Have you ever noticed that matthew murdock from the marvel universe looks a lot like charlie cox ? But he also goes by daredevil. Having the ability of enhanced sense and martial arts sure makes them a force to be reckoned with. They’re known to be charming but also prideful and they’re thirty-one ears old.

                        ❝ they’ve got the devil in them. ❞ . . . ( h i s t or y )
we’re going with the tv version of matt because uhhhhh sometimes the comics confused me and also i love jack murdock with all my heart.
matt murdock was born and raised in the heart of hell’s kitchen to ‘battlin’ jack murdock and maggie grace
we’re gonna skip over maggie going nutso and attacking matty from the comics but ! she did experience post-partum depression and leave matt and his father to go join the church as a nun
matt is raised by jack alone. they don’t have much, as they live off of the pay checks jack receives from his boxing matches, but matt grows up with a father who dotes on him.
when matt was younger, he was involved in an accident. he pushed an old man out of the way of an out of control truck. as a result, he was hit by the truck and the radioactive acid that the truck was carrying blinded him.
he completely lost sight in his eyes, but because of the radioactive nature of the acid the truck was carrying, the rest of matt’s senses became enhanced to a superhuman degree. he developed a skill called radar sense, which allowed him to “see” his surroundings through the his other senses and intuition.
not too long after this, battlin’ jack took a gamble in a big fight against a young opponent. he promised the irish mob that he’d throw the fight, but refused to because matt was in the audience. he won the fight, put away his winnings for matt, and was later shot and killed in the alley outside their home and was found by matt.
matt then went to an orphanage run by the catholic church that his mother worked at. he jumped from foster home to foster home but never stayed in one for very long and eventually aged out of the orphanage.
throughout this time, matt was trained by a man named stick who taught him several different styles of martial arts and how to best utilize his ‘radar sense’. 
eventually, matt went on to collage and graduated with a law degree from columbia law. he became a defense attorney and started up his own firm  with his college roommate and best friend, franklin ‘foggy’ nelson, which they named ‘nelson & murdock’.
around this same time, matt began to see the suffering around hell’s kitchen. he decided to take up a mask and begin doing something about the crimes in his neighborhood. his simple black suit eventually morphed into his iconic red costume and, thus, the devil of hell’s kitchen was born.
                        ❝ so, forgive me, father ❞ . . . ( p e r s o n a l i t y )
pretty boy. he’s a charmer when he wants to be. he will play it off as unintentional, but he loves it when he catches someone’s interest. he’s a good looking dude and he knows it. the ladies know it. the guys know it. he’s not afraid to use it.
when he’s not trying to get on people’s good side, he can be rather curt and closed-off. this can be taken as rude, but mostly, he just doesn’t bother using his energy to be polite when he doesn’t see a need to. if he doesn’t trust you, there is no way he’s allowing himself to let his guard down.
he cares a lot about other people. he has to be in order to be able to put everyone else’s lives ahead of his own. he is fiercely protective of the people of his neighborhood and will go to many lengths to take care of the people he loves.
he has his boundaries, however. his business remains solely in hell’s kitchen. he doesn’t tend to get involves in any of the bigger villains that he knows other vigilantes sometimes wind up dealing with ( *cough cough* looking at you, webs *cough cough* ). he knows his limits and in the end, he is still only human. on the flip side though, he also does not like anyone else encroaching in his territory. hell’s kitchen are his people and he will deal with them.
he has a matyr complex. absolutely will sacrifice himself for the greater good of his community and he never learns when enough is enough. he’ll get the shit beaten out of him and keep coming back for more. probably stems from deeply-rooted childhood trauma but eh.
his personality almost seems to split. there is a distinct difference between the kindly blind lawyer who takes up cases pro bono, and daredevil, the man without fear. matt himself doesn’t actual know which one is closer to who he actually is as a person.
                                      ❝ for i have sinned. ❞ . . . ( t l : d r )
if you’ve made it here, please pat yourself on the back for me ! basically, he’s a blind lawyer with a hard-on for justice in whatever way he can serve it. don’t let his pretty face fool you, he will get the shit beaten out of him and try to convince you he fell down the stairs. he is 6′0′’ of coffee, vengeance, and a hearty belief that the lord has forsaken him. pls love him he needs it <3
