Hannah "Archer" Murphy

[Hannah Murphy]

Name: Hannah “Archer” Murphy

Age: 19

Power: The ability to absorb energy and convert it into concussive red "arrows" of energy that can be fired and steered towards a target. The spheres vary in power and size, usually depending on how much of a charge she’s currently carrying, but generally can easily blast through a wall. She can currently create up to five bolts at a time with enough of a charge, but steering them to individual targets requires heavy concentration and focus. The arrows are not explosive, but rather a beam of concussive force more akin to Cyclops' optic blasts.

Personality: Quiet and soft-spoken with a very serious look, it’s hard to get to know Murphy properly. Most people that befriend her (usually by force) find her to be a very sweet if socially awkward and introverted girl.

Description: Standing at nearly 6’8”, Murphy is very tall and muscular. She has short black hair and blue eyes and usually wears practical clothing. Jeans, tank-tops, and her signature brown leather jacket.

Background: The daughter of former XI student and famed exotic wildlife expert Rem Murphy, Hannah has spent most of her life in some of the most far flung locales. Her mutant abilities manifested when she was a teenager, but she choose to stay with her family on their travels where her father tutored her in the control techniques he learned when he was at the Xavier Institute.

The decision to go to the university was not an easy and Murphy was practically forced into it. Her parents wanted her to get a college education, but Murphy was uncomfortable being away from her family for the first time ever especially since she’d be surrounded by strangers. After putting off leaving until the point where the university threatened to withdrawal her enrollment, Murphy was packed into a plane and sent to London.

*looks up at Hannah with sparkling eyes* ... you're taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall.

What kind of energy does she absorb? Light? Kinetic? Electrical? All?

[Hannah Murphy]

Murphy's abilities to absorb energy work much like Bishop from the comics. She can theoretically absorb any energy source, but some (such as kinetic) are so ridiculously inefficient or difficult (psionic) to make the effort practically worthless.

The main concern I have is that this is quite similar to an existing character, Melody Martens. Some level of overlap is okay (there are only so many interesting powers) but these are too close for my comfort. The history itself I quite like, it would be great to see something that's more distinct from Melody's power set.

[Hannah Murphy]

Ah. My mistake for not being entirely clear. Murphy's "bolts" aren't explosive. They're more akin to smaller, directed versions of Cyclops' eye beams.

At rest, they look like hovering balls of red light. Moving through the air, they streak a bit looking more like an arrow. Hence the codename "Archer".

Leather Jacket? Tank tops? Jeans? Thats my shtick!

[Sara Stanton]

Jeans? Leather-Jacket? Logan would like a word with both of you copy-cats.

[Will Stanton]

James Dean's gonna kick everyone's butt in this thread.

[Jayda Nightridge]

Logan is sooooo been there done that, talk about early 2000... a new movie doesn't count if its a prequel.
