I would like some help with setting up my blind character. He believes that you eyes can deceive you. He became blind gave up his eyes to gain enhanced senses beyond sight. When I say he gave up his eye what I means that truly give up his eyes which means from now his has no eyes what so ever. Now his other sense are enhanced beyond those of a human. Since giving up his eyes he gained an unusual form of awareness that allows him to detect all the physical objects around him, including fine details about those objects. This sense is nearly impossible to block or blind.
Physical Description: Metallic copper scales cover his lean and well-defined body. A pair of gigantic wings, shaped like those of an eagle but with metallic American red feathers that culminate in a razor-sharp claw at the upper joints, majestically sweeps out from his back. These wings have a wingspan of eighteen feet. A long segmented horn is located on both sides of his head. For the first third of their total length, these horns curve forward, after which they curve upwards and backwards for the remainder of their length. Thick, bony, horizontal ridges start at his forehead and end at the beginning of the back of his neck. Rising three-fourths of an inch above his head are his pointed and webbed ears. No eyes are found on his head. Instead, he has skin stretched across where his eye sockets should be. Two vertical slits serve as his nose. In place of both arms, he has a knot of flesh at both of his shoulders, from which three highly flexible, nightmarish, shadowy tentacles that can touch the ground emerge. The end of each of these tentacles split into three radial “fingers.” A powerful, tapering, prehensile tail that measures three feet in length extends from the end of his spine. Tipping the three forward-facing prehensile toes and one backward-facing prehensile toe on both of his feet is a razor-sharp talon of bone.

In what kind can we help you?
If you mean enhanced senses, you better have a look in animal kingdom, like Lizbeth, my little doe. In her profile are proven facts about the senses of a deer.
Tactile sense, there’s no better than your own lips, able to sense a fraction of a millimeter.

I am trying to figure how he gain his in enhanced senses. What I thought about was that he gave him eyes up to a wizard who gave him his enhanced senses and transformed his whole body into what you see in the description I posted. But why would the wizard need to transformed m his physical appearance? I don't want to him be overpowered when it comes to his senses. Having him sound like a Daredevil ripoff when it comes to his his enhanced sense something I want to avoid.
Would he be able to fly with these enhanced senses?
When you mentioned using the animal kingdom you got thinking of how the sense of smell that a bear has is better than a bloodhound's. The most common estimate is that a bear can smell about seven times better than a bloodhound dog—several miles minimum. You know I could pinch the senses of a shark. Though it might be to much if has the ability to detect even the faintest of electrical fields along with the ability listed below.
Does this sound a bit overpowered? He possesses an unusual form of awareness that allows him to detect all the physical objects around him, including fine details about those objects. This sense is nearly impossible to block or blind.

No, that’s the point, if you take real existing senses, like the electrical field of a shark, the echo radar of a bat, the smell of a bear or the Jacobson organ that detects pheromones, those “superpowers” exist and aren’t so “super” anymore.
So there’s no over powering, it’s not indestructible Superman with lava look… it exists. You made research and can give real examples of enhanced senses. Knowing that those senses are ONLY enhanced for humans, for a bear it’s totally normal, a shark would die without his electrical field, a bat would just flatter and bump into every obstacle. And even those senses have limits or can be blurred or altered.
He’s no Daredevil, but the combination of an echo radar with electrical field can provide a quite accurate image without seeing it. Yet no colors, no shades, no things that need vision and light.
So even the fact he can fly is ‘excused’, bats fly with very poor vision.
The wizard needs a creature to test different abilities to see how they function on an other being and how they interact. Maybe to use it on himself afterwards or to create the perfect soldier.
