Asgardians

Asgardians is a TV series based on Norse Mythology and is centered around Modi, Thor's second biological son as he tries to make a name for himself and build a legacy for himself. 
== Characters ==
Modi: Modi is the central character of the show, he's a reckless hero who's desperate to prove himself as Asgards greatest warrior. Modi is initially presented as reckless and egotistical but he's revealed to have feelings of inadequacy and insecurity due to being in Magni's shadow. Modi is bitter towards his father for receiving very little to no praise for trying to be worthy of being Asgard's greatest warrior. Over time, Modi learns that he has more in common with Thor than he realised as Thor also had to prove himself at a young age due the responsibilities thrown at him. It was revealed that Thor was dismissive of him because Modi reminds him too much of himself when he had his innocence and freedom.
Magni: Magni is Modi's half-brother and favourite son of Thor. He's initially presented as arrogant and dismissive but he's revealed to be under a lot of stress due to the pressure of being Thor's son and future successor. Like Modi, Magni was unwittingly thrown under someone else's shadow and denied the ability to make his own legacy. He resents his title as Thor's successor because he believes it also denies him the ability to make his own legacy because he's destined to be Thor's successor no matter what he does. He loves his family but the responsibility of being Thor's successor has driven him to mind-breaking levels of stress since he can't realistically live up to Thor's reputation.
Thrud: Thrud is Modi's sister who aspires to be a part of something bigger. She's imaginative and thoughtful often playing the conscience for her brothers. She has a personal mission to join the Valkryies and gain as much knowledge as possible, like her grandfather Odin. She's close to her brothers and she takes pride in her abilities as an archer and enchantress.
Thor: Thor is the father of Magni, Modi, and Thrud. He's the famed hero of Asgard who protected Asgard from external threats. He's initially presented as a dismissive parent who's too focused on his work. He puts a lot of pressure on Magni so he can be worthy heir to Mjölnir and be worhy successor. When he's not focused on his work or molding Magni into his successor, he can be kind and wise. As the show progresses, it's revealed that he's trying to suppress his anger and he feels a tremendous amount of guilt for what he did to the Jotnar to protect Asgard. He's terrified of his children learning the truth of his legacy and him becoming that monster again.
