@beatboks1: Here is a quick intro, I won't get into Aquaman's elemental abilities or Aspen's physical abilities here but it will be mentioned later on when needed.
Aquaman is a powerhouse and is probably the strongest fighter in this match. For starters Aquaman has the strength to move a massive submarine
In terms of striking, he can punch a zombie Hercules (who he was previously struggling with) across an island
And with his trident, he could pierce Darkseid himself
Aquaman may not be the fastest man on the league but he is fast enough to react to blasts from Black Manta
He can also leap away like the Hulk (not sure if this is strength or speed)
In terms of durability he can take as much as he gives. Which is as much as most N52 high tiers as you can see here as he tanks a hit from a giant monster which takes out WW
And here he is taking a hit from Wonder Woman
Offensive telepapthy may be banned but that doesn't stop Aquaman from summoning sea creatures to aid him in battle like so
Aspen Matthews is basically Mera but stronger.
Aspen is one of the strongest Hydrokinetic fighters in fiction IMO and she has the feats to back it up, for example she increases water preasure in a submarine which badly damages it while also lifting it towards the surface
And here she is creating massive whirlpools and lifting them
She can even turn into water (making physical attacks pointless against her)
And fire energy blasts
Richard Occult has normal human level physicals in all regards (Strength, durability and speed). In this tourney however due to the speed equalize perk he is equal to my adversary.
Zator, one of the group known as the Seven Trained Richard Occult and Rose Psychic in the ways of magic from infancy, even granting Richard the powerful Mystic Symbol of the Seven.
As a result of his training he gained these
He is capable of creating illusions with a mystical form of hypnosis, moving small objects with his mind, travelling instantly anywhere thru the astral plane
His disk also allows him protection from magic, magical blasts, to open portals for others to travel thru, and to create shields
The disk allows Richard one other thing. It gives him a means of always being intimately knowledgeable about who he meats instantly. This is because it allows him to strep outside time and watch the past unfold (without actually being able to interact with it or affect it) between the seconds.
Scan 1 Occult knows more about a man the "trenchcoat brigade" just met than even the night omnipotent Phantom Stranger. The next three are from the books of magic where he takes Tim Hunter to observe the creation of everything (also states they are not participants). then there is taking Superman outside time to watch Doomsday kill him. The last two he shows intimate knowledge of Jared stevens (that he has just met) as well as of the threat that he been preparing to face him.
So While I don't have a perk, due to character selection I have full knowledge of your team
Simon Payne also has normal human physicals
Vera Gemini and her Cult of the Harvesters of Eyes, recruited Payne, honed his psychic powers and gave him his Shadow-Cloak. He quit upon learning that they wished to bring about Xenogenesis, restoring to prominence an ancient demon race that once ruled the Earth. Taking the name "Devil-Slayer," he dedicated himself to fighting demons.
powers
His Cloak also allows him to pull an endless supply of weapons from it and to travel or send others to other places via dimensional travel
Considerations
As both my team are able to cast illusions they will create illusions of themselves all over the battle field. Occult will also make himself and Devilslayer appear to be the size of an ant. This will mean that my opponent wont be able to perceive my location and will be busy attacking fake me's.
The rules state no offensive TP but Occult's illusions aren't TP and while DS's are it is only defensive (as he has never attacked a mind only distracted or . So while Aquaman might be able to pierce DS's illusions with his own TP he won't be able to pierce Occult's.
Any use of the trident that pierced Darksied against my team will be simple dimensionally transported into the back of my opponents. Similarly any attacks of water pressure that reach my team are BFR'd. This makes the strength and physical abilities of my adversaries meaningless as they can't be brought to bear against my team. You;ll notice the first two scans I have of DS have him casually BFR Hulk. Now removal from the battlefield isn't allowed under the rules but nothing says I can't move you to other points of the battlefield.
All the while I'm free to attack your team with my TK from a safe distance. The fact that I can attack with TK (which for both my characters isn't much more powerful than what a normal human can move physically so nothing over the top and neither have ever shown internal attacks with it) means I can make the illusions your team would fight all that much more realistic as they would appear to have physical substance.
any energy attacks used can be absorbed by Occult's disk and used to shield my team from any harm with a force field as powerful as the force that attacks it. In Day of Judgment Occult Kept Spectre busy shielding the mystics while they came up with a counter because he was using Spectre's own attacks to power his shield. In reign in hell he shielded himself from a blast that destroyed the containment keeping Lobo entrapped (which was directly over his head (by absorbing the power of the blast to power it). His sheidls will always stand up against the energy attacks of others. Only physical attacks when there is insufficient energy to drain around him to power them could get through.
my team can remain at a safe distance completely hidden from your team and remove themselves instantly from any danger with both having dimensional travel. they can shield themselves from any energy or magic based (Poseidon's Blessing) attack perfectly. All the while attacking you with TK from that distance and using your own weapons and attacks against you by BFMing (Battle field moving as Battle field removal isn't allowed) them at you from a different angle.

