The God of Thunder, an immortal being from the realm of Asgard. The protector of the Nine Realms, Thor has protected the world from numerous threats, the tales of his deeds passed down from generation to generation until eventually humanity became so consumed in itself, they lost faith in the old protectors. A champion of his people with a fierce appetite for battle, Thor had fought alongside such legendary heroes as Herakles and Arturus Rex. No foe has ever managed to best the mighty Thor until he faced the world serpent, Jörmungandr.

Besting the beast in battle, Thor walked away knowing Midgard was saved before he succumbed to his wounds. But the tale of Thor has not yet ended. Revived through the power of his father Odin, Thor has returned in time to face Earth's rising threats as men of might and heroes whose legends have not yet been written begin to walk the Earth.[/i][/indent][/indent]

[COLOR=GOLDENROD][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]O R I G I N   &   B A C K S T O R Y:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT][i]Thor is the son of Odin Borson, the King, and Allfather of the realm of Asgard. His mother, however, was a giantess called Jörð, who in actuality was a Pre-Mordial Titan known more commonly as Gaea. Through his father, Thor has two brother whom he was raised alongside, his half-brother Baldur and his adoptive brother Loki who was the same age as Thor and the pair maintained a bitter rivalry throughout their youth. Growing up, Thor was close friends with Heimdall who would go on to also become Thor's closest ally. His circle of friends also included the future Warriors Three; Volstagg, Hogun, and Fandral. Lastly, Thor maintained a fledgling on and off again romance with the young Sif.

Growing to be a powerful and headstrong warrior, Thor grew brash and his thirst for battle was almost unsettling to those around him. Burdened with the role of Protector of the Nine Realms, Thor would often be away from Asgard for great lengths of times, putting a severe strain on his relationship with the Lady Sif, especially since Thor made other consorts in the Realms he visited. His favourite of these was jötunn, Járnsaxa, with whom he laid and fostered a child in secret from all but Heimdall's all-seeing eyes. It was also on these many adventures that Thor first ventured to Midgard, encountering the Olympian hero, Herakles and forming their longstanding rivalry. Thor also brought war to Avallonis, clashing hammer against sword before forming a truce with the realms king, Arturus Rex. 

However, Thor had a destiny far greater than any of his allies, and would eventually go on to confront the monster known as the Midgard Serpent, Jörmungandr. In order to avert the destruction of Midgard, Thor had to defeat Jörmungandr, and the two did battle for numerous days before the serpent finally succumbed to its injuries, its body releasing Midgard and plunging far below the roots of Yggdrasil, the world's tree. However, Jörmungandr venom eventually caught up to Thor and after taking nine paces from the battle, he dropped dead. The battle between Thor and Jörmungandr had unwittingly unleased Ragnarok upon Asgard, and with Thor's death, the realm fell apart, swallowed whole and its people were forced to flee or perish. Departing to the stars, the Asgardians left the ruins of their home behind as they sought to find a new place in the galaxy while Thor's legendary weapon, Mjölnir was lost to the cosmos of the Nine Realms, foretold to be waiting for the return of its master or another to seek it out and prove themselves worthy of its power. 

But time was not a concept that Mjölnir worried nor even considered and in the late summer of the Midgard year of 1990, Erik and Marcy Donaldson gave birth to a son they named Blake. Growing up on his father's farm in the American South West, the Donaldsons lived a modest life, with nothing extraordinary about them. But on the dawn of his eighteenth birthday, Blake began to be plagued with vivid dreams of a life he had never lived. These dreams were, of course, the memories of Thor, who was reincarnated through Blake. The dreams continued to plague Blake for another decade while he left his home in Marville, Oklahoma to attend Texas State University before returning home to open his own veterinarian practice. Thor was soon awoken when a man from Blake's past by the name of Carl Creel began to make trouble in Marville. Nicknamed 'Crusher' during their time together in High School, Creel had seemingly developed abilities which allowed him to fully embrace the nickname. Standing defiantly against him, Blake was struck by a near-fatal blow, laying in the street to die had it not been for an elderly man. The man took a hold of Blake's hand and in an instant, Thor was restored, his memories and enhance fully inhabiting this new body as he defeated Creel in combat. Now, Thor continues his life as Blake, juggling the responsibilities of both his world, as he adjusts to not only acting as a protector of Midgard, but once again restoring peace to the other Realms while seeking to reunite the people of Asgard and rebuild their home.[/i][/indent][/indent]

