Personality:

Liam lives his life by the maxim "You'd better look out for yourself in this world, because no one else is going to do it for you." Despite the fact that he's good-looking and fancies himself the kind of guy that people should find irresistible, he's not. He ranges from creepy to overbearing to intolerably obnoxious. No one told this guy that muscles and good hair do not necessarily equate to charm. 

He is insultingly chauvinistic and politically incorrect. While he'll watch his language for the younger kids in the RP, he's that guy who says the things you're never supposed to say. Despite wanting to be perceived as the hyper-alpha male in all situations, he's threatened when someone bigger or badder steps up to challenge him. 

Liam doesn't believe that most people have what it takes to outsmart him. He's a little short-sighted because, the truth is, he's not particularly smart. 

When it comes to women, he only wants what he can't have. There have long been rumors and snickers about his sexuality because he seems far more comfortable with other guys than with women, and a guy who looks like he does should not be struggling with the ladies. 

Still, he does. He views all people, male or female, as trophies and conquests rather than people. He actually does prefer women, but he has very little respect for them. Women who are strong, smart, and attractive appeal to him, but only so he can put them in their place. The problem with the world today is that women forget how to take care of their men, and men forget how to behave like men.

Of course, he's not just blatantly sexist. He doesn't have much respect for other humans, period. It makes it easier to lie, steal, and manipulate when you remove the human from humanity. That's precisely what Liam does. 

Liam also drinks, smokes. and looks like a poster for 'roid rage. 

The sad part is, Liam doesn't mean to be the bad guy. He never signed up to be a villain. He can't understand why the world doesn't love him, and he hates everyone for it. He's just out for his own, like everyone else. Why should he be the one judged so harshly when he has so much to offer?

Alliance: 

Neutral, or more specifically, Chaotic Neutral

Skills/Powers: 

Skilled in hand-to-hand and melee combat. Liam is strong. He doesn't need a weapon to do damage, but if he gets a pipe or a bat in his hand, he's more deadly than a guy with a gun. Mentally, however, he's weak. If magical abilities did exist, he could more than likely be defeated by someone clever. 

Weapons: 

Yes. He's usually armed with a concealed gun, a .40, but guns are messy and he doesn't need one to do damage. His strongest weapons are his fists and anything within range designed to hit other humans. Some say he can snap a neck in a second. 

Cursed Life Information: 

Liam is a street thug, an enforcer. He'd like to put a glamorous spin on it, but Liam found himself without a father and a family to look after at a very early age. Despite his blatant chauvinism, he believes men should protect women and their honor at any costs, particularly when it comes to family. 

He was taken in by the Beast and her crew, who taught him some refinement, manners, and a smarter way to pursue a life of crime without getting caught. He's developed feelings for the Beast, mostly because she is so strong and physically undesirable that it's hard to see her as a woman. All her weaknesses and fragility are hidden, which he appreciates. At the same time, she's not threatening or overpowering like men who challenge him, and is kind of a nurturing figure in his life. 

He'd like to marry her, but he's pretty sure she'd kick his ass and then kill him if he ever made this known. Once again, he only wants the ones he can't have. 

Liam can be counted on to take down the bad guys and rescue the damsels in distress. The part the storybooks left out is when the hero asks, "Now, what's in it for me?" 

He knows nothing in life is free and no good deed goes unpunished. He doesn't believe guys like him get a happily ever after, so he's determined to enjoy the now before something takes him down in a blaze of glory.
