Name: Franklin "Foggy" Nelson Door: Door Pass as Dominant Canon: MCU / Netflix's Daredevil Canon Point: post Daredevil season 3 Age: 30s Appearance: Here! History: wiki link here! Personality: Compassionate: Foggy cares, deeply. He cares about his friends and family, he cares about Hell's Kitchen, he cares about people in general. Foggy's the kind of guy who makes friends with all his neighbors, with the staff of restaurants and coffee shops, with all of the patrons of his favorite bar. He genuinely wants to make the world a better place, one client at a time, and he's never really able to turn down someone who's in trouble or needs help. He's someone who rolls up his sleeves and fixes a client's plumbing during a tenement case, stays up all night to help a friend, or tries to be there for a sick coworker whether they want him to or not. Foggy sees himself as part of a community, and he's happiest when he's right in the middle of it. Sense of Humor: Foggy's sense of humor is something that's made very clear early and often. His default seems to be amiable and cheerful, and he's almost always ready to smile brightly and laugh loudly. Foggy is open and honest; he very rarely has secrets and he hates lying to the people he cares about. He likes making people smile or getting them to laugh, and he often uses humor to try to defuse a tense situation or put people at ease. He jokes about everything from bribing cops to his best friend's blindness to anything else that happens to be on his mind. Dedication: This shows up in a number of ways, but mainly in his loyalty to his friends and his tenacity in his job. There isn't a lot that Foggy wouldn't do for his friends, whether that's being a listening ear, coming in swinging with a baseball bat when they're in trouble, or running around on rooftops trying to hunt them down when they're injured. Foggy is at his bravest when it's for his friends, or for his clients. As a lawyer Foggy is determined and ambitious - he has grand dreams of one day making it big, with a fancy office and all that goes with it, but he wants to do it on his own terms. He puts everything he's got into his cases, including going up against shark-like lawyers who also happen to be his ex or the DA as well as walking into a biker bar for information based only on the fact that a guy he knew in third grade is one of them. People tend to underestimate him due to his easy going nature and tendency to joke and ramble, and he's absolutely not above using that. Confidence: Although Foggy has his insecurities same as anyone else, for the most part, he has a hell of a lot of confidence in himself. He's a good lawyer and he knows it, especially when he's got friends to remind him of that. In matters of debate he rarely falters, from spinning an opening statement on the fly to arguing down two injured, angry gang rivals from fighting each other. He's hard to embarrass in general, and seems to have little shame whenever he quips about how handsome he is or goofs around in public. Complicit: Despite his dedication and ambition, Foggy can be a little bit too "go with the flow." Foggy's the kind of guy who'd be very happy with a routine, getting his excitement battling in the courtroom and spending his evenings in a bar where he knows everyone's name. He has a practical kind of complicity that comes from working within the justice system, doing the best he can for his clients using the law rather than trying to change its failures. The exceptions to this tend to come when he's been fired up by his friends, because it's fairly easy for him to be persuaded to what they want. That's not to say he doesn't make or stand by his own decisions, but unless it's life or death or his own pride gets involved, he seems to lose his killer debate instinct when it comes to his friends. Over-invested: Foggy cares about his friends a lot. By his own admittance he's not great at dropping or letting things go, even when people want him to. This leads to him doing things like following one of his best friends after she leaves the office because she was acting funny and he was worried, or trying to offer to help a senior partner in the firm with a sensitive medical issue. Obviously, this doesn't always work out the best for him, but it doesn't stop him from sometimes being a little pushy or invasive or putting himself in potentially dangerous situations. Stubborn: There are some things that Foggy will sink his teeth into and not let go of, particularly when it comes to betrayal or Foggy's own sense of pride and jealousy. When he feels betrayed and let down by Matt, he doesn't forgive him easily, and stubbornly refuses to be the first one to admit that he wants to keep Nelson and Murdock going. He doesn't back down on his concern for what Matt's doing, even if he eventually adjusts his stance on vigilantism. Poor coping mechanisms: To some extent, humor could be included here, considering Foggy has a tendency to deflect or try to defuse tension with a joke that doesn't always work, but the main one is alcohol. He's not really an alcoholic and it never seems to interfere with his functioning - except maybe to make him more emotional in arguments - but when Foggy's sad or angry or generally upset, it's highly likely he'll end up drinking and avoiding his own problems.