[INDENT][color=silver][B]ASGARDIAN PHYSIOLOGY:[/B][/color] [i]Thor’s unique physiology of half-Asgardian and Half Elder God grants him the typical powers of an Asgardian God but he is much stronger than the typical members of his race. Thor is currently the second most powerful Asgardian within the Nine Realms and the cosmos surpassed only by his father. As Asgard's warrior prince, Thor trained in the arts of battle, which he has practiced for thousands of years. He is recognized to rely solely on his superior fighting ability, strength, and nigh invulnerability. Odin believes that Thor will eventually become even more powerful than him.

Physically the strongest of all Asgardians, Thos is recognized as the God of Strength. His incredible superhuman strength enables him to easily overpower hoards of enemies of lesser strength. Thor has even stalemated the hero Herakles in several contests, a hero of lore whose strength accomplished nine legendary labours that no other being had ever accomplished. None of these so-called labours, however, came close to Thor's greatest feat, when he lifted the Midgard Serpent, Jörmungandr. A serpent so large, its coils had wrapped around the Earth several times. For this reason, Thor often holds back his vast strength to ensure he does not greatly harm his opponents or the area in which they are in.

Thor can move at great superhuman speeds. Capable of sprinting distances fast enough to visibly appear as nothing more than a blur. Likewise, his reflexes react on the same level, allowing Thor to dodge and respond to attacks almost instantly. Thor's agility, dexterity, balance, and bodily coordination make him a great warrior for battle. He moves with incredible grace and speed despite his considerable size and body density.

His skin, muscle, and bone tissue have many times the density of the same tissue in the body of a human being and even more so than regular Asgardians. Thor is immune to all human diseases as well as its poisons and toxins and is additionally immune to electrocution or poison from radiation. Thor's metabolism is so great that it is nearly impossible for Thor to become drunk except for when he imbibes alcoholic beverages of Asgardian or equal origin. Thor is not immune to all forms of harm, however, and can be defeated by a being whose power matches or exceeds his own, or by high order magic manipulation.

Despite his astounding resistance to injury, it is still possible to injure Thor. However, due to his Asgardian physiology, Thor is able to heal at a rate significantly faster than a normal human and even much faster than most Asgardians. Like all other Asgardians, is not truly immortal. It is possible to kill an Asgardian and other beings in the Nine Realms. More accurately, Asgardians are extremely long-lived beings. Thor ages at a pace far, far slower than a human, and this longevity if further boosted by the consumption of Idunn's Golden Apples. Even in Death, Asgardians do not truly die as many return in reincarnated forms such as both Thor and his brother Loki.

Thor's endurance is much higher than that of humans and most superhumans. Thor has the ability to perform at his physical peak without tiring for very long periods of time. Thor’s body, unlike that of humans, produces almost no fatigue toxins. However, Thor does indeed require rest to rejuvenate himself, but sleep is luxury, rather than something he requires daily.[/i][/indent]

[INDENT][color=silver][B]GOD OF THUNDER:[/B][/color] [i]Thor is the God of thunder born with the natural ability to control weather since birth. Thor normally relies on Mjölnir to control the weather with and release blasts of lightning. Mjölnir allows him to channel his natural abilities more easily, focusing on the hammer as an output. Using his powers without Mjölnir require more effort to summon and are more raw and uncontrolled. Thor is able to summon all elements of the storm, and can even create unnatural weather. He can even discharge lightning bolts from his hands that are lethal and raw in power, able to engulf his hands in lightning to amplify his punches. It is only without Mjölnir that Thor unlocked the full potential of his electrokinetic powers. His power over lightning allow him to generate electrical energy from his own body and summon thunder and lightning from the sky, all without the aid of his former hammer.[/i]

