Matthew 'Matt' Murdock
name;; Matthew Murdock
nicknames;; Matt, Matty
species;; Human
age;; Early 30’s
birthdate;;
orientation;; Straight
occupation;; Lawyer/Vigilante
description;; Matt is of slender, muscular build and stands approximately 6’0”. He would be approximately 200lbs in weight. He had dark brown hair with eyes that match and prefers to keep a level of controlled stubble rather than a clean shave. His body is covered with scars from fights…
He wears suits in the day time and carries his white stick to aid with his walking although it is unneeded. As well as this, he often wears glasses to hide his eyes; he’s seemingly uncomfortable with some seeing him without them as he will place them back on in front of certain others.
When going about other duties, Matt wears a tight black, long-sleeved shirt and tight black pants and black boots. He uses a black bandana to tie around his head which covers his eyes and nose. He’s quick and nimble on his feet despite having no vision but uses other senses, such as his incredible hearing, to aid him.
Matt's blindness caused his other senses to be increased to superhuman levels and as he grew older his senses grew stronger as did his power to control them and use them proficiently. From this matt has gathered many unique skills such as being able to determine whether somebody is lying from the pace of their heart beat. He can also sense when another person is wounded due to being able to smell and taste copper in the air. He can also sense how far away people and objects are - even bullets - by focusing on heat signatures, vibrations and air currents.
history;; Matt’s father was the boxer Jack Murdock and, after fights, Matt used to assist in patching up his wounds and would even, on occasion, give his father stitches when needed. He was always encouraged to study hard as his father knew that, if he did so, Matt wouldn’t lead the same life as he did…
When Matthew was nine years old he saved an old man who was nearly killed in an accident however the consequence was grave; he was blinded completely by hazardous fluids that’d fallen from a truck.
From this point, Matt’s father was extremely supportive and Matt continued to help tend to his father’s wounds as well as study as best as he could. His father was, one day, gunned down in an alley way after winning a fight which he was paid to lose. Matthew heard the gunshot and found his father already dead when he arrived…
Whilst in St. Agnes orphanage, Matthew was found by a man nicknamed ‘Stick’ who was, too, blind. However, this man was an incredible fighter and became Matt’s mentor in order to aid him control his senses and become skilled in combat.
Continuing to study Law and meeting his best friend, Foggy Nelson, Matt graduated and returned to Hell’s Kitchen to become attorneys with his university partner, Foggy.
His first action in becoming ‘Daredevil’ consisted of Matt overhearing that a neighbour of his molested his daughter whilst his wife was at work. Fuelled by anger, Matt pursued the man himself after many attempts of calling child services and assaulted him and swore to find him again if he didn’t stop. He was proud to make the man pay when the law was unable to, and this triggered his vigilante habits.
