liam's dad would have been a widower for about 25 years before he moved to los angeles to live closer to his younger brother. he would have met her mom, fell for her instantly, and i'm thinking the two would have married the same year they met. liam moved to los angeles for real in 2017, so his dad and her stepmom would have met and married around them. he is really really close to his father and would likely have warmed right up to her mom because he could see how happy she makes his father. liam personality-wise comes off very “captain serious” and reserved at first. that isn’t to say he is dull, because he is perfectly polite and carries a conversation well, but he doesn't usually reveal too much about himself other than name, occupation, and them some small talk. he deflects a lot to learn more about the other person. he joined the army straight out of high school, was honorably discharged in 2015. he doesn't really talk about his experience in the military other than a silly story here or there. his father is really proud and sometimes causes unnecessary awkward moments for liam when he draws attention to it. once he's warmed up to you it is clear that he is actually a really laid back, sometimes goofy. he doesn’t take things personally. he has a job that requires a lot of travel, but he always tries to make it in for the big family events. he is a loyal, good friend and will stick his neck out for you. he loves games, console video games and tabletop games. he hosts a D&D game for kids under 12 when he has the free time to commit to it and will get very animated if you ask him about it.
