I couldn't find the right place to post this, so here it is.
Anyway, Merlin as a sixteen-year-old boy appears as an important (but somewhat minor) character in my story. I looked up the Wikipedia article on him, and he's been depicted every single way imaginable, from a raving lunatic to a Dumbledore-type dude to an evil warlord with no magic powers to a good and brave soldier to a little half-beast boy to a brilliant but easily-lured-by-an-attractive-nymph young man.
So what's your impression of this well-known wizard? I want to see how my version of him holds up.

Merlin's amazing...I think of him as a sort of dumbledore-y type person though a bit forgetful and clueless at times...this impression coming mostly from the 'Once and Future King'. I don't really like him being a young boy in 'The lost years of Merlin' series though they're not really all that bad...I just don't think of Merlin as ever being young...

Now that I've written my story, I can't think of Merlin as being old, which is rather... non-handy. When I found out Eric Idle was playing Merlin in "Shrek The Third," I went, "Noo! He can't be Merlin! His voice is all wrong-- he's too old!"
Then I realized that Merlin would be an old guy with a beard in said film.

i always think of merlin as an old, tall, thin man with a white beard to his knees, wearing a pointy blue hat and a long, dress-like shirt, no visible pants and weird, brown, slipper-like shoes. blame the sword in the stone cartoon movie for that one..

I've never seen that movie, although I saw the "That's What Makes The World Go 'Round" song from it on a singalong tape... the one where they're changing into all of the different animals and stuff...

merlin to me is a young youth who has eternal youth, but prefers to look older and wiser.
P.S. From the movie Merlin

I didn't say you said you didn't like it. I was simply saying that I, personally, am fond of it.

never gave it much thought, but it seems to me to be an old dude name. y'know, like dumbledore is an old dude name? can you imagine calling a kid "albus dumbledore?" it's like that. but i suppose if he was a kid, he'd have to be smexy. *shrugs* may as well be.

'A young youth who has eternal youth' Well that seems a bit repetitive........

Dumbledore would be an awesome kid. If he went to my school, I would want to be his best friend.
