<strong>Civilian Name:</strong>Blake Donaldson<br/><strong>Avenger Name:</strong>Thor<br/><strong>Apparent Age:</strong>28 (Actually several thousand years old)<br/><strong>Civilian Appearance:</strong><br/><br/>(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x158/Punstarr/Blake1.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Avenger Appearance:</strong><br/><br/>(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x158/Punstarr/Thor-Movie-Chris-Hemsworth-5.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Marvel Character:</strong>Thor<br/><br/><strong>History/Significant Events:</strong>Thor is at least 2,000 years old. He is the son of the Skyfather of the Asgardians, Odin, and an Elder Goddess, Gaea, though she is known to Odin and Thor as Jord. Because he is a union of Asgard and Earth, he has powers far beyond the natural abilities of other Asgardians.<br/><br/>When Thor was "eight", he was sent by his father to Nidavellir, the land of the dwarves, so that he could have a special weapon forged. This weapon was Mjolnir, which would one day become Thor's, but only after he had performed a number of good deeds. It was during the next ten years that Thor would strive to become worthy of the hammer, often foiling the plots of his foster-brother, Loki. Thor considers this one of the happiest periods of his life.<br/><br/>When Thor was "eighteen", Thor finally earned the right to wield Mjolnir, when the young goddess Sif was captured by Storm Giants. Thor grabbed Mjolni and rushed to the Storm Giants' fortress. There he learned that the Storm Giant King had given Sif to Hela, in return for immortality. Thor rushed to rescue Sif, and volunteered to give up his own life for Sif's. Hela was so impressed by his selflessness, that she chose to release Thor and Sif.<br/><br/>Thor quickly rose in rank in Odin's army, and came to lead thousands of warriors. His prowess in battle led him to become overconfident and arrogant.<br/><br/>During the age of Vikings, Thor was placed in mortal form by Odin, where he Thor was known as Siegmund, and later Siegfreid. The legends of these heroes from Norse mythology were in fact based on Thor's exploits.<br/><br/>Thor actively sought the worship of the Vikings, until he learned of the atrocities some of his more fanatical followers committed in his name. It was then that Thor allowed the worship of his race to die out.<br/><br/>In recent times, Odin learned that if Thor was not kept safe from harm for several years he would die. This would cause Ragnarok, the end of the world, to have a worse outcome than had been foretold, and no new race of gods would rise from the ashes.<br/><br/>Odin chose to place Thor in the mortal form of Blake Donaldson, so that he would be safe, and he would also learn some measure of humility. This strategem was successful, but has caused Thor to become very attached to Earth, in part due to his mother.  Thor no longer has a mortal form, per say, though he does use the identity of Blake Donaldson when he does not wish to be readily recognized as the god of thunder.<br/><br/>Over the past few years, Thor has done many things for Midgard and it's mortal inhabitants, serving as a protector in times of need.  Odin dislikes that Thor splits his attention between Asgard and Midgard, but allows his son to do what he must, for now.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Thor is a noble soul, a proud, fierce warrior on the one hand and a gentle spirit with the right people.  He struggles to understand the mortal world but seeks more than anything to protect.  However, when angered he can show his foes what the wrath of the gods truly means.<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong>Invulnerability: Thor is the son of a Skyfather and an Elder Goddess, and thus his body is more dense and far more resistant to injury than a mortal.  His body is also resistant to temperature extremes and virtually immune to radiation and disease.<br/><br/>Timelessness: Thor only physically ages one year for every 100 years. He will age, just very slowly.<br/><br/>Warrior God: As one of Asgard's greatest warriors, Thor's skill in melee combat is truly godly.<br/><br/>Godly Strength: Thor possesses Class 100 Strength, enabling him to lift over 100 tons.<br/><br/><strong>Equipment:</strong>Mjolnir: Forged of Uru metal and virtually indestructible, Thor's hammer has the following abilities...<br/><br/>*Mjolnir always returns to Thor's hand when he wills it to.<br/><br/>*Mjolnir allows Thor to fly at great speeds.  The hammer even allows him to function and breathe while in space.<br/><br/>*With Mjolnir, Thor can manipluate the weather, cause storms and strike foes with bolts of enchanted lightning.<br/><br/>*Energy Absorption: Mjolnir can absorb great amounts of energy that are directed at Thor.<br/><br/>*Mjlonir can also allow Thor to travel between worlds, such as from Midgard to Asgard and back.<br/><br/>*Only one who is worthy may lift Mjolnir.  Physical strength is moot if an unworthy being attempts to lift it.<br/><br/><strong>Fears and Weaknesses:</strong>He fears becoming weak and unable to help those that he feels need his protection.  He fears for his father, Odin, who is vulnerable once a year during the Odinsleep.<br/><br/><strong>Desires and Aversions:</strong>Thor desires to protect the weaker mortals of Midgard from those who would harm them, but also wishes to ensure that Asgard does not fall prey to the machinations of his brother, Loki.<br/><br/><strong>Controllable?</strong>Thor has an incredibly strong will and is very difficult to break, but if properly confused he can be manipulated via his mind.