But since you flooded the ;lace with illusions, Aspen would most likely just flood the battlefield with water.
And I doubt that you could BFR all that water (especially when the entire battlefield will be filled with water already).

I mean that's cool but all your illusions will be taken in one swoop anyway sop it doesn't really matter.

So he can only make these shields if energy is used against him? Doesn't seem very useful against my team.

You can't leave the battlefield so dimensional travel doesn't matter and while your shields are impressive, I don't see how it stops Aspen from accidental drowning you (since you will look ant sized to her and she would flood the place).
Aspen could just drown you wile you haven't really shown any way of beating my team asides from redirecting our physical attacks.
Counters to counters
Some evidence
Let us remember exactly what's banned in relation to attacks my team can do
Internal attacks
Offensive Intangibility
Offensive/Empathy telepathy
Offensive Soul manipulation
I'm not using any of these as the way I'm using them in no way
causing someone to feel resentful, upset, or annoyed."the allegations made are deeply offensive to us"
actively aggressive; attacking
Which are the two definitions of "offensive"
In the first scan he senses an evil that has entered his universe that's on the far side of the planet. In the second he senses a danger in the stratosphere above him. Both well before they're in range to do any harm.
Clea (Dr Strange's mystic partner who also has mystic senses) called on DS to use his superior 6th sense to track the missng Gargoyle when Dr Strange was otherwise engaged.
So your not taking out my illusions unless you take out my team. something you wont be able to because of the different way our two teams fight. you can't find us, wont be able to touch us,
So he can only make these shields if energy is used against him? Doesn't seem very useful against my team.
No he can make shields anytime but he needs to have a source of energy. NORMALLY he can draw on any ambient energy in the area. remember his disk absorbs and redirects supernatural and natural energy. This means he can absorb the ambient magical energy in the area (same as say Constantine or others would use for a shield) or the energy of the sun, wind, water movement. This wouldn't make for a super strong shield
No energy being used against him here and he can still throw up a shield to keep three or four demons away with their physical attacks.
You brought the magical power source of a skyfather to the battle. I'd say that gives Occult quite a bit of energy to draw upon to power his shields, blasts etc.
There is something else quite important to consider here. you only have basic knowledge. Mr Ingenuity defines that literally as awhat one might find on a wiki in their universe. Unfortunately what this means for you is thaqt what you know about Occult will be incredibly limited
Occult isn't very well known at all. In fact when he was semi famous was back in the 1930's and he wasn't actually known for what he truly is
So what would be in a wiki about Occult is only that he was a detective who dealt with the arcane. there would be nothing known about his abilities and how he can fight. You have no means of knowing that he is even capable of anything more than a normal human detective. No reason therefore to even know he can shrink himself and DS. No reason to know about his ability to create illusions (you would of DS of course and therefore respond with Arthur's TP to no avail). No reason to know he can create force fields or their limitations and therefore no reason to know to pile it on.
other possible attacks
Blasts, the beast that Faust and Occult keep at bay BTW is the Spectre. His blasts weren't doing major damage obviously but they were keeping him busy (and obviously were getting power from Spectre's own energy)
thousands of arcane weapons that can do major damage. and anti mater mace would destroy any matter it strikes for example.
