Name: Liam Botwright
Age: 28
Place of Birth: Modesto, California

Family: Mother – Jennifer Botwright, Father – Never met
Occupation: Police Officer

Personality: 
Liam is a bit of an anomaly for your average beat cop, usually being found with a smile on his face and always with a kind word for those around him. He just oozes compassion and empathy, two traits rarely seen once a cop has spent time on patrol and seen people at their worst on a constant basis. Somehow, through the thankless work and mentally taxing work, Liam retains a youthful and charismatic charm. This often leads him to be the butt of many jokes from others within the force, though it doesn't seem to bother him and he usually is one of the first to laugh.

However, there is another side to this seemingly well mannered and joyful young man, for when the situation calls for focus and grit, look no further than Officer Botwright. His time in the Marines is the answer to this, as his forays in combat and the day to day stressors of military life gifted him with the ability to focus and adopt a no nonsense attitude when shit hit the fan.

History:
 Liam grew up with his single mother in the Central Valley of California, Modesto to be exact. He never had much, but what he did have was always more than enough, as even at a young age he could see how much his mother did for him and made sure to always try and make her happy. This feeling of needing to make his mother happy grew and blossomed as time went on, until he enlisted in the Marines after graduating high school. He passed BMT with top marks, earning him a cozy little spot near the front lines, which he of course lied about it to his mother, as he didn't want her to worry more about him more than she already was. He definitely didn't tell her about the insurgents he had killed, nor would he explain the torrent of emotions he felt over the incident to the company doctor.

That experience would lead to him along the path of the rest of his life. Once he came to terms with what he did, not by accepting it as something he had to do, but that by doing so he helped to make the neighborhoods he patrolled safer. He began to think of all the stories back home in Modesto, of police shooting first and acting without remorse. He knew he could be better, he knew that he could make a difference, and hopefully he could help prevent the need for such force. He knew he could do something.

Four years seemed to whisk by, as he found himself back home after being honorably discharged from the Marines. Though his mother protested at first, Liam quickly enrolled in the Police Academy, being on the fast track due to his military experience. In a year he was a full fledged beat cop in Modesto and after a couple years serving there, he discovered he was being transferred to Justice, California. Of course he knew of it's reputation, as well as the new requirement of his mother to call her every day to make sure he was okay, but this didn't stop him from finally feeling as if his opportunity to really do some good had finally shown itself.

Hello all, Katelyn asked me to give this a shot, so here I am! *kicks back a shot of Jim Bean*

Hopefully this CS is alright, though the History portion might be a bit convoluted. Hard to write completely coherently at 5 in the morning, haha. I'm off to bed, any changes or refinements needed I will jump right on when I wake up.
