Liam Adams had never left his home in Lancaster, Pennsylvania’s Amish Country before he came to Freese College. He led a very insulated life with his large family, and was quite fulfilled. Then, one night, Liam had a vision. He’s unsure whether he was asleep or awake, but a great light outside his window called to him, and he was instilled with a great sensation that he had to explore beyond his hometown. The next morning, he decided that God had compelled him to go forward. Frightened and unsure, and not even completely confident in this vision, he forged ahead, and talked his parents into allowing him to go to an “English” college.

Liam is very naïve, even by Amish standards, but he knows this about himself and tries to keep quiet so he can observe rather than seem foolish. But the outrageous and often confusing machines of the outside world overwhelm and amuse him to no end.

Overweight since he was very young due to a medical condition, Liam was considering his weight when the Ax-Cell-Erator exploded. Soon after, he discovered he could make the ground shake with a roll of his ample belly. But what purpose would this serve in God’s eyes? How would he be judged? How can he use this ability to serve God? Liam continues to struggle with these questions as he internalizes his guilt over Paula’s injury, which he did nothing to stop out of fear for hurting Rob and the Frat Guys. More than any of the other Freshmen, Liam is alone and confused, and hoping to find a direction for himself and his new powers.
