Ach má tá mise sásta mo chónaí i gcró
Ó caide sin don té sin nach mbaineann sin dó?


PERSONALITY

Easily the calmest of his siblings, Liam doesn't get riled up that easily. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have a temper. He tends to lose the hold of himself completely when he lets anger take over. His siblings are wary of his episodes of blind rage because there's little that will calm him down once he gets going.

He's ambitious, calculative and assertive most of the time. He doesn't like conflicts and tries to avoid them to the point of just walking out rather than having any arguments.

He tends to ride on the high horse of morality a lot and has a lot more lawful idea of life than his family in general.


ABOUT

Liam is of Irish heritage, a lawyer living in London. He's the youngest of a series of four siblings from a traveller family. The only one who managed to get a higher education for himself.

APPEARANCE

Tall, wiry, he's a bit of an anomaly in his family of tall and broad shouldered boxer types. He's definitely frailer than his brothers but has the rest of the family features of dark with a hint of ginger hair, freckled skin and blue eyes.

He smiles a lot and tends to be the most sociable of his siblings. But also the quietest of them when it comes to arguments and confrontations.

He also has the family trait of bearing a bunch of scars and broken fingers and bones. You can see his rough childhood written on him.


ABILITIES

Well educated and read, he's the anomaly in his family with this as well. He speaks a small army of languages on top of his English and traveller Cant, boasts a university degree and has a license to practice law. (I play him either just about to graduate or just having graduated.)

He can fight but he's not very good at it. He's participated in a lot of thievery and lawless activities, so he knows how this is handled and he has streetwise up to his arse, but he tries his best to keep it straight and narrow.

He has a dormant magical ability. But he avoids ever using it. It sometimes surfaces as premonitions or dreams that give him suggestions about the future. But he tends to avoid ever mentioning this aloud.


BACKGROUND

Born into the traveller community, Liam was brought up with the remnants of the culture of his forefathers. While times got harder, so did the travellers. As their way of living was mostly outlawed at the start of the millennium, parts of the community turned completely to the life of crime. He was brought up to thinking that conflicts were dealt with fists and bread earned by thieving. He learned guns and fighting from a young age, not only because his community being hated and feared wherever they went but also because of the demonic influence that boomed in Ireland.

His community was one of the last to leave Ireland as the plagues and demons took over cities and towns. Now Ireland is a wasteland.

The way of life as a traveller has pretty much disappeared as the roads have become less and less safe along the years. His family settled into the outskirts of London. Liam has been going to school whenever he has had the opportunity and resumed law school when they settled into London. He still lives in a trailer right next to their parents with his older brother because he's worried about their ma, who isn't doing very well. But it's becoming harder and harder to get work and deal with his profession while he keeps insisting on staying in the community.
