overall personality , He stands there with piercing eyes that seem to see more than most. His intelligence well read across his clear face. He has a strength that seems to lie under the surface not just on top. His flashy smiles reads layers of charm and even maybe manipulation.

Strong confident strides with a deadly, gliding purpose. His intent seems to kill, but control registers in his body with a perfect sort of ease. He isn't much for flaunting, until provoked, but once provoked its a sad game of cat and mouse. He has more of an elegant anger and then he has a tornado of a temper. He only uses the first when he's being provoked by a true adversary. For the ones he deems easy to handle, or the ones he underestimates he usually loses his temper with.

He also has a sweet side, shown most clearly with children. His sweet delicate care is often thought of like a lion protecting his pride, with fierce devotion and preservation he'll shield children he doesn't even know. He also can't say no to most children, often he is a little lost for words and can even be aloof when children are around. He knows they are by far his greatest weakness and is afraid some might find out. Typically the same is held for those he loves, if not stronger.

history , At the tender age of 4 Thor was ripped from the protection of his parents, Gunnr and Astrid Gunthar. Born in Stavenger he is the true relative to royalty... well viking royalty. Somewhere down the lineage he has a great grandfather who was known as Thorkell the High, a jarl, who he was named for and the viking king Olaf, who his brother was going to be named if the tragic accident hadn't killed him at 5 months gestation.

At 3 years old his parents oil company needed Gunnr in America to work on a few rigs and help with the main company. For most of the next few years he lived in New York with his mother mostly and occasionally his father when he wasn't off at the fields or in the office. Then his father finally took a Christmas off and when they were driving back from the tree lot a bunch of kids on a joy ride going too fast, hit the brakes too hard and swerved right into their lane on the snowy road.

Lights, beeping, the steady breathing from the tubes in his nose. Raw flesh exposed, his hips burned and his thighs felt like they were on fire. Someone was talking urgently and he heard the beeps quicken and quicken and then suddenly it blurred together until it seemed to... stop.

He woke up in a hospital room five days before Christmas eve. People were sad and somber, most had circles surrounding their sockets and everyone looked out of the holiday cheer. They saw him wake up and they smiled, but it was... fake it was sad and lifeless and not reassuring. Something was desperately wrong!

Gunnr and Astrid were gone. They took the head on collision and died almost instantly. Astrid hit the dash and then the airbag went off late and snapped her neck, and Gunnr had turned to Astrid just enough to send a piece of glass just into his temple to cut off his function ability, he was said to 'live' for a few minutes, but his spirit would have been gone, at least he knows that now.

It wasn't hard getting a new life. For a surprise for his wife who had just found out she was barren, a young man adopted Thor the day before Christmas eve for his wife. Thor turned out to be a silent child. He was disobedient and quiet and just an overall brat at first. But once he got to know his second mother he found he really loved her. her husband was ok, he really loved her and the two might not have gotten along but they at least had one thing in common, their love for Mary. Micheal and Mary, the perfect couple with the big heart to adopt such a 'poor' child-even though he was richer than all of them with his mother and father's insurance and a trust fund to buy three of their big companies and still be able to stay afloat, but of course money doesn't matter now.... Mary was a fashion designer and Michael the accomplished son of a CEO of a multinational corporation who followed in his father's footsteps.

Mary's free and easy ways helped mold Thor into who he was. School was quiet like normal, sure he had fights but mostly he was an average student with high grades in math and low grades in English. Micheal wanted him to become a lawyer, and that made Thor want to become a farmer. Thor didn't really want to be a farmer but if it pissed Micheal off it was good enough! Mary took him traveling and he even 'modeled' for a while, well only for Mary and it was when he was a cute slightly pudgy little kid.

Mary taught him about his parents and his culture and then about nature, the good an bad. She even got him shooting lessons and let him go hunting with a few of her close friends. She took him to japan and china to learn fighting and basically gave him a lot of tools that he can use now. When he was 21 and just starting to enroll for the marines Mary came down with meningiomas, a common brain cancer typically linked to smoking. She didn't smoke but a lot of her friends did and it was assumed she got it threw second hand. That or she could have had it for ever and only now it was popping up, either way when they found it it had already spread and it was too late.

