence, naturally sunny disposition. Is immortal; regenerates from anything up to and including being rendered down to atoms, and is permanently fixed at the age of ten.
Appearance
Prepubescent Asian/Caucasian mixed-race male. Short brown hair; spiky, but more in a ten-year-old way than an anime way. Black eyes.
Wears a black T-shirt and black jeans, streaked with red and blue speed lines radiating from his chest, and a purple domino mask.
Carries around a backpack stuffed to bursting with random this and that. Keeps extra costumes in it, because his clothes don't regenerate (other than his poly-Awesomenium-weave boxers).
History
Kid Enthusiastic's early history is largely unrevealed. It's known that his parents were members of The Network, retiring around the time he was born; that he gained his powers at the age of ten, and that his father died about the same time; and that his path to net.heroing was rocky, but that he overcame it and came to see his immortality, not as a curse, but as an opportunity to be awesome.
Before The Killfile, he was a wandering, freelance net.hero. He created Tori sometime in the '80s, and often worked with Professor Penumbra, back when he was Adam Polcein, post-pulp adventurer. During The Killfile, he did much the same; as his powers and scientific prowess were unaffected by it, he was one of the few who could take care of the subtle weirdness that remained in the world.
At some point, he joined Pla.net.ary Investigations. He discovered the LNHQ along with them, and became one of the founders of the modern LNH!
He's been experimenting more with Kirbytech since he began studying the God Clock.
Relationships
Terra Tinkerer and Knight Genesis are his parents. Tori is often considered his child. Emme is his complicated ex.
