ULTIMATE MARVEL RPG VOL.2 SIGN-UP FORM
Screen Name: Master Bruce
Character you would like to play: Ultimate Daredevil
Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: Though blinded, Matthew Murdock's remaining senses were heightened to a superhuman degree as a result of being hit with a radioactive isotope as a child. Training himself to work with his disability, Murdock found that by combining his accute sense of hearing with his sense of touch, he could create an inner radar that would allow him to see the world around him better than he ever could with sight. Trained in gymnastics, aswell as boxing, judo, and other street level martial arts, Murdock's list of skills only grew, making him more than a formidable opponent by the time he became The Man Without Fear.
Daredevil works as a vigilante to right wrongs that the justice system can't. By day, he is a lawyer and attorney-at-law for the underprivileged. But by night, he is an unforgiving avenger, taking his clients' cases and turning them into crusades for vengeful justice. He operates primarily out of New York City's Clinton area, known better to it's locals as 'Hell's Kitchen'.
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. Daredevil has always been one of my favorite characters. It seemed like a no-brainer to apply for him any time that I did before. And right now is no exception.
2. With the RPG rebooting, I have a chance to really dig into Daredevil's comic book history and pull out some of it's real gems, modernizing them for an Ultimate continuity.
3. There's honestly no character I'd rather play in this game.
What can you bring to this game? I've been reading Daredevil comics for years, so I know that I can bring a knowledge of the character's personality and skills to the table for interaction. I've also made a considerable reputation for playing slightly, if not outright psychotic characters, so I can bring a little of that into my portrayal of the character's Ultimate changes.

Provide a small sample post for your character, about 4 paragraphs with at least one line of dialouge:
His name is Matthew Micheal Murdock. He was born a catholic to a family with strict values and even stricter morals. His mother left him. His father was unrightfully taken from him. To add insult to injury, so was his sight. But even so, he sought out true justice, and in the process, he found love again. But circumstance and morals prevented that love from fruition. And by the end of his pain and his torture, this young man was turned into something else entirely. You could say he became a devil of a person.
"Put the girl down."
Right now, however, this devil is in quite the predicament.
It had all started a week ago, when a young beaten and battered woman stumbled into the Law Offices of Nelson and Murdock. She was frightened, scared... and Matt had picked up on that long before she was able to finally tell her story to him. She had once belonged to a religious cult of hoods within the neighborhood, and served under a man named Zebediah Killgrave, who the cult believed was the reincarnation of Christ. But when the young woman had stumbled onto a secret about Killgrave... He had ordered the cult to beat her, convincing them that she was an agent of the devil come to smite him from his ruling. The truth was, Killgrave wasn't reincarnated. He was just a greedy metahuman who had received a set of powers in a random accident, much like Matt. But unlike Matt, he used his powers to gain wealth and fortune, convincing each member of his cult to trust him with their bank accounts in return for everlasting life. The reason he had the woman beaten was to keep her too scared to tell that to the other cult members.
Of course, hearing this story this sickened Matt, and he accepted to defend the young woman in a lawsuit against Killgrave. But the case ended once the woman agreed to drop the charges. Knowing this to be odd, Matt discreetly tracked the woman down, and discovered that she had rejoined the cult which called themselves "The Purple Men". Changing from Matt Murdock into his masked vigilante identity of The Daredevil, He managed to sneak into the warehouse that The Purple Men occupied. But being spotted by one of it's members, His cover had been blown, forcing him to act in a more forceful manner. Which leads to the situation now, where Killgrave has Daredevil's former client as a hostage, with a gun to her head. Of course Daredevil can't let Killgrave murder the woman, but the one thing that separates the three is the cult itself. And picking up on their movements with his radar, Daredevil soon realizes that they're about to attack. Which isn't good, needless to say.
"No thanks,", Killgrave responds, still holding the gun.
"I think I'll have them kill you instead."
For a moment, Daredevil takes this as a bluff. But it's his mistake, as The Purple Men begin to charge him. Widening his eyes, Daredevil quickly leaps into the air and fires the grapnel of his club to the ceiling, swinging above the cult as he makes a desperate attempt to attack Killgrave. But to no avail, as Daredevil feels a sharp tug at his leg. Dropping from the club, Daredevil spins, kicking the nearest Purple Man across the face and freeing himself from it's grip. Landing amongst the crowd of them, Daredevil takes his other club, and begins to fight them off, one by one. But as he does, Daredevil can't help but think uncertainty.
Is this really happening?
It did seem rather out of the ordinary. A man dressed as a devil fighting a cult of religious extremists dressed in purple robes, being controlled by an evil man that they believed to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. As Daredevil thought about it, he realized something else. It was a bit of an irony, too. But maybe he could use this to his advantage.
"Stop!", Daredevil shouted to the attacking group.
"Just think about it for a moment. He's misleading you all... Don't you understand?"
"SHUT UP!", Killgrave shouted back, angrily.
"He's the one trying to mislead you, my children! For he wears the garb of Satan himself! He is most desperate to turn you against me! But do not listen to his cries of convincement, for they are the path to eternal sin! The only way to redeem thyselves is to fight this spawn of the devil back! KILL HIM!"
Daredevil gritted his teeth, as his radar begin to send him signals of the cult's continuing attack, despite his attempt to clear their minds.
Well. That went nowhere.
