Appearance

Height:6'1"
Weight:180lbs
Build:Athletic
Eyes:Green
Hair:Short and Messy Brown Hair
Skin Tone:Fair White
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings:N/A
Personal Style: Liam tends to wear darker colours to complement his light skin tone. He has a few more casual t-shirts and jeans, but prefers to look nice if he can, as a result owning a fair few buttoned and polo shirts, nicer trousers and coats. He's not one for being overdressed, but usually aims for 'best dressed'. An average outfit would be a sweater over a buttoned shirt, chinos and leather boots. In colder weather, he'll usually opt for a longer coat and a scarf atop all that. When it comes to more dangerous or 'business-related' endeavours, he'll go for what is easier to wear, usually a pair of hiking boots, a comfortable top and some reasonable trousers, nothing over the top.

Psychology

Industrious * Reserved * Comedic * Stubborn * Inquisitive * Dismissive

Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: Liam has become much more introverted since the Altsoba massacre. Outside from those close to him, such as Aloise, he tends to keep to himself whenever he is able, having a general distrust and disconnection from the vast majority of people both due to his experiences in the massacre, and his role as a prophet. He finds that he is able to get through life easiest by keeping to himself, and can often appear rude in brushing off advances or attempts to connect by those he does not know well.

On the inside however, Liam is still very much the same man he once was. A man with a good sense of humour, a sarcastic undertone, and an inqusitive nature which pushes him to learn the most of what he can in any situation. For those lucky enough to get close enough to Liam, he can be a close friend and confidant, and anyone who manages to see that, will usually have him as a friend for life.

History

First Necromantic Encounter:
While Liam's first encounter with a Necromantic was technically with a Rakshasa masquerading as a good friend of his, Amelia Pilkvist, his first major encounter with one was when he and Aloise Zamora were attacked by zombies during the Rise of the Witnesses. Liam was protected by Aloise and his guardian angel at the time, but at the time gained no particular knowledge or ability himself at dispatching them.

Life Before the Altsoba Massacre:
Born down under in Sydney, Australia, Liam had a fairly rocky upbringing. He was the oldest of four kids, having a brother and two younger sisters. While his mother was a sweet, kind and caring woman, Liam's father was a drunk and abusive, he would hit Liam, his siblings, and his mother fairly regularly. Liam stepped up as he got older, and once when he was in high school broke a bottle across his father's face to protect his father. As Liam got older and stronger, he could defend his family against his father much easier, and his father began to drink and attack them less as a result. Despite this rather terrible relationship with his own father, Liam was always encouraged by his mother and cared for by him, and went on to do rather well in his own academic pursuits.

Liam built his fascination with journalism and the world of news at a young age. Shortly after he had turned thirteen, Liam stayed up throughout the night to follow reporting of the 9/11 attacks, Liam admired the reporters, and their dedication to the events as they happened. Moving on from high school, Liam went to the University of Sydney to study a bachelor of Media and Communications. He did relatively well in his degree, and grew close to a few transfer students from the United States. It was while at the University of Sydney that Liam also developed a love of literature, and a deep interest in public affairs. He got involved with the student press, and before graduating was one of the lead writers at the student newspaper.

Shortly after graduating, Liam chose not to search for work immediately, but following the example of his American friends, looked into studying abroad. Eventually, he settled on studying in the United States, and moved to do his Masters of Journalism at Harvard. Liam continued to involve himself with student reporting, and took up an internship at a few local news channels as he studied. Graduating, Liam had plenty of references and contacts, and was lucky enough to be able to secure a position as a new associate producer at CNN in New York. Shortly after she settled into working at New York, Liam began to head numerous stories regarding the increasing tremors and natural disasters, across the country and the world.

As it became more and more widely known that Altsoba was being considered as where the epicenter of the coming 'apocalypse' would be, CNN wished to send one of their producers to the town to report on things as they happened, and at the very least compile an optimistic message in the event that it was all wrong. Both out of a luts to know more, and to gain some good favor with his higher-ups in the event it was all wrong, Liam volunteered to head to Altsoba where most of the other producers were reluctant. Making his way to Altsoba, he's trying to settle in while learning as much as he can.

Life Since the Altsoba Massacre:
Since the Altsoba Massacre, Liam has spent most of his time travelling alongside Aloise Zamora, learning how to protect himself and what he can from her. Along the way, he has picked up from time to time any and all pieces of the supernatural he's been able to get his hands on which haven't been claimed or snatched up by O.M.E.N, instead selling them off on the black market for a quick buck. He has quickly become disenchanted with the supernatural after the massacre, and has a fair distaste for most of it, except for what aspects of it involve profit for him.

