[b]Name:[/b]
Murray, Herald of the Metalocalypse
 
[b]Alias:[/b]
Murray has no alias, for he has no reason to hide his identity.
 
[b]Age:[/b]
As old as sound itself, but didn't achieve sentience until 1968.
 
[b]Gender:[/b]
Whitesnake
 
[b]Alignment:[/b]
Villain
 
[b]Appearance:[/b]
See Above
 
[b]Personality[/b]
At his core, Murray is an entertainer. The Herald is extravagant, loud, and nearly impossible to anger. He simply wishes to put on a show for the denizens of Earth, and honour the Lords of Metal.
 
[b]Powers:[/b]
Genes of Simmons: Murray's tongue is prehensile and several feet in length, allowing him to shred on his guitar even while his hands are occupied.
 
Making an entrance: Any true son of metal knows that a proper entrance is mandatory, and Murray is no different. His arrival is always heralded by a chorus of fallen angels and a sizable explosion, swiftly followed by Murray himself power-sliding onto the scene whilst igniting the ground with his legs.
 
[b]Weapons:[/b]
The Pick-Axe of Destiny: Forged from questionably holy power ballads and the hair of primordial metalheads, Murray's personal guitar is an instrument of immense power. Surpassing the limits of mortal comprehension, the sound produced by it is a weapon in itself; a brief solo will release an explosion of sound, often followed by any lesser beings & structures spontaneously exploding. In the event someone foolishly decides to interrupt one of Murray's performances, he can use the 'business end' of his axe as a melee weapon; taking advantage of an edge no less brutal than his music.
 
His guitar is also bound to him both physically and spiritually, responding to any attempt at separation by way of forcibly returning to Murray in a flash of electricity.
 
[b]Fighting Style:[/b]
Murray is less of a fighter and more of a performer. It just so happens that his performances are incredibly destructive. When it comes down to it, however, he is more than willing to partake in a 'traditional' brawl; by way of mighty kicks, headbangs, and swings from his axe.
 
[b]Signature Moves:[/b]
Thunder Road: Requires a motor vehicle. By jacking his guitar into any nearby car, Murray empowers the mortal vehicle with a surge of electricity, thus transforming it into a hellish hotrod with a mind of its own. With the Herald atop its hood, the car can achieve flight so long as Murray continues to play, propelled along a track formed from lightning and thunderheads.
 
Live Wire: Channeling electricity into his guitar, the Herald channels a lash formed of lightning to awe the crowd and electrocute opponents.
 
[b]History:[/b]
In the past, Murray was a formless demon, a primordial embodiment of exceptionally loud sounds. In the year 1968 on the Gregorian calendar, however, a miracle occurred. A miracle known only as Heavy Metal. With the genre's birth, so too was Murray reborn, finding new life and purpose as a hellish champion of music. As the years went by, Heavy Metal grew, and countless saints of the genre came and left. All the while, Murray remained in hell, belting out mighty solos in their honour.
 
Now, it is 17095 A.D. (Anno Dio), and an ancient prophecy is beginning to unfold. The four prophecized sons of Metal have been born, signalling the foretold Tour to End All Tours. The time has come for Murray to walk the Earth, find these four sons, form the ultimate band, and bring forth Armageddon.
 
[b]Skills:[/b]
Master Musician: Unsurprisingly, Murray is an incredibly skilled guitarist, leagues above all but the mightiest of metalheads.
 
[b]Weaknesses:[/b]
The Devil You Know: Murray is vulnerable to all the traditional weaknesses of his kind; such as holy water, blessed icons of the church, a rock-off challenge, being killed, and so on and so forth.
