PART 2.a - In Character Non-WH13/Eureka Canon Characters
Full Name: Murtaugh
Nicknames: Mur, m . Other canon nicknames he won't have earned at this point: Mur@lab, The company
DOB/Age: May 31, 1884 - 21 years
Birthplace: Kent, ?. Third Layer.
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Species: Human
Fandom: Submachine
Journal:the_explorer
PB: Nicholas Hoult
Holoprojection Human Interface PB: n/A
Canon Point: Pre-series
Appearance: The first thing one would notice about Mur is that visibly, he appears to only one arm, the right one. His karma arm, the third arm, is completely invisible to everyone but him. He has short black hair and blue eyes. Mur's hair is always a little unkept, it's just not something he cares about. He stands at a height of 5'8, only a little taller than Liz. His body type is slimmish but still muscled. He doesn't really care about fashion, tending to dress generically in trousers and button down shirts.
History: Born in 1884, Mur spent the first several years of his life having no idea what would happen to him. He was a popular boy, fancied by some and admired by others. He was the type to never have to try very hard in school, as he always made good grades with the bare minimum.
This ended at the age of fifteen, when he went on a vacation to Kent Falls. Mur met his best friend there, Elizabeth, and they spent part of a wonderful summer together. But the wonderful part would end all too quickly. Mur would stick his hand in a waterfall, a seemingly innocuous act. While in the water, he could see seven layers of his arm, something that didn't change when he pulled it back out. Suddenly his arm was rather unexplainable, a fact worsened by the fact nobody else could see his arm anymore. As he puts himself: "I did lose my left arm, but what the hell, I found out that I had a third."
Some would sympathise with him, others would call him a freak. The fact he was not upset did not help the situation. With his behavior and attitude towards his 'lost arm', he was considered mentally ill. Those who had once adored him now turned their backs on him, not wishing to associate with what he appeared to be. But this was fine with him, because he didn't want to try to explain his powers to them, anyway. He tried once with his mother and it became very clear very quickly that someone without his gift couldn't even begin to comprehend it. Except Liz, but even she could not see the true nature.
For the next few years, Liz was his sole companion. They investigated the falls and gained proof that there was something called a Submachine. Liz would do the research and Mur would do the field work, or so it was planned. Secretly she did field work as well, despite his wishes; secretly he created karma portals when she didn't want him to. Though the secrets were actually very badly kept, there wasn't much they could do to stop each other.
Eventually, others would start to believe as well and follow Liz and Mur in this journey. People were paying attention to him again and he didn't know how to handle it. He would focus more on his work on the people around them, and it became that the only person he could really see was Liz. This didn't bode well with the others, who used such labels as 'sociopath'. These would turn into 'reckless' and 'murderer' when the karma portals built up and caused enough destruction that people started dying.
At this time, Mur locked himself away to become a lighthouse keeper. He wanted to run away from his problems and practice his powers in peace. This worked out for awhile, he developed his powers to a higher level and found out he could travel farther and farther than he thought. He also met a cat who could bend the laws of space and time. But then his dear Liz disappeared from all contact. She had ended up in the Warehouse universe, but how was he to know where she was?
He burrowed into himself and ceased all research. About a year passed, eventually he was able to pull himself up and try again. Still, he payed no attention to the outside world. He payed so ill attention that there was no warning when one day, the lighthouse was buried deep beneath the dirt by his enemies. He could not escape and his worst fear is being buried alive. Finally he decided to make the biggest, yet most unstable portal of all and head through it to an unknown destination. But before he could complete it, he too would be pulled into the Warehouse universe.
Previous Game History, IF APPLICABLE: n/A
Personality: The first thing to notice about Murtaugh is that he is smart and focused. In fact, he is almost too smart and definitely too focused. When he is focused on all layers of his arm, on the whole picture, it's hard for him to see the details. To be able to communicate with others properly, he has to bring his focus down and try to relax - something that is very hard for him. He prefers to work.
He is a bit of a quirky individual. His sense of humour is not one for all. Murtaugh is also a pessimist, though not at heart - it's a learned behavior from years of things always going at least slightly wrong. Gift him good things, and someone will always object and hate him, that is how life has been.
When he becomes attached to someone or something, it's thoroughly so. However, it's hard for him to even become attached to begin with. He's learned to keep others at a distance. He judges quickly and stubbornly sticks to first impressions. He feels this is only fair, given how others have judged and misunderstood him. He is more than a little bit of a child, and doesn't see any reason to change anytime soon.
Special facts/special abilities about your character: Having lost his left arm as a young man of 15, he was given by Shiva the power of a karma arm. This arm is present across all seven Layers of reality. When he focuses all of his arm into one spot, he can create a karma portal. These are a destructive force, tearing apart what's around them. The small ones lead to places on the same Layer, while the large ones lead to another Layer.
He can control certain objects with his karma arm, such as the Mechanical Hand. His karma arm doesn't have intricate motor skills, and so he channels the karma through an object and controls its moving parts. In the Warehouse universe, he will be able to move and control objects with it, but not be able to make portals anymore. His arm also won't present itself as seven layers anymore, making it much easier for him to relax and be able to communicate with others.
What is arriving with your character? Firstly, he arrives in the possession of one black cat named Einstein. This cat has the power to break the space barrier. He can go wherever he wants, whenever he wants. Doors don't keep him out.
Secondly, he arrives in possession of a large backpack. It contains the items that one might take with them if they are running away from home. Non perishable food, some clothing. A blanket, tools of hygeine, and some scattered items such as a knife, rope, a first aid kit and a compass. He also carries several notebooks.

[Murtaugh appears on the video, looking a little haggard and worse for the wear. Mostly, he just looks annoyed, the rest is just the dirt and dust that tends to cover someone who's been having to crawl around.]
Has anyone seen a cat? Black, about ye-big. [He gestures about the size of a slimmer sized cat.] Mine's gone AWOL on me.
I guess I gotta apologize for whatever he might have done. He gets into places real easily, places he's not meant to, and doesn't seem to think privacy exists. He is a cat, after all.
[Mur offers an apologetic smile for the viewers. It's pretty fake - he doesn't actually care where the cat's gotten into, he just wants Einstein back.]
His name is Einstein. So if you see him, tell him to come back, okay? He might not let you catch him. And if he's messed anything up - let me know and I'll figure out how to make it up to you.
