**Liam** is a character in Reflection. He is played by Brin. Originally hailing from Cialla, Liam has joined FLOW as a member of the organization's third Wave.

## Appearance and Personality

### Appearance

Liam is a massive, hulking figure with a roughly humanoid body type. His head is roughly in a teardrop shape, with the tip splitting into two smaller, curved points at his chin. He has three glowing blue eyes and a large mouth full of sharp teeth that glow the same color. The top of his head splits off into a series of tentacles. Liam is often seen wearing a bright blue jacket above a gray shirt, with a variety of patches and pins on it. He possesses a set of third and fourth arms that are much smaller than his main limbs.

### Personality

Despite his initial appearance, Liam is an incredibly friendly and jovial person. He enjoys physical exercise and fighting. He is somewhat impulsive and will often make rash decisions when he finds himself in an entertaining situation. He is quite religious and believes in a variety of the God of Humanity's teachings, including seeing Ridill Arondite as the "messiah" of Cialla as well as the conception that all living things are "brothers in Flame". Due to the nature of his Reflection, he experiences certain self image issues, but often keeps them suppressed.

## History

### Early Life

Liam was born in Cialla, where he lived most of his life. In his early adulthood, he was a trucker and roadie for an unknown band. At some point, he became good friends with Helena. The pair eventually encountered OPIA in the months following the Court of Death's attack on Fuse City. They both agreed to join the organization as FLOW members. Upon joining, he bound to the Reflection "Strange Stranger", which granted him his new monstrous form, although due to that Reflection's ability, he didn't realize this transformation had taken place until he spoke to somebody who wasn't Helena.

### Joining FLOW

Liam joined FLOW as a member of the Gate of Gravity alongside Helena. He was immediately on board with the Gate's goal of outperforming the other Gates through pranks. After the group split up, he ambushed Saru and Willow Wisp by jumping off a balcony and slamming into the earth. He then got into a fight with Genesis Aeon, who wanted to join in on the bloodsport. After the fighting calmed down, he joined Gene and several other FLOW agents at Darkside. Later that night, he joined his Gate to resist a large-scale Demonic invasion of Fuse City. During the fight, he threw Ruth Galatine at a massive Demon to pull off a combo attack. He then attempted to rush the same Demon himself, but was turned around by Mic after the Demon began trying to initiate a Coda dive. He then assisted Robin in killing some Demons. After the battle, he was tasked with gathering the corpses of Demons and piling them up. While doing this, he was approached by Solace, who communed with his Reflection and informed him that it was impressed with him. Later, he offered himself as a possible roomate for Ace Galatine.

Several days later, Liam participated in a VR simulation with the rest of the Gate of Gravity to train for the upcoming global offensive. During his turn on the simulation, Liam tended to approach every simulated combat scenario by mindlessly rushing towards the enemy no matter the specifics of the scenario. This led to Arg0s failing him on training, but he allowed him to still go to Cialla as long as he remained with Helena as his field partner. Liam was then deployed to Cialla in a truck with Basilisk Id, Treble, Ruth, and Willow. While stopped at a gas station, he reunited with a friend working there who he knew from his days as a trucker. After Cialla was attacked by the Court of Compulsion, Liam helped Helena and Danger find cars to take back to Fuse City. He then joined Charybdis and Justice in fighting back against a large group of Compulsion Demons on a Ciallan road. After the end of the battle, he returned to Fuse City to speak to Helena's parents alongside Pixie. He then accompanied Pixie as she journeyed to the Eternal City at Ridill's request. While stopping at a rest stop in Cialla, he spied on Arg0s and Basil as they had a "date" at the same rest stop.

## Abilities

Liam is incredibly physically strong. He is also quite durable, able to survive falls from high distances that would severely injure or kill a normal human.

### Reflection

Liam's Reflection is "Strange Stranger". This Reflection causes the user to be observed by other people to be a monster, as well as possessing the abilities of such a monster. However, neither the user or people very close to them see themself as such.
