O U T S P O K E N
When Thor has something on his mind, he doesn't bite his tongue and keep quiet. That sometimes gets him into trouble because he could offend another dog. He does know when to keep his trap shut but it isn't often.O P E N
Thor is also very open; he is honest and doesn't keep secrets. It would be very rare - as rare to find dinosaurs are still alive in remote places - for him to keep secrets or hold things in. If he holds, things in you would know something is up because there would be a change in his behavior. Thor would be fidgety and anxious rather calm and the charmer he is. He is rather explicit in the things he says as well the things he does. Thor hates secrets that are why it bothers him so much not to express it.S I N C E R E
This makes him sincere, honest and modest. Next to secrets it's lies he also hates. Though he understands that sometimes lying can protect those you care about it's still lies. Thor always rather sees the truth. Therefore, when you ask him things, personal or no, he will tell you straight.
{chivalry .[/font]
P O L I T E
Thor is rarely ever rude. He is very polite even when he is honest and telling others the hard truth. He speaks gently and calmly. He isn't courteous to dogs he doesn't like and even hate. When he is polite, you would discover he likes to say big words like insidious, exploit, humorous, prodigious, etc. His favorite words are prodigious, and insidious. Thor says insidious to dogs he doesn't like or angry at.C H A R M
He's very courteous and that with his charm he can be quite a knockout. What adds to Thor's charm is not just his appearance but his accent. He was born and raised in Norway of Europe by a rich Norwegian family. Ever since he came to the US he learned English but Norwegian is and always will be his soul language.S M O O T H
Thor is a smooth talker and knows what he's talking about. He only rambles when he's agitated, very excited or impatient. Moreover, he is not a womanizer, others may think he is but he isn't... or he could be in denial.G E N T L E M A N
In his previous life, he was raised to be a gentleman, he respects females and wouldn't hurt them in anyway. He doesn't treat or think anyone is inferior, not even the females. Thor is no actor, he doesn't charm anyone to get his way it’s just who he is.L O Y A L
Thor is very loyal to his friends and anyone he likes. However, this doesn't mean you get it freely. It doesn't take much to get him on your side though. When you do you can be reassured that he is strong, he would make a valuable companion and friend. Even though he hates lies sometimes, he would lie for the sake of his friends.
{expansive .[/font]
F R I E N D L Y
He is very friendly to most dogs. He gives everyone a chance and it is rare for him not to. If you lie to him constantly or make a huge lie he will give you the silent treatment and won't forgive you until you promise him you won't lie to him again. You have to be sincere and prove to him that he should trust you or he will never talk to you. If you promised him and end up breaking that promise he will tell you never to talk or see him again and act like he never knew you. You do not, I repeat do NOT want him as an enemy or make him angry because he can be like a thunderstorm.T A L K A T I V E
Thor is very talkative, sometimes he would even ramble on about a few things; it matters on how energetic and enthusiastic he is.
{flexible .[/font]
P E R S U A D E
Okay, Thor is not stubborn like most dogs. Though he can be on life threatening situations where its only him that can protect his friends. He would rather die than betray them and would endure all the pain till he draws his last breath. However, the only thing he is flexible on is being persuaded, he would never be persuaded in his beliefs but he would on several other things.[/size]
{intelligent .[/font]
M I N D
He is very intelligent this dog here. A genius even though he is so young. Thor has a great mind and most dogs are baffled because of it. One of the things that was most baffling of him was how poor of a liar he is. Yet when it comes down to it that lying is the only way to save his friends he becomes a natural liar. There is in fact a reason for that. See Thor has a unique brain, meaning he can make fantasies seem like reality to him. So when a dog comes up and threatens him to tell him where Thor's friend is Thor would keep saying, "I don't know," or in a different location. When he keeps saying that over and over his mind becomes used to that. It would click and he would honestly believe that is the truth. Yet this only is temporary. His mind is set on just the truth and never fantasizes. Sometimes it would last several minutes, others a lot longer. Therefore, he fades right back to reality.K E E N
Thor is infinitely accurate and keen. He is always into ideas and knowledge. Thor has a sharp eye on objects and everything that he finds interesting. In fact the whole world intrigues him. Especially the cities, where is so vast with human made buildings, all different kinds and used for all sorts of different things. This makes Thor ultimately curious and acute for details.O B S E R V A N T
Thor is also observant, add that with his acute eyes you have a great watch dog. That isn't exactly unique, not to his breed since Norwegian Elkhounds are prodigious watch dogs and hunters.I N G E N I O U S
He is has a great mind like I put at the top of the intelligence category. Well Thor has great ingenuity. It explains about how he could make lies seem like the truth to him to a small period of time. When Thor is deep in thought or trying to figure out a puzzle his mind would utilize most of the brain and mass function. He would be using so much of the brain that he would even manifest the material around him. Thor would even manifest himself so he could even get better ideas. His mind even works to figuring things out through his dreams, when he try to figure stuff out or think he doesn't dream like everyone else. Because he uses so much of his brain, he gets headaches and his eyes would twitch when he starts utilize his mind. Thor is careful not to go too far into it because if he does go deeper he would faint and have a seizure. So it’s considerably rare for him to overwork himself since he knows how dangerous seizures can be. The only times he would risk it is if its life threatening and running out of time. It takes a vast amount for him to reach seizing point but his headaches would be very bad and take a while for them to end. All this makes him a quite agile.Q U I C K . L E A R N E R
Thor is also a quick learner, that's why he learned English so fast in a small amount of time. He knows two languages, English and Norwegian. Sometimes he would speak Norwegian than English, especially when he is by himself and likes to talk to himself.
