Character Basics
Name: Matthew Michael Murdock
Alias: Daredevil
Age: 24
Sex: Male
Allegiance: Justice
Powers: Daredevil is completely blind but his remaining senses act with superhuman precision: He can feel the imprints of ink on newsprint, allowing him to read without the need for Braille; he can determine, to the same extent as a polygraph test, whether someone's heart rate, sweat secretions and other evidence suggest he or she is lying; he can follow a scent like a bloodhound; and he can taste the finest differences in food and drink. He can also determine the shape and location of objects around him by means of a 360-degree "radar sense".

Hair Colour: Red
Eye Colour: Blue
Personality: Matthew Murdock sees nearly everything in the eyes of law whether it be crime or everyday life. Although he knows how to have a good time he rarely does, as his crime fighting activities and law work usually get in the way. He’s also viewed as a loner with nobody to talk to but those closest to him. Many people generally pity Matt because of his blindness and always tend to treat him nicely and with caution. Others, however, can tell that something secret is within Matt. Because of his loss and pain over the years, Matt’s grief is also shown in fighting which is somewhat violent and makes others unsure of whether he’s a hero or a villain. Whatever the cost, Matt is always there to help his friends and primarily fight for justice no matter who or what gets in his way.
History: As a child, Matt Murdock is splashed by some radioactive material in a road accident, and is blinded. He learns to overcome this disability, and develops a form of sixth sense, that allows him to 'see' by using sound waves to create a mental image of his surroundings. His father is murdered by the Kingpin , and Murdock vows that he will avenge him.
Years later, and Murdock works as an attorney in Hell's Kitchen, becoming the vigilante known as Daredevil at night. He seeks out and punishes those that he cannot harm in the courtroom. He fights crime in solitude, until he meets Elektra. Murdock warms to Elektra, and they become acquainted with each other. After Elektra's father is killed by the Kingpin's assassin, Bullseye, she believes the murderer to be Daredevil, and she seeks him out. Armed with two Sai, she locates him and bests him in a fight. She realises who Daredevil is behind the mask, and so she fights with Bullseye, who kills her. Daredevil avenges Elektra's death, and supposedly kills Bullseye, by throwing him through the church window, landing on a cop's car. He then brings the fight to the Kingpin, beating him in combat. Daredevil spares the Kingpin, who promises him that he will be released from prison eventually. After a small bit of credits, we see Bullseye in a hospital wing, slowly recovering.
Murdock deals with the moral implications of being a vigilante, and tries to prove that he isn't the villain.
Sample RP
The temperature, decreased. The sound of light switches. The smell of worn out people.
It was night.
Matthew Murdock was standing on the rooftops, his mask and costume clinging to his skin and the evening breeze slapping his face. His hand was tightly gripped to his Billy club and the sounds of a Thursday evening were plaguing him. After everything that had happened recently, Matthew didn’t know who to turn to or cling onto.
What was it that was constantly attacking his mind?
Elektra. She’s dead. And Matthew couldn’t stop thinking that it was that person’s fault. That person who had consumed his life. That person who was in the middle pages of the daily bugle (behind Spiderman’s section) almost everyday. That person who’s name was Daredevil. Elektra was dead and nothing would bring her back. Was that the truth?
“No.” Matt whispered.
Was it the truth?
“No!”
Was it?!
“NO!” Matt cried, although it came out like a whimper as he fell to the floor in sadness.
The sadness was swept away as the sound of sirens filled his mind. Duty called.
Standing up, his once shrivelled form now gave the emulation of heroism. He took a step forward, utilising his unique radar sense that pinpointed a lamppost more vividly than a normal sighted human. With this, Matthew Murdock jumped, letting the rushing wind and sound engulf him.
He was justice in Hell’s Kitchen.
He was the Man who may have led to Elektra’s death.
He was the Man without fear.
He was Daredevil!
