Looking good so far!

I do have a critique set up though...

bear with me, it's my first cnc (Click to Show)


Good luck, challenger!

I'm more curious as to how he makes light 'hard' in the sense that it can cut.

Quote from Cassandra
Limitless Light Constructs: This is a little confusing. He can create any type of weapon?

*Venox swept in towards Murphy’s unprotected flank. The enemy’s focus was on Nightwing…now was his chance!

*Murphy turned and pulled out an energy sword (Halo reference).

*Venox: “O.O”

(Obliteration noises)

See what I mean? It’s fine for you to make some weapons, but just remember to put a limit on the types or amount of them. Otherwise we’ll end up with a character that can get OP real fast.


This sent me laughing for the past few minutes.

However, it does not have a limit on the types or amount of them. But, he usually summons around 3-5 of them only. Unless you have any objection about this, suggest an amount.

Quote from Cassandra
Ultimate Weakness, PROJECTILES: So…what if the enemies pick up, say, a whole bunch of rocks (no, even better…pillows) and throw them as hard as they can at the light weapons and/or clones. Would they break, flicker, explode, dull…? What would happen?

Any projectile can wreck the clones/weapons? What if Murphy faces enemies with guns? Bullets are projectiles too. Technically, all fist sized objects, one-handed weapons, anything that can be thrown (or affected by gravity) could be deemed as a “projectile.” If something explodes near Murphy, would the fragments pose a threat to his weapons or clones?


In summary, a projectile is: “A fired, thrown, or otherwise propelled object, such as a bullet, having no capacity for self-propulsion.”

Heh, might have messed up somewhere with that. Not good at physics lol. But I’m sure you get my meaning.


I'll change that in a sec, but for the moment, anything that hits harder than an arrow would deem as 'projectile' to him. If Murphy have to face off an enemies with guns, his light constructs will shatter no matter what. And he can't use it to block too much attacks, that's why it's a one-time usage kinda thing. Though he CAN summon more, but you do know that bullets are faster right? ;D

And btw, most of the wRHGs here don't use guns that are rapid fire right? Except for L.L Bust and Bl.An.C.

Quote from Cassandra
Tiring Transformation: Once Murphy releases his solar flare attack, how would he feel afterwards? Would he be so weak that he wouldn’t be able to attack if he wanted to? What effects would he suffer (e.g. dizziness, paralysis, light-headedness, pounding headache etc.)? Would these effects be similar, different, or exactly the same after reverting back to human form normally from his morph?


He simply FAINTS. Then Venox can simply feed on his useless corps I suppose... until he suddenly wakes up and pulled out an energy sword (joking).

NOTE: I am a fan of Halo franchise!

Quote from Cassandra
Flesh, blood, and light: I’m guessing Murphy doesn’t fight a lot in human form, but if he does, what are his weaknesses then? Normal human weakness (bleed, burn, bone-breaks, bruises), or a special type weakness (resists light element, weak to fire/water/earth/air/darkness etc.). Does his “solid light” morph have a weakness? If it is made of solid light, do physical attacks pass right through it or cause damage to it? If so, in what way is the morph affected?


1. He mostly fights in human form. But since you like writing long stories then it'll be interesting if you add the Morph form right? ;)
2.
Quote from Matthew Murphy
Though he is immortal, he can still suffer like a mortal- getting cut, burned, shot, stabbed and so forth.


I believe you get the point on what happens next after he got injured. He is still very human, it's just that he 'resets' his injuries after each battle, making him ageless.

Quote from Cassandra
Playing Kurt the Nightcrawler: Specify the teleportation limits. Does he just think of a location and then he’d be there? Does he have to see where he wants to go? If Murphy aligns with my first guess, it would be pretty dangerous to think of anything before teleportation (e.g. I wonder how LOTR’s Mount Doom looks like from above, *poof* oops) XD. Does Murphy get confused before or after teleportation? Why does speed-of-light travel and teleportation mess him up? Don’t both abilities feel different to Murphy?


Woa!

1. Bingo!
2. Before.
3. Moving at the speed of light and teleporting are the same as moving from a previous location to a new location within a short amount of time. So, he usually think of them as the same ability, ending up WRONG, and fails the attempt most of the time.

Quote from Cassandra
Ultimate Power: He can control anything that emits light? That would make me think…wow, keep the moon and the sun away from Murphy at all times! Lol, what about the Northern Lights? Cars, buildings, flashlights, even lightning, give off some sort of glow. Venox and Nightwing’s eyes also glow red, so would he be able to control them too? Isn’t Nightwing’s spark breath attack something that emits light?


Uhm, how'd it got there? I'll change that too. But Murphy can absorb, store, process, and manipulate lights only (including lasers), Venox's eyes are excluded.

Quote from Cassandra
You hold light like this…: If Murphy creates light weapons, how does it happen? Do the weapons pop into existence before him? Do they appear in his hands? If they only solidify if Murphy holds them, do they turn back into light if they are knocked from his hands or remain hard? If they turn to light, do they just fall through the ground and vanish?


