Double post: Thora is now finished, both can be seen below. I'll flesh out the history at a later date, although a Tll;dr is there. [Hider=Bjorn] [Center][img] http://th09.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2011/172/f/4/viking_by_valery62100-d3jhfb5.jpg[/img][/Center] Name: Bjorn Matthews Nickname/Title: The Thunder, Awe Team Title: Team Valkyrie Gender: Male Age: 26 Position: Asylum Specialty: Hybrid-Bjorn was never able to stick with a single school of thought on which Asylum school he would pursue. His wandering mind was determined to explore each school of thought, and he succeeded in becoming one of the rare Hybrids of the generation. Many a tutor bemoan the loss of a talented singular specialist, as he is shown to be highly competent in all schools, despite the lack of mono-specing. Alchemic Style: Primary-Vocum, Secondary-Motem Asylum Code: XLII (42) the number is etched on the palm of his right hand. Weapons: [i]Anvil[/i]-Anvil is a large maul seemingly made of stone. The weapon is increadibly heavy and made of a strange mineral that vibrates more than normal when it strikes against metal. The item is used both as a channel for his Motem alchemy and as a very powerful bludgeoning weapon. Bjorn’s high physical strength means he wields the weapon with ease, despite its weight. [i]Forge[/i]A round shield made of Alchemy resistant material, Bjorn uses this in conjunction with Anvil to make as much trouble on the battlefield as possible. He can use both to make loud noises, as catalyst for his Alc-tech. Alchemy specialization: [b]Sound manipulation[/b]- Bjorn is the thunder to his sister's lightning, and his Alchemy specialisation is the manipulation of sound. He prides himself on his versatility and ingenuity with the ability, both able to trick and confound foes, or crush them under the body numbing effects of a concentrated sonic boom. Either way, Bjorn is able to use the ability to control the battlefield and make use of his intelligence and ingenuity. Appearance: Bjorn is, no pun intended, a bear of a man. He stands at 6 foot 8 and weights well over 300 pounds of muscle-mass. His dirty blonde hair is long and shaggy and so very typical of the Nordic people from his home country. He seems to personify the Finnish blood inside his veins and some even go as far as to claim he is the reincarnation of a Viking hero. His eyes burn an intense blue colour, bright like the ocean, and his face is constantly full of emotion and covered in hair. Personality: Bjorn is a man who seems to be defined by a confident self-control. He is brash and, some would argue arrogant, however his self-confidence seems founded by a great deal of success and a high temperament of skill. People describe their first meetings with Bjorn as ‘daunting.’ Be it due to his high intelligence or his intimidating form. Soon enough though, Bjorn reveals himself to be a teddybear of a man. He is a good friend, even if he is a smartass, and prone to sarcasm. He holds those close to him in high esteem and values their protection over his own. This is no more apparent than with his sister. When the situation calls for it, Bjorn is a competent leader and doesn’t hesitate to lead his sister in the group or other Asylums, if it is required. History: Tl;dr- The Matthew siblings are fifth-generation Asylums whose parents 'tarnished' the line by forcing an A.R.M.O termination due to the mother’s Insannadiction. Other: None Applicable.

She is easily offended and easily riled up, with her brother being the main thing that keeps her balanced. Alchemic Style: Primary-Motem, Secondary-Vocem Asylum Code: XIV (24), the number is etched onto her left palm Weapons: [i]Wire Gauntlets: Spark Plug[/i]-The primary weapon of Thora is a pair of gauntlets, each with a motorised steel whip inside. The whip is highly conductive of electricity and each whip is tipped with an Anti-Alchemy substance harpoon. [i]Leaf Sword: Sleipnir[/i]-An Anti-Alchemy substance sword that Thora uses as her main weapon for dealing with the riffraff. It is forged with a horse motif, having the a small horse’s head overlapping the flat of the blade from the pommel in a purely artistic fashion. Alchemy specialization: [b]Electrical Manipulation[/b]-Thora’s main party trick is the conjuration and control of electricity. She is able to generate and control high amounts of static electricity which allows her to supercharge anything directly connected to her body with a powerful electrical charge. The voltage of the electricity is relative to the gathered static electricity, normally generated through the use of Motem and Vocem actions. At tier 3, she can unleash small bolts of electricity as projectiles, as well as charging anything conductive, her body included, to make a Taser of sorts. Her control of electricity makes her immune to electrical shocks. Appearance: Whereas Bjorn is a giant of a man, Thora is a lithe 5 foot, 8 inches who barely weighs over 160 lbs. She is more whip-like in her musculature and is a sword, in comparison to the hammer that is Bjorn. She shares the same bright blue eyes that Bjorn calls his own, but the crimson hair of her mother. She is pretty in a very natural way, but equally she is fierce looking and a little intimidating. Personality: Thora initially comes across as moody, self-centred and judgemental. She is quick to point out a person’s mistakes and reacts harshly when anyone points out hers. She has a very obvious inferiority complex, and struggles to be considered anything less than equal: unless rank demands otherwise. She respects the more military side of A.R.M.O, in that she would never disobey an order from a superior, with one exception. After a while though, Thora is revealed to be a fragile individual. She is heavily dependent on her brother for both moral support and as a compass for right and wrong. She was heavily affected by the fate of her mother and father, which makes her both prideful and resentful of them. She holds the bond with her brother above anything else, and would likely go AWOL before abandoning him. She respects his leadership in the same way she respects the word of an authority figure of A.R.M.O. It is unknown which sense of duty would prevail, should the two ever clash.
