## Personality

"*WE don't change. We... are destroyers.*"

—Thor, to Kratos.
Thor was widely feared throughout the Nine Realms for his cruelty, violent temper, brutality, and sadism. He was utterly ruthless, showing no mercy to his enemies, and his bloodlust was noted by Mimir to be the only thing greater than Odin's own paranoia, and many consider him the worst of the Aesir gods. Despite being half-giant himself, Thor took a sadistic pleasure in torturing and killing any giant he could find, as he believes them to be nothing but a “blight” to the realms.

This shows that Thor has strong prejudice against his own half-kind, even though his mother Fjörgyn is a giantess. Despite being seen as a monster throughout the Nine Realms, Thor was, however, in truth, a tragic individual, as he was raised by Odin just to be his greatest combat asset and was emotionally abused and warped into becoming unquestionably loyal and disciplined. Thor knew fully well what he has done is far from being right and suffered from guilt for what he has done, yet he saw no chance to change his ways and become better.

He was finally able to achieve this, albeit briefly, during Ragnarök, after Kratos spared him, telling him that they must be better for their children. His hesitation would eventually cost him his life when he finally stood up towards his father, Odin killed him for disobeying him. His infamous reputation was somewhat similar to Alclides - who was considered the most feared among the Olympian Gods and Kratos - who was feared throughout Greece and possesed a sense of honor, as he dislikes cowardice.

When Modi fled after Magni, his favorite son, died; Thor was greatly enraged, and subsequently beat his surviving son for fleeing from Kratos and deemed Modi a coward. He also somewhat cares for his worshipers, as when one of his faithful followers died, he made time to visit the family, although even then he still could be enraged easily, especially while drunk, and ended up taking advantage of his higher status.

His overall intelligence could be called into question, as many a time has Thor been made a fool of himself or had made stupid, reckless mistakes (quite comparable to his sons, in fact). Kratos called Thor as a fool when hearing not even Mjölnir in hand will break the ice to reach Thamur's magical chisel. Mimir called Thor for the destruction upon the Jötnar as a *sweaty bawbag*, *fat dobber*, *thunder lummox* and *the biggest butchering bastard in the Nine Realms*.

Brok considered Thor the big idiot, and Atreus also called him an idiot when hearing about how he got crushed by Hrungnir's body. Most of all, Thor had his legendary hammer stolen by the giant Thrym, when he was carelessly sleeping. However, Thor is clever enough to know his limit and not try to challenge Starkaðr alone, knowing very well that he might die if done so. It seems this is due to Odin instilling his son the idea that he was born and lived to fight, not to think.

In addition, Thor was extremely arrogant, typical for an Aesir, as he would go to great lengths to cement his reputation amongst the Nine Realms and be respected, as well as feared. An example being the destruction of the village when Thor battled Thamur, Thor claimed credit for the giant's death and the village's destruction, despite the fact that Thor was merely lucky in both actions.

To aid his reputation as one of the most hated and feared Gods of the Nine Realms, Thor's overall demeanour seems to revolve around him being cruel and sadistic simply for the sake of it. An example of this could be seen when Thor needlessly murdered Hrungnir even though the Stone giant was merely amusing the Aesir and was a threat to no one.

Thor's only outward expressions seem to be of rage and smug arrogance due to his abilities. An example of this is seen when Thor was the only God not amused by Hrungnir's foolish performance in Asgard, preferring to outright murder the Jotunn, seeing as how the simpleton had nothing to offer him other than his death. Thor's cruel nature can come out even when he is trying to be friendly towards others or when he gets drunk. After a wayward spirit's father had passed away, his mother built a statue of Thor to watch over his grave.

Appearing to the family, Thor offered his condolences for their loss. Although they were overjoyed at first with the God's presence, he took advantage of their hospitality and quickly became drunk. Distraught, the mother asked him to leave to which Thor responded by brutally murdering her in a drunken rage before leaving the son behind, who continued to curse the God of Thunder, even after his death.

Thor had a bad habit of drinking as well as being addicted to alcohol, as he would often go to a pub/bar or anywhere and drink as much mead as he wants. which would earn the disapproval of Odin, including the Thunder God's own daughter. Thor also enjoyed getting involved in or watching a fight, as when he unknowingly started a pub brawl with several Einherjar, which caused them to think that Atreus was responsible, this resulted in total chaos in the Black Thunder pub in which Thor also joins in, as well as watching the fight go on while he drinks.

Despite his dark side, Thor has proven too deeply care and trust his family and was, like his wife Sif, strongly protective of his daughter Thrúd, ever since Magni and Modi were killed at the hands of Kratos and Atreus. Despite all that Odin put him through, Thor was blindly loyal to Odin for most of his life and desperately sought to earn his father's approval.

