Axyl Murphy (Adopted)

Axyl Murphy

Original Sheet

Gender/Sex:
Male

Age:
17

Meister:
None

Weapon Form:

Upon transformation, Axyl becomes a beautiful golden Spartan short sword with engraved handles. Near the base of the handle on both sides has a small sunshine that seems to glimmer even when in pitch black darkness. Engraved on the front sides of the handles are grisly death scenes from ancient Greek mythology. On the back on the handles there are roughly 30 small hearts. All of the engravings are raised from the blade, creating a rough and molded grip for the meister. The blade itself almost has the ability to blind when raised to sunlight. The point is wickedly sharp, and if the wielder isn't careful, they can easily get the weapon stuck in any nearby object.

Love Interest:
None

Orientation (Sexual/Romantic):
Pansexual

Appearance:
Axyl has medium length hair that is streaked with various shades and tints of brown. He wears thin rimmed black glasses that are constantly sliding down his nose. He is rather pale, due to his Greek descent. His eyes are always focused on something in the distance, which makes him come off slightly rude occasionally, though nobody has ever told him, or merely just spacey. At the slightest embarrassment, he will flush a medium shade of cherry red and start to fidget, prone to mild bouts of anxiety. When he is thinking or spacing out, a pencil manages to make his way to his lips when it is available. No matter how much his hair is brushed, it maintains its fluffy and messy look, much to his dismay.

Personality:
Axyl is a generally quiet person unless provoked and loves books. He grew up with a father who had very high expectations for him, so he now holds people, especially those close to him, accountable for their actions, as well as expecting perhaps too much of them at times. As a boy, he never had anyone close to him leaving him with a tendency of not getting close to anybody, almost out of habit. Sometimes, Axyl has a bit of a loose tongue, which makes for awkward slip-ups when he is in a tough or anxious situation. However, the weapon can still be trusted with the secrets of those near and dear to him, should there be any that fit that description.

History:
He grew up in a strict household; while his mother was a nurturing and caring person, his father was the complete opposite.  His father was elected president of Greece when Axyl was six, putting added pressure on the family to leave up to a sort of pedestal of perfection. Axyl's father was always pushing him to be the best he could be, which put a lot of stress on the boy and his three brothers. Being the oldest, Axyl ended up receiving most of the blame for just about anything that happened in their household, though he didn't really mind; he welcome the opportunity to protect his little brothers. The punishments typically included beating, verbal abuse, public shaming, or worse, though most punishments managed to keep out of the public eye. When he grew old enough, Axyl was forced to become his father's 'political representative.' Axyl put up with all of it for 15 years of his life until one faithful day. In the middle of the night, Axyl took his prepacked backpack of supplies and snuck into his father's office. He had knowledge of the password to a safe in the office, and he unlocked it, only to find a singular ticket to Death City and a note that read "Go to the DWMA. They'll help you unlock those freakish abilities of yours," in his father's handwriting. Axyl was bewildered, but he figured that a free ticket to this "Death City" place was better than the hell that he had to endure on a day-to-day basis. So, without a thought of his brothers having to suffer still, too overwhelmed with everything, himself, he fled. Axyl took the long boat ride to the States, and in a month, he finally arrived at the stairs of the DWMA. He saw a small boy perched on the steps and confronted him, asking the boy what the place was. The boy introduced himself as Alexander, and Axyl spilled his heart out to him. Alexander took him to a teacher who later became his mentor and helped him unlock his weapon blood. He was initially terrified, but with the aid of his teacher, Axyl slowly learned to become less nervous, though the relief did not carry over when he was transformed. He celebrated his 16th birthday at the DWMA, and incidentally unlocked his partial weapon form the same day. The teacher obtained special permission from Death to take Axyl on missions with them, and the Death Scythe that was his teacher encouraged him to eat the monster souls they discovered (not wanting to purge himself of his current souls). By this, Axyl became a Hunter's Axe.

Soul Count: 10

Mutations	Description	# of souls
Illusionary Replication	(Hydra) Axyl's weapon (and when used in it, human) form creates two false duplicates; when struck, they each create two more, and so on. The duplicates are illusions, meant only to confuse.	1
Siren's Song	(Siren) When activated, or when singing in his human form, Axyl is able to attract victims (though only those attracted to men) to him, usually into traps. If replayed backwards and at a higher frequency, causes disorientation, nausea and (with prolonged exposure of 3+ hours straight), blackouts.	9
Petrify(Locked)	(Cockatrice) At will in human form but only when striking the face in weapon form, Axyl can temporarily paralyze an opponent. If left in place for 24 hours, the effect becomes permanent on the victim. Also has the side effect of causing him to randomly hiss or bock during conversations, making him speak even more infrequently than before. (Not in effect until unlocked).	19
