Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yaarel" data-source="post: 8564177" data-attributes="member: 58172">I am coming from a Norwegian perspective. The main animistic personifications in Norway are Þórr, Freyr, Nǫrðr, and Ullr, in that order. Freyja is prominant in some regions, and Baldr shows up here and there. Óðinn is unimportant and viewed as treacherous, but can be a muse. Þórr (Tor) is by far the most celebrated aspect of nature.Tor is the summer thunderstorms. Lightning is his hammer. Steep mountain cliffs are often named for him because of their breathtaking view of the sky. They have a contemplative mood.His Lawful aspect is primary. He is the enforcer of oaths, and a punisher of those who violate oaths. The cyclical weather maintains the cosmic order that makes human life possible.Altho good versus evil isnt really a Norse thing, Tor explicitly defends human civilization from the cruelties of nature (certain jotnar). So he is arguably Good. Hence Lawful Neutral or Lawful Good.Tor has a champion vibe, stepping in to defend others.Tor rarely deals with humans on a personal level, and the few times he does might work out less well for the humans. Even so, he considers certain human individuals to be his "friend".His wife "Sif", means, "in-law", a phenomenon where a person gains new family, not by blood, but by a marital oath.Sometimes Tor resorts to trickery, but doesnt speak lies. He did have Loki tell lies for him tho, in an emergency.His rage is a Personality Flaw.Tor is literally any and every thunderstorm, but can manifest in the form of a human.(D&D can stat his human form. I stat him as an epic tier Paladin, but substitute thunder and lightning instead of radiant damage. He knows magic and occasionally uses it. He probably has levels in Bard, but instead, I give Charm Person and Fear to his Paladin oath spells, and let the Paladin represent his magic, especially the warrior magic. The mother of Tor is Jord (Jǫrð), earth itself, the most powerful jotnar. Tor is extremely strong in his own right (Strength 24?), and his hammer makes him superlatively strong (30?), more than any jotnar. Tor is mortal and can die, and is fated to die.)</blockquote>
