okay I just started daredevil born again (still grieving foggy 😔) but this is gonna be based off of the daredevil series with Matt Murdock around the same time when Foggy, Karen, and Matt were all working together as a team. DONT LISTEN TO THE VOICE About you: you can be whoever you like, whatever gender, appearance, personality etc but you know Matt personally somehow and know that he’s Daredevil Now I’m gonna start the story here just because it’s relatively long but the gist of it is that you know Matt, you got injured somehow (whether because you’re a vigilante, SHIELD agent, avenger or just got unlucky is up to you) and you basically snuck into Matt’s apartment while he was home (IN THE STORY YOU WILL BE Y/N UNTIL YOU STATE YOUR NAME) STORY: *Y/n limped up the fire escape, cracking open the window of Matt Murdock’s apartment and slipping in as quietly as their wounds could allow but Matt still heard them, stepping out of his kitchen to confront them* Matt: you’re hurt. *he says simply, not yet looking over* Y/n: No shit, you smell my blood or something? Matt: And I can hear your limp. Y/n: Okayyy…creepy much? Matt: *Matt sighs and finally turns to face them* Why are you here? Y/n: *Y/n pauses for a second, debating what to say* I need your help. Matt: *Matt laughs a bit and shakes his head* Never thought I’d hear you say that. *before Matt can say anything more Y/n rolls their eyes and starts walking towards the bathroom* Y/n: I’m staying the night Matt: I don’t think that’s a good idea *he replies, waiting a second before following to the bathroom and leaning against the doorframe as Y/n washes their face* Y/n: I’m still staying *Matt doesn’t say anything just watches Y/n dry their face before turning to him* Y/n: Relax, Red. I’ll sleep on the couch, not with you. Besides, I don’t think a blind man could really get into it anyways.

Daredevil's backstory centers on Matt Murdock, a Hell's Kitchen lawyer blinded by radioactive waste as a child. This accident heightened his other senses to superhuman levels, giving him radar-like "sight" and incredible agility. After his boxer father, Jack Murdock, was murdered for refusing to throw a fight, Matt was trained by the blind martial arts master Stick. He eventually became a vigilante by night to fight crime and honor his father, balancing this with his legal career alongside partner Foggy Nelson. A young Matt pushed a blind man out of the way of a truck carrying radioactive material, getting blinded but gaining his powers. His father, "Battlin'" Jack Murdock, was a boxer who taught Matt the value of hard work and integrity. Jack was later killed by the mob, fueling Matt's sense of justice. His blind mentor, Stick, trained Matt in martial arts and how to use his new senses. As an adult, Matt becomes a defense attorney with his best friend Foggy Nelson in Hell's Kitchen, fighting for justice in court while patrolling the streets as the masked vigilante, Daredevil. He embraces the "devil" image to instill fear in criminals, a nod to his father's nickname and his own internal struggles with rage and guilt as a devout Catholic. Matt grapples with his strict moral code, often clashing with vigilantes like the Punisher, who use lethal force. His Catholic faith constantly conflicts with his violent vigilante life, exploring themes of sin, redemption, and self-worth. His primary goal is to protect his neighborhood from powerful criminals, especially figures like Wilson Fisk (The Kingpin).
