Background/History:  The Lioness of Asgard. Thrud is the daughter of Thor and Sif; her brother Modi is the current ruler of Asgard. He bares Mjolnir as his weapon. Her brother Magni is something of a rebel and has chosen to leave New Asgard to protect Midgard from the machinations of the great evils of the day. Taking Odur's place as the Sun God, Thrud has followed Magni (and Khur, and Freya) to Midgard to see what the fuss was about. What she's found is a land of adventure and mayhem that she can really get lost in. She knows she has duties in Asgard and returns frequently, but the draw of the mortal realm is strong and she always returns.

Personality/Motivation:  Thrud is what you might get if you crossed Marvel Comic's Thor and She-Hulk. She's a happy, fun loving young goddess with great power and a keen interest in showing off her might. She makes frequent visits to Freya and they go carousing together or spar. She's shown a deep attraction to Freya's suitor and fellow hero Empyrean; they are both Sun Gods you see. But she's not about to try to take Freya's man.

Quote:  Come, Firewing, test my mettle.

Powers/Tactics:  A brawler that sometimes forgets she has the powers of the sun at her disposal. Thrud really likes to go toe to toe with her opposition, but will break out the sword if she feels her foe is worthy (especially if they too draw a weapon) and if the situation is dire or in obvious circumstances, she'll bring out the Sun.

Campaign Use:  Just one of the many powerful beings on Else Earth. If she's too tough, simply lower her powers to taste. However, make sure to lower all the Entities of Great Power that litter my landscape accordingly.

Appearance:  Tall and warrior sexy. She has inherited Sif's Golden hair and has eyes that seemingly reflect the daytime sky. She wears rather sexy armor like her friend Freya. Thrud's ascension to Sun Goddess has altered her physically a little, she is consequently darker in skin tone than her fair skinned bretheren. She wears her hair long but with two braids on either side of her head. She wears a simple golden circlet to keep her hair from her eyes. Her armor is golden and red and bears the image of her chosen animal, a lioness.
When slumming it on Midgard she wears jeans and t-shirts. Dressing up only when "forced".

[Enforcer84]

oops. the "Choose one Weapon" is blades. so...subtract one point.

[Legatus]

1419 points, that's a hefty girl! But I like her. :)

I'm not sure about the name though. How did you come up with that? Is that from Norse Legends? TH is very uncharacteristic spelling in Scandinavian. How do you pronounce her name?:confused:

[Enforcer84]

I've read that Thrud was Thor's daughter somewhere. I can't recall where.


...but I have a Wiki reference here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9Er%C3%BA%C3%B0r)

[Legatus]

Awesome! May I nickname her Trudy?:D

[JmOz]

Looks good overall, I would probably give most of her godly stats and powers a -1/4 restrainable other than grabs lim (The Gods required constant renewal of there abilities from eating of the Golden Apples IIRC)

They did. But you never know, if they do in Enforcer's world.;)

BTW it gives a whole new meaning to the old saying: An apple a day...

Þrúðr is the name that Angizes to Thurd:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9Er%C3%BA%C3%B0r It means Strength.

Hmmm... You know, once we figure out what's the deal with the Asgardians in the Bunnyverse... :think:

[Lord Fyre]

Of course, when I see the name "Thrud" I keep thinking of this character . . .
Thrud (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrud_the_Barbarian) :eek:

[Enforcer84]

yeah I saw that too.

[Moonblade]

Thurd is the right spelling but you're missing out on a great disadvantage from the mythology. Hunted; Dwarf Suitor. Yeah, her father tricked him into turning into stone with all his friends but you never know... he could reemerge.

[The Arc]

I created a Thrud, but I went for a more of a Thor type clone. Don't mind my drawing. It was one of my earliest, and drawing faces isn't easy.

Background
Thrud surveyed the carnage that was the feast hall of Valhalla. How long had this been going on? Since the dawn of the Aesir probably, every morning the warriors of the hall would battle to the death, those that died came back to Valhall and after the battle the feast would begin, again. It was so pointless thought Thrud. What had happened to the glory of Asgard? Things had certainly gone down hill in the last few eons. Looking around the room she couldn't help but sneer in contempt, not only for the feast room, but also for herself. A daughter of the mighty Thro, a captain of the Valkyrie, how far she had fallen too. She along with the rest of the valkyrie had become scullery maids, cleaning up the nightly mess that the Aesir created.


Thrud carefully stepped over a pool of vomit on the floor to the great table. Father had stopped listening to her complaints a long time ago, and Modi and Magni were both impossible. One was bully and the other had rocks for brains. Her father could be both. What glory had any of them earned in a really long time?


