|History=Men have histories, but Gods have myths, and so it is with Thor Odinson, child of the Allfather. There is no certainty in his origin, for the eternal cycle of Ragnarok has created many lives and many endings for all the Gods of Asgard and for dimensions beyond. And Thor is no exception, for his is a key part of that cycle: he is the slayer of the Midgard Serpent, though in his victory, he is slain by it. This is a role he has filled, but also one he is destined to fulfill again.<br><br>Yet from his father (in a fashion), Thor has heard tales of his newest life, or lives, as it may be. To join the powers of Asgard and Midgard and perhaps thus alter the balance of this cycle, Odin left his wife and sought out Jord - Gaea - the Elder Goddess of the earth itself. The nature of their union created something unique in Thor, the potential to be strongest of all the Asgardian pantheon, and perhaps of all Gods. Yet for his thousands of years of life and the different lives he has lived in those eons, Thor has not wholly grown to that potential.<br><br>He was raised as the Prince of Asgard in the presence of his adopted brother Loki, a deformed child of the frost giants Odin had taken in to repay a debt of honor. Loki was always jealous of Thor, and hated him, and yet the two were very much as brothers, going on many adventurers by one another's side. For as often as Loki would act against him, plotting his death many times over, Thor loved him, and would, in time, forgive his seemingly endless tresspasses again and again. His friends were his fellow gods Balder and Sif, and among these companions, he undertook many adventures to prove his worth, valor and the pureness of heart to his father. By doing so, he received Mjolnir, crafted by dwarven kings and enchanted by Odin, a weapon that would serve him through eternity.<br><br>But the story of Thor in Asgard, Thor with his companions, Thor fighting beside and against his brother, Thor proving worthy of Mjolnir, was only one of the stories of his life. In different times, he went, or was sent by his father, into the world of men, sometimes as a God, sometimes becoming nearly as a mortal himself. He inspired the valor of the Norse, but turned from them when he saw their lust for violence, and in such fashion inspired the rise and fall of the Viking Age. He became the mortal heroes Siegmund and Siegfried, father and son who lived and died reclaiming the Ring of the Nibelung, ultimately in Odin's name. Beyond this, Thor may have lived other lives still. Lives meant to test him, lives meant to teach him.<br><br>One such life saw him come to earth in the modern era, in the form of a crippled, but brilliant medical student. At other times, perhaps an architect, perhaps a paramedic? Perhaps all of them, perhaps none.<br><br>As it stands, Thor lives, for now, only as himself, serving his father and Asgard as representative on Earth in a time where many Gods and beings of power seem to tread upon it. He has a mortal identity he uses upon convenience (Sigurd Jarlson), though it, unlike many prior is no conjured or possessed existence, but a mere contrivance of occasional necessity. In this time of Gods on earth, he does not fear to show his true self, save where it may inconvenience his purposes. | |History=Men have histories, but Gods have myths, and so it is with Thor Odinson, child of the Allfather.

|Personality=As a Prince among Gods, Thor possesses many desirable personal qualities: He is charming and gregarious, extroverted in the extreme, a willing and loyal friend to all who do not name themselves his foe. He is adventurous and confident, one who leads rather than waiting to follow. He is valorous and good, honorable in war and even merciful to foes who display a similar code. But of course, in all that is shining and bright in the Asgardian Princeling, there are the burdens of his station and his destiny, for he has lived his entire life, indeed many different lives, to prove himself worthy to the Allfather and to his people. In his desire to prove his worth, he is unrelenting. In his convictions for what is good and right, he is unwavering. And in his confidence, he his blind to any weakness or failing. | |Personality=As a Prince among Gods, Thor possesses many desirable personal qualities: He is charming and gregarious, extroverted in the extreme, a willing and loyal friend to all who do not name themselves his foe.

