The God of Thunder. If one is to believe the stories of the Norse, one of the ruling gods of their pantheon. Not too bad of press, really!
Biography
Born in the time of legends and lore on Midgard, a couple of thousand years ago to Odin, with Frigga standing in as the only mother he's ever known, Thor was raised knowing he was special. Royalty. That one day the Throne of Asgard would be his, and he'd be one more in the seemingly endless line of his family. A warrior king that would rule over not only Asgard but keep the peace in the Nine Realms in any way possible. To this end, he's suffered, along with his brother Loki, numerous tutors, lessons in armed and unarmed combat, leadership and tactics. (That last bit, he wasn't really quite as good as his brother.)
As he matured, it became obvious to most, if not Thor himself, that he was, indeed, to become king. Many a time in Midgard's early years Odin took the young Thor with him to the world, and stories grew of the young Prince's exploits. Visits to Earth were frequent, training increased, meetings and such were set up so succession would be obvious to all and understood, and the childhood friends that grew with him would stand with him.
All was not always 'right', however. Thor proved, at times, to be something of a hot head, occasionally giving Odin some concern if not a little pause in determining when the coronation would actually occur. Unasked for skirmishes turned into battles turned into full-fledged diplomatic problems for Odin and Asgard as a whole, and finally, Midgard would once again be that place where the Prince would have to learn what it is to be a Prince and King.

Character Details
Thor seems simple; the thought of striking a blow is usually the first thought rather than considering all angles. The saying 'When all you have is a hammer, all problems look like nails'. That's Thor. He's quick to laugh in his times of leisure, and long in patience with those he cares about, in some cases ignoring or making excuses for slights. Once his patience is drained, however, that is when his anger takes over, and there are few who can bring Thor back to his wits once they are lost. He is stubborn, and once he has decided upon a course, there are, again, few who can reasonably try and sway him. (They won't necessarily be successful!)
| Asgardian Physiology |
Thor is virtually immortal. While some long-lived worlds may remember a time before him, Earth really cannot. This is largely due to his inability to catch disease, and remarkable ability to heal wounds but the most grievous. (Those, he needs help with!)
Strength: He can easily lift cars and busses. While not on par with Superman's strength, he can easily help spot the hero with his own ability.
Stamina: Thor can easily join a battle and not be wearied for days. Walking, running… it's easily within his grasp.
Dexterity: Thor is large. He can move as a warrior, but he's not quite so limber as those smaller than he. He's more of a brick. He can be outmaneuvered, but his ability to take a hit largely makes up for it.
Constitution: Like a bull. In battle, he can take hits, more and more, and simply smile before a counter-attack begins. Usually.

| Combat |
| Thor is a warrior, almost first and foremost. To do battle against a foe is his rally, and any will do. He is skilled in sword and is easily one of the best swordsmen of Asgard, but there are those who are yet still better than he. His skill is with his hammer, using it to best effect whether by close combat or by utilizing its various abilities. Without the hammer, he can hold his own but his 'bag of tricks' is severely curtailed. |
| God Speak |
As one of the Aesir, Thor has the ability to understand all languages and speak as if he was talking in each's native tongue. He doesn't ACTUALLY speak the language, mind. It simply registers in the mind of others as understood. |
| Weather Affinity |
| Thor's moods affect the weather on Midgard, at least in terms of the harsher patterns. Brooding brings clouds, thunder and/or lightning. When he's in a good mood, mind, the sun isn't always out and bunnies aren't necessarily hopping around happily. He cannot -physically- cause weather to shift like, say, Storm. |
| Prince Of Asgard |
| As the Crown Prince of Asgard, Thor has certain perks. He has, normally, the whole of Asgardian technology, resources and/or people therein to aid him, most notably his Warriors Three who have been tasked to stand by the Prince. |
| God Of Legend |
| Thor is the god of Norse legend (minus the retelling by drunken Norse). He is the 'Thunder God', elder brother of the 'Trickster God', Loki. With the good press of history, things just might be a little easier for him. |
| Mjolnir |
-The- enchanted hammer of Asgard. He who wields it is worthy of sitting on the Throne of Asgard. Currently, it's in Thor's possession. This hammer has its own little quirks:
Worthiness: The slightly sentient-seeming relic won't allow just anyone to wield her. She must deem them 'worthy' in some measure to do so. Thor has learned that even he isn't a sure bet all the time, now.
Link: The Hammer of Legend is attuned to Thor and his thoughts. He can call to it regardless of where he is and where she is, and the relic will attempt to come to him.
Weather Control: With the Hammer upon his person, Thor is able to call up and (mostly) control the most chaotic of weather conditions, including but not limited to thunderstorms, hurricanes and the like. Note: When he doesn't have Mjolnir, Thor does affect the weather, but just can't control it.
Flight: The hammer must be in hand for Thor to be able to fly. When it is and he does, he does fly rather quickly so as to look almost like teleportation. But it's not. He is still constrained by physics. In rare instances, he can hover in flight, but it's not done often. He does prefer being on the ground, warrior that he is.
Energy sensing and manipulation: When wielded, Mjolnir can sense and find usable energy from which Thor can pull and channel it into a blast in terms of offensive. Defensive, he can create something of a shield, but it's limited in size and scope to about the size of a Midgardian city block. It does know the difference between 'good' energy and that created and employed by 'bad'.

| Loki |
| Thor's number one disadvantage. His brother. The pair have their ups and downs, like any siblings, but theirs is moreso. With his brother getting into difficulties, Thor tries and finds a way to extract him from it and help set him on the right path. While they may have their difficulties, they are still family. |
| Rage |
| Thor has a temper. A bad temper. When it's aroused, bad things can happen and by his own hand. If angered in battle, there is the potential of his becoming something of a beserker, something the Norse might have omitted from their Eddas… |
| Illiterate |
| While Thor seems to be able to speak any language, he can neither read nor write in any but his own. |
| Lost In The 21st Century |
| Having been away from Midgard for some time, things change and rapidly. Walking down Times Square, or through the streets of Metropolis will fill him with something of pride and confusion. Cell phones and the internet? Amazing! |
