[rs=2] | S T R E N G T H S +Hand-to-Hand Combat: Watchers are proficient in hand-to-hand combat of all kinds. He has studied ti quan do, kung fu, ishin ryu, ju jitsu, and whatever else the Watcher's Council drilled into his head. +Firearms: Every watcher has his or her own weapon that they find easiest to use. Although Liam is willing to use just about anything, he is best at firearms. He has great precision when firing which makes them the best weapons for him to use. Although the fighting and the weapons are both for the slayer, the watcher needs to know these things as well to better aid the slayer in his/her destiny. +Responsible: Liam is responsible because he has to be. There are duties that need to be followed as a watcher that he just cannot get away from. There is part of him that wants certain things, but he knows he will never have them because of the cards he was dealt. But Liam cares more about upholding his family's reputation as high ranked watchers than destroying what they have over a love interest or letting emotions get in the way of things. +Protective: Liam is very protective over his family. He is a watcher. Slayers aren't the only individuals being killed by the forces of darkness. Demons and creatures of the night want to kill watchers just as much as they want to kill slayers. Hence the reason he is so protective over his family and the people he loves or is close to. +Intelligent: Just because he was raised as a watcher, that did not mean at all that he couldn't attend regular classes as well. He was always at the top of his class throughout grade school and high school. He went to a very well known university for microbiology always finding the micro organisms very interesting, but after he received his bachelors, his father made him go back and do an administration degree as most of the potential slayers became actual slayers in their late teens or mid twenties. All the job opportunities presented to administration graduates could make his access to his specific slayer much easier. +Sarcastic and humorous: This could be a good thing if you have a good sense of humor. Liam tends to use this quite a lot without even knowing it any more. He cracks jokes more often with his brother than anyone else, but normally people either laugh or roll their eyes. One of the two which either way, Liam gets the attention he likes. W E A K N E S S E S +Cocky: Liam is very confident in himself and the things that he does. This is mainly because he has always exceeded his own expectations and the expectations everyone else has set for him. Staying in this mind set, an individual becomes accustomed to it which is not good especially when you go into a job that you are ill prepared for thinking that you are invincible and can't handle anything. With these two slayers? He is in for a rude awakening. +Dominant Personality: Liam doesn't play well with others. It is literally impossible for him to not want to take control of a situation and completely disregard anything that the person he is working with has to say. Liam is the type to go with the saying 'it is either my way...or....well there is just my way'. His way is the right way and no one else's opinions matter because he knows best. +Close-Minded: When it comes to the gray areas of the evil spectrum, to Liam there are no gray areas. You are either evil or not evil. You are either a demon or you are not. There is absolutely no middle or neutral ground. Because he feels this way, he doesn’t believe that there could be a ‘good’ demon or a ‘redeemed’ demon. It makes absolutely no sense to him. This is how he was brought up. As a watcher, you must teach your slayers this concept. You can't have a slayer turning evil or possibly being manipulated! +The Connection: Liam has a very difficult time connecting with people. His brother is an exception because HELLO LIVED WITH HIM FOREVER! But as far as relationships of any kind, it is hard for Liam to let people in because he doesn't want them to get hurt. His life is very unpredictable. No one knows what can happent to a watcher and his or her slayer. Bringing someone else into it could be a danger to the watcher as well as the slayer. Because of this, he is very withdrawn from people meaning that his interactions with his slayers are going to be....interesting. +Impatient: As a watcher, Liam must be patient with his slayer; however, Liam is the furthest thing from patient. When he was in his classes back in college, the worst thing ever would be people who raised their hands asking the instructor to explain yet again what he had already explained 10 times. With his slayers, it will most likely be the same way. He will have to refrain from yelling at them to just understand already! +His Brother: Liam promised his dad that he would take care of Holden when Holden decided to come and live with him. So far, he has kept that promise. Liam would do anything for his brother which could be a problem especially with two slayers to look after. In a heartbeat, he would drop everything to save or protect his brother. He'd even let his slayers die just for him to live. L I K E S +Laughing: Believe it or not, Liam isn’t all rough around the edges. He can be