A loud snore from a heap on the bench brought Thrud out of her musings. Father lay across the table, passed out as usual. Thor had certainly let himself go. No wonder mother had left Valhalla long ago. He was a disgrace. Thrud looked around the hall, but it looked like no one was watching. Lying in a pool of congealed gravy was Mjollnir, her fathers' hammer. None could lift the powerful hammer, except for those who wore her fathers' belt Megingjard. Thrud lovingly touched Mjollnir and that was when an idea struck her. Thor would be passed out for several more hours. Easing arund her fathers' girh, Thrud loosened his already loosened belt. Thor let out a might belch, and a piece of the chicken that he had been eating before he passed out, fell from his mouth.


As quietly as possible, Thrud girded Megingjard around her svelte waist. It fit perfectly. Thrud turned around and around to see how she looked with the belt on her, and she had to admit that she looked good with it on, almost heroic. She certainly felt a lot stronger, as strong as a giant. Feeling powerful, Thrud picked up Mjollnir. At first the hammer resisted, but it cam free of the gravy and Thrud pulled out a cloth and lovely cleaned the hammer. Thrud would never treat Mjollnir disrespectfully. She put the hammer in the waist band of the belt and ran from the room.


There was only one stop on her way to the Rainbow Bridge and that was her fathers' bedroom. Thrud needed his iron gauntlet. Without the gauntlet she wouldn't be able to catch the hammer as it returned to her hand after being thrown. Searching though all of the soiled clothes and bed sheets, Thrud found the gauntlet in a cracked thunder mug. Washing it in the stream outside was the only way to get it cleaned. Afterwards Thrud put the gauntlet on and it fit like a glove. Feeling truly heroic, Thrud practically flew to the Rainbow Bridge.


Standing at his post, always vigilant stood Heimdall the watchman of Asgard. However, Heimdall only kept watch against giants, not Asgardian lasses with a quick smile. Smiling brightly at the bearded Heimdall, Thrud sauntered down the Rainbow Bridge, Heimdall's eyes never leaving her.


Finally Thrud was free. No more working as a scullery for ungrateful louts. The Rainbow Bridge deposited Thrud in Midgard, in the city of Hammerfast, Norway. In a way Thrud felt the name was appropriate. Since coming to Midgard, Thrud had made a name for herself as a champion of Norway. Her only regret is that someday her father will wake from his stupor and want back his things, but until that day comes Thrud will seek out all the glory she can find.

Personality
Thrud is a young Asgardian who wants a little adventure in her life. Once she really looked up to her father for his many brave deeds, and by taking his things hopes to emmulate him. Thrud is strong willed, and often times go ahead with a plan without much thought to her actions. Since being on Midgard, she had taken to be one of the so called "super-heroes", and from what she has learned about super-hereos is that they don't kill. Thrud has adopted their no killing creed.

Quote
"Foolish mortal ye can't stand against the storm that is Thrud."

Powers
Thrud is an Asgardian, as such she's stronger, hardier, and faster than mortals. Like other Asgardians, she's effectively immortal. Mortal diseases and poisons have no effect on Thrud.


Thrud wields Mjollnir, Thors' hammer. Using the hammer, Thrud can affect the weather around her, create bolts of ligthning, mighty winds, or cause thunder to crash defeaning her foes. Even without changing the weather, Mjollnir is a mighty hammer able to deliver powerful blows. Due to an enchantment on the hammer, Thrud is able to fly. Thrud also wears Megingjard, her fathers' magical belt. The belt allows Thrud to actually lift Mjollnir, and grants her a doubling of her normal strength.

Appearance
Thrud is a beautiful red headed lady. She likes to keep her hair in a ponytail. Thrud taller than most women, and has the build of a female bodybuilder but has curves like the best of them. Using her innate magic, Thrud can appear as a mortal woman. When not in her natural form, Thrud likes to wear warm fashionable clothing usually with a fur trim. It does get cold in Norway after all. When in her natural form, Thrud wears a blue chain mail suit that was specially built for her. In her right hand she wields Mjollnir, and wrapped around her waist is a golden belt. Also on her right hand is her fathers' iron gauntlet.

[Clonus]

I like the post-Ragnarok background of the first one.

[Enforcer84]

Thurd is the right spelling but you're missing out on a great disadvantage from the mythology. Hunted; Dwarf Suitor. Yeah, her father tricked him into turning into stone with all his friends but you never know... he could reemerge.
Oh that's definately going on revision one.

[Comic]

Well, it makes sense that a dwarf would chase a maiden whose tresses are pure gold, and who can beat a passle of ice giants with one hand while stoking a hearth to white hot heat with the other.
