CONTACT/TEAM PREFERENCES

A comment separate from your app with your name, email, and team preferences. Making it a separate comment lets us keep it screened, thus keeping your team preferences private.

For the time zone field, feel free to make a note if working bizarre hours makes you effectively on a different time zone than stated.

"Team preferences" is a catch-all field for any thoughts you might have regarding your character's placement. For example, you might want a team that will put up with your character's sociopathy, or has a certain "feel" to it, or is friendly to your time zone, or maybe you don't think your character looks good in orange, and so on! This is also the spot to let us know if there are teams you DON'T want to be on. While you're not required to put anything here, don't say you have no preference unless you really, honestly have NOTHING to say on the subject! If you've already apped and realized you'd forgotten something? Make another comment!

Character Name: Thor Odinson
Canon: Marvel Cinematic Universe (Thor / The Avengers)
Reference Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor_%28movie%29 for the most Thor-related stuff

Character History: Once upon a time, the gods walked on earth, and all knew it. These ‘gods’, actually the people of Asgard, fought a fierce war to drive OTHER other-wordly beings, the Frost Giants of Jotunheim, out of the realm of Earth. Odin, king of Asgard, fought hard for this peace, and raised two sons with the idea of one of them ruling Asgard in his stead one day. Thor was one of those sons, and the one most ready to ascend the throne. On the day Thor was about to be declared king, some nasty business happened with Frost Giants and Thor went barrelling off to attack the hell out of them. Thor, arrogant and far too eager for the rage of battle, was summarily stripped of his power and status and hurled across space to crash land on Earth.

Stranded on a strange world, Thor was picked up by a roving band of scientists, including one Jane Foster, who decide to help him out a bit. During his time on Earth, Thor learned that only ever doing things his way, and ignoring all advice, was not the best way to do things. Constantly thwarted in his attempts to regain his power and godly hammer, and manipulated by his brother Loki, he eventually understood that some humility and maturity go a long way, and that war is not the answer to everything. He even made the ultimate sacrifice, taking a fatal hit to save his mortal friends - which luckily proved that he was worthy of his power, and it was returned to him. Coming face to face with Loki, who had engineered all this trouble, lead him to destroy the passageway between worlds to save them from Loki’s wrongdoings... sadly losing his brother in the process.

Until the sequel, anyway, where Thor joins a team of heroes to once again thwart the Earth’s destruction.

Personality: Thor grew up assured of the knowledge that one day he would be king of Asgard. As a result, he was kind of an arrogant tool, always eager to rush into a fight and smash the almighty hell out of his enemies. He was quick to anger, and hardheaded to the point of disaster, as he found when he reignited war between Asgard and Jotunheim. This is not to say that Thor has ill-intentions: it’s more that consequences were not a thing that occurred to him until very recently. He had a particular open, straightforward charm, and a group of loyal friends, but if there’s one thing you can’t accuse Thor of, it’s overthinking matters.

Having spent some time in exile without his powers, Thor now knows that there is more value in thinking actions through and not being so hasty to attack. He is now more aware of what damage his actions can cause, and is willing to lay his life on the line to defend others. After being brought to the depths of despair when he thought his father dead and his exile permanent, Thor can now appreciate peace, and doesn’t chase glory with the brashness he once did. Of course, he is still Thor, and still has a particularly forceful, overstated way of doing things. He is way more likely to do heavy-hitting than strategizing. He will always hold out hope that his brother Loki will come to his senses, and feels remorse over the other’s descent into the occasional unhinged villainy, as he truly wants nothing more than for Loki to come home and work things out.

Writing Sample:

01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
I would have you call me Thor, my rightful name.

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
I do not think it necessary. It is far more important to wear armor, and boots, and to have my weapon than to wear socks. They are not unappreciated, however.

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?
I do not recall exactly, as it must have been when I was asleep. These are some strange questions you ask.

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
No. ...but I know it can happen. And it is a sad thing, to learn that your family thinks poorly of you, and would take action to cause you and others harm. For my own part, I harbour no suspicions. They usually make it quite plain, now.

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
To hunt and bend a dragon to my will would be most glorious, if possibly a folly … though I have heard that the Midgardian shrew is fiercely difficult to tame.

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
It would give me pause. Moreso now, than before, when I did not notice such things nearly enough. But to be incapacitated would be shameful, when there are people to defend from the cause of their despair. I would drive back those that try to crush them.

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
A plate will serve.

08. Do you trust yourself?
Of course. And were I not trustworthy, there are many people who would tell me so, and then I would change.

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
What is the meaning of these questions? If you mean to say that I’m treacherous then I will have no part in it. I know my wrongs and I have been punished for them. I will say no more.

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
I would hope so.
