## Statistics

Tyr Odinson, also called Tyr One-Hand, is the Aesir God of War, Courage, Honor and Justice. The second of Allfather Odin's divine sons, Tyr is Asgard's foremost battle commander, even as his elder brother Thor is its finest warrior. Ruthless and brilliant, Tyr is well known for his skill as a general and feared for his fierce temper. Strict in his adherence to discipline, he serves as First Lawspeaker in Asgard, handling all manner of legal disputes in the name of the Allfather whenever he is not leading Aesir armies into battle.

## Physical Appearance

Tyr typically appears as a Caucasian man in his early thirties. His features are hard, with an expression that usually varies between stoicism and simmering fury. Tyr is possessed of a similar build to his brother Thor; huge, broad, bulky, his entire body covered in dense, powerful muscle, though he lacks the enshrouding layer of fat possessed by the Thunderer. His shoulders are wide and bull like, his limbs thick and brawny, though Tyr moves with a fair degree of grace and swiftness for one of his size.

Like his brother, Tyr possesses red hair, though his is a duller shade. He usually wears it long over the top, often tying it into a braid in the back, while having the sides of his head shaved. The War God also typically sports a beard, well groomed in contrast to Thor's messy tangle, often with enough length to support a braid at the chin.

Despite the disparity in hair coloring, Tyr shares strong facial similarities with his father Odin, with observers having remarked that he possesses his sire's nose, general cheekbone structure, and eyebrow shape. Tyr also has grey-blue eyes, the same shade as Odin's.

Most distinct of all his features, however, is Tyr's missing right hand, which he lost to the jaws of the wolf Fenrir, and never grew back. In its place, Tyr often wears a vicious spike, though he often sports the uncovered stump proudly, a reminder of his courage for all to see.

## Personality

Tyr in many ways is the absolute embodiment of Aesir ideals. He is utterly fearless in battle, and ruthless to his foes, never flinching from danger to his person or any act of cruelty should it be necessary to win. He holds strong to the Aesir concepts of honor, holding to his sworn word, never fleeing from battle, punishing wrongdoers, and pursuing every task given to him by his liege with fanatic zeal. His fearsome demeanor inspires respect and obedience in his subordinates, and terror in his foes. Tyr is dutiful and disciplined, and though he enjoys indulging in feasts and flesh and drink and occasion, he is no glutton for such appetites. He is even quite learned, schooled in history, artifice, and magic, admittedly, mostly on matters of military and state, yet his dedication to keeping his mind as strong as his body is unquestioned.

Yet while Tyr may be a paragon of Aesir ideals, his motives for so embodying them are complex and deep rooted. Ultimately, Tyr is a hungry being. Hungry for battle, hungry for glory, hunger for love and adoration. Ego is what drives him. A deep, consuming insecurity that he is not good enough motivates the zeal with which he pursues his every goal in life. With such desperate fires burning within his spirit, Tyr exerts tremendous effort to constantly improve his standing and maintain his image among the Aesir. And any threat to that image stokes his fury like nothing other.

Tyr's general demeanor is stern and commanding. He is typically precise in his speech, not so coarse as some of the other Aesir, but still blunt and forceful in his manner. He is not without humor, though most of the things that make him smile or laugh are related to battle. He does enjoy cutting others down for actions that he deems frivolous or silly, especially when he looks better by comparison.

But while Tyr can certainly dish out chastisement and humiliation, he does not respond well to it himself. Insults towards his character or reminder of his failures can quickly stoke his anger, causing him to lose his usual controlled and focused demeanor. Tyr hates being one upped or made a fool out of, and the taste of defeat has often been known to make him act quite rashly, and he is very prone to keeping grudges towards any who has embarassed him in the past.
