So, about Murphy.
You know how in Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama would base major villains off of whoever was the editor at the time subconsciously? Like how King Piccolo was partially inspired by his first editor?
Well the same happened to me. I ended up basing a few characters off my friends (in fairness they are a rad group), and Murphy was the first.
She’s based off my best bro’s girlfriend Mackenzie, she’s a neat Vaporwave artist and over-all rad gal.
SO, how did I end up basing Murphy after Mackensize? Well I had the idea of a Vaporwave inspired character who could copy abilities with a Minidisc player and the rest sort of happened.
I didn’t realize it until my bro told me ‘Hey, t-that kinda looks like Mac...”.
Then I showed Murphy to Mac and she dug it, totally cool with the character! Weird how these things turn out.

New character time, new character release page format. I think I’ll do this from here on in.
Anyways, this is Murphy Mack, a sorta brand new Clown with an affinity for Vaporwave and other such A E S T H E T I C things!
She’s a small name Vaporwave artist that moonlights as an amateur Kickboxer, as she is daughter to a former Champion. She enjoys a good fight, but likes making music and art more.
And of course with her being a Clown that fights, she has Clown-Po! However, it didn’t manifest inside her spirit, instead, it manifested inside her favorite MiniDisc player.
Now with her spiritually charged Player, by pressing the big red button on the front and sticking a Spirit Cable into someone, she can use it to copy her opponents abilities and create Aesth-Discs (GET IT?), MiniDiscs that contain the abilities of whoever she copies (as well as 4 or 5 songs that sum up that person’s personality, it is still a music player after all)!
For example, let’s say she copies Ace, as shown above. She’ll get a MiniDisc with his colors on it, as well as all his abilities and Clown-Po which in his case is his Boxing and old circus skills, his Clown-Po control, and she’ll even get a cute li’l version of his outfit! And to activate this abilitiy, she has to press the button with Japanese text next to the Rec button.
However, this ability isn’t without it’s kinks. An Aesth-Disc can only be used 5 times for the Copy ability. After those five uses, it becomes a regular ol’ MiniDisc. Not to mention the Copy ability only can only work 5 minutes per-use with a 10 minute cool-down period afterwards.
What Murphy tends to do is weaken down her opponent, copy their Aesthetic and use it to finish the fight.
Then she’ll catalog the new Aesth-Disc for later use. She always carries around a booklet with Discs in her Sukajan jacket (and no, it’s not just a Letterman jacket, THERE’S A DIFFERENCE).
Now then, let’s discuss that ‘sorta’ part that I mentioned earlier.
If you knew me before this blog and before I made Nonkina Ace my main thing, I worked on another OC story of mine. That story was New York Densetsu, a story about a Japanese Delinquent moving from Japan to the States, hoping he can ditch that old lifestyle of his, only to be swept back into more Shounen bullshit.
Another one of my great ideas that I ultimately axed because I can’t work on THREE DIFFERENT STORIES at the same time. Not to mention I neglected it for the longest time because I became all about my FIGHTIN’ CLOWNS.
But I still had some characters from that that I still like, so I figured, fuck it, might as well re-tool them for Ace. And that’s what I did.
I mean this isn’t the first time I did this. Remember, Bancho and Goto where repurposed from an older story of mine that also dealt about Clowns that fought and also happened to be Delinquents.
Between Murphy and her original incarnation, there’s not a whole lot different. Both are still Vaporwave artists, both love collecting outdated tech and their outfits are nearly 1:1. The big difference is that I gave Murphy and actual fighting ability whereas with her original, I kept saying that I was gonna give her something but I just kept neglecting to do so.
I mean hey, better to reuse than let die, right? This won’t be the only time I retool an NYD character too. I might resurrect others too~
So yeah, that’s Murphy! Hope you like this A E S T H E T I C Gal~
