history:

http://theboondocksaints.wikia.com/wiki/Murphy_MacManus

personality:

At a first glance, Murphy is a laid back, good hearted young man. The (commonly believed) younger fraternal twin brother to Connor MacManus, he is the person Murphy is closest to. Connor is not only his twin, but also his best friend – the one person Murphy couldn’t live without, and would do absolutely anything for. Murphy tends to let Connor come up with the plans for each of their jobs, although they very rarely go as expected. This demonstrates his complete trust for his twin, even though they may not always agree with each other. In these cases, they compromise, but usually not before having a quick argument. They spend next to all of their time together, and as a result, work very well as a pair, and can read each other like open books. While they don’t allow many people in, when it comes to each other, the bond the Macmanus brothers share is infallible. When they do allow people into their circle, they look out for them as if they were a third brother.

 In many ways, the brothers are very similar; for example, Murphy shares Connors (usually) immature sense of humour, and enjoys pulling pranks either on or with his twin. Whenever they fight (which happens quite a lot) it is usually physical, but doesn’t tend to last long, and grudges are never held. Like children, the reason for the argument is forgotten quickly en lieu of something more entertaining.

Like Connor, Murphy is pretty carefree and would rather have a drink and laugh than get into a fight. However, if the situation were to arise, he is the more aggressive of the two, and the one with the shorter fuse. More impatient and generally more foul mouthed than Connor, Murphy is the one that, on occasion, needs to be held back. However, the only time you’ll ever see Murphy truly angry is when either his brother or a close friend are in danger, though Connor would take priority every time.  He is also something of a realist, though he tries to be an optimistic one.

Murphy is a devout Catholic, and believes very strongly in justice and protecting the innocent.  He has very little to no tolerance for those who believe themselves to be above the law, as well as law breakers in general.  As stated in the courtroom scene at the end of the first movie;

‘…It is your corrupt we claim. It is your evil that will be sought by us. With every breath, we shall hunt them down. Each day we will spill their blood till it rains down from the skies.

Do not kill, do not rape, do not steal, these are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are not polite suggestions — these are codes of behavior. And those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost.

There are varying degrees of evil, we urge you lesser forms of filth not to push the bounds and cross over into true corruption, into our domain…’

abilities/powers:

Murphy is a regular human, though he’s a skilled shot with a gun, and can more than hold his own in a fist fight. He is also fluent in Irish, German, English, Italian, Russian, and French.

third person sample:

The morning had started out like any other; the sun a little too bright and the air cold and crisp. The twins hadn’t drunk nearly enough to warrant a hangover, since their St Patrick’s Day celebrations had come to a violent halt the night before, not that Murphy would complain about that. He hadn’t given the previous evening’s events much thought – until the door to their apartment was kicked in. All they could both do was get to their feet, only for Connor to be smacked in the head, and dragged across the room to the toilet. Forced to his knees, all Murphy could do was throw a quick, empty threat over his shoulder - the gun pressed to the back of his head a swift reminder of that.  However, his attention was sharply drawn to what the Russian was saying to Connor;

“You know why I fucking come here? I come here to kill you – but now? I don’t think I fucking kill you. I kill your brother, shoot him in the head”

If this were any other situation, there was no way in hell anyone would have gotten away with that – if these had been any other circumstances, threatening his brother’s life would have been a fucking death sentence. If Connor wasn’t restrained, maybe Murphy wouldn’t have felt a lump hit his stomach like a lead weight. They’d both been threatened before, been in a fair number of fights – but now it felt as though their luck had maybe run out. All he could do now, as he was pulled out of the apartment and away from his sibling, was have faith that they’d manage to pull through for each other again.

Connors enraged cries slowly fell out of ear shot as he was pushed into the alley outside, and forced to the ground once again. His heart was racing, his mind a chaotic concoction of prayers and thoughts of his brother, though outwardly he seemed collected and calm. However, opening his eyes momentarily, Murphy squinted in disbelief at what he saw falling from the fire escape in their apartment…