[color=silver][B]SON OF JÖRð:[/B][/color] [i]As the son of Jörð, the Pre-Mordial Titan, Gaea, Thor possess an innate, but limited ability to manipulate the Earth. He can create tremors and earthquakes, sink enemies into the ground or raise the ground in his defense. Though this requires great effort on Thor's part as the gifts of his mother do not come with the ease that his other powers do. Lastly, Thor can communicate with the Earth, sensing disturbances to the world through vibrations far too insignificant for most others to experience.[/i]

[color=silver][B]COMBATANT:[/B][/color] [i]Thor is one of the most trained and experienced warriors in all the Realms. Thor often prefers to use brawling-type techniques when fighting beings of similar levels of strength. Despite being a skilled hand-to-hand combatant, Thor's greatest feats of skill come from his weapon expertise. He is easily one of the greatest and most versatile weapon experts in all the Realms, while Thor in his past life favoured his hammer, Mjölnir, he is skilled in the use of weapons such as an axe, sword, bow and arrow, shields and clubs.[/i]

[color=silver][B]TACTICIAN:[/B][/color] [i]Due to the fact that Thor is a Warrior God, he has had several millennia worth of experience with devising plans of war. Thor derives his great knowledge of war from Midgard as well as the other Realms, all of which the God of Thunder has done battle in.[/i][/indent]

[INDENT][color=silver][B]JÁRNBJÖRN:[/B][/color][i]The first weapon Thor ever called his own, the axe-hammer hybrid saw plenty of action during Thor's use although he ultimately stopped using the weapon after being gifted Mjölnir. However, with Mjölnir missing, Thor has once again a need for a weapon and has chosen to wield this familiar maul.[/i]

[color=silver][B]MJÖLNIR:[/B][/color][i]The weapon of Thor, forged from the heart of a dying star. Mjölnir was a nigh-indestructible hammer gifted to Thor from his father, Odin. Capable of focussing and channel Thor's impressive array of abilities, Thor ultimately came to rely on the weapon and considered it an extension of himself. It was lost to the Nine Realms after his death.[/i]

[color=silver][B]CALIBURNUS:[/B][/color][i]A legendary sword from the realm of Avallonis, Caliburnus is the weapon of Arturus Rex after the sword chose him and allowed itself to be pulled from the stone, deeming him to be a worthy king. The sister weapon to Mjölnir, Caliburnus was forged from the same dying star and is virtually indestructible and capable of cutting through nearly any other metal save for Mjölnir.[/i]

[color=silver][B]MEGINGJÖRð:[/B][/color][i]An Asgardian belt that like Mjölnir, helps Thor to control his considerable Asgardian abilities. The belt allows Thor to easily regulate the output of his strength, allowing him to hold back when necessary or unless the full might of the God of Thunder.[/i]

[color=silver][B]JÁRNGREIPR:[/B][/color][i]A pair of Asgardian bracers which hold Thor's armor and when activated expel a wave of energy that passes over the Asgardian, covering him in his armor and royal garb which his proudly wears into battle.[/i][/indent][/indent]

[INDENT][color=silver][B]MJÖLNIR:[/B][/color] [i]A hammer forged from the heart of a dying star by the dwarven brothers Eitri and Brokkr. The metal crafted for Mjölnir came to be known in Asgard as Uru. It is the sister weapon to the equally powerful sword, Excalibur which residents in the realm of Avalon. The weapon is known for being terribly unbalanced due to a flaw in its creation resulting in a shorter handle. When Thor died, Mjölnir disappeared into the cosmos of the Nine Realms and hasn't been seen since. It is believed by the Asgardians that the hammer will return when her master does.[/i]

[color=silver][B]ODIN BORSON:[/B][/color] [i]The Allfather of Asgard, son of Bor, father to Thor, Loki, and Baldur. Odin was the ruler of Asgard until its demise during Ragnarok. Like the rest of the surviving Asgardians, he was left to wander the galaxy in search of refuge. Confident in his remaining son's ability to lead and knowing one day Thor would be reborn, Odin searched the Nine Realms for his reincarnated son until eventually finding him, in Marville, Oklahoma.[/i]

