Basic Information Name: Timothy Aloysius Francis McMurphy Nickname/Alias/Etc: McThing Gender: Male Age: 31 Height: 203 cm Weight: 138 kg Status: Freelance Appearance Hair Color: Black Eye Color: Blue Ethnicity & skin color: Caucasian, fair-skinned Physical Appearance: McThing is an extremely tall and broad man, muscular yet undefined. His craggy face might be handsome under better circumstances, but is marred by a bad shaving rash and several scars. His nose in particular has been broken and reset numerous times. His hands are particularly large and tend to be bright red in contrast to his fair skin. Attire: McThing can usually be found in an inexpensive, department store suit, with the tie frequently loosened. He's no fashion-plate, though, he only wears a suit as part of the image he wants to project. Personality Outward & Innate Personality: Outwardly, McThing is quiet, preferring to cultivate his air of menace by intently watching others. Deep down, though, he is full of self-doubt and constantly trying to win approval or praise from others. Hobbies/Interests: McThing is an avid fan of comic books- he got his nickname from one of the members of the Fantastic Four. Skills/Talents: You do not hire Tim McThing for his mind. Rather, you hire him for the fact that he is a giant who possesses a great deal of physical strength. As a former pro wrestler, he is very good in a close-quarters scrap. He has a great deal of control- while he is certainly capable of hurting people very, very badly, he can also pull off flashy moves that look painful but are actually harmless to the other person (ideal for a staged fight). Additionally, he has some skill as an actor, often surprising people with how completely he is able to adopt a cover story or remember details or lines. Prized Possession: A mint-condition copy of Action Comics #1. Quote: “You guys keep this up, someone is liable to get hurt. FYI, it's not gonna be me.” History/Bio: Tim McMurphy was born and raised in the notorious Charlestown district of Boston. In a working-class family, there wasn't much money to go around. Without pocket money to buy the comics he loved (they were a welcome distraction from being smacked around by his drunken out-of-work father), Tim found his size and strength made it easy to take books or money from other children. He was in and out of trouble throughout his youth, dropping out of high school at 16 to pursue a professional wrestling career. He struggled in this job for another eight years, but between professional mismanagement and his own tendency to spend heavily, he had difficulty making ends meet. All that changed, however, when he was approached by a couple of men. They were the vanguard of Boston's organized crime scene, members of the Irish Mob. A towering man like McMurphy would be useful for intimidating even the most recalcitrant. McThing, as he came to be known, found he enjoyed the work, not to mention the pay. Soon he was accepting pay to rough up just about anyone, satisfying his baser instincts while finding his niche. Family: Tim McMurphy comes from a large Irish Catholic family. His father Daniel died two years back (Tim didn't bother to attend the funeral), his mother Angela is retired and lives in Boston. His siblings: Sean (37, welder, Boston); Allison (35, housewife, New York City); Paul (28, unemployed, Boston); Kevin (27, taxi driver, Providence); Christine (22, student, Lowell). In many ways, he is the black sheep of the family, all of whom live honestly. He is estranged from the rest of the McMurphy clan. Relationships Relationships: TBA Abilities Expertise: Muscle Limitations: Tim McThing is extremely bad with money. He spends injudiciously and doesn't even know how to balance his checkbook. While not exactly stupid, he is easily persuaded or misled. Additionally, his enormous size is also a drawback- he is pretty much incapable of operating with even the smallest amount of stealth, he has difficulty finding clothing or vehicles that fit him, he stands out vividly in the minds of witnesses.
