[/i][/center]The Person
Name: Octavius Thorson of Themyscira

Place of Birth: Asgard
Current Place of Residence: Homes in both Asgard & Themyscira
Affiliation: JLA, Asgard, Themyscira

Height: 6"5
Weight: 590 lbs
Appearance:
Civilian Attire: Octavius doesn't generally wear civilian attire that would be considered normal by modern Earth standards, spending vast majority of his time between Asgard & Themyscira and has clothes to suit those areas, usually some mix furs, ceremonial armour and leathers when in Asgard, or lighter, more free flowing tunics, cloaks and sandals and on occasion, suitable ceremonial Themyscirian armour, if a masculine version.
Personality:
Octavius is many things, he is confident, proud, he is a warrior born. He is also however, quite friendly and can be very humble when in the presence of certain people or when an occasion calls for it. He was raised to be humble with his powers of birthright, and has learned well. Although he can drink and make merry with the best of them in Asgard and shows more traits of his dear old Dad, he is clearly a mother's boy, and affectionately stands by her side often.

The Hero
Codename: N/A
Hero Attire: Octavius's hero attire is effectively a suit of Asgardian attire with a pair of Themysciran bracers. A layer of chainmail worn under a darkened leather tunic, heavy boots, a thick red cloak and a helmet that covers his head and the bridge of his nose with a chainmail attachment at its rear, to protect the back of his neck.
Powers: Octavius is biologically quarter Asgardian, quarter Elder God and half Themysciran, this grants him physical ability & superhuman attributes far beyond the norm of a human and even members of his parent races, and the Asgardians and Themyscirans. His durability, speed, endurance, reflexes, agility, senses, lifespan, self sustenance, immunities to toxins, illnesses and healing factor is in the league of his parents. His raw physical strength however, is in fact superior to both. Octavius, being a Norse God, is the deity of strength, granting him a limitless supply of strength. Like all other Asgardians, he is capable of entering a rage that amplifies his strength tenfold, this is however, a rare event.
Earth Control: As the Grandson of Gaea the Earth Goddess, like his Father he has the ability to control the Earth, capable of performing feats such as moving the ground, creating vast chasms.
Empathy: Like his Mother Diana, he has a blessing from Athena that grants him great insight, it also provides him with an immunity to illusions and attempts at mind control, even against people of very high level.
Skills:
Master Combatant: Trained by both Thor & Wonder Woman, Octavius is a master combatant in both armed and unarmed combat, his trainers of the highest quality combined with over a decade of experience battling frost giants perfecting his art makes him a better combatant then most dedicated mortals would achieve with a lifetime of training. His weapons of choice are a bardiche like battle axe, and a lasso of truth.
Expert Tactician: Once again trained by both of his parents, Octavius is very familiar in the art of war, backed with skills in persuasion, diplomacy, leadership and an infinite well of courage to inspire others.
Sculpting: Octavius is capable sculpter, having been raised to appreciate the arts and taken it up so not all of his talents would be combat based.
Multi-Lingual: Octavius speaks English, Themysciran, modern and ancient Greek and all the modern and ancient Scandinavian languages.
Worthy of Mjolnir: While technically not a skill, Octavius possesses the mystical worthiness to pick up and use his father's famous hammer. Thor however, does not believe Octavius has earned the right to inherit the weapon just yet, and waits for a challenge to test his boy, one that his birth right brute strength cannot win for him.
Special Equipment:
Magic Axe: Octavius has been given an Uru crafted enchanted Axe by his father, its enchantment allows the weapon to return to his hand when thrown or otherwise not at hand. As is a propety of Uru, once enchanted it becomes nigh-indestructible. Knowing his son would need to travel all of Midgard and on occasion return to Asgard, Thor has enchanted Octavius's axe to teleport in a manner identical to what Mjolnir allows him to do.
Indestructible Bracers: A pair of bracers just like the ones worn by his mother and all other Amazonians that allow him to deflect attacks that would otherwise cause great harm. One bracer is marked with a red star, like his mothers, while the other is marked with a hammer symbol, to signify his father.
Lasso Of Truth: Octavius makes use of a Lasso of Truth, identical to the ones used by his mother and Donna Troy.
[7/28/12]
Mjolnir: Octavius has inherited his father's hammer, Mjolnir. With Mjolnir Octavius can control the weather as his father is known to do, the hammer also allows Octavius to fly, teleport, project energy (such as the God blast), create force fields, disrupt magic and perform all other feats the hammer is capable of achieving.
Weaknesses:
Piercing Weapon Vulnerability: Like his mother, Octavius has a weakness against piercing attacks, and although his Asgardian density somewhat makes it less of a weakness then his mother has to put up with, it is a more viable way of causing bodily harm then say, blunt force attacks.
