In speculative fiction and, loosely applied, in mythology, a liminal being is a fantasy character that combines two distinct states of simultaneous existence within one physical body. This unique perspective may provide the liminal being with wisdom and the ability to instruct, making them suitable mentors, whilst also making them dangerous and uncanny.
Many beings in fantasy and folklore exist in liminal states impossible in actual beings:
Man how I wish I still lived in Jupiter. That place was legit, as is this band.
Saw 'em August 13th. Best concert and night ever! Met the girl that'd be my first girlfriend there, haha!

B-Liminal is a "they", not a "he."
