Forget dating a person; the new challenge in the world of dating sims is winning the heart of a deeply religious air fryer.
Liam O'Brien: The Voice Behind the Convection
While Friar Errol is a fictional character—a personification of an air fryer—the man who gives him his intensely serious and highly-repressed voice is a titan in the voice acting industry. Here is a brief biography of the celebrated voice actor, writer, and director, Liam O'Brien.
- Full Name: Liam Christopher O'Brien
- Born: May 28, 1976
- Birthplace: Belleville, New Jersey, USA
- Career Highlights: O'Brien is one of the most prolific voice actors in video games and anime, known for his versatility and dramatic range.
- Notable Roles (Video Games): Vincent Law (Ergo Proxy), Gaara (Naruto), Illidan Stormrage (World of Warcraft), Caius Ballad (Final Fantasy XIII-2), and especially his long-running role as Vax'ildan in the Critical Role Dungeons & Dragons series.

- Personal Life: He is a regular cast member of the popular Dungeons & Dragons actual play series, Critical Role, and is married to fellow voice actress Amy Kincaid.
O'Brien's casting as Friar Errol is a key element of the character's appeal, lending a surprising gravitas and dramatic intensity to an otherwise absurd premise. His performance elevates the air fryer from a mere joke to a surprisingly compelling romantic interest in the game.
Understanding the Phenomenon: What is Date Everything!?
To truly appreciate Friar Errol, one must first understand the context of the game he inhabits. Date Everything! is a sandbox dating simulator and semi-visual novel that took the gaming world by surprise with its bold, curious, and utterly unique premise.
A Dating Sim for the Modern Home
The game's plot revolves around the player character, Rainey, who is delivered a mysterious pair of glasses that allows them to perceive the anthropomorphized personalities of the everyday objects around their house. The goal is simple yet bizarre: form relationships with these objects.
The game is celebrated for its massive scope, featuring 100 fully voice-acted datable characters. This roster includes everything from a wall and a microwave to a piano, and most famously, the deeply religious air fryer, Friar Errol.
The Convection Conviction: Friar Errol's Identity
Friar Errol is not just any household object; he is specifically the air fryer found on the counter next to the fridge. He is designated as Dateable #41. His character design and personality are a direct, satirical take on religious fervor and strict dietary practices, all filtered through the lens of a kitchen appliance.
His core belief system is centered on 'The Road to the Heavenly Kitchen,' a faith that preaches the virtues of clean, oil-free cooking. His solemn duty is to lead the world away from "greasy ways" and towards the "air fried light" of Convection.
The Path to the Heavenly Kitchen: How to Romance Friar Errol
Romancing Friar Errol is one of the most distinctive and challenging paths in Date Everything!. His deeply serious nature and commitment to his faith mean that casual flirtation will not work. The player must demonstrate a genuine commitment to his philosophical and dietary beliefs.
1. Embrace the Doctrine of Convection
The foundation of a relationship with Friar Errol is shared faith. To win his heart, the player must consistently side with his beliefs and actively support his mission. This means denouncing traditional, oil-based cooking methods and wholeheartedly embracing the air-fried life. Your responses in dialogue must reflect a preference for clean food and the purity of convection.
2. Defend His Ministry
Friar Errol's intense conviction often puts him at odds with other characters in the kitchen, who may mock or challenge his 'Road to the Heavenly Kitchen' doctrine. A crucial step in his romance path is to defend him in these interactions. By taking his side and validating his beliefs, you show him that you are a true disciple, which earns his trust and affection.
3. The Musical Collaboration
In one of his key interactions, Friar Errol, who is highly-repressed, enlists the player's help with music as he attempts to compose a new hymn dedicated to the Heavenly Kitchen. Successfully assisting him in this creative and spiritual endeavor is a significant milestone on the path to his love ending.
4. The Love Ending: A Reward for the Devout
The Friar Errol love ending is achieved by maintaining consistency in your support and faith throughout the game's five days. If you go along with his beliefs, take his side in disputes, and help him spread the word of Convection, he will confess his feelings during the final scene.
The ultimate reward is a relationship built on shared devotion—a satirical, yet surprisingly sweet, union with a deeply devout air fryer. The journey is a commentary on the nature of faith, repression, and finding common ground, even if that ground is the kitchen counter.
The Topical Authority of Air Fryer Angst
The character of Friar Errol, the air fryer, is a masterclass in using absurdism to create topical authority. The game's developers cleverly tapped into several modern cultural entities and concepts to build his unique lore:
- Air Fryer Craze: The air fryer itself is a major modern kitchen appliance, often touted as a healthier alternative to deep frying, making it a relevant and recognizable object.
- Cult of Clean Eating: Friar Errol's "Road to the Heavenly Kitchen" is a clear parody of the intense, often dogmatic nature of modern clean eating, health, and wellness movements.
- Religious Satire: The use of terms like "Friar," "Convection," "Heavenly Kitchen," and "hymn" injects a layer of lighthearted religious satire, giving the character surprising depth and internal conflict.
- Voice Actor Appeal: The involvement of a high-profile voice actor like Liam O'Brien (known for serious, dramatic roles) adds a layer of unexpected legitimacy and performance quality to the character, drawing in fans of his other work.
The blend of these elements makes Friar Errol one of the most talked-about characters in the Date Everything! roster, proving that even a small kitchen appliance can be a compelling romantic lead when given a unique philosophy and a dramatic voice. His story is a testament to the creativity and unexpected emotional depth found within the world of niche dating simulators.
