    Schmendrick the Magician
    The Last Unicorn
    Enable me, please!
      "My dear you deserve the services of a great wizard, but I’m afraid you’ll have to be glad of the aid of a second-rate pickpocket."

      Schmendrick is kind of like... a Sorcerer in a Wizard's world, to use a D&D analogy. The way he understands magic, you learn specific spells - somatic, verbal, and material components. Everything has to be perfect or it'll turn into wild magic and random consequences. ("Must've gotten the accent wrong.") Instead, he eventually learns that his way of conducting magic is much more natural / innate. ("The power will come to me whenever I need it. And one day, one day it will come to me when I CALL!") He's really good at what we might think of as Cantrips, or meaningless magic that is only barely powerful enough to wow the Normals, like when he was the preshow to a traveling carnival of "homemade horrors." Side note, almost the entire transcript can be found here!

      Schmendrick's world has Harpies, (Eastern) Dragons, Ghost Fireballs of Death in the shape of a Bull, a talking lush of a skeleton, and best of all... A TALKING CAT! Okay, and Unicorns. So basically he would be (in Jax's estimation) right at home in Avalon.

      Still not sure if I'm allowed to incorporate aspects of the book canon (which I'm significantly less familiar with) along with the animated movie, but I'd go with the movie canon if I have to pick one. The main reason this is relevant is how deep Schmendrick's desire to get better at magic goes, but he definitely wants to! He's called all kinds of names ("you juggler!") and shamed (“The legendary Schmendrick? ‘The Runeless Wonder?’ I realize your majesty is a great collector of - *oddities*, but-“) by better wizards like Mommy Fortuna and Mabruk.

      He has a bit of a temper (“You pile of stones! I’ll send all your toenails growing inward, you mess with me!”) but when he gets excited, he also has all the whimsy of a child (“Did you see me? Were you watching? Did you see what I made?"). He doesn't have what you'd call a silver tongue, but he can definitely play word games and does understand sarcasm. (“Walk through a clock. What am I, a magician?”)

      Needless to say, he could be anywhere from a little disheartened at not being any good at magic again to witheringly disappointed at a setback to the conclusion of his lifelong quest, but I would like to think that in a world full of Knights, he would be something a little different to play with! He would probably go the path of either Light magic, as the most natural parallel to the magic he's canonically really good at, or Alchemy, the kind that - while harder for him to do in his canon equivalent - was what ultimately changed his destiny.

omg Last Unicorn... I've never seen characters from that canon (movie or otherwise) on DW, so I'd be thrilled to see Schmendrick (and any other LU cast) here.

A loooong time ago (like, on Livejournal) my little sister wanted to play Amalthea and so I played Schmendrick with her, but I never ported his account over to DW in the move, never expecting the muse to return.

... Yet here we are! :D So I remade the account! I'll at least post to the TDM, so we'll see where it goes!