[color=silver][B]ERIK & MARCY DONALDSON:[/B][/color] [i]Erik and Marcy Donaldson are the parents of Blake Donaldson, Thor's reincarnated self. Erik had studied to be an architect before the early death of his father resulted in him taking over the family farm in Marville Oklahoma. Marcy, on the other hand, was a pediatrician with her own private practice. The life on the farm, however, never truly suited her and had it not been for the birth of Blake, the couple likely would have separated long ago.[/i]

[color=silver][B]JANE FOSTER:[/B][/color] [i]Born in Marville, Oklahoma, Jane Foster was a childhood friend and high-school romance of Blake Donaldson before eventually leading Marville behind and attending school in New York City. Now one of the world's leading astrophysicists, Jane Foster has found herself following a bizarre star pattern which has led her back to Marville, Oklahoma.[/i]

[color=silver][B]BARBARA NORRIS:[/B][/color] [i]Blake Donaldson's current girlfriend. Blake met Barbara while attending Texas State University and the two moved back to Marville so Blake could help his aging father with the farm while running his veterinarian practice. Barbara, on the other hand, works as a Deputy in the Marville Sheriff's Department.[/i]
 
[color=silver][B]HEIMDALL:[/B][/color] [i]Thor's dearest friend and longest ally. During the events of Ragnarok, Heimdall and Loki were locked in combat, when the dust settled neither were living. However much like Thor, it is believed that Heimdall will return again. The master of the Bifrost, without Heimdall, Thor has no hope of gathering the people of Asgard again.[/i]

[color=silver][B]BALDUR:[/B][/color] [i]Baldur is the youngest of Odin's children and half-brother to Thor. With Thor and Loki both dead from the events of Ragnarok, Baldur is the current heir to the throne of Asgard and currently captains a small freighter out of Knowhere as he seeks to unite his wandering people.[/i]

[color=silver][B]LADY SIF:[/B][/color] [i]The former wife of the lady Thor and the current wife of his brother, Baldur. Lady Sif is one of Asgard's mightiest warriors and was foretold to bear the children of Thor who would go on to inherit the mighty Mjölnir. However, Sif miscarried during Ragnarok, leading to the loss of her unborn child. With Thor's death, no heir came for Mjölnir. Eventually, Sif found herself aboard Baldur's vessel and his right hand. The two fell in love and bonded over their common mission, eventually becoming wed.[/i]

[color=silver][B]THE WARRIORS THREE:[/B][/color] [i]Among Thor's closest friends, the Warriors Three is comprised of Volstagg the Valiant, Hogun the Grim, and Fandral the Dashing. The three are among some of Asgard's most fierce warriors, perhaps bested only by Thor and Sif herself. All three were thought to have been killed during Ragnarok but Volstagg survived, although severely injured and weakened. Serving under Baldur, the group has managed to locate the reincarnate bodies of Hogun and Fandral who have joined up with their motley crew.[/i]

[color=silver][B]ARTURUS REX:[/B][/color] [i]The Saxon King and ruler of Kamaalot, Arturus Rex, known in legend simply as King Arthur was originally a foe of Thor's. During an Asgardian siege of Avallonis, Thor and Arturus found themselves pitted in locked combat. But as Mjölnir and Caliburnus are sister weapons, neither could gain an edge on the other. Ultimately, the two came to an understanding and mutual respect, Arturus, before his passing remaining one of Thor's closest allies.[/i]

[color=silver][B]HERAKLES:[/B][/color] [i]A former rival of Thor's, the son of Zeus himself. The pair has often fought over which of them is stronger, each time one stalemating the other. Maintaining a friendly rivalry, the two immortals occasionally go on adventures together, which always end in alcohol and brawl.[/i][/indent][/indent]
[COLOR=GOLDENROD][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]W H A T   M A K E S   T H I S   C H A R A C T E R   U L T I M A T E?:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT][i]This is a Thor who has done everything and yet has done nothing. He lived his mythical history, going on adventures throughout the Nine Realms and time before succumbing to his wounds during Ragnarok as Asgard was destroyed around him. But Thor is immortal, and through Odin's magic, he was reincarnated on Midgard.

