Liam was born in San Diego as an only child. His childhood was pretty typical, though he’d begun martial arts at a young age, and later learned he had a love and passion for dance. As he got older, he competed competitively, and practiced often. During high school, he struggled with his sexuality. Paranoid about what might happen after he came out, he waited until he was eighteen. At that age, he switched his bank account, that contained monetary winnings, as well as gifted monies and his paychecks from working part-time, to a bank account his parents couldn’t access.
His next step was to secure his important paperwork from his parents, citing he’d need them when he went to university. When he learned he’d been accepted to some colleges, he packed what he could, loading them into his car. It was only after this was all done that he told his parents he was gay. They promptly shut the door on the relationship, and left him to his own means.
While saddened, he also felt free, and pursued university, though ultimately didn’t make it beyond a bachelor’s degree. While attending, however, he fell in love and got engaged, though it was broken off a year after obtaining his degree, when he learned that his fiancé had been cheating off and on throughout the relationship.
Since leaving university, he’s been competing, and picked up a job teaching at a dojo, eventually being able to open his own after some effort and a bank loan. While the school has not been around for more than a few years, it is doing very well, and he takes pride in the effort the students put in, and is especially patient with the children.

She’d first noticed Liam at a club, when she became entranced with the way he moved on the dance floor. She was entranced, and spent a year studying him, falling in love with just the way he moved when he danced or competed or taught. There was just something about him… so after a year of stalking him, she sought permission to turn him, and has kept him close to her since, trying to cultivate him into a greater version of himself, and advocate that he practice his art to perfection.
