Rep Power: 0 | Class- Caster Identity- Merlin or Myrddin Physical Features- Multiple sets of markings on his body one that allow him to access powers that require a seal instantaiously and the other that spread the caster armor of the hands (To cast without backlash) all over the body. Weapon of Choice- A wooden staff carved from special wood from his world and is strong as steel with an elvish gem at its tip. Background- Merlin, sage from another world, was an inspired seer and mystic, a wise counselor and faithful friend to three kings. But for all his wisdom, he was bewitched by the Lady of the Lake who turned his love to her own ends. She sapped his power and plunged his store of secret knowledge, and when done, she bound him in stone by his own spell. As the story goes… Merlin, sometimes called Myrddin, was the famous wizard an Arthurian mythology. So powerful was his magic that one medieval tradition credits him with the magical construction of Stonehenge. Another of his works was supposed to be King Arthur’s famous Round Table. Enchanter, wizard and prophet, who oversaw Arthur’s conception and birth, enabled his ascension and acts as high counsel to the King in the early phase of his reign. Merlin’s role as a whole is that of an advisor and scholar. His genius guided the realm. Geoffrey of Monmouth is responsible for Merlin to be known today. Apparently, the Britons were told that a great fortress they had build would never be safe until the ground there had been soaked with the blood of a child who had no mortal father. Such a half-human sacrifice seemed near impossible to achieve, until it was later learned that a beautiful girl was with child by a demon. The child turned out to be Merlin, who, though baptized as a Christian, still possessed fabulous powers inherited from his demon father. Somehow the boy did not need to be sacrificed for the sake of the fortress because it is likely that Merlin was able to deal with the problem by means of magic. There are a various accounts of Merlin’s death. One tells how the wizard forgot about the seat at the round table that only Galahad could use, being the only knight worthy enough to see the Holy Grail. Merlin sat down and was at once swallowed up by the earth. Another story blames the wizard’s death on the passion of women. Either Viviane, possibly The Lady of the Lake, or Nimue, the daughter of a Sicilian Siren, imprisoned him in an enchanted woods after Merlin had mistakenly explained all about the secrets of his own magic. As Merlin once told Sir Gawain, who once passed by: “I am also the greatest fool. I love another more than I love myself, and I taught my beloved how to bind me to herself, and now no one can set me free.” The truth be told is The Lady of the Lake was the one that imprisoned Merlin in stone, a black tower of stone that soon to be known as (Merlin’s Tower). The tower was build from the very core of the earth, blackened by the heat and pressure, it came straight out and swallowed Merlin whole, imprisoning him inside forever, masked by a great forest that grew around the tower, keeping everyone away. But Merlin was no fool. He did not give away all of his secrets. There were a few he left hidden like all good wizards. Personality- Myrddin is quiet and complacent, knowing full well of his powers and how much can happen if he loses the quite in his mind. But even with this he is rather light guy that enjoys talking as much at not. If you saw him on the side of the street would not give him a second glance even though he attracts alot of attention when he wants to. Myrddin has no care for humanity knowing full well its destination on the grand scale and will adopt his master wishes without question. Even after all his mistakes with women and one that nearly claimed him whole he is still the wisecracking hopeless romantic that he always was, well at least when his wife isnt around...