Unlike in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thor was not aware of his true identity. He was not sent to Earth in an adult form but was rather birthed through a mortal and raised among them creating Christ and Superman parallels. Likewise, unlike Marvel's Thor, there is no transformation between Thor and his mortal form, this version is both simultaneously Thor Odinson and Blake Donaldson.

My stories will at first focus on Blake/Thor coming to terms with his returned memories and powers, finding a place among Earth's mightiest heroes. From there, Thor's mission will shift to seeking out his lost hammer, Mjölnir and unite the scattered people of Asgard.[/i][/indent][/indent]
[COLOR=GOLDENROD][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]S A M P L E   P O S T:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT]"There you are Ma'am, I'm sure Mr. Cuddles will be right as rain in no time at all." Dr. Blake Donaldson said as he gently passed the obese cat over the examination table to the frail old lady in front of him.

"But please, do try to limit Mr. Cuddles' treats to three per day," Blake added with a smile.

"I'm so sorry Doctor Donaldson, ever since my husband's passed away, I've just been lonely and the Mr. Cuddles here has been my only solace." The woman remarked, her voice cracking slightly as she continued. "And if I don't give Mr. Cuddles treats, he won't come to me. The darn cat always did like Ted more."

"Well, I can suggest a few other ways to attract the cat-" Blake began only to be cut off mid-sentence as a deafening crash echoed from outside on Marville's main street.

"What in tarnation!" Mrs. Henderson exclaimed as Blake held up a hand for her to stay put as he moved out of the examination room and into the lobby where he could get a better view of whatever was happening outside.

"Doctor Donaldson, I'm sure the Sheriff's department can handle whatever it is." The elderly lady added as Blake turned back to look at her.

"That's what I'm afraid of." He retorted as his eyes searched the street for the old Crown Victoria. It didn't take much effort to pick the black and tan car out of the usual traffic that ran up and down Main Street, even less since its lights were reflecting red and blue off the front of the First National Bank across the street. Standing behind the passenger door with her gun drawn, was none other than the woman that Blake had been hoping not to see.

[i]Barbara![/i]

Barbara Norris, his college girlfriend, and common-law partner, the pair had been together for nearly five years now and there was no one in this world who knew Blake better than she did. But her choice of career wasn't exactly something Blake found desirable, his only relief being the staggering lack of violent crime in Marville.

At least until recently.

All over the world, individuals with what could only be described as superpowers, the stuff of old Captain America comic books, had begun to appear and caused what he personally considered to be a disaster. People with that kind of power, relatively unchecked, it was like they weren't held to any sort of responsibility and Blake could only imagine it was going to end in death for far too many people.

"COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!" 

The sound of Sheriff Lamb's voice broke Blake's internal monologue as he looked up to see the figure of a large man in the doorway of the bank. As he stepped into the light, Blake felt a small sense of dread run down his spine as he realized the mutant threat had finally come to Marville. The man's skin appeared metallic in the daylight, shiny and reflective as the high sun beat down on it. In one hand was a large duffle bag, overstuff with wads of cash, no doubt from within the vault of the bank. n the other hand was a crudely made flail, something you'd see an art student try to throw together in shop class back in high-school.

"Wait, I know him," Blake muttered aloud. "That's-"

"CARL CREEL, PUT THE WEAPON DOWN AND YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD!" Lamb continued to issue orders as Blake's former classmate maintained his steady path towards the cruiser. By now, Blake was hardly the only bystander the incident had attracted. After all, the most exciting thing to happen in Marville in the last month was when the local diner, Donar's, tried adding a vegan option to the menu.

Suddenly a collective scream came from the gathered crowd as Creel moved, the flail flying through the air, smashing against the hood of the cruiser as Lamb and Barbara opened fire. Gunshots ricocheted off of Creel's skin, bouncing into the crowd as screams grew louder, accentuated by the cries of pain.[/indent][/indent][/HIDER]
