（i will shut the world away）
the state of new jersey
crossroads of the revolution
(name) william rufino murphy
(age) 19-21 / 222
(height) 5'10" ft
(weight) 163 lbs
(appearance) gangly as sin. long legs. there's some visible freckles dusted across his nose, most are his arms and shoulders. messy red hair. one visible moss green eye, the other covered by an eye-patch. lots of baggy, casual (with a touch of wut) type clothing. prefers black over most colors. scarves, flashy headbands and parkas are not below him. fun fact: he never wears matching socks, he feels luckier this way. silly t-shirts with stupid saying can be pretty common place in his wardrobe. everything is wrinkled, always, boy does not know what the wrinkle cycle or an iron is.
(personality) brash and outspoken, whatever is on his mind is likely to be said. its a rare occasion for him to actually think then talk. outdoorsy in that he likes the shore and getting drunk on patios. though his attitude toward his neighbors might be shitty, he is rather nice (though that does not equal well-mannered) to others. overprotective of trenton, and most of his girls (expect maybe camden, in that case he's afraid of her), like nobody's business. so he isn't afraid to fight if needed, in fact he gets thrill out of them. is really an idiot at heart.
(languages) spoke dutch and jersey dutch, no longer remembers either. the same with swedish. speaks decent italian and irish. knows some spanish and german.
(other) wears his death action park scars with pride. he has serious hate-hate relationships with both pennsylvania and downstate new york. sometimes he forgets princeton is his, same with cape may. loves tomatoes and all tomato related dishes. spent some time with hippies back in the sixties, oh the stories he could tell. the jersey devil is real and he might be absolutely terrified by the thought of it.
(noticeable features) the scar on his face and the resulting blindness in his eye was a result of the baylor massacre. there's also a number of smaller, less noticeable scars resulting from all the battles new jersey faced during the revolution. he has a somewhat large burn scar on his left hip and thigh from the hindenburg disaster. as well as several more, smaller but similar burns, from the black tom and kingsland explosions.
