Thor is one of the most highly regarded powers of Asgard, for while he's not too bright, he's very keen on revenge - and very fast with repayment for an insult (or a perceived insult). In some berks that's a fault, but it's won Thor the admiration of countless mortals.
Fittingly, hot-headed Thor is the power of thunder and lightning, and when storms roll across the prime-material worlds, his worshippers sigh in relief - it means their god's doing his job slaying the enemies of Asgard. Farmers venerate Thor, too: as the power of crops he can ensure a fruitful harvest. 'Course, he can also wipe out whole fiends with floods or harsh rains - and that'd spell disaster for the winter.
Thor is truly reckless, and he gets drawn into dangerous situations easily. But he's got three things that help him out of most any jam: his quick-thinking companions, his sheer strength of will, and his mighty hammer Mjolnir, one of the most destructive forces in the multiverse.
He's popular among the rest of the pantheon, too: the Norse gods usually come to him when there's a problem requiring brute muscle and bull-headedness. Thor is the husband of Sif, the son of Odin and Erda (who's sometimes called Fjoryn or Jord), and the father of Magni and Modi. Like the rest of the Aesir, he's not too keen on Loki, but they've travelled together in the past and have a tenuous alliance.
Thor lives with his wife in Bilskirnir, an oak and iron-shod affair thaht's home to some of the rowdiest warriors in all of Asgard. They sook to be just like their patron, and thus are stormy and quick-tempered. It's no wonder planeswalkers and sight-seers don't visit the place too often.
Thor's proxies are Thialfi and Roskva. They serve the thunder god because their parents injured the two magical goats that pull Thor's chariot through the ski - only the gift of children could save the parents from Thor's wrath. Thialfi can run faster than any living being, and Roskva can summon lightning wherever she's standing.
