» Murphy had been in Eudio for about 4 or 5 months, and had been fairly cagey for that time period, didn't expand out terribly far, and was sort of constantly braced for everything to fall apart (so, Xist kind of confirms his paranoia). The follow are the important relationships he fostered.
» Clarke Griffin + Bellamy Blake; while they were both canon mates, Murphy's relationship with them both was far from ideal even at his canon point, and especially at theirs, as they were earlier than him. However, they had become much closer in the time they spent together. Bellamy became a sort of go-to for Murphy's drunken angst fits, and while they were far from tender with each other, Bellamy had given him a bed to sleep off his drunkenness on and had him drink water and all those motherly things. They spoke a bit about more personally issues (mostly Murphy did, while Bellamy listened), and Bell had been the only one he opened up to about Emori. His relationship with Clarke, while still a bit tense, had become more friendly, her patching up his wounds when he arrived, and him making chicken soup for her while they were both sick, hanging out in Bellamy's apartment. He is actually sad to have left them behind, while in Xist, which is saying something for John Murphy.
» Joseph Kavinsky; was Murphy's closest friend and probably one of all of 3 lovers? The only one he'd been with more than once. Also, his first gay sex experience. There's a lot of similarities in Murphy and K's personalities and world view that he finds relief in being around, considering his entire life in canon was people calling him a criminal and nothing more, and scorning him for making choices for his survival, and being more morally grey than the rest, despite not actually being that horrible of a person at the core of it. He doesn't trust Kavinsky, per say, but he does believe him reliable in his lack of virture, and finds his company to be incredibly relaxing and easy to be around. He'd developed a gross, gross crush on this boy, but is aware that he's not the love of K's life, so he's not expecting it to go anywhere, really.
» Lex/The Lone Wanderer; Another lover, though they didn't do too much. They talked about guns and apocalypse survival a lot, and went to a hot spring, and had a similarity in survival attitudes that Murphy really valued. He did have more in the way of moral ambiguity than her, though, and that was something he hid from most people he knew in Eudio, outside of K, and canon mates (as they already knew the worst of him).
» Katniss Everdeen; they spoke briefly, once, over text, but it was a pretty heavy conversation, sharing the horrors of their worlds and their outlooks on them. Murphy finds her intelligent, resourceful and courageous. He's glad to have her here, if she apps.
» Aaron Minyard; They'd made out in a club at one point, and Aaron had his I'm Not Gay freak out, and Murphy was like okay, dude, whatever, and moved on with life. But, apparently, Aaron made Murphy the center of his gay dilemma and kept showing up for make out sessions, followed by running off in a fit. Murphy refused to do anything with him while he was drunk, or drunk enough that he couldn't pass a field sobriety test, but some shenanigans did occur. Currently, they're still really on the rocks, but Murphy's not going out of his way to mess with this kid, or get attached.
» Vex; A brief convo about how weird Vex's kink life is and how Eudio's probably going to fall to shit one day.
» Rafa; He's a vampire and Murphy made him mad by saying he doesn't want to be around him in case he gets hungry. They don't get along well. At all. But he's Kavinsky's mom, soooo. Awk.
That's really all the important ones. As far as his growth, he really didn't have the time to go through much, and he hadn't opened up about really any of the trauma he'd been through at home, at all, so really not much development from his canon point as of yet.