{mythophobia .[/font]
P H O B I A
For those who don't know what mythophobia is it is another kind of phobia. And like all phobias, it can be quite severe. It's the kind where you can't stand urban legends like ghost stories that is triggered by a traumatizing horror story in the past when that person was young. In addition, it’s not just stories that can make the person who has this phobia scared. It can be the atmosphere like alone at the dead of night, the silent darkness, someone or something stalking you. Also it could be in a cemetery or any place that would be a bit spooky. Thor here has that phobia. He can't stand stories despite being realistic and disbelieving in fantasy stories. He has a severe case of it so there is no way he would want to walk around at night or go near a spooky place even if it’s in the day. Don't be surprised if he would protest in a horror story. He will get agitated and fidgety or even shivering like crazy. If his friends are endanger Thor would do his best to try to face those fears. When he is terrified and forced to walk in the streets at night he would never go alone unless he had a friend there with him. Under no circumstances try to scare him at night in those streets, if you do he will panic and faint or runaway ignoring everything else and just running till he couldn't anymore. At that point, there would be no reasoning with him. When he would finally stop running at that friend had followed him you won't see him calm like his usual self. You would see him laying down shivering like hell with his paws on his muzzle and eyes closed tightly. He would even hum, trying to cradle and reassure himself, escaping reality. No matter his resolve to reality he cannot break his phobia. He would be paranoid after a horror story, cling to a friend and try to tell himself it's not real. Even his mindset can't break him out of it. It takes a long period for him to snap out of his panic and when he is like that, the best thing you could do is be by his side.
{realistic .[/font]
R E A L I S M
Thor hates fantastic stories, stories that aren't real. Only because one story when he was very young terrified him to the point where he can't stand any horror stories and creepy areas like the cemetery. He would scoff at them and tell them they are nonsense and unnecessary. Thor always rather face the truth, no matter how ugly or horrible it may be. He is not scared to face true stories, even if they are murderous and terrible.I N T E N T
Sometimes he's too serious for his own good. He wasn't allowed to fool around back home. He was taught to learn, to protect, to be a gentleman and nothing else. So it's not his fault if he's too serious and can't take jokes. His lessons on being who he is and who he was glued to his soul so he can't just get rid of it like how he could become tardy. So don't be surprised when you make a joke and he can't get it or you teasing him and he will be frustrated with you instead of laughing or smiling. This doesn't mean he will be snappish and angry, it’s not that kind of seriousness. Like everything Thor learned to control his emotions, especially his temper so he doesn't get angered that easily. Of course, he could glare and by total silent with a vexatious look on his face when he's frustrated or annoyed. Even when he's mad but never angry. The only time he would be angry is when he was lied to by a dog. His face would grow from vexatious to furious.
{tardy .[/font]
L A T E
Oh yes Mr. Charmer and that can be tardy alright. In his previous life he wasn't allowed to be late, whenever he was he would be punished for it. Even though Thor misses his old home he couldn't help but love the fact he could be tardy. He could be late and not be punished like at home. Even though if he's involved in a pack and there is a pack meeting he would tick at least someone off. However, with his charm and that he could get away with it. It's not like Thor is trying to be late here, he doesn't like making people wait.L A Z Y
He is just lazy, as in; he likes to nap in the hot sunlight somewhat lazy. In his previous life, Thor was never allowed to laze around and or slouch, despite his background. Thor isn't like super lazy like a couch potato but he is lazy, he loves to also sleep in since it's another thing he couldn't do till now.
