"How do you know the Devil and the Angel inside me aren't the same thing?"
This is a Matthew Murdock who, instead of helping bleeding hearts and the unfortunate, still has dreams of being a big city lawyer. He's high profile and works high class cases, directly taking on the mob on both his civilian guise and during the night when he dons the horns to become Daredevil. It is more important than ever to keep his dual life secret, as he becomes a bright target to the underworld on both sides of the law. He's New York's ADA coming out of Harvard Law, working for DA Katherine Spencer, moonlighting as the Vigilante DareDevil. It's not a Year One DareDevil, but he's still in the midst of his campaign against Kingpin, working to dismantle the crime-lord's empire on both sides of the law.
This DareDevil is one I've played before but didn't finish his story, and I'd like the opportunity to rectify this error, and push him towards bigger and better things and explore all the twists and turns along the way.
C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:
My Murdock's characterization draws a lot from the Netflix Marvel Series, the very same series that enveloped me in DareDevil's character in the first place. Far from 'Marvel's Batman', DareDevil is a complicated, conflicted individual, with important roles on both sides of his life, and an internal struggle to stay level within himself while doling out his retribution without giving in to his darker impulses.
My Murdock is entirely obssessed with deposing Wilson 'Kingpin' Fish from his throne at the peak of New York's criminal underworld, and unbeknownst to him, this singular fixation will impart deeper risks and tragedies upon both himself and those he loves, changing everybody's lives irrevocably. It'll be fun.
C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:
Matthew's allies currently include Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson, a close friend and working attorney at a private firm, Karen Page, Katherine's PA, Katherine Spencer, New York's DA, and Elektra Natchios,
his long-term romantic partner. Stick, his old mentor, has been out of contact for many years.
Matthew only has the singular nemesis so far - Kingpin himself - but Fisk's near-universal influence is enough to keep him plenty busy.