|Abilities= | |Abilities=<span style="color:#1F75FE">'''ALLSPEAK'''</span><BR>Asgardians possess the ability to speak all the languages of the Nine Realms, allowing him to communicate in any language, human or alien.<BR><BR><span style="color:#EE204D">'''GOD-FORCE'''</span><BR>The core of his being granted by his hybrid divine heritage as the son of the Skyfather Odin and the Elder Goddess Gaea, Thor's life-force fuels his vast powers and grants him full access to them outside his own realm. Only the most powerful beings, such as the Skyfathers, the most powerful demonic lords, or truly Cosmic entities, can affect it directly. To lesser beings, it is an eternal spark, making direct attacks upon his lifeforce or soul largely a futile endeavor.<BR><BR>His powerful essence also grants him an unfailing stamina, allowing him to undertake appropriately godly feats, such as battling armies of giants for months at a time without rest, and the ability to heal from the most grevious wounds in time. While not technically immortal, he possesses the longevity of all Asgardians, and can maintain his youth by consuming the Apples of Idunn.<BR><BR>Although he uses Mjolnir to perform many feats, it is ultimately only a tool (and to some degree, a crutch) used to shape and control these energies, and most if not all of Thor's powers are innate to him. Indeed, by releasing those energies, he can perform the God-blast unaided, although without Mjolnir, it would surely bring ruin to everything and everyone around him.<BR><BR><span style="color:#1F75FE">'''GOD OF STORMS'''</span><BR>As the God of Thunder and son of Gaea, Thor has great power of the natural elements. He is able to summon huge storms with powerful winds, rain, blizzards of ice and snow, and of course, thunder and lightning, and unleash these upon his foes at his whim. He can also create tremors, landslides, and open chasms in the earth, and potentially create earthquakes of continental scale and intensity, far off the scientific Richter scale. On occasions, he has even created unnatural weather like fiery rains. Thor can also directly discharge lightning bolts from his hands, or use that same energy to empower his physical blows. Notably, while Thor possesses his power over the weather naturally by his divine birthright, he normally relies on Mjolnir to grant him more precise control and regulate the output of the raw energies that he commands.<BR><BR><span style="color:#EE204D">'''INVULNERABILITY'''</span><BR>Owing to his hybrid divine heritage and powerful life force, Thor is invulnerable to a host of threats, small and large. Human disease, poisons, toxins and even radiation are of no concern, and he can drink copious amounts of alcohol without becoming drunk, unless the brew is itself of godly origin. Naturally, as the God of Thunder, electricity poses no threat to him, and he can endure extremes of temperature and pressure so intense as to survive at the center of the sun or in the cold void of space. In physical combat, he can withstand blows from the most powerful beings imaginable, including Celestials and other Gods, although depending on their magnitude, such attacks may cause him pain, fatigue, or lesser injury. Ultimately, his nature means that he can only truly be felled<BR><BR><span style="color:#1F75FE">'''KEEN SENSES'''</span><BR>Thor can hear a scream from across a planet and track objects moving faster than the speed of light with his vision.<BR><BR><span style="color:#EE204D">'''SPEED'''</span><BR>Thor is possessed of divine speed, moving 'as fast as the lightning he commands,' and is capable of reacting to gunfire and similar threats. In flight, he has exceeded the speed of light and kept pace with cosmic beings while traveling across space, although upon Earth such velocities are impossible without doing harm to the world around him.<BR><BR><span style="color:#1F75FE">'''STRENGTH OF THE GODS'''</span><BR>Owing to his heritage and destiny, Thor is physically the strongest among the Asgardian gods, and indeed one of the strongest beings in existence below the level of truly omnipotent or cosmic forces. Able to effortlessly lift buildings, gauging his strength on such scales is essentially pointless, as he is frequently called upon to perform feats of more mythic nature. Throwing (or shattering) planetary or stellar scale objects is well within his ability, as is breaking otherwise unbreakable materials like adamantium or uru. | ||
|Skills=<span style="color:#EE204D">'''KNOWLEDGE'''</span><BR>Although considered by some a hot-heated warrior brute, Thor is not un-intelligent. More significantly, he possesses knowledge and understanding befitting millenias of experience with the cosmic and the divine, myth and magic, and with the workings of Asgard. On earth, he has lived many lives, and although he does not retain full memories of most of these existences, some fragments remain, giving him a greater grasp of humanity than his anachronistic appearance may suggest.

Profile
Thor Odinson, Prince of Asgard and God of Thunder, he is a figure stepped from the age of myth and legend into modern-day Earth. While humans have known him in different names and forms throughout the ages, a hero of many more myths than one, there is little doubting that he is the inspiration of the Norse deity of the same name, one whose influence and reputation endures through the ages. With his magic hammer Mjolnir in hand, he commands the raging elements and can strike down any foe who stands against him. It is fortunate, then, that he has taken the side of the heroic Avengers, confirming his status as a champion for Midgard as well as Asgard, standing with God and man alike against the coming of Ragnarok and any lesser evil.
