Murphy's Maw

**Debut** | TBA

**Murphy's Maw** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Terribilis'Horribilis-Nobonumvaldemalusdie from the planet Putridumlentamalamfortuna, orbiting the planet of Regiis-Reptilium. She is a free-use alien originally made by WTB.

## Appearance

Murphy's Maw is a feminine reptilian humanoid with amphibious features, mostly covered in smooth dark bluish gray scales, while her clawed fingers and toes are a darker midnight blue. Murphy's Maw lacks any sort of visible reptilian snout, instead having a flat face with very small nostrils, almond-shaped eyes with triangular red pupils, spiked eyebrows, and very short hair, the last two of which matches the darker blue of her claws, with the same also said for the circular disc-shaped protrusion piercing through the tip of her tail, resembling a large facial piercing. She has five fingers on each hand, three toes on each foot with a very short fourth toe emerging from each raised heel, and most notably, an enormous maw of sharp triangular teeth encompassing the entire front of her abdominal cavity, complete with its own tongue and throat. Her outfit consists of a gray top with a triangular neckline and extremely short sleeves resting at the top of her shoulders, along with gray shorts, loincloth, and leggings, all of which being bordered with red stripes.

Murphy's Maw wears the Simplicitrix on her face over her mouth would be.

## Personality

Murphy's Maw is a very unreactive and deadpan individual, displaying very little emotion, having a dull sense of humor, and being slow to realize any misfortune that she causes through her abilities despite fully knowing her own capabilities, most likely due to the fact that whatever it is never even has the opportunity to come in contact with her to begin with. Despite her subdued attitude, Murphy's Maw can quickly recognize and react to incoming danger when it reveals itself.

## Powers

* Murphy's Maw can redirect all misfortune and negative instances of probability that she experiences to somewhere else within her immediate vicinity, giving her the illusion of constantly being lucky, when in actuality, she instead only misplaces her bad luck onto other people and objects. For as long as it threatens her wellbeing, nothing can harm Murphy's Maw, whether it may be physical injuries and wounds, inflicted sicknesses and illnesses, or certain powers and abilities that intend to harm her through indirect effects, such as enclosing her within a circle of intense fire to try and suffocate her through smoke inhalation. Through concentration, Murphy's Maw can attain "ultimate invincibility," where even metaphysical powers, like space-time manipulation, would be pushed away from her.
	+ Murphy's Maw can use her misfortune redirection to create devastating domino effects, performing just one minor action that would cause her surroundings to completely fall into complete and utter chaos. The worse that her domino effects become, the more her own power will increase, making her bigger and stronger the more misfortune they cause.
* Murphy's Maw can breathe out "Bose–Einstein condensates" from her abdominal mouth, existing as a unique state of matter, where a gas of bosons at very low densities is cooled very close to absolute zero temperatures.
* Murphy's Maw can secrete a flammable mucus from her skin for different purposes, as allowing it to dry can render her skin sticky and adhesive, allowing her to adhere onto solid surfaces, and instead keeping it wet can make her skin slick and frictionless, allowing her to glide across flat surfaces with ease.
* Murphy's Maw has enhanced biting and senses, specifically smell and taste, on top of her sharp teeth and claws.

## Weaknesses

* Murphy's Maw cannot deactivate her misfortune redirection, making it passive by nature, nor can it always affect something that causes any sort of harm, whether it may be direct or indirect, towards her, preventing her from precisely reflecting attacks back at them, and meaning unless her allies can stay far enough away from her at all times, they won't be affected by her misfortune.
* Murphy's Maw's domino effects can sometimes prematurely resolve themselves through sheer coincidence, and can also be negated through opponents capable of probability manipulation.
* In a similar instance to Entropic Punch and Supershadyfragiballisticexpialispacious, Murphy's Maw doesn't fully understand how exactly his Bose-Einstein condensate breath functions due to the complicated nature of the associated subject, and cannot get close to study it due to the fact that slightest exposure to body heat would cause the condensate to heat up, effectively destroying it.
* The flammable preporties of Murphy's Maw's mucus can be used against her allies, as igniting it while it clings to her can cause her to redirect the misfortune of burning onto the nearest people and objects, causing them to burn.

## Etymology

* Murphy's Maw's name is a play on "Murphy's law," a popular adage meaning anything that can go wrong will go wrong, referencing her abilities of causing misfortune around her, and "maw."
* Murphy's Maw's species name is the Latin translation of "terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day," referencing the 1972 children's book, *Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day*.
* Murphy's Maw's planet name is the Latin translation of "rotten, tough, bad luck," all of which are adjectives for misfortune.

## Trivia

* Murphy's Maw's dark blush gray color scheme references Sharkboy from *The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D*, due to the similarities of his costume having a large mouth of sharp teeth on it in a similar fashion to Murphy's Maw's abdomen.
* Murphy's Maw's misfortune redirection, and how it sometimes has no effect and can simply resolve itself, was unintentionally inspired by the *Fate's Hand* Semblance of Pyke Rite from *RWBY: The Grimm Campaign*.
* Like Tantrum, Breath Penalty, Amphiptheater, Stomache, Skellerina, Kitty Splitter, MaTrix, Capturrific, Liesight, Dovahskiin, KobOld Fashioned, Titty Titty Bang Bang, Kanjiration, Headstrong, Pretzelcoatl, Liczard, Thunder Thighs, Cindurance, Defenderm, Draguardian Angel, Draconomaly, and Primalfunction, Murphy's Maw comes from the same planet as Dragon Queen, mainly originating from one of their planet's moons, explaining the similarities in design, abilities, and the fact all of them are exclusively female due to their genetic similarities.
	+ However, while Dragon Queen is a humanoid dragon, Murphy's Maw is a humanoid salamander, not having any extraordinary or remarkable features that would give her a draconic appearance, more so resembling an ordinary salamander opposed to a mythical one with her small nostrils, smooth skin, and short stature, outside of her clawed extremities and short tail, referencing how Murphy's Maw is arguably the weakest species on Regiis-Reptilium.
