Liam Van Shriek stands at a towering six foot eight inches (according to infraredphaeton), with a lean build but muscular build. He has onyx black hair and crystal blue eyes.

He also has a scar on his left eyebrow from a rugby match; that splits his left eyebrow in half.personality
Liam is possibly one of the biggest athletes that Dalton Academy has ever seen. He enjoys spending most of his time working out, whether he's in his room, the weight room, or just jogging around campus. He plays in a variety of sports including soccer, baseball, football, lacrosse, rugby, swimming, and others. Liam prefers spicy food over all other kinds. He likes salty snacks versus sweet and sour; though he'll always chose something healthier like a powerbar over a bag of chips. He prefers to be a lone wolf, keeping to himself mostly, but his best friend Eric Lenndenhardt wouldn't hear of it. He likes horror movies.
Liam is more of a quiet person and cant stand loud and unnecessary noise. He is dislikes dancing. With how tall Liam is, he finds it difficult to keep up with the dance routines with the other Warblers. Liam also dislikes the color yellow, for reasons he can't explain. He isn't a fan of musicals or showtunes, but puts up with them because of his friendship with Eric. Liam is also not a fan of movie spoofs.
Liam has a constant fear that he isn't going to be good enough. This stems from finding out that the father he thought was dead all of these years actually up and left. Liam is also afraid of being judged for his sexuality, despite being at Dalton.family & history
Father: Some deadbeat who run off
Mother: Allison Van Shriek-CEO
Siblings: Two Male Younger Brothers
Others: Eric Lendennhart- Best Friend
Liam is the oldest of three Van Shriek boys, and native to Lima, Ohio. His mother wasn't around much due to her being the CEO of her company Shortly after his youngest brother was born, his father went missing. His mother told him that his father had died in a car crash the night of the massive storm a few weeks prior. Liam felt an obligation to keep track of his younger brothers. He made sure they made it home from school okay, their homework was done, they were fed and off to bed before he even thought about doing his own work.
As he grew older, Liam started to take an interest in sports. He first started with soccer and the next thing that he knew, he was starting out for just about any sport he could. How Liam found time to go to practice, work out, and take of his brothers is still beyond him. When time for high school came, Liam was offered a partial scholarship to go to Dalton Academy for Boys. He at first wanted to turn down the offer, because he'd be too far away from his brothers. But his mother convinced him that they would be fine without him, and this was an opportunity he couldn't miss.
Arriving at Dalton, Liam immediately ran into Wes, David, and their 'pet' Blaine. He quickly became friends with the three of them as they helped him move in; his mother was too busy. While the other boys all went to the cafeteria, Liam decided to walk around Kerian hall. This is how he ran into little ball of show tunes and rage Eric Lendenhardt. Unsure to really anyone, Liam and Eric became close friends.
Liam focused mainly on his sports but kept getting asked to join the Warbler's with his friends. Liam never thought of himself to be much of a singer, especially since his singing voice was so low. Though with enough cohersion, and threats from Eric, Liam auditioned and was put in as the bass singer for the Warblers.the roleplayer

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE:You always heard about those about the small town person who gave up everything and took a trip to Hollywood and suddenly made it big. They got sympathy from the public, which gave there career a higher boost. This is why Jacob Ian, or Jacob Tyler as the public addressed him, kept his origin story a secret. They didn’t need to know that he came from a small town in Minnesota, and had seven siblings. Once they found that out, his career could change. People could find out that he wasn’t this on screen stud that he played, but actually a quiet geeky type. They could find out that his family didn’t exactly see eye to eye on a lot of things. They could also find out that Jacob and his brother Bradley were basically mortal enemies. Jake wanted to be known for his acting not for his family drama.
Jake stood still and smiled as the cameras around him flashed. He never exactly understood why premieres took so long. You had to walk up the carpet, stopping every few steps for the cameras to take multiple pictures. You had to stop and talk to the press answering a million questions. You had to find cast mates and take pictures with them even if you hated them. This was why most people didn’t stay for the actual movie.
After what seemed like eons, Jake walked out of the plaza, his head pounding some. He had far too much to drink and had danced far too much. Undoing his tie some, he hailed for a cab. Getting in, he took his phone out and saw a text from his mother. Jake opened it tried to focus his eyes to actually read the message. He strained and tried but was only able to make out the words ‘come home if you can.’ Jake tucked his phone away and made a mental note to catch the first flight home tomorrow. After he sobered up of course
Twelve hours later, Jake stepped out of the rental truck and looked at the large house that he used to live in. Adjusting his Raybans some, he walked up the porch and entered the house. “Mom?” He set his bag down on the floor. “Or any of the nine other people who once lived here?” he called out.
