Son of Odin, god of thunder, who commands the lightning and the storm! ...at least I was."[/color][/sup][/CENTER] [INDENT][INDENT][i]Asgard lies in ruins. Its survivors are scattered. Its prince, THOR ODINSON, drifts through space barely alive. When he awakes, he finds that he can no longer wield the great hammer MJOLNIR, his only hope of finding and extracting revenge on those responsible for destroying his world. In his quest to discover what has happened, he will come across other broken and lost individuals, leading him on an intergalactic adventure worthy of song on Asgard. In this universe, Thor has never been to Earth. Or at least, modern Earth. He's been adventuring in the Nine Realms, being his normal cocky self. But his world comes crashing down when RAGNAROK is triggered long before prophecy was foretold. On his journey to discover how that came to be and regain his worthiness, he will befriend a down and out pirate, a banished warrior, and a...raccoon and a tree. Though they seem to be nothing more than junk floating in space, they will become one of the universe's greatest forces of good.[/i][/indent][/indent] [COLOR=1E90FF][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT][i]I've never really played Thor before, and wanted to do something more than the usual story of him losing Mjolnir.

At least he was until Asgard was destroyed in Ragnarok. Now homeless and alone, and without the power of Mjolnir, Thor must learn what it means to be a true hero before he can avenge Asgard and its people. [b]Peter Quill/Star-Lord[/b] - Star-Lord is a down-on-his-luck Ravager (a form of Space Pirate). Shiftless and directionless, Quill is only out for himself and his desire to be a galaxy renowned adventurer.

He is a brilliant tactical mind, pilot, and engineer. He has a love for weaponry of all kind, and is fiercely loyal to his friend Groot.

He wasn't sure whether he was alive or dead. Considering what was happening the last time he remembered having thoughts, dead was the most likely answer. Still, being dead would be a welcomed respite to Ragnarok. So much fire, noise, and death had consumed him there. Even to a legendary warrior like himself it was nearly too much to bear. Through the void he remembered the sight of Surtur standing as tall as a mountain, towering above Asgard. He could feel it when the demon plunged his fiery sword into the heart of his home, ending it in the blink of an eye. Around Thor his friends and family fought valiantly against the invading hordes, but it was all for not. They were not prepared. Ragnarok was not to come for years, yet it had happened just that day. The faces of the dead floated through his consciousness. The Warriors Three laid hewn on the steps of the palace. Lady Sif slumped over in his arms. His father Odin yelled defiantly as Sutur's blade pierced through the skin of Asgard and into its heart. The Allfather was consumed by blinding light as Asgard was obliterated. And Loki...Loki was in the great library when the attack came. It was where Sutur's hordes breached the wall. Thor knew his brother had perished, even if he did not see the body himself. Everyone was gone. None of them were left. Thor had no idea how he survived. He was strong, of course. Possibly the greatest warrior Asgard have ever known. But how he could survive when so many other brave and worthy warriors did not made no sense. He was no more honorable than another Asgardian warrior. Someone had defied prophecy. Someone had moved the cogs of the universe forward. Whoever had the power to do that was a threat...A threat worthy of a battle with the mighty Thor. Yes. That was what he would do. He would find the one responsible and he would extract revenge. Revenge for the warriors he lost and the destiny that was stolen from him. Asgard and its people were his to protect, and they were taken from him. A bump into a rocky surface let him know it was time to take stock of his surroundings. Thor cautiously opened his eyes to find himself stuck to a large asteroid in some god forsaken spit of space. The explosion of Asgard was powerful and vast. For all he knew he was on the other side of the cosmos. Luckily for him, he heard the hum a familiar tool nearby. His heart skipped like a child with anticipation. He may have been nowhere, but he had Mjolnir. The great hammer had never failed him. It was nearly as feared as he was in the Nine Realms. It had taken him from one side of the universe to the other countless times, and had slain ten times as many foes. As long as he had it, he had hope. Thor stood on shaky legs. He must have been unconscious for longer than he thought. His muscles were far more out of work than expected. It took him a few moments to gain his footing, but then remembered that Mjolnir always made him feel stronger. Holding the hammer would do him good at a time like this. His hand shot out to the side and he called for the legendary weapon. But it did not come. He waited for far longer than it should have taken, and peered down at his hand. Odd. He began a trek towards where he sensed the hammer was. The rocky, uneven terrain of the asteroid made it a tough time, but he had been worse places. Jotunheim was just as rocky, but everything there was also covered in a maddening layer of ice. It made sticking one's feet for a proper blow on a Frost Giant tricky. But he could do that with little effort. Few others could. As far as Thor knew, Odin was the only other one as adept at fighting there as anywhere else. After a short trek, he saw the hammer's metallic, brick-shaped head glisten in the starlight. Its dragon-leather wrapped handle pointed up like a sign post pointing Thor the way. He could see the runes carved into the Uru metal that comprised the hammer. They were the spells Odin and the Dwarves had inlaid into the hammer at its creation. The God of Thunder smiled and approached. He bent down to pick up the weapon, but as his hand pulled he felt the weight of the universe pull back against him. Confused, he pulled again but the hammer did not budge. Thor attempted to pull with both arms and still it did not shift. Becoming panicked, he pulled with all his considerable might. His feet began to dig into the hard rock of the asteroid. He felt its crust cracking beneath him. Yet Mjolnir did not budge. "Unworthy." The word slipped from his tongue as a whisper. Mjolnir was not like other weapons. The various spells and incantations that had been placed on it gave it something of a mind of its own. If it did not feel its bearer was worthy, it could not be picked up. And Thor had now been deemed unworthy. The Asgardian prince fell to his knees in despair.