{vexatious .[/font]
A N N O Y A N C E
He can be quite vexatious sometimes. If he's nervous he would fidget in a way that it could be quite annoying. When he is happy or just enjoying himself he would hum. He even clicks his teeth together to make those clicking sounds in other times when he isn't humming. That's rare though because Thor loves humming, out of all the things he favors he loves music. It's why he loves thunderstorms, because so many sounds are together in them, like the falling rain, the thunder, the lightning, swishing trees, roaring waves by the lake or ocean and the roaring wind. Don't be surprised that during a thunderstorm he would be inside cozening in the warm blankets. He would be outside watching the storm, if the storm is bad he would be inside watching out in the window. He would howl on and on in a joyful way. If the storm were weak, he wouldn't sing he would be humming, still singing in a way but not howling.I M P A T I E N T
When he is bored, he would either tap the floor with his claws, click his teeth or hum to pass the time. This would even worse when he has to wait for someone; he can be impatient on something’s, things that are rather important to him. If they aren't that important or not at all he won't get impatient, he won't pace or fidget and anything else annoying. Unless he is bored then he will be annoying. To stop his vexation just talk to him or give him something to do that won't be annoying.[/justify][/blockquote]

{coat .[/font]
F U R
Let's start with the fur then. Since he is a Norwegian Elkhound he has two rich coats. The second coat under the one at the top. If he wasn't completely black anyone would have notice it but it’s just knowledge that assures them that they do indeed have multiple coats so they can endure cold weather. Where Thor was from it can get pretty cold. Barely anyone would have guessed that these dogs have secondary coats since their fur isn't that long. The coat is actually short but thick enough to make all kinds of weather bearable.F U R
He is completely black, his bushy tail, the back, the belly, legs, chest, neck, throat, head, ears muzzle, and paws; all over.
{body .[/font]
M E D I U M . S M A L L
His body is as typical as any norwegian elkhound. However norwegian elkhounds are considered rare.... only outside of the Nordic Countries anyway and Thor is definitely not in any of them. Well for a medium sized dog, his breed is the shortest of all of them. May even be considered small dogs since they are one of the small spitz breeds. Thor is about eighteen and a half inches tall, not even in the twenty limits. His weight is about forty or so pounds. He also has a tail mostly curled on his back.C O M P A C T
The body also compact and strong, typical for hunting in any kind of weather conditions. His ears are straight forward just like any hound.
{eyes .[/font]
C O L O R
His eyes are typical dark but what isn't typical is the color of his eyes. When in shadowed or shaded areas, times where the sun doesn't shine in them and you can see the color in the eyes they are a dark green, like emeralds are in them. You think that when the sun's light shines into them that the green eyes would be more visible, turn into a leaf green or a bright grass green. Wrong, on both of them actually. They show a grayish blue color, not a green with yellow at the very edges only visible if you look closely and he is looking close to the lighted areas. Why or how the colors change is quite simple. In the eyes there are multiple colors, many just blue and green. They change to the light conditions like how eyes would glow in the dark. There are billions of strands in the eyes mixed with the blue and green tissue and since the green is darker and more of it than blue its visible in the dark. Even in the light you can see the green but the blue would be brighter and more visible so it can be hard to notice. Thor's case the eyes are just as unique as his personality.[/justify][/blockquote]

{birth .[/font]
F A M I L Y . H I S T O R Y
Thor was born in one of the Nordic Countries, the Norway. He lived in the capital city there with his mother, Aunia and his masters are Hakon Adolf the Fourth, and his son Jacob Adolf. The Adolf family is one the richest people in Europe and one of the original bloodlines of Norwegian. Unlike some families, they didn't lose their heritage, instead the marveled in it, they made sure their first language is Norwegian and treasured all the books their family had gathered or made through generations. Adolf isn't a Norwegian name since near the end of World War 1, 1918 the Christen family - their original name - had only one daughter in their royal family. She was forced into an arranged marriage with a general in Norway so the family could benefit. By benefit, we mean by dodging most of the taxes and gaining more reputation by marrying Erling Adolf who is quite famous for his help in the war. Anyway, the Adolf family always did their best in filling that gap by keeping all their family treasures like the books, artifacts and paintings as well as the money.
Now here is how Thor comes in. See one of those main family treasures is this one dog. They treasure the Norwegian Elkhounds and for centuries, the family had kept a Black Norwegian Elkhound in their family by getting them to breed with the healthiest and strongest of black norwegian elkhounds. Therefore, they keep about twenty of them. The Adolf family uses these dogs for watchdogs and even for hunting since the family gets hunters to catch their food sometimes. The dogs always live in huge cages, often trained for hunts, and put on watches at night. One dog leads all those dogs and that dog is the one the Norwegian family keeps at their sides than the rest. The one they breed and keep the healthiest and strongest of these pups and at their side. Which means the dog doesn't sleep in the cage like the rest, can go anywhere in the estates without being told, sits beside his or her master during meetings and sleep on the bed with.