Psychology

Caring * Naive * Trusting * Can't Handle Stress * Great with Children * Self-Doubting

Sexuality: Bisexual, though not certain.
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: Alex is an anxious, awkward, and quiet young man with limitless adoration for children. In college he became the student that sat in the back of the class, bouncing his legs nervously, but he always scored well on tests, well enough that he graduated "high-school" with a 3.2 and maintained a 3.5 in his current classes. When around other adults, he's terrible at forming clear sentences and has a bad habit of rambling uncomfortably until he isn't quite sure what he's talking about, and he's never exactly sure how to act without nervous stuttering and awkward silences. However, in the presence of Children he becomes radiant with joy, able to talk and interact with them perfectly, all with great care and a sense of loving warmth that seems to pulse from him.

In addition, he is very delicate and functions poorly under high-stress, and often becomes a pacing nervous breakdown when under extreme pressure. He's very smart, but has difficulty explaining his thinking to others and often states "Just trust me," rather than struggling to explain his reasoning. Despite his downfalls, Alex is a very compassionate and understanding individual with more Empathy than ten others combined. He's a very good listener and can often simplify things very well, whether personal problems or foreign concepts.

Habits: Rolling quarters over his knuckles and chewing on pen caps.
Hobbies: Baby-Sitting, Jogging, and Sprinting.
Fears: 3 real fears that make your character unhinged (You will be expected to play to these fears. They will be noted by the Gm and used against you ~grins~)

History

First Necromantic Encounter:
On November 19th 2000, Alex's Mother Crystal Aster was killed by her Brother, Abraham.
Alex was a child at the time, just two days from his sixth Birthday. It was a Sunday, and because his Birthday was on a Tuesday that year his Mom and Dad decided to have the 'Family Party' after Church. The Celebration started with Brunch at Alex's favorite restaurant, the Coyote Canyon a buffet that had the best breakfast in the world, according to Alex. The entire kitchen came out to sing him happy birthday, and even the Old Man in the booth behind them joined in. After the staff went back to the kitchen the man in the booth walked around and asked Alex how old he was turning, and Alex happily said "Six! But my birthday isn't until Tuesday." The man said a few other things, complementing the family and such before reaching into his pocket and producing a small wooden horse, he gave it to Alex as a gift, and went on his way.

The rest of the day went by just as pleasantly, Alex gave his new Horse toy to his mother so he wouldn't lose it, and he went through the joyous process of opening gifts, having his favorite type of Birthday Cake, and giving all of his family hugs and Thank you's as they left. He got to stay up a bit later than usual, and went to sleep soundly.

Alex woke up during the night from the sound of someone knocking on the door, and after waiting a moment and not hearing his mom or dad get up, he jumped out of bed and ran to get it. When he opened the door, he saw his favorite uncle Abraham standing there, and jumped to give him a hug. "What are you doing here Uncle Abe?" he asked happily, to which his Uncle responded "I just came by to talk to your Mother, I forgot to ask her something earlier. Is it alright if I come in?" Alex nodded, yawning and rubbing his eyes as his Uncle walked in. His Uncle patted his head and told him to get back to bed, it was too late for him to be up, and Alex obeyed happily, falling asleep before his head even hit the pillow.

About an hour later, Alex woke up to the sound of sirens and lights flashing in his now open window. He walked over to it and closed it, but noticed that on the Windowsill was the carved horse he had been given by the Old Man at brunch, however now it had wet, red fingerprints on it's head.

That day, Alex was interviewed by two Policemen and a Detective, who told him that his Mother had been killed and his Uncle had been arrested. Three months later, Alex was asked to be a witness in Abraham's case, and while he was questioned he couldn't speak over his Uncle's frantic cries of Innocence.

Life Before the Altsoba Massacre:
After his Uncle was found guilty and sentenced with Capital Punishment, Alex's father moved him out to Coventry, a bustling tourist trap in Massachusetts. His Father opened an Antique shop, in which he and Alex lived above. Having been in bed with his wife when she was murdered, he developed Major Depression and turned to Alcohol to cope. Alex's father wasn't a kind drunk, and he beat Alex regularly, but always cried and begged for forgiveness when he sobered up, which became rarer and rarer as time passed. Alex was homeschooled, as his father grew too paranoid for his son to be out of sight for more than an hour, and due to such limited outside interaction, Alex's social skills developed rather poorly.

