cape and cowl 2020: planning post

[2020mod]

C&C 2020 Someone call for a dystopian future au? Sometime around 2014 (THIS IS NEW, GUYS, WE'RE JUST SLIDING THE SHIT HITTING THE FAN FORWARD A FEW YEARS OKAY), the government in the City decided that they'd had enough of these superhero antics. There was a nationwide crackdown on metas, requiring registration upon penalty of incarceration. The network was shut down, and many residents were scattered to the winds. There are a few that stayed in touch, however. That's where you come in. For some of you, this might be from before your time. Not to fear! Since it's a highly flexible splinter universe, there's pretty much no such thing as canon. Retcons abound, either as allowances for contradictory canon information (except for the premise, of course), or even just if the player wants to change something around! So, use this post as a free-for all. New characters get new projected histories, dropped characters can be said to have come back, and old characters can be reexamined or given more story. On Sunday, an open post will be put up in capeandcowl2020 proper, so use this time to work out information and pimp this out to players who're eligible but may not see this (you can also ahead and start your own posts in that comm)! Remember, any character that has been played in main game is automatically good to go, and you are welcome to make use of the musebox whenever the mood strikes you! musebox • rules • character list

MATT MURDOCK

[blindly]

Matt was ready to stand and fight. He'd been against any sort of registration or crackdown before, and he sure as hell was not going to go without a fight. And he did fight. He fought hard, and he wound up with a traumatic brain injury following a scuffle with police. He was hospitalized, forced to register in his incapacitated state before being released into society again.

The only problem was his radar was completely gone and his short term memory was all but destroyed.

Terezi somehow found him first, and decided that she would put her suffering man lusus out of his misery. Fortunately May intervened at the last second, preventing Matt's gruesome murder at the hands of his adoptive daughter.

Unable to practice law anymore, Matt was able to find work as a line chef while living with May and trying to keep Terezi from getting into too much trouble. But it's difficult when you can't really remember anything and you have no powers. He accepts random visitors, but his memory never ever gets any better. And at some point, Reilly Tyne sought revenge on those who had injured Matt. It is a sad existence.
