Quick Bio Raised by a single mother in a small farming village, Merlin always knew he was different, possessing strange abilities that were not common amongst the villagers. In his late teens, his mother sent him to live with her friend Gaius, who was the court physician of Camelot, but also a former magic practitioner. In Camelot Merlin was forced to keep his magic a secret from everyone, or else be executed by the king. His main goal in life is to fulfill his destiny and help Prince Arthur become a great king. Here in Aledon, he still keeps his magic a secret, not yet understanding that it's accepted much more readily here. Family Merlin recently found his long-lost father, Balinor, the last of the dragon lords. This would be a great character to have around as they only just met before Merlin was brought here. It would be nice to have Hunith, his mother, as well. Merlin doesn't have any other family that he knows of. Perhaps an unknown half-sibling?? Friends Merlin has loads of friends. He's very easy to get along with. It would be nice for him to meet some people who aren't afraid of his magic, to push him to open up about it a little. Enemies Anyone who breaks the law, essentially. He's very protective of his friends, so if you hurt any of them you're in trouble. Romance Merlin doesn't get a lot of action in Camelot, where all the girls are swooning over the prince and knights. I'm definitely open to him getting a girlfriend here though.

Clark/Superman & Merlin Hi I was thinking that perhaps Clark and Merlin could become friends here in Aledon maybe to a point where they reveal each other’s secret in a situation where they had to. Once that their secret are open and known to each other maybe Clark could try and have Merlin use his magic more often in public?

oooh, yes, I like that. I think it'll be great for him to see someone else using their gifts out in the open. =D

Sounds like a plan to me Would you like me to start up a thread for these two? Would you like Superman to meet Merlin first or Clark?

Hook & MerlinI can kind of see them as either unlikely friends or enemies. For the unlikely friends- Maybe Merlin needs to get somewhere and Killian offers to get him there on his ship? And seeing as Killian is a pirate, and therefore not exactly law abiding, Merlin might feel that he doesn't have to hide his magic around him, or Killian discovers Merlin has magic and tries to convince him that it's fine, in fact, that it's better than fine - that magic means power. Merlin might not necessarily agree with that, but at least Hook's being nice For enemies- Killian and Merlin meet and Killian discovers he has magic and tries to exploit it for his own purposes.

Clark Would you mind starting it? Maybe with Clark? EDIT: I have an open thread in the witch's house, if you want to join. =) Hook Awesome ideas! I'd love for them to be unlikely friends. Merlin probably won't agree with Hook's ways, but he'll be nice to him and try to turn him good and stuff. ;D

I can start it. I think he'll want to go to an island - let's call it Enovia - that was supposedly inhabited by witches. EDIT: Started it. =D

Reno and Merlin: That will be fun, as well as slightly amusing. However, all in all , both are good and caring, so they would be friends. All they can be, as they are on the same side. Also at first Reno won't believe it, if he found out that Merlin is a wizard, but he will end up being facinated by that. However, he would disagree wiuth Arthur, about magic, especially with the fact that Merlin is a good guy and all. He will try give Merlin ideas to prove Arthr, that he is wrong about magic. Also he knows nothing about magic, but he knows general ways to prove when the other person is wrong, without hurting anyone.

Jake &Merlin: I think they could make great friends.. Both of them have magic although Jake is scared to use his. Maybe Merlin can be an older brother figure to Jake…? Jake is new to this world and doesn’t understand much of what’s going on just yet.

Jake-
Sounds good! It'll be a nice change of pace for Merlin to kinda mentor someone. =D

Sounds great! The only problem is that Jake is too terrified to use his magic unless he really absolutely has to. Maybe he is put in to some situation where he has to use them?
