Murphy Blue

Well known for his unique ropework, creative performances, bouncy demeanor, and intense love for Transformers, Murphy Blue has been bringing his kink knowledge and signature style wherever he could since the turn of the century. A self-claimed "American Rigger", Murphy tries to focus not just on the *hows* of tying, but the frequently forgotten *whys*. The interplay of people and energy through rope and gestures is something that should be passed along, and Murphy does his best to assist with that. He travels with the lovely ladies of "Team Blue", sharing insight, gaining knowledge, and saving the world, one knot at a time.
There is a tale of him being trapped and his only chance to survive was to suspend multiple women to please a dark council. When asked about this, Murphy only smiles.