He was close with Baldr, comforting him in his depression over being unable to feel and trusting him with his life, despite the latter's insanity and disgust towards the former's bloodlust. Magni points out that he and Modi have to trust Baldur because their father believes in him, despite Modi proclaiming that their uncle had not been sane for a while. Thor was also known for being furious at Magni's death, tragically lashing out and beating Modi almost to death.

When Kratos reminded Thor of his beating of Modi, this angered the God of Thunder, as he only took this as an insult. This shows that Thor had strongly refused to accept the fact that it is his own fault for having mistreated Modi into becoming fearful of his own father's wrath, which ultimately led him to his death. However, despite Thor's abusiveness towards his son for his cowardice, he was shown to still care about Modi as he was enraged at Atreus for his death and even attempted to avenge both him and Magni.

His parenting of Thrud had changed dramatically from that of his sons to a gentler, more encouraging one. Despite his loyalty towards his father, Thor would secretly go against Odin's orders just to try and get his revenge on Kratos and Atreus for his sons' deaths hinting that deep down he had begun to question his father's way of valuing strength above all.

Despite his hatred of the former, Thor was revealed to be aware and in awe over the Spartan's reputation of being both a God-Slayer and a Destroyer of Worlds and would even go as far as to try to force Kratos into unleashing his former self.

## Abilities and Powers

Being both half-giant and Odin's firstborn son, Thor is the strongest god in the Norse Pantheon. His power is great enough for having slaughtered almost all the Giants living outside of Jötunheim, whilst being recognized and feared by most alongside his brutality. Mimir himself stated that he does not know whether Kratos can kill Thor, with the God of Thunder later proving to be a close match for the Ghost of Sparta in both of their fights.

### Powers

* **Jötnar/Æsir Physiology**: As the son of Zeus, he has immense power.
	+ **Immeasurable Strength**: As the God of Strength and half-giant, Thor is the strongest of the Norse Gods, surpassing that of Týr, Heimdall, Baldr, Magni, Modi, and even Odin himself in terms of brute force and physical strength. His strength is so great that he was able to single-handedly slaughter the Jötnar to near extinction. Jörmungandr is one of the few Jötnar strong enough to contend with Thor's strength; His first battle against the World Serpent was felt across all the Nine Realms, and Thor later battled young Jörmungandr, with their fight violently shaking Yggdrasil and his final strike splintering the World Tree, causing the World Serpent to be sent backward through time before his own birth, a feat which even Kratos deemed as madness. Only Starkaðr, the strongest of the Giants, proved to be too much for Thor to defeat or even fight alone, requiring the aid from the combined armies of Asgard, Vanaheim and Midgard to shower him with arrows in order to subdue him. Thor's immense strength proved comparable even to that of Kratos. At no point in their first fight was Kratos able to overpower Thor despite him holding back at that time, with Thor evenly holding back Kratos' shield from striking him when they were both using two hands at once before quickly pushing him back when he tried to summon his axe and evenly locking Mjölnir with the Leviathan Axe as they fought over the air. He could casually lift and throw Kratos over his head with a single hand, even choke and lift him off his feet with a single hand, with Kratos showing visible struggle in breaking free from his grip. Thor's strength allows him to create shockwaves simply by clapping his hands or punching the ground, and he could easily send enemies, even Kratos himself, flying several feet away with simple punches and kicks. He is also able to easily jump high into the air while simultaneously carrying Atreus. With Mjölnir, Thor was able to hit Kratos with sufficient force to send him flying high into the air and great distance away, shatter the Guardian Shield with only a few blows and almost kill the Ghost of Sparta with a single strike to the head, though Thor wanted to see Kratos fight as his best, so Thor resuscitated him almost immediately after. After their battle, Kratos noted in the Codex that the full force of Thor's strength was as heavy as any blow he had ever felt, combined with Mjölnir, Kratos was glad the battle didn't reach a conclusion.
	+ **Superhuman Durability/Nigh-Invulnerability**: As the strongest of the Aesir Gods, Thor possesses tremendous superhuman durability, which must have helped him in his massacre of the Jötnar, as he would have to be able to easily withstand their attacks with little to no damage. During his fights with Kratos, Thor was able to easily shrug off powerful blows from the Ghost of Sparta with only little blood and no significant injuries, showing incredible resistance to blunt trauma. After being slashed by the Leviathan Axe on the abdomen, Thor got stabbed in the same spot by both the Blades of Chaos and Draupnir Spear later, but he was shown to be more angered rather than harmed. However, he still can be incapacitated, such as when the colossal body of Hrungnir fell on him, he was unable to remove the corpse himself until his sons removed it for him. After his final fight with Kratos, Odin was also able to impale and kill him, albeit Thor was exhausted, wounded, and hesitant to continue his fight with the God of War.
	+ **Superhuman Speed and Reflexes**: Despite his massive size and overweight body, Thor has proven to be able to move at extremely fast speeds, with stupendous reflexes, being able to evenly match Kratos in direct combat and repeatedly catch Kratos off-guard to physically manhandle him as well as easily avoid Kratos' attacks.
	+ **Superhuman Agility**: Thor has extraordinary agility, capable of easily jumping great heights and distance and landing without any problems. Despite his massive figure, Thor's agility can allow him to appear and disappear so unreasonably fast he even startled Odin when he came to his father's call.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina**: As the strongest of the Norse Gods, Thor possesses a tremendous amount of superhuman stamina. He fought continuously throughout Ragnarök, fend off large numbers of the Nine Realm’s reinforcements, battling young Jörmungandr, then went on to fight Kratos immediately after sending Jörmungandr back to the past.
	+ **Tempestakinesis**: As the God of Thunder, Thor has the ability to summon harsh lightning storms at whim. He displayed this power when he caused a giant storm at Kratos' home, immediately waking both Kratos and Atreus up.
	+ **Electrokinesis**: Thor has absolute control over electricity and lightning, with it being an innate power inherited by his sons, although Thor's electrokinetic powers has been shown to far surpass theirs. During his attack on Kratos and Atreus, Thor was capable of causing bolts of lightning to constantly rain down on their house by simply willing it. He was able to imbue Mjölnir with lightning to throw it and cast waves of electricity. He can also rain down bolts of lightning that left behind fields of lightning for some time just by striking the ground with his hammer. While fighting the World Serpent and Surtr, Thor manipulated powerful lightning strikes and disoriented Jörmungandr before delivering the blow that sent him through time.
		- **Electric Armor**: Thor has the ability to infuse electricity into his own body. When he does this, his body appears to be cloaked by lightning and his eyes glow blue, with his strength, durability and speed increasing, make it almost look like he can teleport.
	+ **Immortality**: As with all Gods, Thor is immortal and cannot die, only opponents that wield similar strength and power to himself would be capable of harming and even killing him.
	+ **Flight**: Thor can also levitate and fly through the air at extreme speeds using his lightning powers.