quite fun and sarcastic which makes other people laugh and in turn makes him laugh. Laughing is what keeps him sane. +Rock Music: Liam has to be listening to music when he does things, rock specifically. It actually enhances his skill whatever it may be at that moment. Chances are when he trains his slayers, he will be blaring some Alice in Chains or Led Zeppelin. +Sports: Liam loves sports either playing or watching them. It is something to do in his down time, and he enjoys trying to get Holden to play with him. +Drinking: To Liam, alcohol is the best thing ever created. Aside from laughing, drinking really helps soothe the stresses in his life which will probably soon include the slayers. But he does drink a bit too much. In some ways, he feels that it is his only way to release. Everything else for him is strict and by the book. Most of the time, he drinks by himself, but he isn't against handing Holden a beer or whatnot. +Pretty Girls: Liam is a bit on the older side. Twenty-eight actually, and he never really had a problem sleeping around with women. If he met you, you were hot, and he wasn't busy, he would have no problem having a bit of fun and then making himself scarce before you woke up in the morning. The problem is when he actually cares about you that he becomes withdrawn. The forces of darkness don't want to hurt your hos. They want to hurt the people who mean the most to you. D I S L I K E S +Caffeine: Coffee or caffeine of any kind has always made Liam jittery, so he tends to stay far away from it. No soda pop, no coffee, no energy drinks. He will just stick with his homemade non caffeinated tea. +People Mentioning his Accent: The worst thing about being British is dealing with the numerous women and other people he has to interact with bringing up how "adorable" or "sexy" his accent is. It was pretty nice after hearing it like five times. But it definitely got irritating after a while. So, if you mention his accent, he will either walk away or role his eyes. Be warned. +Feeling at Times the Weight of his Responsibilities: Liam knows his responsibilities, but sometimes he just wants to get out. He has contemplated it thousands of times, but he can't bring himself to fail his father or his brother. +Failing: Because of his family's reputation, he has a fear of failing his father or not meeting up to the expectations that he has for Liam. Not only that, Holden looks up to Liam. That would be one of the worst things ever is letting the one person he has been closest to forever down. +Kids: Liam dislikes kids quite a lot. They are annoying to him, and when he is around them, he cringes because they are so loud and obnoxious. H I S T O R Y Liam Keller was born in London, England on February 2nd 1984 to Gracie and Richard Keller. Richard was a very reputable watcher who felt it was important to start teaching his son the ways of the real world very soon on. He grew up believing that his father could do no wrong. Richard Keller was perfect in Liam's eyes. Hence the very early on notion to follow in his footsteps, look up to him, and be what he wanted Liam to be. Liam worked hard to do what was told of him. His father wasn't all for the school system at the Watcher's Council, so he allowed Liam to go to regular school as well with people non supernatural oriented. It was hard knowing what he knew without saying things though. And when he got to high school, he started spending more and more time with his father at the Council. His training began very early. It was a strict schedule. Get up, go to school, go home, do homework, come to council, train in weaponry and hand-to-hand, go home, go to bed. Same 'ol same 'ol every single day. It all seems rather boring, but Liam found ways to have fun. His family was very close to the Vatican family, and Liam spent quite a lot of time hanging with their daughter Anastasia. Liam always found her to be interesting and a ball full of fun to be around. The difference between the Vatican family and the Keller family? There really was no difference. Liam and Anastasia were brought up the same. Strict schedules and doing what you're told. That was probably why they got along so well. They both knew their duties but deep down wanted so much to break away from that. Liam and his adoptive brother Holden got along very well growing up. They were twelve years apart when Holden was brought into the family when he was a baby. The one thing that Richard Keller would always say to Liam was that it didn't matter where Holden was really from, he was a part of this family therefore, it was Liam's responsibility to take care of him. Holden seemed to connect more with Liam more than their father which was fine. Liam had no problem spending time with Holden. He actually showed him the ropes a lot more than Richard did that was just because Richard had a slayer of his own to take care of. By the time Liam graduated high school, Richard Keller wanted him to move to the United States to go to college because he would have better access of the slayers there when they were called. It became all too real to Liam at this point. His destiny was truly to become a watcher just like his father. Liam packed his bags and before he left