FetzenLiam "Grim" Carter
“The only thing a man truly fears is a creature who can adapt to any circumstance.”
Name: Liam Carter
Nickname: Grim
Age: 25
Appearance: Liam stands at 5'10, with medium, black, hair. He is rarely seen without his helmet though, only taking it off when drinking or when among the gang.
Personality: Most of the time one underlying thing can be seen from anyone talking to him… indifference. No matter how many times one tries to talk to him, Liam always talks with a level of indifference that throws most people off, with some even going so far as to call him a machine, deriving no other emotion for anything except killing.
However almost all the runner’s are aware that that indifference is only for those who he doesn’t trust. When surrounded by people he thinks he can trust Liam is lighthearted, soft and kind. Although most people arent able to see past his sarcastic humor, so they assume he is usually pissed off.
Background:
Liam grew up receiving the shorter end of the stick most of his life. Growing up poor with an abusive Father and Mother, Liam spent most of his time on the streets where he began doing small jobs for any members of the mafia who were looking for runners or scouts. Slowly but surely as the years progressed Liam began doing more and more jobs for them and found he had a knack for it, especially jobs that required planning and stealth.
By the time the incident occurred, Liam had become a full blown mercenary. Moving from place to place, doing anything that would pay. From being a Hit man to a bodyguard. Liam was on the other side of the planet when the tragedy struck. While most people mourned for their losses Liam felt little sympathy for the life he had left behind. Instead he looked towards the future. As the government fell the need for mercenaries skyrocketed. And people like Liam were in high demand. And for awhile it was good. Liam's skills did not go to waste. Until one day...
It was a bad job from the start. Something smelled off about the whole thing. Yet Liam did it anyway. He, along with a few other mercs, were supposed to grab a supply drop left by a "neighboring settlement". Feeling pity for the people that begged him to retrieve it, Liam accepted the job and followed the rest of the mercs. What it actually was was a Raider ambush for Liam. Apparently he had pissed off some Mafia hotshot because of a botched job and now wanted him dead.
Liam and his group never knew what hit them. The fight lasted days. with Liam running into an abandoned cityscape, playing cat and mouse with the 25 raiders sent to kill him. Finally After 3 days Liam had thought he had finished them all... before he was aptly shot twice. leaving Him badly injured. To this day Liam does not know how he exactly survived the ordeal, but he knows that had he not been picked up by a group of mercenaries known as the Devil's Runner's, he would have been decaying in the sand along with the rest of those raiders.
After fully recovering, and realizing who exactly saved them, Liam asked if he could be part of their group. After some convincing, he was let in and rest was history.
Pros:
Stealth- over the years, Liam has prided himself on being sneaky, more so than others. Be it in a crowd of hundreds or a small room of ten, Liam can hide almost anywhere.
Tactician- Liam has always had a knack for strategy, for studying his opponent and exploring every angle of a situation before making a decision. He is well known for his ability to strategize on the fly and dispatch his target as quickly and as efficiently as possible.
Combat- Being one to always adapt to his situation, Liam has learned that he excels in short to medium ranged combat. As brutal and quick as he is, Liam is practically useless against someone too far away for his pistol and sword.
Quirks:
Asshole- Liam has been known to come off as a bit of an asshole to those who dont know him (Which means most people) and this has been the cause of many a fight.
Ruthless- Like most mercenaries, Liam's first loyalty is to the completion of the job. If it comes to it and he sees no other option, Liam has and will sacrifice innocents lives for the mission. While this rarely happens there have been cases where he has killed civilians for "The greater good" as he puts it.
Claustrophobic: Liam has a deep hatred of small places. The mere thought of really small places scares the living shit out of him.
Habits:
Reading- Liam has a obsession with reading fiction and you will find most of his free time will be spent reading a book or two.
Pessimistic- Liam is very much a glass half full type of guy (Which is how he earned the nickname grim).
Drinking- Liam is an avid drinker and if is no reading a book, can be found in a pub drinking.
Equipment:
Gas Mask/ Helmet.
Known as "Grimace", Liam found this blade while raiding an old Kingpin's House. It is extremely durable and agile, allowing Liam to kill his target as quickly as possible.
Armour- Liam found his armour, aswell as his helmet and Sabre in a Kingpin's old Mansion.
Two Plasma Pistols Liam Looted off the body of a Hitman, These things are close to Liam's heart, and they almost never leave his side.
Relationships:
Ashur:
"Loki is....different. She has that look about her when the fight begins. She relishes in the combat... abit too much for my taste. But besides that she's a hell of a leader, and underneath it all I think I am starting to see a soft spot for the group.
Klaus:
"Klaus is good people. We dont really talk alot when we hang out, but to be honest I dont think we have to. Outside of that he's also one hell of a shot with that bow and arrow. I enjoy his company and like to her his crazy, out there, ideas. Good person to be around, whether in or out of combat.
Rue:
"Newt is a wee shit. Mischievous at the best and outright annoying at worst. Very childish humor. Too childish. Dependable when the time comes."
Sidney:
"Ugh... Cornell. Where can I even begin with that woman. Its not that I hate her its just... I am two very different people. I am Liam, the Man who likes drinking and reading, and I am Grim, a ruthless merc who is all for stealth and tactics. Now Liam, he doesnt mind Cornell. A tad bit too loud for his taste but he can deal with that. But Grim? Grim... disagrees with her choice of tactics (or lack thereof.). Although by now I have gotten used to it so its not that much of a deal its just... an unnecessary frustration at times.
Kian:
"I think I have abit of a soft spot for the man. I love his taste in books and we could both go on for hours talking about our books. He seems soo...young. Hes the optimist in the group definitely. His optimism and sometimes naivety threw me at first but now... He's the person I wished I could've been I think somewhere deep down. Sure we may clash at times because of our views but I doubt that will ever change our perspectives of each other.
Russel:
"Ahh the doc... Bit of a shit in my opinion, though I dont mean that in a bad way. The Bastard is good with a needle I'll give him that. Although there has been one or two times when he botched a stitching but eh for the most part he's solid. I find he tends to zone out...alot. But besides that we get along quite well.
Vadri:
"I dont really talk to Vadri much... not because I dislike her per se. Abit too predictable for my taste. leaves her open for exploitation. Luckily for her most people who would exploit her predictability end up dead before they even know whats going on. Other than that, she's okay. Always keeps a cool head no matter the situation. I like that about her.
John:
I like teach. He's a good guy, despite the attitude he has at times. He's seen shit, more so than the others. I doesn't like getting too close too people from what I can tell. THinking about it now I dont think I have ever seen him smile... not that he would have any reason to its just..something I just realized.
Konstantin:
"He gives me the creeps. He's nice enough as it is but...theres something about him. I dont talk to him much either. Hes a hell of a Chemist though I'll give him that.
