CHARACTER NAME: Merlin
CHARACTER SERIES: that show about magic on the bbc
[OOC]
Backtagging: Definitely, yes!
Threadhopping: Also, yes!
Fourthwalling: In terms of saying he's from a show? No. In terms of somehow being well known? Sure.
Offensive subjects (elaborate): n/a
[IC]
Hugging this character: A w k w a r d depending on who it is! The closer you are to him as a friend, then the more likely it is!
Kissing this character: Even more awkward, tbh.
Flirting with this character: It would be surprising, but alright. to be honest his style of flirting is teasing so... There we go
Fighting with this character: Let me know beforehand so we can work stuff out, he's more likely to use magic to dodge etc
Injuring this character (include limits and severity): Again, let me know. Generally I don't have many limits but it'd depend on the purpose, etc.
Killing this character: Not easily done, but possible especially in ViViD or something, I guess! Just talk to me first.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: You can, though be surprised when he starts talking back???
Warnings: Merlin is of the Old Religion, someone born with magic. He has the ability to use magic without spells and enchantments as it is something natural to him.
As a preface, I'll link this wiki page that uses the Merlin: the complete guide as a source. Here there are links to different types of magic as well as lists of the spells used in the show. It's also broken down a little on this page.
In my own words, however, I will say that Merlin, is considered somewhat immortal as he lives way too long and is pretty difficult to kill later on in the show. In series two, meanwhile, he's still in the learning stage and still messes up spells pretty often. This is definitely something I'll keep in mind while in game, as part of the reason I chose this canon point is to explore the learning path while in game.
In terms of the kind of magic he possesses, he can control all of the elements to an extent. He's used air to propel flames forward to kill a creature when Arthur was in danger and to create a tornado to force a group of bandits away. He's used fire to make lights and to kill creatures. He's used water to try and wake Gaius and has used it for healing. He's used earth to break down rocks that have blocked a door and to create an earthquake. I would say, however, that his two stronger elements are fire and air at this point, as they are the two most commonly used.
He can lock and unlock doors. He's even copied a noble scroll from a book so Lancelot could try to be a knight for Camelot. He can also do verbal and non-verbal types of telekinesis which can range from getting keys from Arthur's belt to ...forcing someone's trousers to fall. This links to an animation spell which is like making boots walk themselves forward or turning a dog stone statue into a real dog.
He's able to stun or throw a person or thing back by using a verbal or non-verbal spell too. This is shown by how he killed one of the stone statue gargoyles Cornelius controlled in The Curse of Cornelius Sigan and when he threw Jonas back in the episode Beauty and the Beast. He's able to force someone to fall asleep, though at this point hasn't tried to wake someone from a spell.
More importantly, Merlin has gained powers of the Old Religion from the Isle of the Blessed that would be considered as the dominion over life and death. Nimueh was the one who gave him the water from the cup of life, but after she tried to claim his mother's and then Gaius' lives, Merlin took hers by striking her down with lightning, thus creating a balance that was necessary to save Arthur's life.
Magic users in Merlin are able to communicate through telepathy, including Merlin, though it requires the other person to also be a magic user.
At his canon point Merlin hasn't used a teleportation spell which is pretty much the only type of magic he hasn't at least tried at this point. He also hasn't scryed at this point either, which is seeing the future with a crystal or by using water. He hasn't done this spell just yet, but in the series after his canon point he's able to age himself, turning into an old man to disguise himself so he could use magic freely in front of others. (This definitely still has consequences, but it's safer than doing it in his own image.)
Let me know if there is anything in particular you would like me to avoid!