She has been tossed into this world with little-to-no memory of who she truly is and why she is in the present time. All she knows is that she is the greatest superhero in the world, and she's going to prove it. With the help of her AI Skeets, she's going to save the world, and make sure everyone knows about it.[/i][/indent][/indent] [COLOR=1E90FF][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT][i]Booster has no idea who she really is or where she really came from. She has no memory from before awakening in the current timeline, but her AI companion Skeets is certain she came to stop some grave coming catastrophe. This is backed up by the dreams she has almost nightly. They show a huge, apocalyptic battle where the world seems to be on fire and on the brink of total destruction. Her desire to find out the truth will really drive her heroic actions, but she also can't help but fall into the glitz and glamour of the superhero life. She'll struggle between her duty, her desire to find out who she really is, and her substantial ego. My goal is to reveal where and when she really came from gradually, increasing her personal stake in the world as well as inner turmoil. I also am looking forward to having fun with the Booster persona in the game, giving me an opportunity to interact more with other players.[/i][/indent][/indent] [COLOR=1E90FF][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT][i][b]Peak Human Performance[/b] Thanks to futuristic bio-engineering, Booster is the peak of human performance.

"Booster we have arrived!" Her eyes opened tentatively, revealing the panic that had set into the city around her. She could see people running erratically, looking behind them as they did so. They were escaping something, that much was to be sure. But what? And, more importantly, where the hell was she? More, more importantly, who the hell was she? She had absolutely no recollection of who she was, where she was, or why she was here. That was worrying. Suddenly, the world in front of her blinked out. The chaotic, yet living, city was replaced with one that was dead. Its buildings crumbled around her. Fire raged across the horizon revealing an apocalyptic hellscape. She turned frantically, searching for any sign of life. Had she just been transported to another world? Was she blinking from one existence to another? Instead of the panicked citizenry of the last world, the only sign of life she saw here were the bodies that litered the city street. Some were in pieces, others lay under rubble, and some seemed to have been vaporized, leaving nothing but the outline of a person on the street from where something had merely wiped them from existance. "Booster!" The call of the voice cleared the vision from her eyes, and she was back in the midst of the earlier chaotic scene. In front of her hovered a shining, golden object. It looked like an egg sitting on a golden pedestal, with a blue, unblinking, electronic eye staring back at her, "Ma'am, we've reached our destination, but it seems we've come at, uh, quite an inopportune time. Shall we assist with the situation?" She stood up, taking stock of how she felt. Outside of being disoriented, she felt fine. Whatever had happened to her hadn't affected her physically, just mentally. Taking stock of her surroundings, she looked past the fleeing people to see what they were running from. A pack of feral-looking people tore after the innocent ones, ready to tear them limb-from-limb. "Sure...uhh," she looked at the robot. "Skeets, ma'am," the robot sounded surprised. "Skeets? Seriously?" her nose scrunched up. "Whatever. How do we help?" "Do you not remember?" the blue eye fired a beam towards her, which scanned up and down. "Hm. It seems like our temporal travels have affected your memory. Tap the star on your necklace twice." Looking down, she saw a blue, metal star handing from a gold chain around her neck. She took two of her fingers and tapped it twice. The star seemed to grow and melt across her body nearly instantly, covering her in a gleaming metal skin of blue and gold. She felt the cool metal climb up her neck and form a visor across her eyes. A heads up display began displaying the vitals of the feral humans approaching, showing that they were being controled by some unknown force. "We need to cut those hostiles off from the innocent people," she motioned down the street. "Very well," Skeets bobbed up and down. "Shall I link up and refresh you on your suits capabilities?" "Sure thing," she shrugged. The egg swung around behind her, and she felt the metal on her back reconfigure as a port for the device. It hooked up, and instantly she shot up into the air a few feet and hovered there. "Holy shit I can fly!?" she exclaimed with pure joy. "You can do much more than that, Booster Gold," Skeets responded as the two of them shot off to intercept the pack of humans.[/indent][/indent] [COLOR=1E90FF][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]P O S T C A T A L O G:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT][i][/i][/indent][/indent][/hider]
