Magister Merlin Starhawk Info

Magister Merlin Starhawk, aka Merlin, Starhawk, Mage of the Stars, Starry Mage, a lazy bum who forgets to bring mugs out of his room, The Godfather of Magic, among others, is a half-treesprite half-human mage who was born in 200 B.H.W (Before the Hypogean War). 

  He is renowned as the discoverer of magic in around 190 B.H.W, having discovered healing magic by saving his hamster, Hammie, from near death- she later became the first-ever familiar. It is said that Dura herself granted him the key to unlock magic as a mortal. 

  He discovered almost all types of magic, including transformation spells by turning into a starhawk, and glamour spells by binding his chest. 

  He participated in the Hypogean-Celestial War of 1 A.H.W. (After the Hypogean War). It was rumored that he had become a Celestial. 

  After centuries of critical research in magic, astronomy, alchemy, potions, and natural sciences, Magister Merlin Starhawk disappeared in the 15th century A.H.W., often called "The Fall" of the mage, in keeping with the star theme. 

  He first reappeared in 17th century A.H.W., disappeared again, and did so a second time. The legends about the mage continued to spread across the world. 

  The third time, he appeared in the current year 1824 A.H.W. without his memories. He is slowly regaining them, but some are out of reach, as though they are locked away. 

  Hammie knows only that he has been "restarted" thrice, where he was the times he vanished is a mystery to everyone. Not much changed with each restart. 

  But by the third restart, his horns were reduced to nearly imperceptible buds that grow when he finds out more about his past, and binds were placed to keep his incredibly strong magic at bay. 

  Merlin will recover his memories no matter what they might reveal and meet new people along the way. 

  Hopefully, they will steer him clear of repeating his Fall. 

  Relationships: Talene (ex-best friend), Dionel (ex-friend), Hypogeans (enemies), Hammie & Chippy (familiars), Dolly (house caretaker), Lady Illucia (???), Cecia (???), General Hogan (a friend from his second restart), Mirael (student from his second restart), Valen (good friend), Rowan (like a niece to him), Lyca (astronomy friend), Cassade (biggest fan), Bryon (bird man and friend), Soren & Alsa (friends), Silverbeak (minion), Satrana (divination expert), Sinbad (good friend), Hugin (engineering buddy), Sonja & Lucca (intimidating friends), Tasi (friend), Bols (fishing expert). 

Posted this so people have some info on Merlin before I post any fanfics, in case someone is curious or doesn't want to read future ff to get info on him. Bonus random facts I couldn't fit in properly below cut:

  Bonus random facts I couldn't fit in properly but will probably be covered in future fanfic: He's 165cm tall.  He's a vegetarian because he feels bad for animals. He faints... a lot. He's trans and intersex. Collects minerals and watches, and he is obsessed with birds and hamsters. His identity as treesprite-human has been lost over the ages so he hides his ears and horn stubs (which seem to be slowly growing as he regains his memories?) Has an enchanted hat that he seldom takes off. Has a lot of nightmares. Has endless pseudonyms, his latest being "Vulpin" (because he saw a drawing of a fox on a building) upon introduction to Valen. Eventually Valen finds out about the charade though.

Ironically, he has poor long-range vision (about -1 in each eye, but the right sees worse).  Has a penchant for extravagant outfits.  The two golden bands around his hair don't come off.   He went grey at the ripe old age of... 20. His original hair color was bronze, and he wanted to keep his brows dark even after he turned grey, but the spell went awry and now they are permanently jet black along with his lashes. 

  His eyes have always been yellow- a gift from Misarte, according to the wilders.   His mother was a treesprite musician from Vaduso, and his father was an human ex-sailor and merchant from Holistone. His mother was 210 centimeters tall (without her horns, mind you) and his father was 180 centimeters tall. Neither were short, but Merlin is the outlier in terms of height in his family. His grandmothers always blamed it on him not eating enough. He thinks he just lucked out.

