He plays the stoic as well as any, and plays it in earnest. He did, however, have a much more personable and outgoing side (especially in his youth), which now emerges when he is around those he trusts and respects most. His rarely-seen easy-going side also has a bit of a wild streak, and he's been known to raise a bit of hell from time to time and city to city.

He desires to live up to the legend of his father, and wants to prove himself worthy of his legacy, but at the same time he desires to forge his own path and not simply follow exactly in his father's footsteps.

Thor has a great deal of power, inherited from his father, but he is only just learning to use it to its full potential. He had a habit of second-guessing himself that he has only recently taken steps towards overcoming.

Upon going into battle, he becomes like a machine, unceasing, unflinching, and unrelenting. He is no longer either stoic or contemplative, but determined and focused. He becomes something else entirely, and it is in this "something else" that his separation from mortals becomes most evident. Thor becomes vicious, ferociously efficient and brutal.

Thor is now a powerful and confident warrior. He has honor befitting a being of his stature, and demands the same respect that he gives to others.

Thor is the Odinson, the son of Odin, the Paladin Imperialdramon that first brought the Royal Knights together nearly 1000 years ago. Among the Royal Knights and the High Council, Odin was held in the highest esteem. His sword was the weapon of legend, the blade that slew the great darkness and ended the nightmares of times past. Thor grew up in the shadow of his father's ever-present legend. He was the eldest of Odin's sons and daughters, the Odinson, heir to Asgard's throne and power.

Odin took steps to ensure his son's preparedness for the role. Thor was trained by the greatest warriors in Asgard as soon as he was old enough to fight. He attempted to educate Thor as to the ways of leadership and rule. But of all his siblings, Thor had the least mind and patience for politics. He was young. He was fierce. He wanted challenges - battles - and opportunities to remove himself and grow beyond his father's shadow. He had no tolerance for things being handed to him, regardless of how easy it might be. He ventured out into the continent of Asgardia, adventuring with his brothers.

It was this bold and reckless character that led him to Vanaheim, home of the Vanir Eternals; the ancient enemies of Asgard. There was only a tenuous truce holding peace together between the two kingdoms, one that the Vanir resented, believing it favored Asgard too heavily. But Thor, caring little for political maneuvering, made his presence felt; he began a month-long revel in the hall of the Vanir king, Njord. This attracted the attention of Njord's daughter Freya and - in a fit of youthful rebellion - she and Thor engaged in a brief but passionate romance.

However brief their affair was, they separated with no ill will towards one another, allowing Odin to salvage the situation with Njord and Vanaheim. The eldest daughter of the Vanir and the eldest son of the Aesir joining together (albeit briefly) could only be a fortuitous sign, he reasoned, and could only serve to bring their two peoples closer together. Behind closed doors, however, Thor was given a stern warning that such behavior would no longer be tolerated.

Thor abided by Odin's decree for some time, continuing to hone his strength and fighting prowess, but the thrill of adventure and revels called to him; he still longed to become his own legend. And so he did as he was asked; he served as his father's emissary; he defended the realm; he fought against Asgard's enemies and the enemies of peace; he struck down all those who would harm the innocent and the weak. In his duties he met with nobles and commoners from all the kingdoms of Asgardia, some grotesque, some beautiful...and those he remembered more than others.

At this point, word of his exploits was beginning to spread, and Thor was infinitely pleased. He believed fully in the greatness of Asgard, of his father, and of himself. In a negotiation with the northern kingdom of Jotunheim, Thor's temper got the better of him and he lashed out, killing the offending party and nearly engulfing Asgardia in a continent-wide war.

To allay the fears of the other kingdoms, Odin was left with no choice but to humble his egotistical son. He banished Thor from Asgard, sending him on trials throughout the world to teach him how to serve rather than be served. Thor spent more than thirty years on this journey, traveling the world over to earn his name. He spent time serving the High Council as an enforcer of the peace until he became weary of their "petty squabbles." He spent time in other godly kingdoms, hoping to quell his legendary temper.

Ironically, found true pleasure among mortals. He found them intriguing; their lives ever so brief but full all the same. He took mortals as friends; as companions; as lovers. He ventured with them out into a world they found so utterly terrifying and showed them its beauty; and in their wonder he gained new appreciation for everything he had been given and scorned. During this time, he found himself in Vanaheim once again; though not as a reveler but as a student. The Vanir were deeply in tune with the earth and themselves. They fostered a unique sort of spiritual strength that was foreign to Asgardian concepts of overwhelming power and fury. He found Freya once again and they eventually picked up where they left off, just one hundred years more mature.

In time, he found himself not caring whether or not his exile ended at all. But it did end, and Thor was one day called back to Asgard to defend it from the enemy. So return he did, with all the power of a god and the passion of a mortal. And the enemy was powerless in the face of Asgard's favorite son returned. Thor returned to his role with renewed vigor; his time away had given him clarity and a sense of the larger picture. He sought to learn not just from his father but from those around his father; those who knew Allfather Odin best.

Then came the darkest day in 1000 years. A terrible fury rose up from the very earth, a dark force of unimaginable horror, bringing with it scores of other like-minded fiends to devour Saga itself. In the end, only Odin stood between the nightmare and Saga, and Odin - who for centuries had been as ever-present as the sun itself - sacrificed his life to make sure the darkness had no foothold on Saga.

When Odin fell, all eyes turned to Thor, especially those of the remaining darkness. It swarmed the distraught son of Asgard in masse, hoping to salvage its war and survive. But though Odin was no more, his power remained, and he passed it to Thor upon his death. When Thor reached for the mythic White Sword, able to be lifted only by those deemed "worthy", he immediately ascended to the Paladin Mode. The true power of the blade, however, was beyond Thor's reach and understanding. The sheer scope of it overwhelmed him and though he obliterated the darkness, he was forced to relinquish the form.

Since the death of his father, Thor has shied away from public eye. He has refused the throne and chosen solitude instead, forsaking all responsibilities and relationships in an attempt to finally prove himself worthy of his father's power. It hasn't been easy, but with an immortal lifespan ahead of him and the world at peace, Thor was confident in his ability to do so.

Then Galahad came to him, hoping to recruit him to his crusade. Though marred with uncertainty in his day-to-day life, Thor knew one thing: his father would not have stood to see the Royal Knights fall down such a twisted path. So he refused, and when the Council called him he answered.
