[B][SIZE=7]Asgard[/SIZE][/B]
[/CENTER]

[B]Leader:[/B] All-Father Odin Borson

[B]Reason For Being Here:[/B] The World Eater, Galactus, has fallen in battle. His death has freed the great death entity known as Abraxas from his chains. Abraxas sought revenge against Eternity for imprisoning him and lashed out against the multiverse, the life force of Eternity. Solar systems were shattered by a swing of his arm. Galaxies burned in impossible fire when he spoke. There was no escaping the destruction of the universes. The heroes of earth and beyond put up a combined front in an effort to stop the malevolent monstrosity. For months, the might of all the multiverse held the beast at bay. But without Galactus' might, they only delayed the inevitable. Many races sought to leave their home multiverse. They used whatever magic, science or divine intervention they could muster to leave. TOAA, The One Above All, the God of this multiverse, assisted in the evacuation. He promised that the multiverse would be restored and the people returned in time. But for now, they had to abandon their homeworlds to Abraxas.

Asgard was one of the last worlds to leave. Odin Borson was no coward; he refused to run. He gathered up all of the Odinforce within him and attempted to meet Abraxas head on. He struck the being with all the power he had. But even the strength to crack worlds could not budge Abraxas. Odin was severely wounded and drained of most of his power before his son, Thor, teleported them back to Asgard where TOAA transported them to a far away universe, where they would remain in refugee until this great war was done.

[spoiler=Traits]
[U]Strengths-[/U]

[B]Gods Among Men:[/B] Asgardians cannot die of old age. They are impossibly hard to kill, though it can be managed. The lowest of Asgardian people are completely immune to small caliber slug weapons such as pistols or sub machine guns. They can survive extreme temperatures and pressures, allowing them to survive in a vacuum for extended periods of time, (although Valkyrior must undergo extensive magical enchanting before they are able to survive indefinitely in space) An Asgardian requires minimal oxygen to live, and thus can hold their breath for hours on end. Asgardians possess superhuman strength, speed, stamina, and agility unparalleled by many races. A trained warrior can bend steel, outrun a cheetah and perform feats of gymnastics that would make human Olympic competitors look like children.

[B]Almighty Defenders:[/B] Odin, Thor, Beta Ray Bill, Thunderstrike...Asgard is shielded from reproach by the most powerful heroes in the known galaxy. Men and women who can singlehandedly hold off entire fleets and stop armies in their tracks. They are a force to be reckoned with, that much is assured.

[B]Natural Magicians:[/B] Asgardians are all born with innate connections to magic. They are able to pick up, learn and train in new arts quite easily. Everything Asgard uses to compete with other civilizations comes from their magic. Faster Than Light travel, impossibly durable armors, arrows capable of piercing a ship's hull. All powered by magic.

[U]Weaknesses-[/U]

[B]A House Divided:[/B] Ever since the fall of their home universe, the many of the peoples of the nine realms have been forced to live and survive together on Asgard. Some of them being former enemies. The threat of Ambraxas looming over them is what allowed such a volatile alliance to exist; but without a big bad on the horizon, alliances are not going to last long. Relations are already beginning to break down and its all the kings can do to stave off war. Hopefully when they find a new land to settle the various races will spread out and tension will fall.

[B]Technophobe:[/B] Asgardians do not trust technology, especially technology as advanced as the things they have and will continue to encounter in this new universe. They refuse to integrate anything new into their culture and society and as such cannot compete against enemy armies and fleets in the conventional way.

[B]Who Watches the Watcher:[/B] The only reason a much larger nation can't park its fleet in orbit and bombard Asgard into oblivion is the watchful, vigilant eye of Asgard's heroes. They must always be on the alert for invasion. Therefore, an offensive front is nigh impossible to construct during a full-fledged war. There are only so many powerful heroes to go around; and the vast majority of them must stay and protect Asgard, leaving little room for attack. [/spoiler]
