(mother, ???); Jack Murdock, boxer (paternal grandfather, deceased); Sister Maggie Murdock, nun (paternal grandmother, 73).<br/><strong>Current Base of Operations</strong>: Freedom City, Maryland, USA<br/><strong>Extent of Education</strong>: Law Student, Bachelors of Criminal Justice<br/><strong>Religion</strong>: Catholic (semi-practicing)<br/><strong>Group Affiliation</strong>: The Liberators (Modern Age)<br/><strong><br/>Background Information/Origin</strong>: Born daughter to one of the greatest superheroes of an age to an unknown mother, Karen was, unexpectedly, born blind, despite her father's sight not being a genetic defect, but, rather, a result of the same accident which gave him his powers. To put her at even more of a disadvantage, unlike her father, whose other senses were enhanced to superhuman levels, Karen's were merely exceptional. Still, raised by a loving and understanding (if sometimes demanding and overprotective) single father (her mother was never mentioned by her father, and she never worked up the courage to ask him), Karen grew up to be an exceptional young lady, intelligent, driven, and possessed of a strong sense of justice.<br/><br/>Then, on her eighteenth birthday, something miraculous happened-- she became able to see. And, more than that, she gained powers of her own. Though learning to live with sight was disorienting at she soon began training to take up her father's mantle as defender of the innocent and oppressed.<br/><br/>However, just one year after beginning her training and gaining her powers, Karen lost something even more important than her sight: with no warning, her father suddenly and mysteriously disappeared without a trace. Hard as she and his old friends tried to find him, nothing was found.<br/><br/>Burying herself in work, Karen furiously pushed herself to her limits to finish her training as quickly as possible under the tutelage of some of her father's oldest and best friends in the superhero community until finally, after another year of training, she was deemed ready and worthy to don the colors of her father to fight crime.<br/><br/>For the next four years, Karen was a student in pre-law by day, and the masked vigilante Darkdevil by night, cleaning up the crime-ridden section of Manhattan known as Hell's Kitchen. Though they grew bold and lazy in the year-long absence of any masked hero in their turf, the criminals of Hell's Kitchen quickly learned to fear the formidable young heroine, who proved herself worthy of the title "The Woman Without Fear".<br/><br/>However, recently, hearing rumors that old enemies of her father might have connections in Freedom City, and still hoping to find him, or at least discover what happened to him, Karen has come to Freedom City as a student at the prestigious local law school, bringing her own methods and tactics, honed in the dark back-alleys of Hell’s Kitchen, to Freedom City.<br/><br/><strong>Known Meta-Human Abilities</strong>:<br/>-<em>Evil eye</em>: This power of Darkdevil’s is perhaps the one that has earned her the most infamy among her enemies in Hell’s Kitchen, though word of it has yet to reach Freedom City. Around her, things simply seem to go wrong for villains. Guns jamb. Shots go wild. Legs get tangled and cause cowards to fall when they flee. Some call it superstition. But others suspect the truth: Darkdevil is able to inflict bad luck on her opponents with but a glance.<br/><br/><strong>Particularities, Limitations, and Weaknesses</strong>:<br/>-<em>Evil Eye</em>: Though even in her time in Hell’s Kitchen the criminal underworld didn’t figure out her limitations, her evil eye does have a weakness: Unless her opponents can see her, she cannot use her power on them.<br/>-<em>Sensitive</em>: Just as her father before her was sensitive to sonic-based attacks and loud sounds, so, too, are Karen’s exceptionally acute senses sometimes a weakness for her, making it easy for attacks against her senses, particularly sight and touch, to overwhelm her.<br/><br/><strong>Equipment, Weapons and Paraphernalia</strong>: Darkdevil wears a costume much like her father's, though obviously tailored to her more... feminine physique. The majority of the suit is a dark, blood red, while the gloves, boots-- the heels of which add about another inch to her height--, sash, and interlocking DD on her chest are all black. The back of her cowl lets out her dark hair. The suit itself is made of a material not unlike that used by some of her father's colleagues and is extremely resilient.<br/><br/>Her weapon of choice is a billy club, much like that wielded by her father. This multi-purpose weapon can extend to form a quarterstaff, and can also be split into two parts and used like nunchaku. Finally, it can also be used as a thrown weapon. Additionally, within it, the billy club contains thirty feet of aircraft control cable connected to a case-hardened steel grapnel. Internal mechanisms allow the cable to be neatly wound and unwound, while a powerful spring launches the grapnel.<br/><br/><strong>Skills, Talents, Hobbies, and Abilities</strong>: Being a law student is time consuming. Being a law student and a costumed vigilante is even moreso. As such, Karen doesn’t have much time for hobbies what free time she does have she spends training and studying, only rarely going out on dates or to social events. However, her training does make her an extremely skilled acrobat and martial artist. Furthermore, due to the acuity of her senses, she’s quick to pick up details, both about objects and body language.  Finally, due to her studies to become a lawyer, she has a fair grip on the nuances of the legal system, though she is far from being as knowledgeable about it as her father was.<br/><br/><strong>Physical Information</strong>:<br/><strong>Ethnic Group</strong>: Irish/???<br/><strong>Gender</strong>: Female<br/><strong>Sexual Orientation</strong>: Bisexual (2 on the Kinsey Scale)<br/><strong>Age</strong>: 24 (6/23/1985)<br/><strong>Height</strong>: 5' 07"<br/><strong>Weight</strong>: 143 lbs.<br/><strong>Hair Color</strong>: Brunette<br/><strong>Eye Color</strong>: Hazel<br/><strong>Physical Appearance</strong>: Karen Murdock is an attractive looking 24 yr old female of mixed descent in excellent physical condition for a girl her age, height and build who engages in rigorous regular exercise on a daily basis.<br/><strong>Distinguishing Characteristics</strong>: Karen is a beautiful young woman of mixed ancestry that makes it hard to distinguish exactly what she’s comprised of. Regardless, she is very attractive, her curvy body and long dancer’s legs only made more attractive by her athletic build. Her skin is bronzed, and her hair brunette with chestnut highlights. Typically, when going to class or interviews she’ll wear it in a bun, but when in casual situations, she likes to experiment with it, often trying out various hairstyles. For utility, however, her hair is always pulled back into a ponytail when she assumes her Darkdevil persona.<br/><strong>Normal Attire</strong>: Typically when attending classes, Karen prefers to at least appear semi-professional, wearing button-down shirts, suit pants, and vests. In her free time, however, due to her tactile sensitivity, she prefers minimal clothing, often wearing short-shorts or mini-skirts along with T-shirts, and, if she isn’t going to be meeting anyone, is just as likely to go without undergarments as with. However, in the colder months, it should be noted, she tends to try to bundle up considerably more, often wearing multiple layers to keep out the cold. On the rare occasions when she goes clubbing, she tends to prefer single-piece dresses with the skirt going down to about the knee, or a little higher.<br/><strong>Costume Description</strong>: Darkdevil wears a costume much like her father's, though obviously tailored to her more... feminine physique.
