Name: Matt Murdock
Canon: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Age: 30
Appearance: Matt is six feet tall with a slim but muscular build. He has red hair that runs to the copper side and blue eyes filmed over with cataracts. His clothing runs to either cheap but well fitted suits and solid colored ties or sweatpants, hoodies and socks if he's at home. He sometimes carries a red and white cane and wears red glasses out of respect for seeing people, but he doesn't always need them.
Canon Point: Post Daredevil Season Three
Background: Matt's History
Personality:
Matt was raised Catholic and even though he doesn't regularly attend church his faith informs every aspect of his life. He always does the right then and looks out for those who cannot or will not look out for themselves. He is stubborn to a fault, but always willing to listen and take suggestions when he knows he needs help. He knows that what he does at night is dangerous, but Matt believes other people's lives are much more important then his own and he's willing to risk everything in pursuit of a goal.
Matt is a very moral person, he sees the world in black and white and believes that most of the rest of the world does too. To him bad guys are bad, good guys are good and innocent people deserve to be protected. It pisses him off to no end when people don't see the world the same way he does, but he never tries to push his thoughts and opinions on people. He will however lose his temper with his loved ones when they are doing something dangerous without feeling guilty about it later.
He also feels loss and pain deeply. He agonizes over his every failure and mourns to the point of tears when someone he cares about dies. Matt questions almost every day if running his own law firm and trying to save the world as Daredevil is the right thing to do or if he's better off working as a partner in some larger firm. Matt is very charming and while he enjoys having company, he also understands that the danger in his life makes a steady relationship isn't possible., but that doesn't stop him from hoping he'll find someone to share his life one day.

Aliens...Seriously okay then
Jun. 4th, 2020 09:55 am Matt hadn't gone to the bar with the other Legends for various reasons. One he didn't know most of them well yet and two loud music and Matt's senses do not get along especially when it's a bar he didn't know well. The Legends who didn't realize this yet tried to drag him along, but John calmly shot it down. So Matt was enjoying a quiet night chatting with Gideon and patching up his armor in the lab when Sara's heart beat just stopped. Not slowed down, not muted...just gone.
John knew the second the group go back to that something had happened because Matt Murdock rarely got pissed off enough to show it. Matt's anger was normally a quiet thing given the young man knew his temper and knew how to reign it in. So to see his friend practically vibrating with fury means big trouble. "Where is Sara," Matt asked his tone making it clear he's not moving until he gets his answer The Legends look around and it dawns on them that their captain is not with them.
Matt adds in that quietly furious tone looking right at John. "Her heartbeat is gone John," he says, "not slow, not labored, it's gone." John blinks trying to process what the lawyer is telling him. "Gone," John asks knowing that the last time Matt admitted something like this it was because the person was dead but still walking around. Matt nods. "One second it was here and the next gone," Matt confirms, "not sure if she's...well...or something else. I just know I can't hear her anymore."
John swapped from gently drunk and relaxed to instantly on guard while Ava moves into asking Gideon to scan for Sara. "Anything else," he asks Matt knowing how sharp the young man's hearing is even when he's monitoring his friends. Matt thinks trying to focus in on what he picked up on. "There was a weird hum.....almost like.....the transporter noise from Star Trip....but different....deeper."
John nods and starts walking even as Ava yells at him to stop sensing where he's heading. Matt follows along, knowing John well enough to know what he's thinking. John trusts Matt's senses better than technology and isn't willing to wait. They are going to track Sara in their own way and the others can either be on board or let them go.

IN CHARACTER
Name: Matthew Michael Murdock
Canon: Marvel Cinematic Universe: Netflix's Daredevil
Canon Point: Toward the end of Defender's episode 1x8 plus six months of CRAU
Age: 37
History: Canon history is here. His previous game was Pathema and he spent six months there in terms of the people he will know and the canons he came across. Matt arrived on the island and came face-to-face with several people from home including Frank Castle, Karen Page and Luke Cage. He was forced to face the awkwardness of his actions back in New York and the painful loss of his first love Elektra.