Octavius has been raised to cherish human life, and was taught by his father that, as he is a God, it is unfair to use his power to might against mortals. While in Asgard he is happy to slice and dice Frost Giants and other super natural foes, Octavius uses only a fraction of his full might against mortals, and would rather take a beating then risk striking a killing blow. However, as patience and humble as he truly is, his temper has a limit and like his father, Octavius is capable of great wrath when pushed too far. When such a thing happens, Octavius becomes overwhelmed with built up anger and frustration, and is quite likely to cause massive damage and end many lives unless he is restrained suitably. This has never happened yet, but its not to say it can't happen.
Most Heroic Achievements: When he was twenty he held a narrow pass for five months straight against a Frost Giant army.
History:
Octavius Thorson of Themyscira is the son of Thor Odinson & Diana of Themyscira, whom met very shortly after the two worlds merged. During the merging process, Themyscira was re-located to the world of Asgard, only a day's travel by foot from the city-state of Asgard. In the confusion, Themyscira was set upon by Frost Giants and Fire Demons, both of which wanted to lay claim to the "fresh blood." Heimdall spotted the country and alerted both King Balder and Thor. While Balder assembled Asgard's army and prepared to ride out, Thor flew and joined the battle with haste. The battle was won and the giants and demons were sent running, the dead left to be buried. This was when Asgard met Themyscira, and Thor met Wonder Woman.
It was during long days and as long nights exploring the reason as to why Themyscira was in a strange land, and the forging of an alliance and the sharing of information on the threats that often set upon their homes that a love prospered between the two. They had much in common, both born to a magical world and heroes to Earth, she was Themyscira's answer to him, he was Asgard's answer to her. They found a kinship in each other like they knew nowhere else.....not in Amora or Sif, not in Batman or Superman.
It was still a surprise to all when, having known each other only one year, and tiny speck of time to either people, they announced they were to wed. It was two years after they met that Octavius was born. He was raised a son of both realms, Octavius Thorson of Themyscira. In the mead halls of Asgard his hair was ruffled by Volstagg and in the palaces and temples of Themyscira he laughed upon his Grandmother's knee.
He enjoyed a high quality of life in either place, and while the journey was a day by foot, neither of his parents took anything then they wanted to get to either place and eventually he was old enough to make the journey himself with great speed, so he often moved between his two homes. Once he was old enough to hold a sword, his parents taught him their arts, it didn't take an Oracle to tell he was going to grow into a warrior, and almost just a surely a hero on Midgard.
Winters passed and the boy grew into a man, making his first and so far only trip across the rainbow bridge when he was sixteen where he met many of his parents allies, before returning to Asgard some weeks later. His parents of course made many trips to Midgard, he wouls stay behind, learning his lessons under grandmother Hippolyta or going on adventures with the Warriors three.
Now, at 28 years old, Octavius has decided to really introduce himself to Midgard and serve on the Justice League of Avengers as a hero, like his parents.
RP Sample:
"Four thousand nine hundred and ninety eight......fourth thousand nine hundred and ninety nine......five thousand!" Octavius half roared and half spat before putting down the latest in Stark Tech excersize equipment for the super strong individual, the particular device was a massive barbell crafted from reinforced titanium, which wasn't particularly heavy, but the real trick was what was inside the reinforced titanium, devices to create small, artificial gravity wells. Using gravity to make the weights thousands of times heavier, of course it had to be switched off quickly to avoid the gravity of the item driving it through the floor.
Flexing his shoulders after completing it, he felt it was time to shower and finish up....besides.....benching that sort of weight five thousand times took very long. But it gave him the work out he had needed to remind himself how good it felt to do that sort of work. He didn't even feel tired, rather stiff, but not tired. Proceeding straight to the shower, the supposed child of Thor took his time in showering down, it wasn't the same as bathing in a fine natural pool by a waterfall, but it would suffice.
When all was said and done, feeling fresh and energized, smelling of natures finest oils, Octavius left the training area, not actually sure where to go next, the Godling just wandered. He was content to just learn his way around the building, until something tickled his ear. "Now t' cause a lil bit of trouble." Raising an eyebrow with interest, Octavius parked himself at the doorway, noticing Desiree in side. Folding his arms at his chest and leaning against the doorway, Octavius called out. "A bit of trouble is it?"
