Description
Also called the Thunderer, Odinson, and God of Thunder, Thor is one of the Norse Gods of Asgard. Like all Norse gods he is immortal and quite powerful, unlike other deities, Thor is very pre-occupied with the affairs of Midgard (Earth) and the lives of mortals in general. Asgard is home to the Norse gods and is only reachable via the Rainbow bridge Bifrost Thor has two goats, Tangrisner and Tangjost (Tooth Gnasher and Tooth Grinder respectively) who pull his magical chariot. Asgard itself is adjacent to Midgard, Alfheim, and Valhalla, the hope of an afterlife for all those who follow the Norse faith. Thor is known for his incredible strength (surpassed only by his son Magni) which is due to his Magical belt Meginjord,which doubles his already considerable strength and allows him to lift his mighty hammer Mjolnir. The warhammer was created by dwarves who accidentally broke the handle, however, Thor liked the feel and asked them not to fix it. Thor requires a pair of gauntlets Jarngreipr in order to protect his hands from burns when the hammer returns to his hand which the gauntlets enable him to do. His staff Gridarvolr was a gift from Grior the Jotunn which when combined with his gauntlets saved his life. Thor has full control over storms and more specifically lightning and no lightning, natural or magical, can harm him. Thor is fond of drinking and may be encountered in a bar or tavern acting rather raucously. He is quite the chauvinist and womanizer, and is also quite short tempered. While he is known for his sense of honor and great strength he is also known to be a bit dim and quite gullible.