1. It happens like how Green Latern (DC Comics) does it- LIKE A BOSS!
2. Both is possible.
3. They can solidify if Murphy holds them or not, it's just that the ones he holds in his hands are harder than the rest (takes at least two arrows to shatter).
4. They levitate.

Quote from Cassandra
With no light comes absence of sight: If Murphy creates darkness for 10 seconds, would he be affected by it? How far away does the target have to be to be affected? Does it affect a radius around Murphy or fill up a narrow area before him? Does he have to see to aim it or is it a, “I-sense-you-behind-me-BLAM” type of thing? If he makes the darkness, does he get blinded too if he walks into it?


1. He is affected by it, with exception after he Morphs- glowing emerald eyes= NIGHT VISION!
2. 10 meters radius.

Quote from Cassandra
Solid burns: Murphy jacks up the heat of his weapons…and promptly burns his hands off. What? He can only use hot weapons in his morph form? :P Is that how it is? If he holds the weapons and heats them up while in human form, does that mean he’s invincible to the burn but the enemy isn’t? How is that possible? I don’t really get how he’s able to “heat his weapons with saturated heat from his laser.” Please explain! Also, if he takes heat from his laser, the laser takes up his strength, so what effect would that have on his ability to hold or control the weapon itself? He may just need a short moment of peace during combat to charge his weapon up, but then that’d probably leave him vulnerable to other attacks (if he gets weak after laser use).


1. You know how weapons work right? There's always a place where you hold it right? That particular place is not heated up.
2. He can make the weapons got as hot as lasers that's what I mean.
3. Using lasers tire him out. But it does have a 5 minutes cooldown. Besides, if it's tiring, he probably wouldn't use it too often.

Quote from Cassandra
Ambience Existence: What’s Murphy’s range of light manipulation? Can he control any type he can see? Perhaps seize a ray of sunlight and use it as a sword or something like that? If light pools in a certain area, can he grab that physically and throw it like a Frisbee? Is light weightless to him or does it have a certain weight if there is more of it around than a few sparkly areas? As for mental control, if Venox would be dumb enough to attack Murphy in a snowy area, does that mean Murphy would be able to tell all that light reflecting off the snow to attack his opponent?


1. BINGO!
2. Light is weightless to him except for the ones he holds.
3. The snow would melt before it even reflects to Venox :D

Quote from Cassandra
Behold Me 1, 2, 3, 4…: Okay. Three accurate versions of himself. Does that mean these three have all his abilities? If so, we’d have all three of them being able to also clone themselves, and those clones would be able to clone themselves, and then the clones of those ones…well you get the idea XD. He’d have an army of duplicates. If his morph form has his normal form’s abilities too, does that mean it can make three versions of itself as well?


1. No. Only the skills, speed, and things he currently have on him- Murphy holds an energy sword, three clones come out holding an energy sword.
2. Nope. That'll be too OP.

Quote from Cassandra
This CNC was based off the earlier message you sent me about your gladiator's abilities. I may not have been able to understand all of it correctly, but these are just my thoughts.


Hope you do now.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Lantern#Powers_and_abilities

Quote from Green Lantern- Wikipedia
The signature power of all Green Lanterns is the ability to conjure "constructs": solid green objects that the Green Lantern can control telekinetically. These can be anything, such as a disembodied fist to beat a foe, a shield to block an attack, a sword to cut a rope, or chains to bind a prisoner. Whatever their shape or size, these constructs are always pure green in color, unless a Lantern is skillful enough to know how to change the EM spectrum the construct emits. Hal Jordan has shown the ability to have a construct emit Kryptonite radiation under Batman's guidance.

I almost always think about a characters maximum potential in a serious situation. I think it's just that when you add "Limitless" to a character, their full potential can be pretty damn devastating.

He's an Op, not a killer. There's no reason for him to reach his maximum potential isn't it?

Well, if he's getting his ass seriously kicked, that's a reason. Another reason is that he's up against someone really powerful. Lastly, I guess that we always portray our opponent's trump cards when writing our battle.

Personality:

Void.


He'll get his ass kicked no matter what. Did you know the ending for Halo: Reach? The last of the Noble Six just fight till he dies, getting shot all over and still try his best to survive, in the end, he died. Though he got his ass seriously kicked, he doesn't cares.

@Matthew Murphy: Adjust your character as much as you like, and when you're ready... BRING IT ON!

:D

Note that it might take a little time for me to submit my entry, partly because I list all opponent abilities and make a combat outline, which I would edit quite a bit. Once the outline is done, the actual battle work follows. Of course, this means I need a complete challenger, and Venox went through quite a lot of CnC before coming to battle-ready status.

WTH! I have no idea what happened! This might be a trick of Azure or Hewitt but I'll get it fixed after I got on my computer...

Btw, ignore my message in the Halls, I probably should've check this thread firsr before moving to this...

Hewitt's Ex-mod and this is not Azure's domain. Besides, it did say that it was your edit. You must've botched it somehow.

maybe your stuff just edged itself out of your computer screen when you weren't looking lol

I keep my wRHG profile saved in a word document just in case, you should do that too so you can avoid this kinda thing in future
