Thor

When most people think of the Pagan Gods, they think of the dark and judgemental deities like Ra or Kali. Thor, on the other hand, turns the image of the 'evil' Pagan God on its head, for Thor and all his followers are strident champions of the Light. Thor himself battles the Jotnar and other monstrous agents of the Darkness on a daily basis. 
AKA: The Thunderer. 
== Facts: ==
-Thor is the mighty son of Odin, the hammer-wielding defender of all Asgard and the sworn enemy of Jormungand and the Jotnar. He is a barbarian god of strength, adventure, celebration, thunder and war. 
-Thor appears as a giant Nordic man with shoulder-length blonde hair and beard. His clothing befits a warrior and is clearly Nordic in design but is not flashy and allows for ease of movement. 
-Thor is not an overly complicated deity. He accepts anyone as a follower who champions the Nordic ways and stands fast in fighting the Darkness. Those who succeed in defeating powerful monsters and protecting their people can expect to catch Thor's attention. 
-Mjolnir, Thor's famous hammer, is a powerful weapon that can control the weather (particularly thunder), allows Thor to fly at blinding speeds, and can crash through almost any barrier. 
-Thor is hugely popular within the Nordic Pantheon's following. Thor is just as acclaimed as is Odin Himself, in some cases even more so. Thor was often invoked en masse by the native peoples of Northern Europe whenever some great calamity was looming, such as plague, war or invasion. Even after these countries adopted Roman Catholicism as their state religion, Thor was still venerated by the local peasants in secret. 
-Thor was said to ride across the sky in a stormy chariot driven by two jet-black goats. 
-The fifth day of the week, Thursday, comes from 'Thors-day.' 
-Thor took the goddess Sif as his wife. 
== Odinson: ==
Since Odin is an Avatar Of God, Thor is himself a direct creation of God. This means that Thor is quite strong, hardy and built to last. It helps to explain why he is so tough and strong, but it also means that Thor is a player on a much bigger chess board. 
Thor is a traveling god who often wanders far beyond the territories held by the Nordic Pantheon. He is an adventurer par excellence, just as the Vikings themselves were. 
Also, because he is the acclaimed son of Odin, Thor will show favor to Theists he meets. This is especially true for those Theists who follow God as Spiritual Liege, The Good, Lord Of War or, obviously, as Odin.
