thunderboltsandlightningName: Jen
Personal Journal: NA
Contact: substituteskull (plurk/aim)
Other Characters Played: Bilbo Baggins
Character: Thor Odinson
Series: Marvel Cinematic Universe (Thor/Avengers)
Age: About 1200 years old (appears 30)
History: Here though I will also borrow from the comics (Earth-616 universe) for exploits during the time set before the movies.
Canon Point: During the Avengers, just after he escapes the Hulk-Prison that Loki trapped him in and dropped him out of the helicarrier.
Personality: Raised as the first born son of Odin All-Father, ruler of the realm of Asgard, Thor had never known hardship (other than through training, though he enjoyed this immensely). He was eager and brave and bright enough to learn the history of his people and the rest of the realms though he never excelled scholastically in the same way his adopted brother Loki had.
As first born, Thor was lavished with all sorts of praise and pampered to become the crown prince and the heir to Odin's throne, though his father often told both of his sons that each had an equal chance to ascend. As Thor took after Odin in his lust for battle, his strength, and his strategic ability, it became obvious that Thor was indeed being groomed to take over from them All-Father when Odin was no longer able to rule. Because of this, Thor became arrogant, selfish, and blind to any reality he did not wish to believe in.
Despite spending over a thousand years alongside his brother, Thor never once suspected Loki of harbouring a jealous hatred towards him and right up until Loki's betrayal to reveal him to be an unfit future king, he allowed himself to be goaded and manipulated.
His banishment to Earth and the stripping of his strength and other godly powers did serve to teach him humility, however, and in that way, Loki actually helped him become the sort of man he needed to be to rule after all.
Though disciplined and strong-willing, Thor feels emotions very deeply. He is quick to anger, but also quick to love. His affections and attachment to Jane Foster is an example of this, and his desire to reconcile with Loki does not show his foolishness (no matter how Loki mocks him), just the capacity of his love. Despite his tactical abilities, Thor thinks too much with his heart and that is often the source of his weakness. Sorrow and hope can blind him.
Thor is incredibly old fashioned and not well versed in the ways of Earth or, indeed, of the cultures of any of the other realms. He is easily confused and though recent events have proven him to be resilient in the face of manipulation by others (given that he has been burned so often of late), in many ways Thor is still childish, can over-react, and still sees himself better than most.
Skills and Abilities:
Ability to summon Mjolnir: Mjolnir is a hammer crafted by the dwarves that can only be lifted by a person worthy of it's abilities. Thus, no other cay lift it but Thor. Through Mjolnir, Thor can control the weather (lightning storms, rain, wind, electricity) and direct electricity through it. He also uses the hammer for flight. Thor has the ability to send the hammer away and call for it at will.
Armor materialization: Thor is able to materialize and de-materialize his battle armor at will.
Strength: Thor is incredibly strong, fast, and agile.
Damage absorbion: Thor is resilient to damage and heals quickly. He can sustain falls and blows that would kill most men.
Immortality: It is believed that Asgardians are immortal, though this might not be true as they can grow very old in appearance.
First Person Sample:
Jane,
As yet, I am still unsure of dwelling in this realm. There is little cohesion between cities in a way that reminds me of your Earth. I am left to ponder my location and must wait for the All-Father to summon me again to Asgard or allow me to return to Earth. I fear that this is a trick by my brother and that in my absence, chaos is being unleashed upon the realm I swore to protect.
My hope is to find you safe and well. I will return to you soon.
Third Person Sample:
"Loki!" There was laughter that trickled somewhere down the golden halls of the palace and Thor, pausing at the junction between two in bare feet and chest, turned blindly to follow the sound. He turned left and right again before the laughter reached his ears from somewhere behind him. Blue eyes narrowed and he brushed long strands of blond from his face as he turned on his heels. "Blast your trickery, brother! You will return my possessions or I will see to it that you regret eternally--"
The world darkened and it became harder to breathe. Thor struggled and was forced to his knees, one hand clawing the polished wooden floors and the other at his throat.
"Lo--"
Thor woke with a start, heart pounding in his might chest, a sheen of sweat over his skin. There was no maiden in his bed that evening, though he felt the presence of another pricking at the back of his neck. Thor stood and moved to the window, eyes lifting towards the brilliant black of night. The stars were numerous.
Somewhere out there was his brother. Lost. Dead. And somehow tormenting him with his hatred still. Thor wondered how many centuries it would take to forgive himself for what happened to him before he sought out the constellations where Earth was nestled and, heavy hearted, returned once more to bed.