Matt spent six months in the game as a pawn of the god Eros and at first he resisted the need for sexual contact. Because of this resistance, Matt allowed his collar to tighten into the danger zone before asking for help. Even once he eased into day-to-day life on the island, Matt resisted the urge to find sexual partners beyond people he knew or women he felt comfortable around. Then he met Luke Skywalker and they formed a instant bond. Matt found himself drawn to Luke over and over again even though he knew forming such a permanent connection was dangerous in Eros' world.
But Matt fell in love with Luke anyway, despite his own history and that of his new situation. He did have moments of doubt as he explored his new sexuality given his Catholic upbringing. Loving Luke eased these fears and Matt fell more and more in love with the young Jedi the more time they spent together. Telling Luke how he felt was one of the best days of his life and when Luke was sent home, Matt fell apart and asked that he be sent home as well, believing life without Luke wasn't worth staying on the island for.
Personality:
Matt's morality is the strongest part of his personality. Having been raised Catholic, Matt uses his faith to inform how he sees the world and how he interacts with people. To Matt, black is black and white is white. He struggles to understand people who see the world in shades of gray even as he admits life allows for moral flexibility. The biggest example of this is his relationship with Frank Castle. Matt believes killing people as a form of justice is wrong, and he spends almost an entire night chained to a chimney talking to Frank about his actions despite Frank believing otherwise. Matt believes you should only use other means to exact justice when the legal system has failed you, and then you should only use those actions to bring the wrong-doer back into the legal system to face the justice they escaped.
Matt is stubborn, which can lead to him being unwilling to see the other side of an argument when he believes he is in the right. He is always the person who fights to save innocent people from the corrupt and dangerous side of New York City. When Matt's stubborn nature clashes with other people's needs, Matt’s actions can often lead to disaster. His toxic relationship with Elektra is a good example of this. Matt is so focused on saving her that he risks his own life to try and turn her back to the light. His single-minded nature leads to his own death even though Matt knows his friends are waiting for him to come back home.
Unlike many Marvel heroes who tend to hide their emotions, Matt is the complete opposite, deeply emotional and very open about sharing them. He cries in front of people, gets furiously angry and falls in love faster and harder than most people. He sees no shame in this, because his father always taught him that sharing emotions was healthy and something to be expressed with people you cared about. He is also a very forgiving person, willing to give anyone who hurts him a second or third chance despite what they might have done to him. He is also deeply loyal to everyone he considers a friend, willingly giving up being Daredevil when his friends Karen and Foggy ask him to, and even as he struggles to let go of his heroic identity.
Matt has a very low sense of self-worth due to his upbringing. He is proud he pulled himself up by his bootstraps, but he also feels as though he has never escaped the loss of his family. This leads him to place more value on other people’s lives than his own and put the feelings of both his friends and enemies first, while at the same time dismissing his own pain. He also struggles to forgive himself, often turning to the church to do it for him.
Matt is a very charming and charismatic individual. He flirts shamelessly with people he is attracted to and makes friends very easily. His friend Foggy has commented on this several times, mentioning that Matt can find beautiful women in any room and zero in on them. While Matt flirts openly and easily, he gets awkward when people flirt with him, unsure of how to react when someone else, man or woman, makes the first move. He has a sharp sense of humor and he's able to make fun of himself and others without being cruel.
Because he has been blind for so long, Matt is able to deal with awkward reactions to his disability with grace and gentle amusement. He freely admits that he wishes he could see again, but he is also aware that being blind has made him a much stronger person. When he makes friends, Matt gravitates to other outcasts and he hates bullies with a passion, because he remembers what it was like to be an outcast himself. He is also quick to call people out for stupid behavior even while he commits those same stupid actions himself. He never forces his morals on anyone else and he never lectures people unless he's sure they are willing to listen first.