said goodbye to Anastasia, his closest friend, and his family. The farewell with Anastasia was a lot harder than Liam had anticipated. He knew it would be hard, but there was definitly a feeling different than anything he'd felt before with her. He had actually almost kissed her. And the worst thing about it was that those feelings were just now coming forward right as he was leaving. There was nothing he could really do. It was his father's wishes and the Council's wishes. Liam left his family and his friends including Anastasia behind to fulfill the destiny that his father set up for him in Rochester, Wyoming....the United States. Moving there on his own was definitely a shock. He was thrust into a life of living on his own rather quickly. Although he was given certain expenses by his father to do this, his father thought it important to learn to be on his own and deal with things on his own. His father also told him to prepare himself. So Liam did what he thought preparing himself was. He did whatever the hell he wanted to do! Instead of going to school for Administration which his father wanted him to do, Liam went to a very nice University in Wyoming for Microbiology. It was way more interesting than the boring Administration work. This was the only time Liam actually defied his father's orders. And once Liam got his bachelor's and his father found out, Richard Keller forced him to go back for Administration. It was the only field that catered to all the potential slayers in some way. By then, Holden wanted more than anything to get away from the family. There were a lot of problems back home with Holden. Holden begged Liam to let him come live with him in Rochester, Wyoming. Liam was all for it. He missed his brother although the affection for him was something Liam tried very hard not to show. He allowed Holden to come live with him which aggravated Richard Keller especially because in his eyes Liam was now a bad influence. But Richard let Holden go and live with him. It has been two years since Liam let his brother come live with him in Rochester, Wyoming. Since then, Liam has gotten his Administration degree and has been given the okay to work at any high school or university as an academic counselor. Right on schedule to. Liam recently received a call from his father that he has finally been chosen to be the watcher in Midnight Harbour, California. Piece of cake right? Liam is very confident in his skills like always, but he has no idea what he is getting into, and his inexperience in the actual field work of this situation may be his downfall. What he doesn't know is that he isn't just going to have to deal with one slayer, but he is going to have to deal with two. ___________________________________________ "Oh, Mr. Keller, how nice to finally meet you!" The pudgy secretary of Principal Leman's office enthusiastically chimed once Liam introduced himself. At this point, he wished he had just moved right past her and headed to the principal's office. Either one of them could have showed him where his office would be, but this lady was already irritating to him. She giggled pushing up her very bulky black rimmed glasses onto the top of her nose. As her giggle ended with a very loud snort, Liam couldn't help but snicker averting his attention away from her not to be rude. She really didn't seem to mind as she continued to babble. "You are going to love your stay here at Midnight Harbour. The town is very nice and problem free. People are very welcoming....in just about every single way." The woman raised her eyebrows and licked her lips simultaneously, and Liam wanted to hurl. In a very rough English accent, he was finally able to get a word in edgewise. Ace! I'll definitely keep that in mind." He gave her a smile, and it seemed like she had fallen apart right there. "Oh, Ace is it?" She giggled again. "How I love a man with an accent especially British. It just has a nice ring to it that i love to hear." Liam nodded with annoyance. That was one of his pet peeves. He vaguely remembered the times he and Ana would be hanging out in London and tourists would ask for directions. The first thing they would always comment on was his accent and how sexy it was apparently. After they'd walk away she'd crack a joke here and a joke there, and they'd go at it for a bit back and forth with a few playful nudges. That was about the only thing about the whole situation he enjoyed. Why were women so fascinated with accents? He couldn't understand it for the life of him. And this woman was just not happening. "Hmm, i'm sure Phil Collins would have no problem serenading you then. Now if you would excuse me, Principal Leman?" Liam pointed to the left and then to the right raising his eyebrows hoping that she would take the hint and just point him in the right direction. He wasn't sure he could take anymore of her banter. She cleared her throat. She obviously was getting the hint or at least understanding that he was no where near interested. "I'm sure you wont be seeing me." He said with a smile before quickly turning and walking away. That was precisely what happened when you were nice to people. They would grab onto that shred of hope and roll with it. |
