'DAWN OF MARVELS' RPG Application
Screenname: Spider-Man9x17
Character You Would Like To Play: Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, the Man Without Fear
Powers: Blinded as a youth by toxic waste, Matts other four senses, touch, smell, taste, and hearing, were amplified to superhuman levels. He also gained a sixth sense of sorts, able to see the world around him using his radar sense
Basic History Of The Character (Up until this point): Matt Murdock grew up in the streets of Hells Kitchen, one of New Yorks toughest, most crime ridden neighborhoods. He never knew his mother, and in all actuality isnt sure what happened to her as his father, a down on his luck boxer named Jack Murdock, Battlin Jack, would never reveal her fate. Jack had come up the hard way in life. His mother died giving birth, and his father was an abusive drunk. Hitting the streets at 15 years old, he found fighting as not only a means of survival, but also quick cash. Though a noble cause at first, he soon found himself using his fighting abilities as an enforcer/collector for an up and coming crime syndicate. Many times over the years Jack has tried to leave the thug life behind, but he has never found any permanent escape. Not wanting his son to end up like him, Jack hides sinister job from his son, using a cover story of having a job working the docks while using his enforcer money, and what earnings he can still garner by boxing, to send Matt to an upscale private school in hopes of giving Matt a leg up on succeeding in life.
Matt prospers in his educational career, but Hells Kitchen is not a place of understanding and forgiveness. The neighborhood youth resents Matt and his high scale education, seeing the boy as thinking hes better than everyone else. At one time a timid boy, the older bullies tagged him with the nickname Daredevil as a cruel joke. As Matt entered his teens, he began to secretly train his body and mind, claiming to stay later at school while actually hanging around seedy gyms and back alleys, learning all he could about fighting. At one of the gyms he frequented, he met a blind man simply called Stick, who took a shining to Matt and took him under his wing.
Coming home from school one day, Matt sees and elderly man, burdened down by an armful of groceries, trip and fall into the street, right into the path of an oncoming truck. Thinking quickly, Matt rushes out into the street, pushing the man to safety and though the truck has time to swerve, the sudden change in motion upends to trailer, spilling the contents out onto the street. Matt is splashed in the eyes with the fluid from one of the barrels, a toxic by-product. At the hospital, Matt and his father are informed that Matt will never see again and while the owner of the truck, Fisk Corporations, offered to cover any and all expenses, Jack strangely refuses. Matt himself also hides a secret now, changed forever by the accident.
When Matt finally graduated from high school, despite his handicap, and earned a full scholarship to Columbia Law School, Jack finally saw the opportunity to put his days of crime behind him once and for all. His boxing career seeing a resurgence, Jack quickly saw himself in line to contend for the world title and regain. When the FBI came knocking to ask about his cloudy past, they offered Jack a full pardon if he would cooperate as an informant a give up the names of anyone he had worked for. On the eve of his world title fight in Las Vegas, and just a week from having to appear in court, Jack Murdock was killed when a limo he was riding in to the fight weigh-in exploded.
Matt, heartbroken and not understanding why his father would be a target for murder, finished law school top of his class, and has just opened his own law firm with his college roommate Franklin Foggy Nelson. Seeking to improve the world and protect the innocent, and to prevent anyone else suffering the tragedies he has, Matt fights for truth by day in the courtrooms, but knows all to well that will not be enough. Soon though, in the night skies about New York and Hells Kitchen, evil will meet its new enemy, as the devil himself has escaped from Hell.
Three Reasons Why You Have Chosen That Character:
1. Spider-Man was already taken
2. While Daredevil possess heightened sense, he has now real superpowers to speak of, such as flight, strength, etc. Hes basically a well trained man out in the tough streets fighting supervillians. There are interesting possibilities there Id like to explore
3. Hes one of my favorites and Ive never had a chance to play him before
What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character As A Person (IE: How are you changing him or her?): Matts life has been shattered, and everything hes known and loved taken away. While he fights for the innocent, I want to explore a darker possibility for the character, a no holds barred man who wages an all out war with ver few limitations against crime, though I wont take him to a Punisher type level.
Two Complete Sentences In Proper English Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As A Player): First and foremost, I can bring well told, well thought out stories to the game itself. I am also a very lovable guy who brightens up any OOC thread I visit.
What Fonts Do You Plan To Use For Your Characters Speech? (Makes the roster look better): Matt: Book Antiqua Red / Daredevil: Bold Book Antiqua Red
Please Provide A Small Sample Post In The Format You Wish To Portray Your Character In:
Coucilman Evans, youve met my client, Miss Amber Reigns before, is that correct?
Yes sir.
You have a very personal relationship, in fact?
Yes.
And what is that relationship?
Matt Murdock could not see it, but he could sense the defendant squirm slightly, though the jury seemed unaware of the uneasiness as well. It wasnt there fault; they just saw the councilman in a different way literally. Matt could hear the grief fluttering of the mans heart, pick up a shortness of breath, and even feel the minuscule rise in body temperature.
Shes a dancer at Sals Strip Saloon. I paid for a private dance from her every Wednesday night.
So, it is safe to say then that you were there Wednesday, March Third?
Yes.
The night that Miss Reigns was assaulted and raped in the back alley of Sals?
His heartbeat quickened even more.
Yes, but Ive already said, I had nothing to do with that. I have witnesses that have already testified that I left the club that night almost an hour before this incident.
His heart quickened, skipped a beat. Body temp up again. Bingo. Liar.
Yes, councilman, but some of those same witnesses say you also left after a very loud confrontation with my client, a confrontation she says came about after you crossed the line of customer privilege. Do you care to contest that point?
As a matter of fact, I do. Miss Reigns wasnt quite on her game that night, so to speak, and after I left her a tip a bit short of her usual amount, she began defensive and aggressive, and physically tried to take my wallet from my person. If you ask me, this whole thing is just a scam to get what she feels I shorted her, and then some.
You lying B@$TARD!
Amber Reigns jumped from her seat in anger, quickly subdued by Foggy Nelson, Matts partner in law.
Order! ORDER! Mr. Murdock, your examination just seems to be going in circles around what has already been previously been said. Do you have anything else to add?
No sir. I was just trying to reiterate the fact that Councilman Evans had not only the preexisting relationship with my client, as well as being in the right place in a very close time frame of said crime, and that we must also nto forget that bits of his skin were found under my clients nails. This all coupled with the oft overlooked fact that my client has fingered him as the perpertrator
All circumstantial Mr. Murdock.
Councilman Evans lawyer stood up.
Your honor, I would also like to remind the jury that several other mens skin was found under Miss Reigns fingernails, something that is surely common in her line of work.
Noted. If nobody has anything else to add, the jury is adjourned for deliberation.
-
Not guilty. They found him not guilty!
Matt, there was no solid case against him. Some down on her luck stripper crying rape against a high class councilman. Things werent good for us from the start.
He did it, Foggy. Beyond the shadow of a doubt, he did it.
Im not doubting you, buddy, but like I said, we were against the wall to begin with. Look, you cant win em all. All you can do is give it one hundred percent, right?
Matt nodded slowly, the words sinking deep into his soul
-
One hundred percent.
Matt extracted a small metal box from the top shelf of his closet and laid it on his bed, slowly opening the lid. Inside were several neatly folded pieces of flexible, though highly tough, dark red fabric. He pulled out the top piece and held it out in front of him, as though he were looking at it. A red mask, designed to fit over the top part of the head, with a small horn protruding from above either eye. It was truly demonic to behold.
Its time.
