[Background] Link to Wiki Please note that Liara is from a universe where she has never had a romantic relationship with Commander Shepard.
[Personality] Liara is best described as innocent, sweet and bookish. But, she keeps her business side much quieter to her friends than what they expect. As the Shadowbroker, Liara knows quite a bit more information than anyone else in the galaxy. Liara even states that if she was given ten minutes she could start a war between any combination of races in the galaxy with the information networks. What she controls is all the sensitive information that people think is kept safe, locked up, or destroyed. Information that people do not want to have exposed or brought up. She’s ruthless as an information broker, letting nothing stop her from getting her objectives and learning more about anything that she can get her hands on. One of her scenes involves threatening to flay someone alive with her mind if they didn’t give her the information she was promised.
She tends to keep these traits hidden from her friends, her obsessive attitudes in collecting information. Of course, when it comes to her all-time love of prothean [a previous empire of aliens that went extinct because of a massive invasion by sentient space ships] history it’s very easy to get her tripping over herself in trying to find information and answers to her numerous questions. She’s very excitable when it comes to prothean history, acting more like a child than her ruthless Shadowbroker persona that she works at maintaining.
Liara cares very deeply for her friends, including the Commander that she’s had an infatuation with to the extent that she went looking for the Commander’s body once she learned that they had been killed. It was even her decision to turn over Shepard’s body to Cerberus [A humans for humanity terrorist group] in the hopes that they could bring the Commander back to life. She will go above and beyond for her friends and for causes that she believes are important. Using her skills and hidden abilities as the Shadowbroker she can pull strings with all kinds of organizations and people across the galaxy. Although, it is not widely known that Liara is the Shadowbroker. Very few people have access to this knowledge, mostly the Normandy crew and a few people that Liara has told personally, like her asari father Aethyta.
Within conversation, Liara tends to trip over herself of make odd blunders in how she phrases her words. While being very intelligent and holding a PhD from a prestigious asari university, she feels more comfortable around books and computers than she does people. As the Shadowbroker she holds the anonymity of a voice changer and not showing her actual face. It gives her a power that she lacks in face-to-face conversations where sometimes what she means and what she says doesn’t mesh up entirely. Often the blunders are minor and just end up making her feel awkward.
Over the progression of three games, with her only debut in the second game being a DLC and a very short side mission, Liara grows from an awkward and introvert into someone that is quite complex. There is something vaguely proud about her, being the daughter of a Matriarch, and haughty with a sense of indignation about being called out on not being proper for what the asari are considered to be. Her obsession with the Commander and Protheans don’t go unnoticed either, while she’s certainly a very soft and likeable character there is always a darker side to Liara’s personality that cannot be pinpointed to merely one trait, but that might be the result of her telepathy upon other characters.
[Specialties/Abilities] Link to Wiki
The highlights of Liara’s abilities are within her use of bitoics, as outlined in the wiki as the manipulation of an element that when an electrical current is added to it increases or decreases the weight of the object or person it is imbedded within. The element can also be used in various other attacks such as creating miniature black holes, or ripping something or someone apart at a molecular level. All asari are born with the ability to use biotics because it is naturally occurring in their bodies like iron is in humans.
Asari are also capable of a small amount of telepathy. This allows them to adjust their appearance to other people/species to make them seem more attractive. Because Liara is young she doesn’t play up her abilities of making herself overly attractive, but she carries the same elegance and grace that all asari seem to have. Liara is also able to access people’s minds and when needed can mesh her nervous system’s electrical signals with another person’s. She never uses either of these abilities without permission because it is a difficult and exhausting process for both her and whomever she’s meshing with.
[Affection] Liara is friendly, but really she's never been romantically attracted to anyone but Commander Shepard. People are welcome to flirt with her but if advances are too aggressive she'll likely just walk away from the situation. She's not very good in determining flirting from routine conversation. Really, just ask me.
[Fighting]Yes, other people can fight with Liara and injure her but outright killing her would be incredibly difficult. Just ask me if you'd like to work something out, really. She tries to avoid fights but sometimes finds them inevitable.
[Other Permissions] Can telepathic characters read your character's mind? How much can fourth wall breakers say? In other words, how intrusive can another character be toward yours? If there's anything you don't want a character to bring up or know about your character, just fill it in here.
Seeing a Liara is a telepath getting inside of her mind without permission would be almost impossible. Fourth wall breakers just ask me first? I don't know how much she can handle depending on the situation. Liara is pretty calm towards more things and she does love collecting any kinds of information so most intrusions are okay, but if it's something that's really off the wall just drop me a line.
[Other Facts] She's a little obsessive over things she likes, including Protheans. You've all been warned.
