Squad: Squad 12 Squad Position: Second Primary Weapon: Shield, buckler or parma Combat Style: While it's not necessarily what he wants to be doing, Liam most benefits his squad when he's hanging back. It gives him space to see the field, to think, to strategize, to summon his persona and fling all the powerhouse magical spells he's capable of. His priority in a fight is always to minimize the damage his own squad takes, which means that sometimes his (considerable) raw damage potential gets shelved in favor of intercepting an attack meant for a companion, or using the terrain in a particular way to give them an advantage over shadows. Liam understands the basic MMORPG concept of killing fast being the most efficient way to win, but he also knows that in actual combat situations, that's not always realistic.
Make no mistake, Liam is a mage. He knows how to scrap, but he's not built to get whaled on by shadows and his physical blows don't pack the punch of his magical abilities. In close combat, he uses his shield to block hits and reinforce punches, but predominantly relies on kicks to do damage, because his long legs allow him to maintain more distance. He employs techniques from several different martial arts styles including savate (mainly), tae kwon do and muay thai. What he's far more likely to do if he can't use magic is stay back a bit and fling his shield like a frisbee. He's pretty decent at getting the shield to bounce back to him, but it's kind of touch and go. That's right, this asshole is trying to be Captain America. Go ahead and make fun of him for it.
Attribute: Strength Persona:Hahaiah (Angel of Refuge and Shelter) Persona Appearance: Hahaiah manifests as a massive skeletal wolf - or, rather, half-wolf, half-man. Its whole form twisted through with ivy, overgrown with moss and covered in white and pink-tinged cereus blossoms. This foliage is densest on the limbs, shoulders and shanks, where it resembles a wolf's shaggy coat. It is only through the chest and skull that bone is exposed. Inside the chest cavity, bouquets of flowers leave the impression of lungs, a heart and other internal organs.
Hahaiah is strange, beautiful and horrible, green life reclaiming and reanimating death. The stuff of strange dreams, if not nightmares, outright. Despite its unnerving appearance, Hahaiah's movements are kind and playful, more like a faithful puppy companion than the feral werewolf it resembles - lots of zoomies and butt wiggles, I'm not even kidding. When called to do magic, she sprouts new buds across her body and they bloom. This is usually accompanied by a very anime-esque gust of flower petals. Liam finds this all terribly, terribly embarrassing, I promise.
