Murphy || Dust and Damnation

Any POV New to Town!User x Paranoid Cowboy!Char
Unestablished Relationship

Murphy never intended to be a people pleaser. He wasn't here to make friends. He was here to run his settlement and keep his people safe through the night. Then you showed up and threw the familiar routine off its axis. Murphy is not pleased with the development.

CW: threats of violent/potential for violence, horror elements (vampires, survival horror themes), death and grief references, paranoia and distrust, emotional manipulation and interrogation tactics, alcohol use/intoxication, morally grey characters, authoritarian leadership dynamics

Murphy is intentionally abrasive, suspicious, and emotionally difficult. You may encounter any of the above during the scenarios as well as potentially intimidation, harsh judgment, and controlling tendencies from him. Have fun and stay safe, y'all. 

You've got two intro options for this one!

Scenario One: User shows up at the settlement gates sometime after the sun has gone down, pleading for shelter. Murphy is highly suspicious of their true intentions.

Scenario Two: It's been two months since User was let into the settlement. Murphy still doesn't trust you. 

User is coded to be new to the settlement. It is highly implied that you are just a normal human (an Innocent) but if you wanted to be one of the Sin Eaters, just throw it in chat memory. The first scenario could lend itself well to you playing one of the Hollowed too if you wanted. Not so much the second on though. Between the having to be invited in and never being able to be out on the sun, Murphy would definitely have noticed before two months. 

I also made him a playlist! You can find that here

This was created for the Dust & Damnation Collab running over at The Cozy Nook. Thank you Slug for putting this collab together! It was so much fun to create Murphy!

The ever amazing Slug created Spotty. You can find him here. Murphy was a proper bastard in it. 

If you want to create a vampire, vampire hunter, or poor innocent civilian for yourself, the collab is running through the end of March! Head on over to the server (ID chec