Abilities/Skills:
Strengths
Weaknesses
Items:
Matt will be arriving wearing the Daredevil armor sans the helmet which is in Midland Circle. He will also have his bully clubs which can turn into his cane in a pinch. He will also be coming in very bruised and battered with a stab wound on his left side and with broken ribs from the collapse of Midland Circle, so he will need medical care as soon as he arrives.
SAMPLES
Network Sample:
[Matt appears on the network looking confused and unhappy. He's leaning against a metal wall and looking upward. He has no idea the device has turned itself on and even if he did he wouldn't care much. He's lost, a broken man and looking for some sort of guidance from somewhere. His hands move as if he is counting beads on a rosary as he speaks in a soft, shattered tone.]
I don't know if you can hear me this far out of in space, but I have no one else to turn to and I need help.
[Matt takes a deep breath and his voice becomes firmer as he speaks as if he's drawing strength from the familiar words.]
Why, God... why have you asked me to give up so much, when I get hardly anything in return? You gift me with powers and when I use them, people I love get hurt. You give me a loving heart only to break it over and over again. What do you want from me? What is my place in all this?
[Matt slams his fist down on the floor and winces when it hurts.]
Why can't my life just make sense? Have you deserted me because I didn't follow the path Stick set me on? Did you not give human beings free will so they could make their own choices? I have tried to live my life as a man of faith, but it doesn't seem like it's ever enough. So please... tell me what you want from me. Give me a sign... any kind of sign. Just so that I know you're still there.
[His voice drops again back into that soft shattered tone.]
Please.

Feel free to tell me how I'm doing you know you want to.
Matt was hyper aware of everything going on in Hell's Kitchen down to knowing where every last rat was at any given time. So when an unknown person entered what he knew to be an empty warehouse, Matt followed them. He was on edge because of Fisk and he believed it was better to be safe then sorry. He leaped from roof top to roof top until he reached the right building. The man had a distinct smell of metal and fear and it was practically screaming "I'M RIGHT HERE"
Sliding into the building through an upper window, Matt padded down to the main floor of the former workshop on silent feet. He followed the scent to one of the smaller rooms and stopped dead. He couldn't be sensing what he was sensing it wasn't possible. He waited hoping the man would speak first and Matt could ask him the foremost question on his mind. "Why?"

Welcome Home Jesse Quick
May. 29th, 2016 06:33 pmMatt would realize later he smelled the portal before it opened. He was still getting used to how his hyper senses worked. He dashed out of his office and raced to the room he'd had blocked off after Harry and Jesse and the others had been pulled through it. It had hurt to do, but Harry had made it clear that he didn't want Zoom following them and Matt had done what he had to do to. He missed Jesse every and he freely admitted he was in over his head trying to keep STAR afloat without Harry.
He flung open the door to the portal room as three people came stumbling through. Two he knew, Harry and Jesse...the third was completely new but he was running forward to grab Jesse and Harry into hard hugs. "Oh my God," he said.

Matt and Mags
Apr. 30th, 2016 09:18 pmMatt knew he shouldn't have been sneaking around the Victors Village. It was stupid and risky, but he was hungry and the last time he'd managed to get away with a whole loaf of fresh bread. He ducked under the window sniffing the air and listening hard for trouble. He knew he was risking a lot just to eat, but it wasn't like there was much more a blind guy could do without signing up for more chances and Matt liked living too much to be early canon fodder for the Games. He reached up to the window sill and started to lift and twist himself into the window. The Victor who lived here was old and would never notice him taking a little bit more food.
After the Sorrow is Over
Apr. 29th, 2016 10:32 pmMatt was furious, a deep burning anger that in a lesser man might had led to an awkward situation for people at the funeral. But he was back and Thea and Laurel's apartment on the couch and trying to sooth his upset girlfriend while resisting the urge to punch said girlfriend idiot brother in the face. He rested his chin on Thea's hair and breathed in her perfume."We don't have to stay here any longer you need to,"he muttered softly, "I know this is hard."
