Name: Thor, better known throughout Tamriel as Swordfall, Dovahkiin. Race: Nord Age: 23 Height: 6'2" Weight: 146 Gender: Male ( And straight, of course.) Affiliations: Greybeards and the Ebonheart Pact. Backstory: [spoiler]Born in Skyrim's Eastmarch region, his family built a house along the border between The Rift and Morrowind's Stonefalls region shortly after his birth. There, Thor was raised. He also learned of the Tribunal, and later came to worship them as the Dunmer did. At the age of 13, Thor was sent to Mournhold in Deshaan to learn how to fight, and to gather whatever other knowledge he wished to know. While there, he became incredibly skilled with a greatsword and decent with a bow. When it came to greatswords, Thor could beat his master within one year of training, and his master was known as one of the best swordmasters in Morrowind. With a bow, although less talented with one, Thor won a few competitions and bouts, but he only ever established a minor name for himself when it came to archery. Thor was also found to be much more cunning and intelligent than your average Nord, but still unable to top any of the Elf species. Once his training was complete, he set out for Davon's Watch at age 17. There, he also learned the craft of blacksmithing. By the time he was 19, he had grown weary of his meager life in Davon's Watch and wanted to return to Skyrim. So, he gathered his belongings and set out. Once he reached his family's home, however, he found it smoldering with his sibling's charred corpses inside. He found his parents a few miles away at an inn. They explained to him that something, they didn't know what, had flown over his house and set on fire. As they tried to evacuate, his siblings were cut off from his parents by falling debris. They think Thor's younger brother may have escaped, but they weren't certain. Thor's older sister was away on a journey to Windhelm in Eastmarch, Thor's birthplace. So, hoping to find his brother there as well, he set out for Windhelm. On the way there, he spotted the shadow of something matching his parent's description of what burned down his house, so he chased it to a ruin atop a mountain. There, he discovered that's where the creature was roosting. Then, the creature landed, revealing itself to be a dragon. The dragon took to the skies again and rained flaming death upon Thor. After taking cover, Thor brought the dragon to the ground with seven arrows through his wings. Then, Thor leaped from the tower he had been shooting from, and drove his greatsword through the beast's skull, killing it. Once he pulled the sword from the dragon's skull, the dragon began to disappear as its skin was burned away and a great wind kicked up around Thor. Then, the dragon was nothing but a pile of bones and scales. But, Thor seemed to have absorbed the wind, and felt a great change inside of him. He was drawn to a nearby wall in the ruins with writing he couldn't previously understand, but now it called to him, begging him to read it. Upon doing so, an ancient word he only vaguely understood erupted from his mouth, and the words shattered the wall to pieces. One week later, he had arrived at Windhelm and told his sister of the family's fate, and of his experience at the ruins. After getting through her shock and questions on the remaining family's condition, she told Thor to seek out the Greybeards to help him with his strange experience. Once he found them, they marveled at him, then told him the legend of the Dragonborn. Once complete, they told him that he was the next Dragonborn, meant to slay this recent wave of dragons. And so, he set out across Skyrim, searching for dragons to slay, new shouts to master, and helping anyone who needed it. He also ventured into Morrowind again, and helped the Ebonheart Pact. However, he never took part in the battle of Cyrodil. And in more recent years, Thor has helped citizens of the Aldemeri Dominion, though never joining them, and also journeyed to the lands of the Daggerfall Covenant.[/spoiler] Weapons: [spoiler] He carries an ebony greatsword with an enchantment of frost on it as his main weapon. Thor named the blade "Dragon Reaper" in a gloating remembrance of the dragons he's slain. He also carries an unenchanted ebony bow with dwemer arrows in the quiver. Hidden in his belt, he carries a dagger with an enchantment of flame just in case he loses Dragon Reaper. Thor also knows a little bit of magic, but not much. Just healing spells, and fire spells. He can also tap into some powers the Ebonhearts brought out in him, and summon spiked armor to reflect a small amount of magic damage back at his adversary, and he can summon a shard of obsidian from his hands to knock his opponents to the floor for a short amount of time while also hurting them.[/spoiler] Armor: [spoiler] He wears a set of Nordic Carved Armor. Made from steel, he also put resist fire on his chestpiece and leggings, resist poison on his helmet, and resist lightning on his greaves. However, Thor is always seeking to improve his armor and is currently working on Ebony armor, with either Dragon armor or Daedric armor planned for the future.[/spoiler] Skills and perks: [spoiler]Resist cold: Being a Nord born in Skyrim, Thor is mildly resistant to any type of cold or frost. Nordic talent: Also with the traits of a Nord, Thor is very effective in combat, and a master with greatswords. Dovahkiin's Thu'um: As a Dragonborn, Thor can make use of the language of the dragons to cast powerful spells known as Dragon Shouts, words of power that can only be used by dragons, Dragonborn, and a select few individuals. currently, Thor only knows Unrelenting Force (Fus Ro Dah!), Bend Will (Gol Hah Dov!), and Call Dragon (Od Ah Viing!). While he knows some of the words to others, Thor refuses to use the shout until he knows it all. Fortunately, he's still finding more words to the shouts and is currently researching the Dragonborn before him, the slayer of Alduin. As he researches that Dragonborn, he is trying to locate where he can learn the Dragonrend shout, a shout that can bring great dragons such as Alduin to their knees (if they have any).[/spoiler] Weaknesses: [spoiler] Filled with sorrow: After the death of most of his family, Thor isn't too friendly with people because he doesn't want to become too connected to them. And, he isn't the most mentally stable of people either, but he's better than most. Nord pride: Thor is rather reckless sometimes, since the idea of his Nordic ego and being the Dragonborn sometimes goes to his head. No time for reason: Sometimes, if pressured and not thinking straight, Thor may abandon a well- laid plain on a hunch, or he may make a hasty decision regarding someone else that would have turned out better if he thought it through for a second.[/spoiler]
