Character Profile - Joz the bat (MH)
Joz the bat aka Master hunter
Appearance: Male white fur bat with features similar to Rouge the bat.
Clothes: Long black coat, Sword strap put on upside down, belt, big boots, sunglasses
Strengths and abilities: Joz is very agile and has all the traits that bats usually do (e.g. ability to hang upside down with ease). He is also a very skilled swordsman, which helps in his hunting skills. He is the best hunter on Earth and hence earned the title Master hunter. But above all Joz's greatest skill is his "wealth sense", which is the ability to sense anything which can be valued. The higher the value the greater the feeling. He has mastered this to sense bullets and the trajectories from guns and hence can deflect and adequate number of bullets using his sword. He can also scan areas in infra red and ultra violet. Finally thanks to Miles' upgrades his wings, normally reserved for flight, can be used to guard, hide and fly at tremendous speeds.
Weaknesses: Joz does not have the speed of Shadow/Sonic, the strength of Knuckles/Vector or the intelligence of Miles/Tails/Eggman/Gerald. Although he is adequate in these skills he does not excel in them. Also there is a limit to the number of bullets he can deflect, hence the usefulness of the armour wing. His wing upgrades, stealth and armour need to cover his body to work perfectly and this requires him to crouch, thus limiting his movements and can prevent flight. Jet wing, his other wing upgrade is hard to control and so is usually reserved for high-speed escapes. But above all his greatest weakness is his obsession with Jewels, a rather nasty side effect from his unnatural "wealth sense". This obsession makes him go into "Gemcrazes" occasionally, in which the only known cure is to find all 7 chaos emeralds. When Joz has a "gemcraze" he puts the persuit for gems above all else, including the law and even his friends, the other shadows.
Gadgets: Sunglasses equipped with several scan modes including infra red and Ultra violet. 3 Wing upgrades created by miles, The stealth wing, the Armour wing and the Jet wing. But his most important gadget is his sword, the Annemuir. Found from an ancient temple, the Annemuir is a blade that seems perfectly built for Joz. Its creation details are unknown, but what is known is that a legendary warrior used it centuries ago.
History: Joz grew up normally but at the age of 16 he had no source of income and his family had been killed. In desperation he turned to R.E.E. (Robotnik's Experimentation Enterprise) and volunteered for an experiment which would change his life and define who he was. This experiment gave him his Wealth Sense ability. From this he started using his new sense to find hidden treasures, one of these being his sword the Annemuir. He soon found himself able to master the blade as he kept searching for more jewels. By now Joz was rich and word was getting around of this hunter who had mastered a blade. He ended up being confronted by many agencies, examining his sword skills and hiring him as a bounty hunter. He never failed and soon became known as the Master hunter. However by now he was finding the side effects of his wealth sense becoming more intense, to the point in which he hated his "Gemcrazes" and felt cursed by it. He vowed revenge against the monsters that gave him the curse despite its blessing. When the CEO of R.E.E., Gerald Robotnik became a fugitive, GUN hired him to hunt him down. It is during this job he met up with Shadow and Miles. Normally working alone he decided to team up with them and become the 3rd member of the 3 Shadows.
Rivals: Sapphire the bat - A female assassin and spy envious of Joz's title of Master hunter. Gerald Robotnik - the genius professor, turned insane by what GUN did to him and his family.
Link to Sonic's time: After the 3 Shadow's time Joz started a family. One of his granddaughters is none other than Rouge the bat, skilled treasure hunter and Government spy, who first appeared during Shadow's awakening and Eggman's attack on Earth using ARK (Sonic adventure 2).
Other notes: Joz wears sunglasses for two reasons. Primarily to scan areas for hidden items and stuff, but also to hide his eyes. His wealth sense is linked to his eyes. When it is in use (i.e. whenever he's near something valuable) his eyes flash the colours of the chaos emeralds (c.f. Hyper Sonic). Sword strap is upside down so his wings don't get in the way. It has a locking system to prevent gravity's obvious effects.