After Mary passed he went into the marines and fought so hard, trying his best to kill himself at times. He earned a medal of valor, a purple heart, a marine reserve, and finally a medal of honor. Mostly when he was trying to get himself killed. He was honorably discharged when he disobeyed a direct order and stormed the enemies 'castle' and steal back some POWs(Prisoners of War) and take down a minor database. He received his metals and took his leave. That was when he became a drunk Viking.

He drank himself into woe and for a while lived in his old crappy ford, even though he had billions of dollars. By the time he snapped out of his stupor he was the laughing stock of the society in which Micheal flourished. Micheal disowned him, which was fine with Thor, and denied ever having a son. Thor got a job at the zoo, finding solace in the animals. Thor was particularly good with the lions and wolves. He was soon a main contributor to the zoo and had paid for basically half the zoo with small anonymous amounts of money. He was soon asked to help raise two wolf pups. One was born in the wolf pack there at the zoo, the one named Ulf, which is viking for Wolf. And the other Ran which is also Viking for wolf shield or wolf protector. Ran was an unrelated female who was going to be Ulf's future mate, until Ulf didn't approve and then the whole pack threatened her life. So the two were separated from the pack and were in Thor's care until the whole bomb incident. Once that happened... well... they became his best friends... his only friends, the only ones he could truly trust anymore.

ability description , The reason he gained his Abilities is because at the time he was working at the zoo when it hit, and he'd just been in to, yes, 'feed' the lions. He was a big hit with the old alpha lion, who they'd had to take out because the others were starting to beat him up, and he was taking him on a 'walk'. He gave him his milk cartons and walked him around a small trail enclosed for the zoo's animals that were either in tight quarters or quarantine. The lion had gone at one of the fences in a crazed way when they passed the wolves, and Thor had been thinking he was going to get hurt when the bombs were dropped, the male lion, who'd raised up on two legs to press the fence basically got the whole blast, but the wolf at the base of the fence, his DNA traveled below the lion's legs and the lion's DNA blasted straight into his skin, and then he'd blacked out, or maybe his eyes were sealed tight from the burning blast from the nuke. The next thing he knew he woke up and the lion's heavy body was basically melted onto him. He, in shock, scrambled out from under the lion's body and backed away, shaking, or maybe the ground was shaking, and he ran. He could see almost no one but hear everyone. Then, in his panicked state he realized he wasn't... well human anymore. People were screaming, in his mind, out loud, inside buildings. Not sure himself he kept running, confused and perhaps scared for the first time in his life. His hands were paws his mustache was now real whiskers. And of course being able to turn into an animal means you can talk to animals... well not exactly 'talk' because animals don't use the same sort of dialog, but he can very well understand the intentions of an animal now. He isn't sure how or why he shifts, sometimes it happens with deep focus and sometimes it will go berserk and just start tagging every DNA around and start flipping threw DNA. The odd thing is, once he 'tags' a DNA, which it has to be a male animal, he can't change his look or anything, he also hasn't learned how to force a shift either, it will happen when he's thinking about it, but not concentrating on doing it. Like when he's hunting he typically turns into a leopard, because he's thinking slow and he's concentrating and he's just thinking like that animal, but when he tries to shift it's like his body glitches and he's trying to force it too much, it also strains a lot of energy, well considering he's changing his whole body shape it's got to use a lot of energy.

The Mind think is just as freak. Mostly his brain will pick up on keywords from other brain waves, it's almost like a search engine on the computer. If he's in a conversation and he's talking about dogs, his mind will instantly tune into anyone thinking of 'dogs'. The bad part is it isn't just one selected brain wave it's everyone's thoughts in the conversation or even people listening in or people mentioning dog in their minds that he gets. He mostly gets a mile radius of thoughts, after that it's a lot of strain, UNLESS its someone he knows very very well. Even then it's extremely hard, but it works, but barely. If he thinks of a person's voice who he knows he can pick up on thoughts and even dreams sometimes. Its just like having bad cell reception though, you get bits and pieces. Also, this works as a tracking device, which is nice. If his enemy kidnaps a dear friend of his he can basically sense which direction the thoughts are coming from. This doesn't mean he knows exactly where he is, and even if he did he has to think of the person and the voice and in which direction it could be coming from. Its a lot of concentration, which is hard, especially in battle or when others are talking or if his mind is wigging out and picking up other thoughts. Its not the best ability, actually it's more like a disability because it can be very distracting, especially when he's hunting.
