Mod post

This post is for people who want to play more general roleplays, I'm leaving this unstructured, to play please comment with who you play (even if you think it should be obvious from your icon/username) and what sort of interaction you're looking for.

If someone wants more structure/to take over handling general roleplays please ask and I'll be happy to add at least one mod for this.

About Mike being Daredevil/The Man in the Mask - I think it happens earlier for him than it would have for Matt of the TV show time-line for exactly those reasons. I don't think he needed a defining moment that makes him decide to do it - it just happens organically. He'd been helping people all along. It was Matt who needed one because he'd been living that normal life and wanted to believe in the law and the system. So, later, the moment that would've been his in the TV show - Mike just ends up doing it without much fanfare. Maybe he didn't even give Social Services a chance to fail. Matt just hears that the problem is taken care of...

As to how he gets the name Daredevil and the costume... Maybe it happens in a similar way it did for Matt in the show, only it's Mike sort of working with Matt and Foggy to take down Fisk. (Though, he does a lot independently... Maybe they even have that scene in the alley where the Man in the Mask gives them the info on Leland Owlsley that they'd related to Karen in episode 13 - only this time it really happened. LOL) Anyway, without the Fisk thing, I'm not sure how Melvin would get involved to make the costume, so... *shrugs*

Actually, now that I think of it, we could alter Melvin's time-line a bit... Was he maybe the Gladiator & Mike had taken him down? Or maybe he was just something smaller time (& Mike still stopped him - maybe they had a surprising heart-to-heart) and he's already out on parole... Betsy can be his parole officer or shrink or both - I think that's what she was in the comics, and later they actually do get married and have a kid, if memory serves. So, away, knowing each other earlier could lead to Melvin wanting to help Mike with a better costume.
