Character Name: Liam Kincaid (Price)
Age at the Reunion: 26 (but looks at most few years older than his present-day self; alien DNA is weird)
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Liam and Verity have had an extremely eventful twenty years. The first few, in a good way: got married, adopted a kid, had a couple more kids... and then the Covenant made its way to North America in a big way and things really went all to hell.

They dropped off the map as far as Fandom's concerned completely for a couple years (around the time their third child was born) before resurfacing a few years later... still with three kids, none of whom are a toddler. Weird. They don’t really talk about what went down during that time.

These days they're more or less on the run, and have in fact been separated for several weeks at this point; Verity’s been busy laying a false trail for the Covenant, while Liam’s taking the kids (all young adults/teenagers by now) to spend the summer somewhere relatively safe. That accomplished, the plan was to meet up in Fandom and lie low for a few days (while enjoying the party they’d conveniently been invited to attend) before heading back home.

How Your Character Can Fit In: Liam would've kept in touch with/visited friends pretty regularly for those first few years, and then there would have been a period of a two or three years where no one would have heard anything at all from either him or Verity. Until one day emails just started popping up again out of nowhere. Ever since then, communication would've been much more sporadic, with silences sometimes stretching on for weeks or even months. And then suddenly an email, or a phone call... perhaps even a gaggle of Prices showing up on your character's doorstep (please shoot me & Nu a line if you'd like this to have happened) out of nowhere, needing a place to lie low for a bit.

Leading up to the reunion specifically, Liam would’ve been out of contact for about a month, which is on the longer side but also not unheard of.
