He generally wears suits when in public and often seems somewhat disheveld with his short hair uncombed and his 5-days beard unshaven.<br/><br/>More noticeably, however, are his round tinted glasses and his white and red cane that he uses to move around in the world, clear signs that Matt Murdock is blind.<br/><br/>Without his glasses, Murdock's blue eyes are extremely pale and his blindness is evident. His expression often seems wistful and he may appear to be daydreaming to an observer, however, this may simply be due to the fact his gaze appears unfocused because of his blindness.<br/><br/><strong>Powers: </strong><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Heightened senses:</span><br/>All of Murdock's senses have been heightened by his mutation.

He is also unable to distinguish colors.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Human condition: </span><br/>Despite his training and abilities, Murdock is only human. He is mortal and can suffer crippling injuries, become exhausted, ill, etc. He also requires oxygen, food, water and regular sleep to survive.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Depression: </span><br/>Matt Murdock has been diagnosed with depression and may sometimes suffer depressive episodes.<br/><br/><strong>Equipment:</strong><br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Kevlar Daredevil costume</li><li>Billy Club: Daredevil's billy club is a multi-purpose weapon.

It can also be used as either as a baton or a cable. </li></ul><br/><strong>History: </strong><br/><br/>The story of Matt Murdock began with his father. Jonathan "Battling Jack" Murdock raised his son alone, claiming Matt's mother had died. Jack wanted his son to be more successful than him. He impressed upon Matt the need to constantly study instead of playing sports with other kids. Jack hoped that Matt would become a doctor or a lawyer instead of an "uneducated pug" like himself. This led the neighborhood kids to bully the "cowardly" Matt as "Daredevil." Matt took out his frustrations by secretly training in his father's gym.<br/><br/>One day, Matt saw a blind man walking towards an oncoming truck. Matt pushed the man out of the way. The truck crashed and a radioactive isotope spilled out, striking Matt across the face and blinding him. While recovering in the hospital, Matt discovered his hearing, smell, taste, and touch were amplified to superhuman degrees. He also developed a "radar sense" that formed a mental picture of his surroundings.<br/><br/>A few months later, Matt received training from the ninja master Stick. From Stick, Matt learned how to control his new abilities and honed his skills in acrobatics and martial arts.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Jack Murdock was desperate to fight. He reluctantly joined with a crooked fight promoter known as the "Fixer." The Fixer set up Jack to be a heavyweight contender, just to have him take a dive. Jack refused and won his fight. Later that night, Jack Murdock was shot dead by the Fixer and his men.<br/><br/>Matt continued his studies and entered Columbia Law School. At Columbia, Matt met and fell in love with Elektra Natchios. It was a first love for both of them. When Elektra's father was accidentally killed by the police, she retreated from the world and from Matt.<br/><br/>Matt earned his law degree and landed a job at a major law firm. He returned to Hell's Kitchen and to his father's old gym. There he met a young girl staying there named Mickey. They got close to each other and he trained her. He also ran into Foggy Nelson, a fellow law student, while he was there. He helped him with some of his cases. Meanwhile, Mickey ended up being kidnapped by people working for the Kingpin. Matt tracked them down and rescued Mickey. Because of that he missed an appointment for work and was fired.<br/><br/>Matt opened a practice, Nelson and Murdock, with Franklin "Foggy" Nelson. Karen Page was hired by Foggy as their secretary. Karen was attracted to Matt, and found it a pity that such a wonderful, handsome man could be so handicapped. Matt made a red and black costume out of his father's old boxing robes and continued to fight crime as Daredevil.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong><br/><br/>Daredevil was a morally righteous individual with a strong sense of law and justice. This also influenced him to become a lawyer. Daredevil objected to total violence and preferred to keep his enemies alive and thus defeated them rather than killed them; however, Daredevil did have a dark side, and would not hesitate to badly injure foes under certain circumstances, often when he was under a period of stress.<br/><br/>As a young lad, Matthew was instilled with high morals by his father, Jack, who encouraged the boy to focus on his studies and not to play or fight with other kids. Matt took his father's lessons to heart and was thought to be an exemplary of good nature by figures of authority. Despite all this Matt did have a mischievous side and one occasion stole the baton of a police officer. Matt was incredibly selfless which led to him performing many heroic deeds in his life, such as saving a blind man from an oncoming truck, which lead to Matt's blindness. In the early stages of his disability Matt suffered increased frustration, feelings of helplessness, and self-loathing; however, due to training under Stick, Matt managed to conquer the struggles which boosted his confidence and he eventually developed a fearless attitude.<br/><br/>As an attorney, Murdock tends to act as a defender of the 'little man', often providing legal assistance against corporations or wealthy people. In particular, he often finds himself at odds with promoters who seek to evict poorer tenants of dilapidated apartment buildings in Hell's Kitchen in order to gentrify the neighborhood. He does not hesitate to utilize his Daredevil persona for this purpose as well.<br/><br/>As Daredevil, he has displayed a heavy sense of humor and snarky remarks in various life-threatening situations, especially early in his career.<br/><br/>Throughout his long tenure, however, his various trials have made Daredevil a grimmer and less light-hearted vigilante.<br/><br/>Despite all his great virtues, Daredevil is not without his flaws, and has shown extreme ruthlessness especially when those close to him have been threatened or targeted by his enemies. Matt also suffered from severe clinical depression, which has led him to indulge himself in self-destructive tendencies.<br/><br/>== Character Extras =<br/>Played By: Charlie Cox<br/>Face Claim:  (https://i.imgur.com/3bIq1uu.png)<br/>Ons:  As per player<br/>Offs: As per player<br/>
