I'd like to reserve King Thor. I've already started an application which I need to fill in the bio. My only question is the history freestyle? Is there anything I need to know about Thor/House Odinson before I write it out? And if this has a realistic setting of the medieval times, would Thor and the Asgardians have to be human age or not? (pardon my grammar in a rush.)
The history is made up to a certain extent, with some parallels to a song of fire and ice lore. A few key differences however.
--In the times of the antiquity there were two highly developed superpowers, Atlantis and (Old) Asgard. Many believed that these super-powers routinely fought eachother for resources, ultimately ending in the destruction of at least both civilization(s). All that remains of the old Asgard lies in ruins at the bottom of the ocean.
--Faced with an unwinnable outcome, the Grey King Imperius Rex made a pact with Borr Odinson, in exchange for his life and his kingdom, his people would be spared from destruction and allowed to rebuild in a new home of their choosing. He went down as Atlantis burned. Descendants of the grey king reformed in what is now known as the iron islands.
--The first Asgardians(joined by some Atlanteans) came to the continent sometime during the first Age and spared Marvelos from an ancient threat, although there had been natives existing on the continent prior to the Asgardian occupation, they were more or less "unenlightened" free-folk tribes without any centralized governing force to protect themselves from external threats.
--Borr Odison was the founder of House Odinson and would go on to become the first unified king of the realms.
--The various native freefolks ended up becoming commonfolks under Borr Odison. House Rogers is in fact a descendant of one of the oldest prominent native families prior to Asgardian acquisition. Commonfolk are in fact a majority of the population of Marvelos, but a "minority" all the same.
--The rise of the mutant population(s) came henceforth with the intermingling of the various groups, although Borr generally believed Asgardians to be a supreme people with no equal, he fathered many children with commoners. The children he fathered would go on to found many houses of the realms. Though these bastard borns couldn't claim the throne for their own, they could establish territories of their own to rule. Many did just that and fought in a succession of wars over claim of these territories.
--While the Summer Isles aren't technically considered apart of the king's realms, being an independent island nation with a diverging origin, they are considered key players in Marvelos and throughout much of the world. The world's most valued metal is produced in the summer isles, many of the world's magic and technology advancements originate from the Summer Isles. With the assassination of late king T'chaka, it goes without saying that The Summer Isles will take a more active role in their associations with the realms.
