~Basic info~

Behind every great individual, there is that voice which keeps them going onward and toward their next great adventure. [/center][/i]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Character Info~

Now now then, a little bit of good old fashion research never hurt anyone.[/center][/b][/i]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Name ~ : Merlin the Great at your service

Age ~ : So as to not insult to injury I will just say that I am indeed rather old.

Birthplace ~ : You may very well assume my birthplace is Radiant Garden. As to whether or not you are correct I shan't say.

Gender ~ : How rude of you to ask! People of the female persuasion don't have beards as long as mine! At least they don't tend to. Squirrels are a different story.

Race ~ : Despite the many forms I can take, I am human. Well as human as a magical wizard can be.

Special Class ~ : Does wizard count as a special class? If not then I suppose I am a tech.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Appearance~

As a wizard I can take the appearances of many things, though my transformations may not always be intentional.

[/b][/i]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Physical appearance ~ : Well I am quite tall. I'd say around six foot three inches to be precise, or rather semi-precise. I am rather skinny (though that's expected of an old codger like myself), and weigh about 145 pounds, though this is merely speculation. Now don't tell anyone this, but I've lost most of my hair. Or rather, it relocated to my face, and that forms the rather long silvery beard you see now. And just because I'm old does not mean I have wrinkles, though I suppose you wouldn't be wrong if you said I did.

Merlin

Clothing/Accessories ~ : Ah yes, my apparel. Well it is rather unique to some maybe, but you might find that amongst the elderly, we tend to wear this sort of thing all the time. It's a light blue night gown. Yes, with matching shoes, and even a tall hat! I even wear spectacles. Well I'll be, I seem to fit the stereotype of an old man rather well now don't I?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Personality~

I may be an old, but I still have plenty of spunk!

[/i]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alignment ~ : I'm good. Except I do tend to do some mean things from time to time.

Behavior ~ : Have I ever mentioned just how much I despise technology. Oh why with all the racket it makes, and for all the troubles it causes, I just don't see why that grumpy good for nothing mechanic can stand it. If it wasn't for the fact that he's done more good for Radiant Garden than harm, I doubt I'd even let him use my home as a base! Of course Leon and the others are always welcome, but Cid is on thin ice!

I do my best to help with the restoration of Radiant Garden, and my magic is a big help. Sure it backfires from time to time, but at least I can fix it! Well, unless Cid makes things worse, or those infernal Heartless do. Oh how I loathe Heartless. They take our home once, and then they have the nerve to try and take it again. If my magic was nearly as effective as Sora's Keyblade is, well then, I'd have no trouble at all with them.

~Weapons~

How uncivilized do you think I am that I would resort to using a weapon!?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Primary Weapon(s)

ID: Magic
Quality: Supreme

Description: Good old fashion magic. It has no real form, but usually looks like sparkling dust flying through the air. It is usually channeled through the wand Merlin carries, though he doesn't need it to use it (see appearance for the wand).

Abilities:

Diluted Familiarity!: Allows Merlin to make any magic or magical ability used against him weaker. Any damage from abilities equals in strength to a lower ability strength. Weak abilities don't do any damage. Magic equips such as fire do minimal damage.

Strength: Weak
Uses: Passive

Multipurpose Magic! (canon ability): Merlin has the ability to temporarily grant another person use of magic. This magic is one of the main elements (fire, blizzard, thunder, aero), and is always a weak version of it. They keep this ability to use magic for three posts before they lose it.

Strength: Weak
Uses: Infinite, 2 post cooldown

Poof! (canon ability): Poof! allows Merlin to vanish in a cloud of smoke, and reappear ten feet away. He can't attack the same turn he uses this ability.

Strength: Weak
Uses: Infinite, one post cooldown

Transform! (canon ability): Merlin has the ability to transform himself (or others) into anything he can think of. If he uses it on another person they must be within fifteen feet for it to affect them. When he uses this ability on someone else a single ray of magic fires forward, but at the end of the line, it explodes, giving it another five feet reach. If he uses it on himself he just taps his head. Each form only lasts for two posts.

Strength: Moderate
Uses: Infinite, 2 post cooldown

Animate! (canon ability): Merlin has the ability to animate inanimate objects, and make them fight for him. They can be anything he wants, from swords, to even full grown trees. This lasts for three posts.

Strength: Strong
Uses: 5, two post cooldown

Equips

1. Reflect- When activated magic abilities targeted against the user are reflected back at the opponent with equal speed and strength. Does not affect ordinary physical or weapon attacks(Magical weapon attacks will still be affected). The user can not move when activated. Three uses per battle, lasts 1 post.

2. Gravity- Increase the gravity above a target in the form of a dark sphere of magic that flattens out to shoot down and to slam it into the ground. Damage is equivalent to a moderate ability and is multiplied if the target was in the air and fell a farther distance or if the target's body mass/weight is quite high. The opponent can escape only by moving in a horizontal direction any vertical movement will get them caught. Five uses per battle, only lasts 1 post and can not be used again for 1 of your posts.

Special Abilities

N/A


Minions

Grade: B

Name(s): Archimedes

Appearance(s): Archimedes

Abilities:

Decoy!:
Archimedes has the ability to draw one attack away from Merlin, and at himself. This should be noted that this isn't by his choice, but rather Merlin put a spell on him making it so he had to, after Archimedes hid Merlin's wand one day. Strong abilities are affected as well, but may or may not hit him as other attacks would.

Strength: Moderate
Uses: up to 2 (depending on strength), one post cooldown

Elemental Weakness: Lightning

History: Archimedes and Merlin have been companions for many years. Heck they even helped train a future king of England once. After that Archimedes spent most of his time in Merlin's magic bag, only to leave when he needed to stretch his wings. Recently Merlin has forced him out of the bag, and to help him out, just like he did in the good old days. Or at least, that was what Merlin told him before he pulled out his wand...

~History~

As you slay the last of the beasts, you put your weapon aside, and walk away, knowing your tale of bravery will be told for thousands of years to come.

~Class~

Before you embark on your journey a vision comes upon you. You see three weapons in front of you.

~ A sword of terrible destruction - The power of the warrior: Invincible courage.

~ A shield to repel all - The power of the guardian: Kindness to aid friends.

~ A staff of wonder and ruin - The power of the mystic: Inner strength.

You know that one of them must be chosen. What power will you seek?

Merlin takes the staff, which turns into his wand!
