There's no accounting for taste. Merely criticism of it.

Here lies Charlie. You can tell it's him because we put his name on the stone.

Or don't.
I have no strong feelings either way.

@PharaohAtem Well, he’s used to working alone, but being an enchanter and given some time, he should be able to fix that in later encounters. Right?
You know what makes more sense? That he has earplugs to go with a pair of big, loud guns, so edited to that effect. @PharaohAtem

Someone really didn't like Taylor's attempt to defer the bout. He was intimately familiar with this kind of rant, vaguely recalling giving a similar one in the past. As Fiona went on, he slipped a pair of earplugs into his ears, and reached for his gun, expecting to face the first strike when his guard seemed down. Then she started to transform, and he froze with his hand on the pistol's grip.

Okay, these earplugs are trash, Taylor grumbled internally as the ogress launched into the air and unleashed her mighty scream. Despite his complaint, the earplugs did their job, and the shrill shout was merely painful instead of utterly debilitating. He went down to the ground, but quickly came back up, drawing one of his pistols and letting fly a couple shots, deafening in their own right, aiming to punch a hole in one of her new wings. Momentum was enough to carry her through his initial assault, so he got up and moving as she spat out her venom, and while he managed to evade the caustic spit, he found his foot ensnared by the webbing she'd shot right afterward. With his free hand, he drew one of his knives, cutting through the spider web and got to his feet before Fiona could reel him in. "Ignite," he intoned through clenched teeth, and arcane script all over his outfit flared into a furious crimson as he raised his gun and pointed it at the ogre. "I know. This isn't my first time."

As the ogress Fiona called Taylor out, he sucked in a breath through clenched teeth, and giggled nervously. "Eheheh... Could we... I dunno, not? I don't... I don't fight friendlies," he suggested. But by force of habit, he touched the places he'd concealed his weapons, ensuring they were ready for a quick draw in case she insisted. Somehow he doubted that Fiona was going to take "no" for an answer. "Or at the very least, can't it wait until your friend's brought everyone up to speed?" Mentally, he started running through what he'd seen during her bouts with the with Grace, Bahamut, and Ming.
Things had started simply enough. Taylor had gone out to survey an isolated fracture out in the desert, having made camp on a ridge overlooking the site the previous evening. If anyone was going to figure out where they came from and how to close them, he absolutely needed to take a closer look. He went over his gear as he hiked into the crater, and as he got on the same level as the glowing fissure, he thought he heard a voice call his name. Which wasn’t likely, as he hadn’t seen another soul crazy enough to venture this far out into the desert, let alone this close to one of the cracks.

Then, Taylor felt the spell take hold. His first thought was that the fissure was pulling him in, but then the scenery shifted well before he reached the edge. He’d gone from the parched red crater, to a verdant walled courtyard, suddenly in the company of four other souls with him in the summoning circle, and two more outside it, an ogress and a... halfling of some sort? Leading him to presume one of them to be the caster responsible. Listening to his fellow summoned converse, some of them acted like they were part of some sort of game, leading the man in black to sigh in annoyance. The ogre outside the circle seemed to share his sentiment, suggesting to her comrade that she test him and the others in combat. Taylor didn’t like that prospect, so he took a cautious step back, reaching for one of his pistols holstered under his coat, prepared to move if he were attacked.

To his relief, the draconic scion and the warrior maiden, both who believed this a game, followed by the inumimi, had leaped in to do battle with the ogress, giving him a chance to retreat towards the wall to re-inventory his gear in case he’d lost something in the summoning. ”Weapons, mags: check. Runes, gems: double check,” he muttered. Satisfied all his trouble kit was still with him, he turned his attention to the melee unfolding before him, impressed with the power on display.

As the battle began to lull, Taylor saw the halfling call everyone’s attention and begin to offer explanation as to just what was going on. So she’s investigating the fractures, too, he mused, the explanation putting him at ease that this wasn’t some sort of sadist’s game. ”It all seems straightforward enough. No questions from me, Julia of Azroh,” he answered as he made his way back towards the center of the courtyard.
@The One Duly noted and incorporated.

@PharaohAtem Also noted, but if I put every ward and QoL enchantment on the CS, it could get longer than the rest of the sheet, though I hope I’m exaggerating.
All right. Character sheet's been revised, and I'll be back around to post IC after work.
Again, I thank you all for your patience and inspiration.
@The One Alright, then. This helps immensely! I should be able to get things revised by tomorrow evening at the latest.

Yeah that covers all the abilities you listed as well but when i think of magic batman i think of this power

powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Armament…

Since you could created magic weapon armor acceseries and basically any kind of fear you want with any kind of enchantment you want giving you limitless options including everything you listed even psychomenty since you can created magic gear enchantmented with all those abilities and much more.


This, I'd consider a milestone goal. That is, it's not something my guy can do yet. But it's a possible direction to take him in. And you may have answered an unrelated question that's been hanging in the air for the better part of two years, so thanks for the inspiration!
@RabidChoco

I've just had a quick look at you cs and notice most of your powers of nature manipulation/ magic except for Psychomenty as nature manipulation also gives you the ability to teleport you just do it vire moving instantly though nature. This power is also a lot stronger then what you currently have and gives the one clean understanding of its various abilities that may be a better power option for your character.

Nice of you to offer, but it just doesn't seem to fit in my eyes, especially after the years of playing him as, effectively, a magical Batman.
Besides, in practice, it may end up being closer to this one: Elemental Energy Manipulation