Superheros, Superdads
Apr. 29th, 2016 09:36 pm"Lila Barton Murdock," Matt warned his daughter as he reached out to scoop her up.The little girl giggled as her dad tickled her. "I know you snuck a cupcake I can smell it." "Papa give," the three year old insisted as she wiggled in her Dadda's arms, Matt chuckled as he gentle turned the giggling little girl upside down. "Clint," he says walking into the kitchen,"babe are you feeding our daughter sugar before dinner again?"

What would you like your character's tag to be?: matt murdock
Character's background (their past and present):
Matt Murdock grew up in Hell's Kitchen the son of Jack "Battling" Murdock a washed up boxer who was living hand to mouth losing fixed fights for a low level New York mobster. When Matt was nine years old, he was walking across the street with a blind older gentleman. He noticed a truck was racing toward them and pushed the old man out of the way as the truck swerved to avoid them. This caused the truck's cargo of radioactive waste to hit the street and some got splashed in Matt's face rendering him completely blind. It also gifted the young boy with superhuman senses.
As Matt struggled to learn how to deal with his new abilities, Jack's financial situation worsened and he agreed to throw a fight with Carl Creel in order to ease the strain. But Jack began to realize that his son deserved a father who fought for what was right and instead of throwing the fight, he bet on himself to win and did. The mobster he worked for then had Jack killed and Matt became a ward of St. Agnes Orphanage.
As he grew up, Matt tried to live by the rules his father set him. Don't fight and use your smarts to become a lawyer or a doctor. Matt chose the law, believing he could fight corruption in his city by being fair and helping those who could not help himself. The not fighting part was a little harder to follow as Matt was taken under the wing of a blind man named Stick who trained Matt to fight in a war that Matt ended up wanting no part of. The two parted ways, but Matt never forgot the lessons of honor and strength Stick taught him.
He began to realize that fighting corruption using just the law wasn't going to work and he created the hero persona eventual called "The Man in Black" by those he fought. This brought him into conflict with Wilson Fisk who was attempting to take over Hell's Kitchen using intimidation, bribes and murder to get his way. The two men clashed several times resulting in Matt nearly being beaten to death and two of his friends dead by Fisk's hands.
Character's personality:
Matt was raised Catholic and even though he doesn't regularly attend church his faith informs every aspect of his life. He always does the right then and looks out for those who cannot or will not look out for themselves. He is stubborn to a fault, but always willing to listen and take suggestions when he knows he needs help. He knows that what he does at night is dangerous, but Matt believes other people's lives are much more important then his own and he's willing to risk everything in pursuit of a goal.
Matt is a very moral person, he sees the world in black and white and believes that most of the rest of the world does too. To him bad guys are bad, good guys are good and innocent people deserve to be protected. It pisses him off to no end when people don't see the world the same way he does, but he never tries to push his thoughts and opinions on people. He will however lose his temper with his loved ones when they are doing something dangerous without feeling guilty about it later.
He also feels loss and pain deeply. He agonizes over his every failure and mourns to the point of tears when someone he cares about dies. Matt questions almost every day if running his own law firm and trying to save the world as Daredevil is the right thing to do or if he's better off working as a partner in some larger firm. Matt is very charming and while he enjoys having company, he also understands that the danger in his life makes a steady relationship isn't possible., but that doesn't stop him from hoping he'll find someone to share his life one day.
Character's skills/abilities/powers:
Matt's accident left him with super human senses he can hear at much higher levels then a normal human to the point that he can hear skips in heartbeats to know when someone is lying and when sound bounces off an object Matt can briefly "see" said object or person. He also can smell and taste individual elements in the air or in food and his sense of touch is so acute he can "read" print with his fingers when he so chooses.
Any special equipment your character is bringing along? This includes weaponry, magic items, etc.: Matt will be bringing nothing with him but his cane and whatever he has in his pockets, his Daredevil armor and weapons will remain at home.