Shortly after he began attending college classes, his father was hospitalized for alcohol poisoning and liver failure, and after about a week and a half on life support he passed away. Alex was forced to sell the shop to afford his father's small funeral, and with the remaining money he bought a used car and placed a down-payment on an Apartment. He sold the majority of his own possessions to afford rent as he searched for a job, and after being hired at the Local day-care he bought himself a few "home defense" items and other basic necessities.

In the three years following, Alex had been able to build up a small savings due to his frugal spending practices and has been living quite contentedly alone. He'd been doing well enough at his job for long enough that he had been made the assistant manager to an often absent owner, and as such given a generous raise of $7.75 an hour, giving him an annual income of about $31,000 a year, which was more than enough for his meager expenses and spending habits.

Life Since the Altsoba Massacre:
Aside from the slowly growing paranoia and occasional shock of death, Alex's life has remained relatively normal since the massacre in Altsoba. He never read too deeply into the events, as it didn't concern him directly and scared him more than a bit. Aside from the Increase in Tourism to the area, not much has changed for him. He still works the same job, attends the same classes, and visits the same shops he did before the crazy scale of the world jumped to a twelve. The only change he's made is purchasing a baton for his bedroom and a temporary move to the nearest Hotel, a themed one at that, due to the Landowner's Property Renovations.

Eudora Esmeralda Erebus

"Screw the reed, everyone is deserving of a hex!"

║ ☯ Neutral ║ ✿ Friend ║ ❅ BFF ║ ♡ Infatuation ║ ❤ Love ║
║ ❦ Considered Family ║ ☣ Tense ║ ☢ Dislikes ║ ☠ Enemy ║

☯Jade☯
"Honestly, how could you hate the woman you killed the devil with?"

While the only interaction Eudora ever had with Jade was so insanely enlightening and helpful, Eudora feels as if she hasn’t been near the woman enough to really form an opinion of her. Eudora would gladly wave at her from afar, but she would still be wary about ever approaching her even though she doesn’t think negatively of her.

---

✿Mercurial✿
"Just a sweet little misunderstood girl really, I’m sure deep down she loves pink."

While Eudora and Mercurial’s interactions were brief, and one interaction of which involved mass murder, Eudora still has a soft spot for the girl, partly due to her curiosity about the little girl. How did she end up like this? Is she really just pure evil? While Eudora wouldn’t sacrifice anything for her, she would still like to sit down and just talk to the girl.

Other Clues Or Points Of Interest

• At the museum in Coventry, there's something impossible. One of the girls from the circus, Folly, is the daughter of one of the victims. There are photographs of Folly in the museum that date as early as 1920. But Folly was born in the 1990's, and doesn't look any different.

[Nallore]

I'll be PMing you guys for relationship stuff tonight. :)

[Morose]

@hagroden Few changes need to be made:
-Running should go under combat
-Needs a knife skill to be able to use his knife
-Needs a blunt weapons skill for the baton and bat
-Needs a first aid skill under general world
-As far as him being from Coventry...It's not very much of a small quiet town. It's a tourist trap. Bigger than Altsoba, but not as roaring city like Boston. Somewhere in between. I can accept him being from Coventry, but he'll need to be staying at the hotel or at the Circus grounds throughout the RP. Home could be getting fumigated or something. Remodeled. It'll become clear later on why this is needed ;)

[Morose]

@Witch Cat Thank you dear! :) Make sure to replace the color coding for the names in the relation sheets with the color code those characters use.

[Witch Cat]

@MoroseOh, thanks for pointing that out to me! I assumed we used the colour that corresponded to the relationship status.

[hagroden]

@Morose
Changes made, how's he looking now?

[Morose]

@hagroden Looks good! Move him over and get working on relations ^^

[Nallore]

PMs have been sent to everyone just need a reply from @Witch Cat, and @hagrodenill be sending you a PM tonight after I get home from work, and I'll have my two CS's edited for the relationship stuff.

[Morose]

@Nallore@hagroden@Witch Cat@Pundii: IC will be coming up today! I'll be posting Andromeda's relation sheet. As long as you have at least ONE relation written up, you'll be cleared to post.

@BlueSky44: Are you going to bring Marygold in for this or no?

[Nallore]
