About: History/personality

 

(Disclaimer: Magic is in no shape or form can be casted by players. Merlin's actions regarding magic are unable to affect mechanics. They also will adhere to in place lore and deviation will not occur.)

Magic in the past was considered a dark and mysterious power. It is only able to be obtained by marrying the devil, or giving spirits the blood of another. Then, it became a symbol of power and wisdom in King Arthur's legend, by the character of Merlin, head Mage of the round table. Now, it is the explanation of the unknown and the unexplained. However, to a certain boy named 'little fire' by his parent's, it is his driving force.


Aden's start was bitter. Both his parent's died when he was three and no family wished to take care of him. The family nanny however, saw fire in Aden's amber eyes, and began the process of adopting him. After a long legal battle, and the approval of the distant relatives,  the nanny, named Nina, took care of this ginger haired boy in place of the parents. He never really remembered the parent's, so when Nina told him what occurred, the only grief he felt was that he wasn't the son of Nina.


She spun many tales of adventure and magic to Aden when he was 6, stories of king's and fantasy. His interest began to shift towards the wizards of the stories, those who could control the elements and the world. He once proclaimed that he would become a mage, similar to King Arthur's Merlin. The nanny just giggled at his proclamation, believing this to be a simple whim in his childish heart. Yet...


It was a promise.


The study of arcane arts became a obsession to him, worrying his mother. Though, due to good grades (, he believe that intelligence was required for spells), she let him have his fun. Also, it was amusing to watch him trying to conjure magic with jazz hands. Yet to Aden, magic was simply a branch of study, similar to the veins of biology or physics. He read papers of science, and began to look up to scientists such as Eugenie Clark for going into the unknown. He saw magic and these rituals as giant oceans unexplored. There is a vast amount of water with little to no life in them. However, in this sea of rituals there must be one speck of life, one spell which truly works. And so he continues...


10 year's later after Nina's stories, and his studies remained unfruitful. He was frustrated and became quick to anger. Trying to cheer him up, Nina pre-ordered Sword Art Online for his birthday, and secretly hoped he would be able to get away from his obsession. Aden loved his adoptive mother even if her stories started his spiral downward. So with a sigh, he relented to her wishes and put on the helmet.


However, his heart dropped when he realized that he was trapped in this world, and began to curse and scream, unable to continue his studies. Time, however, has calmed him. Instead, he see's this place as a new place of study, and for years he has been gathering materials, information from passing players, and studying the lore of Sword Art Online. He wanted to explore Aincrad, and see if he could introduce magic into a world of steel.


And that's how he ended up here, in a death game, looking for magic he looked for oh so long ago.


Virtues:

My heart and my soul will never give up :
The candle of curiosity in Merlin has flickered in the past. Yet, he would remember the stories, the good that which all of these spell casters have given to the world. From the embers of a dying fire, the flames roar back, and beckon him to continue his journey through the world. Pushing himself up once more, he will continue onward, no matter what.

Defensive Fighter :
Conservation of life, especially human, is a driving motivator for his studies. Normally, he avoids sacrificing live creatures simply from the fact that it seems counter intuitive. So engaging in combat with anything leaves quite a bitter taste in his mouth. Normally considered a flaw, instead it is something that allows him to control his desires, making sure that he only kills monsters, and avoiding players.

Walk among whoever you wish to :
Accepting the fact that his desires do not align with what others call "normal", Merlin does not mind being alone. That does not mean he is unable socialize, him being able to continue a conversation without struggle. However, actively seeking companionship is a rare sight from him, as he knows most do not share his passion.
 


Flaws:

Magically Crazed :
Merlin believes in magic, and whatever he does it all is for the sake of gaining it. Few things can sway him from his path of spell casting, that being family and close friends. For now, due to a lack of both of things in game, he is unhinged with his desires for research, even going so far to research in the "Town of Beginnings" for two years.

Superstitious :
As a person who has researched heavily into magic, symbolism is a large part of his decision making progress. This usually overtakes his logical side, causing him to do seemingly irrational things such as leaving his food supply to the wild, or refuse to enter into various buildings in fear of "angering" a spirit. These simple misunderstands have lead him into a dark path before, and it is no different in game.

Odd :
With hobbies such as invoking daemonic beings, others have found Merlin to be insane. That of course hasn't stopped his studies, however people meeting him during a chant may find him off putting. He has dulled his urge practice his craft in public, mostly due to his mother's scolding. However, it is not possible to preform all rituals inside.