Are you bringing your character toten_fwd from another game? If you are, which game?: No
If you answered yes above, briefly summarize how they were changed by and what challenges they faced in the climate of their previous game(s): N/A
Why do you want to play this character in Ten Forward, and what do you plan to do with them:
Matt is one of the most moral of the Marvel heroes and I love that about him. He isn't afraid to stick up for what is right and stand toe to toe with more powerful people when he knows they are wrong. He also is one of the more emotional heroes. He feels and you can see it in his every action and expression, he is also one of the few heroes to see the value in having friends who know what he does and can support and encourage him when he is feeling low.
In terms of what I am going to do with him in Ten Forward, Matt is going to discover very quickly he has an emotional connection to Thea Queen and become a good friend to her. He is also going to be suffering from a bit of PTSD given recent canon events before he arrived. He's going to take this chance and use it to try and be a normal blind person for a while if that is even possible. He'll worry about his friends back home, but he'll also start to enjoy the experience of being in space and meeting new people.

Character's background (their past and present):
Matt Murdock grew up in Hell's Kitchen the son of Jack "Battling" Murdock a washed up boxer who was living hand to mouth losing fixed fights for a low level New York mobster. When Matt was nine years old, he was walking across the street with a blind older gentleman. He noticed a truck was racing toward them and pushed the old man out of the way as the truck swerved to avoid them. This caused the truck's cargo of radioactive waste to hit the street and some got splashed in Matt's face rendering him completely blind. It also gifted the young boy with superhuman senses.
As Matt struggled to learn how to deal with his new abilities, Jack's financial situation worsened and he agreed to throw a fight with Carl Creel in order to ease the strain. But Jack began to realize that his son deserved a father who fought for what was right and instead of throwing the fight, he bet on himself to win and did. The mobster he worked for then had Jack killed and Matt became a ward of St. Agnes Orphanage.
As he grew up, Matt tried to live by the rules his father set him. Don't fight and use your smarts to become a lawyer or a doctor. Matt chose the law, believing he could fight corruption in his city by being fair and helping those who could not help himself. The not fighting part was a little harder to follow as Matt was taken under the wing of a blind man named Stick who trained Matt to fight in a war that Matt ended up wanting no part of. The two parted ways, but Matt never forgot the lessons of honor and strength Stick taught him.
He began to realize that fighting corruption using just the law wasn't going to work and he created the hero persona eventual called "The Man in Black" by those he fought. This brought him into conflict with Wilson Fisk who was attempting to take over Hell's Kitchen using intimidation, bribes and murder to get his way. The two men clashed several times resulting in Matt nearly being beaten to death and two of his friends dead by Fisk's hands.
Character's personality:
Matt was raised Catholic and even though he doesn't regularly attend church his faith informs every aspect of his life. He always does the right then and looks out for those who cannot or will not look out for themselves. He is stubborn to a fault, but always willing to listen and take suggestions when he knows he needs help. He knows that what he does at night is dangerous, but Matt believes other people's lives are much more important then his own and he's willing to risk everything in pursuit of a goal.
Matt is a very moral person, he sees the world in black and white and believes that most of the rest of the world does too. To him bad guys are bad, good guys are good and innocent people deserve to be protected. It pisses him off to no end when people don't see the world the same way he does, but he never tries to push his thoughts and opinions on people. He will however lose his temper with his loved ones when they are doing something dangerous without feeling guilty about it later.
He also feels loss and pain deeply. He agonizes over his every failure and mourns to the point of tears when someone he cares about dies. Matt questions almost every day if running his own law firm and trying to save the world as Daredevil is the right thing to do or if he's better off working as a partner in some larger firm.

Matt moved around his apartment like he knew where everything was which in a sense he did. He knew Clint was going to be back from training soon and would want dinner. Then the plan was to patrol the Kitchen and see where the night took them. He heard the door open and called out. "Hey birdman you are actually early...please tell me the tower didn't blow up."
