Medical Info: Thor is a member of an otherworldly superhuman race called Asgardians--in layman's terms, he's a god. Asgardians all posses certain superhuman physical attributes. They are virtual immortals who are extremely long lived, aging at an extraordinarily slow rate upon reaching adulthood.

The Asgardians are immune to all terrestrial diseases and toxins, and are resistant to conventional injury. They cannot die by conventional means. If an Asgardian is wounded, his godly life force will enable him to recover at a superhuman rate. It would take an injury of such magnitude that it incinerates an Asgardian or disperses a major portion of his bodily molecules to cause him to die. Even then, it may be possible for a god of greater or equal power, or several gods acting together, to revive the deceased god before the god's life essence is beyond resurrection.

Asgardian flesh and bone are about three times denser than similar human tissue, contributing to the gods' superhuman strength and weight. An average male god can lift about 30 tons; an average goddess can lift about 25 tons. The gods' metabolism gives them superhuman endurance in all physical activities. The gods' speed, agility, reflexes, and reaction time are superior to those of even the finest human athletes.

Physical Traits: Thor is comparatively young for an Asgardian, being the equivalent of a young adult still short of full maturity. Nonetheless, he is in excellent physical condition (and is totally pretty in a manly sort of way). He wears functional Viking-type armor consisting of a steel breastplate over chain mail, a red, hooded cape, and winged helmet.

What's OK to mention around him: Pretty much anything goes--he can handle a lot of weird. Note: I play Thor from the main Marvel Universe (616 Continuity) from a point in the timeline before he first appears on Earth as a superhero. That means his role as a founding Avenger, meeting Captain America and Iron Man, etc., has not happened for him yet, and he won't know what you're talking about if you bring it up to him.

Notes for psychics: Psychics in canon report that Thor's mind reflects a powerful and innate nobility--he's acknowledged as one of the most selfless and virtuous souls in the Marvel Universe. He also possesses just enough godly-derived ESP to detect astral projections and psychic intrusions. The ESP is just awareness, not defense--he has no psychic wards to speak of.

Additionally, if you're the sort who picks up on physical/spiritual/magical energy levels, Thor will definitely stand out to you on all three counts, and his hammer, Mjolnir, will also set off anyone who keys onto magic. Mjolnir can itself detect magic and enchantments, as well as projections of other power--so if you radiate an energy of some kind, it'll pick up on that.

Abilities: Thor possesses the conventional superhuman physical attributes of an Asgardian god. However, as the son of the lord of Asgard and the elder goddess of Earth, his strength, endurance, and resistance to injury are greater than those of the vast majority of his race. He can lift about 100 tons. He is a superbly skilled warrior and highly proficient in hand-to-hand combat, swordsmanship, and hammer throwing.

His principal weapon is the the enchanted Uru hammer known as Mjolnir, one of the most formidable weapons known to the Asgardians: No living being can lift Mjolnir unless he or she is worthy; it always returns to the exact spot from which it was thrown; and it enables its wielder to summon the elements of the storm and open interdimensional apertures. By throwing the hammer and grasping its leather thong, Thor can magically propel himself through the air in semblance of flight. Even without Mjolnir, Thor can summon the elements of the storm--manipulating weather conditions is his innate magical ability.

Hugging/kissing/other non-violent physical contact: Innocuous touching and hugging is fine, but Thor is very conservative when it comes to intimacy. He'll tolerate draping and the like, but won't be terribly pleased about it unless you're a close friend.

Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: Talk to me first. If you just want to start a fight with him, though, go right ahead... I'm sure your funeral service will be lovely.

Vampire-Related Shenanigans: Of course I essayed about this. What the hell else am I gonna do in my free time?

Maim/Murder/Death: Thor enjoys friendly sparring, and typically won't back down from a challenge, so fighting's fine.

Maiming or killing, well... Come on, then, if you think you're hard enough. Thor's basically Marvel's answer to Superman, and has gone toe-to-toe with heavyweights the likes of the Incredible Hulk, the Silver Surfer, and the Juggernaut, and emerged unharmed. He's a god, so you've gotta be at or above his own godly level to faze him. Unless you're Death or have Galactus in your back pocket, he's not worried, and neither am I.

Amusing bravado aside... Yes, Thor can be killed, and yes, I think there are some folks here who could do it--he's yet to reach his full strength, after all, and he's susceptible to magic to boot. Long story short--talk to me first and we can work something out.

Cooking: Thor's no gourmet, but he can cope easily enough cooking over a campfire, or even a barbecue. Modern kitchen stuff is quite beyond him, without instruction.