Why I just told you all that is because that chief dog is Thor's family, his bloodline. He was born for the arrangement of two families the Adolf family and the Ester Family. Aunia was mated with their loyal and top dog that's also a black norwegian elkhound as they too father them. Thor's father is Thomas the Seventh. Why a dog of another family instead of the dogs they have is because Aunia met and fell in love with Thomas who also comes with his master for Company meetings. The two families both favor these two dogs for centuries and since the two knew each other that they had arranged Jacob to marry Elizabeth - the Ester Family's youngest daughter - when they were old enough. They recently found out how much Thomas and Aunia loved each other and signed a deal for those two to also marry. Like I said they favor these dogs, those two far more and treat them like they are their equals. Plus they did the deal to put their two Companies together and signed it by their dogs rather than their children since they are only around nine or ten years old.
So Thor was born, the only pup of two. Nearly two months later Jacob became ten years old and family tradition say that when their children reach ten years old they choose one of the pups of their family dog. After they choose the dog the ones that haven't been picked would go to the cages when they reach the right age. This was just when Thor was a newborn and Jacob chose him above his brother Adam.
{first year .[/font]
T H I R D . M O N T H
Now here we are to the point when he got his mythophobia. It all started during Jacob's party. All his friends stayed slept over that night and they played games and that in Jacob's huge room. One boy told them a super scary story and Jacob's other friends were in on it to scare Jacob. Thor was right beside Jacob, listening to the horror story. Thor was a bit freaked out about it since it was his first horror story, it was a time where Thor loved fantasy. The boys put on their masks silently and scared Jacob and Thor really bad, Thor the most. After they did it, Thor was in total shock and it took a long time for him to recover. He was never truly the same after that since he couldn't forget those horrible faces, how he thought the story was real and the monsters really were going to get him. That is why he will not ever believe in those kind of stories again.F O U R T H - N I N E T H . M O N T H
Thor had a typical life, well if you call learning in numerous lessons and sitting by Jacob, his best friend through tutor lessons, hanging around the vast gardens. The gardens are always one of Thor's favorite places. It was also, where Jacob and him would play together. Thor remembered one time Elizabeth and her family visited them and the two children walked together to get to know each other since the two families thought it would be best for the two to know as much of each other as possible. Elizabeth brought Toki, a female black norwegian elkhound. Toki was chosen amongst the many dogs the Esters had since none of their complete royal dogs had any pups and decided it was alright since Elizabeth is the youngest of five children. Toki and Thor befriended one another at once and the two families thought it very interesting. So the two families also arranged those two to be married when the time would be right.T E N T H . M O N T H
He and Toki had no problem with it, neither did Elizabeth and Jacob. To be honest Jacob and Elizabeth both were quite nervous at the beginning, they thought that they would disappoint their families if they weren't able to bond. However, when Toki and Thor bonded quite quickly the tension vanished. When Thor became ten months old, the Adolf family went to the docking city in a business. Hakon wanted to teach his son and bring him to a real meeting since Jacob would one day take over the company just as they have done for generations. It was at night when they arrived at the hotel. They were alone in the street since it was four am in the morning. He heard noises and a nearly broken down car got a shot. It scared Thor badly and he just dashed off away from his family. His mother went after him but couldn't keep up with him. Thor ended up in a supply ship where he got knocked out and shipped to the US.
When Thor arrived in the US he was baffled by the world and all the differences of his old home. For one the different languages and different accents. Thor very much missed his old home and hated the ship he was trapped in the whole ride across the ocean. He tried to get back home but couldn't and for a few weeks he finally realized he would never see his family again and that this is his life now. So Thor worked hard to hunt, following his instincts and learning English. He quickly adapted to everything instead of wallowing in grief.
{second year .[/font]
F I R S T - S E C O N D . M O N T H
In one of Thor's travels he came across a city overrun by dogs. Cascaro City was failing of human population and several packs have been made. Thor who didn't want to live the solitary life as a stray decided he would join one of these packs. There were three, Taryn Pack, Kekoa Pack and Fahim Pack. He chose Fahim for more than one reason. One, Taryn Pack main territory is in a graveyard and ominous places. Two, Fahim Pack's main territory was at a mansion similar to his old home. However, the conflicts in the city served too great for him and he couldn't stand to be with Dinah. She is a dog who joined Fahim before him and who he fell for but he just couldn't stand that she would never feel for him the way he felt for her. So he decided he would leave and keep traveling till he could find another place he could call home.