The Scarlet Sorceress

Merlinverse game compilation 1

A new skill??

@meepinmeat Alright so I'm spinning the wheel and it has spoketh with this prompt > Teaches a new skill to... Celestino

At most I can see Pirin teach him a new language?? Or weaving, making intricate tapestries if it piques Cel's interest. Sewing and knitting/stitching as a sort of just in case skill to have handy, you never know if/when it will pay off. Seeing as how Tino is a god/demigod... Vanya honestly doubts he can teach this funky Celestial man anything new or worthy to write home about.

Still tries! Or something adventure-related/travel wisdom?

Tea??

Prompt: Compare opinions about Lavinia with Starhawk

Well that's a funny situation, eh? @fujimomozane I can see for some reason Pirin ended up in Starhawk's Mythic House, likely chasing after an anomaly or just got it done with.. Or Merlin effed up again, either way here we are! Somehow the conversation goes to Lavi, and Vanya is trying no to gush about her - Like how well she's gotten with magic-wielding lately, or her combat prowess keeps growing (He's teaching her alll about combat. I mean it.) and how excited he is for her. (Dame and her hubby either bout to have their kiddo or already do.)

A chatterbox trying to suppress himself from babbling, let Starhawk actually get a darn word in, and apologizing about not letting him talk/chatting his head off.

A dance maybe..?

Prompt: Offers to dance with...Molpe

To be honest... He hasn't ran into Molpe very often or knows this magister well enough. May try to ask for a dance awkwardly in very broken Spanish, as he doesn't know the lingo. It's why he didn't teach Molpe a new skill as well- Not that Vanya doesn't like the Magister! Or is avoidant! ;-;) Pirin just really has no clue..

Bickering pt 3

Prompt: Playfully argues/banters with... Violyste

@magister-violyste Ahh yes, bickering or bantering. At least won't be an 'Edward Elric' moment this time around. Instead could be more of a back and forth of witty quips, exchange of knowledge. Pirin is known as a Burning star. Mind you, he's not quite regarded as a literal one... But who knows? Not much is known about the true origins of Night nymphs and many have speculated in the past for them to be actual stars, or star-spirits?? Simply these beings have some ties to the stars for sure in a way.

Bickering pt 4

Playfully argues/banters with...Zelda also known as 'Adherents!Soren bullying poor Mather again'.

@fgfirenation This man can't catch a damn break it seems. From being teased about being a literal star and enduring a good-intentioned cross-survey/ asked lots of questions, to being bullied for being short by a bearman again like last time. This time this fool has not one, not two but three to tease for being short-stacks. Pirin, primarily as the shortest of the trio, Raptor and Ludovic who brought this workaholic (work-addict) to the tavern. Otherwise Vanya and Zelda could swap tea about their partners.

Bickering pt 5 huh?

Or Celestino joins the bullying and later tea about partners. Seriously, what's with being teased left and right today??

Temporarily swaps universes with....Molpe I don't know anything about Molpe so can't say anything..;-;) Maybe Molpe becomes the Moon (like admin) of Pirin's Esperia if we're running the meta premise. But none of the squad knows Spanish so barrier goes hard unfortunately...

Another dance

Prompt is 'Offer to dance with...Sena' on the wheel heh. @bunnybird-afk Pirin offers his patron to dance, or simply these two hanging out as it's been likely so long since last time. It could be Desi dance or Bulgarian or a funky mix of the two for laughs, being silly. And does Malak's herald have tea to spill to him if he hasn't already about a certain Graveborn..

..Assuming that certain Graveborn hasn't broken the news to Sena first, in the first place.

I edited "A Star Reborn" like 10 times at the least, I edited until I physically couldn't look at it anymore and couldn't find a single error. I sorted through those words like my life depended on it. Now that's dedication.

Was it worth it? Well... to me, yes... sort of?

+ the sillies

Betrayal.

I don't know... Merlin looks pretty angry right now.