### Abilities

* **Master Combatant:** Thor is regarded as the mightiest warrior in Asgard. As such, he is an extremely skilled fighter with hundreds of years worth of training and experience. He single-handedly killed countless Giants on Midgard and many other powerful beings. Thor's martial prowess is so great, that Mimir was uncertain that Kratos can even defeat him in battle. His fighting style skillfully combines hand-to-hand combat with his usage of Mjölnir. Thor's fighting prowess proved to be a near-indomitable opponent for Kratos, being the only person that was able to fight Kratos to a stalemate in their first fight and only narrowly losing to him in their second fight. Thus, Thor has proven himself to be only person who ever managed to defeat the Ghost of Sparta in a fair fight and pressure him more that any other opponent he faced.
	+ **Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant:** Despite having one of the most powerful weapons in the Nine Realms, Thor is also an exceptionally proficient martial artist, masterfully mixing his unarmed combat with his skill in using Mjölnir, performing powerful, swift and precise punches and kicks as well as being proficient in wrestling and grappling, capable of even supplexing and throwing Kratos around. In the first round of their fight, Thor's unarmed fighting skills alone proved enough to put Kratos with his shield on the ropes and even fought him using his axe for some time before eventually having to use his hammer.
	+ **Hammer Mastery:** Thor is incredibly skilled in using his hammer Mjölnir, having used the weapon in battle for centuries and caused mass genocides on the Giants with devastating ease. During his fights with Kratos, Thor was able to evenly match his usage of the Leviathan Axe with his hammer and deliver repeated blows on him, even managing to destroy the Guardian Shield. Furthermore, Thor can pull himself toward Mjölnir with lightning speed, he often used it to pass through terrain or quickly close the gap between him and his opponent.

### Weapons

* **Mjölnir**: Forged by Brok and Sindri, this special one-handed hammer is Thor's weapon of choice when killing giants and other foes. When thrown, Mjölnir always hits its target and returns to Thor's hand. It is also described as a "super-weapon" by Mimir and as such is one of the most powerful weapons in all of the Nine Realms. The only weapons capable of opposing its immense power are Gungnir, the Leviathan Axe, Surtr's Sword, and possibly the Blades of Chaos.
