[CANON] Thor Odinson | Marvel Cinematic Universe | Reserved
While he was certainly not without his good qualities, Thor was an arrogant young man who possessed a great sense of entitlement, thanks to his privileged birth as well as his strength and talent on the battlefield. He openly courted war, relishing in violence and eager to spill the blood of his enemies, paying no mind to the consequences of his actions, made evident when he was so wrapped up in the assault on Jotunheim that he would not initiate a retreat even when his companion, Fandral, was wounded. A brash and impulsive thrill-seeker, Thor preferred to follow the promise of an adrenaline rush rather than adhere to common sense or consider the potential damage his foolhardy actions might cause.
Time and experience, however, have changed Thor. He is no longer the conceited prince he was once; his time spent on earth taught him an appreciation for the mortals and their way of life, humbling him a great deal. While he was never particularly unkind, compassion was something he had been lacking as a boy, buried far beneath his ambition and thirst for glory, which had defined him for most of his life. During the brief time spent with the mortals he befriended in New Mexico, he learned to let that warmth and kindness push ambition to the wayside. Though he was always known for being pleasant, his warmth is now more genuine, and he makes a legitimate effort to be friendly and extend that kindness to the people around him, so long as it’s warranted. He has also developed a more human sense of humor, thanks to his time spent with Jane, Darcy and Erik, and has grown fond of well-meaning sarcasm. Enemies are still treated as such, but he is far more likely to seek an alternative solution to war now than he would have been before his exile to Midgard. Being sent away from his family and torn from his friends in Asgard forced him to appreciate exactly how much he’d had, as well as realize just how much he had unknowingly thrown away all for the sake of pride. He began to appreciate that his way, which he considered to be the straightforward way, was not always the best, and not always most befitting of a king.
Not all of his old ways have been forgotten, however. He is still boastful to a degree, still confident in his abilities and his performance in battle. His confidence is not misplaced; his strength is formidable, and paired with his incredible determination, he is not a man anyone should seek to make an enemy of. He remains incredibly stubborn, often unwilling to move from his position once he has chosen it. He is a strong leader who pursues victory by trusting and depending on his team mates rather than shouting orders as he once did, though his combat prowess has not suffered. His anger is truly something to behold, and he is relentless when it comes time to do battle with his enemies, prepared to fight until he can no longer stand if that’s what it will take to win.
Still, not all enemies are created equal. While Loki and his Chitauri army proved themselves to be formidable foes for the Avengers, Thor was not content to leave his brother behind on Earth once the battle had been brought to an end. Though Loki was considered a dangerous war criminal, Thor insisted that as he was of Asgard, as well as his own brother, Loki would be his responsibility. While he does feel that those of Asgard should be responsible for their own, it’s undeniable that Thor still loves his brother. Even though he has referenced Loki as being “beyond reason,” he still holds out hope that one day, Loki will once again be the brother he remembers. As children, Loki was his closest friend, and the rift that has grown between them pains Thor more than he can say. He longs for a return to the way their lives used to be, when they were princes who were not always at odds, though it’s likely that his view of their life in Asgard is somewhat skewed. As vain as Thor once was, he did not notice how overshadowed and jealous his brother felt, a wrong that he desperately wishes to right. While he does not want to dismiss Loki’s actions and plans to still hold his brother accountable, there is nothing Thor wants more than to make amends and see Loki come back home.

These devices… what magic is this?
[No matter how many of Stark’s gadgets he had seen during the first venture of the Avengers Initiative, there was still a large degree of culture shock to be had. Both of his visits to Midgard had been, by all accounts, incredibly brief.]
This place… I have never seen a realm so desolate! Has some evil driven out those who would call this place their home?
[He had seen some people since leaving the train station, but he felt that for a city of this size, there should have been more. He makes an effort to set aside his questions for the time being. If anyone is out there listening, he might as well make himself known.]
I am Thor Odinson, warrior-prince of Asgard! Tell me, who is king of this realm, and why has he brought me here? I have questions, and I would have them answered at once!
Third Person: At first, he was almost certain that it was a dream, that he had once again fallen asleep after too much wine and imagined this strange train that cut its path through the god. It soon became obvious that this was not the case – if it were, it would have been a frighteningly lucid dream, the seats and railings feeling decidedly solid. His head had finally cleared by the time he reached the station, alone on the platform with no one to question about this strange arrival. He did not remember boarding any train; they did not have such things in Asgard, and Midgard was far behind him.
He saw no one else as he made his way through the station, Mjolnir at his side. Even at its most desolate, it was a mistake to wander into unknown territory unarmed. A warrior of Asgard never let his guard down; you never gave an enemy the chance to get the jump on you if you could help it. He narrowed his eyes curiously as he took in his surroundings, moving slowly through the station and pausing to peer through one of the windows that looked out over the city beyond.
“What in the Nine Realms…” he began, trailing off as he craned his neck to see what lay past the plaza outside. The station no longer held his interest. He was quick to make his way outside into the sunlight, the fog of the train ride now forgotten, his head and vision both clear and no longer clouded with the heavy haze of sleep.
It was like no place he had ever seen before, the architecture nothing like that of Asgard, too civilized to be compared to Jotunheim, and perhaps too antiquated to be compared to Midgard. It was somewhere new entirely.
“Who or what has brought the mighty Thor to this place?!” he asked of no one in particular, his voice projecting as it always did, loud and commanding of attention. Though there was no one to be seen, he still expected some kind of answer. He had always received answers before. Then again, he had always been aware of his visits to other realms before now. This was different. Different meant he would have to exercise caution.
He was prepared to seek out whoever might have been responsible for his being called to this place, but moving brought his attention to a strange weight in his left pocket. He felt around to search for the cause, emerging with a small item that he immediately recognized as a watch – or something close to one, anyway. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it had a series of buttons on it – nothing as complex as the devices Stark and the others had used in Midgard, but reminiscent enough for him to put a name to it.
“Curious,” he mused aloud, frowning as he turned it over in his hands, suspicious. “How could this have been given to me without my noticing?”
Well. All of this certainly warranted further investigation. He would have answers, and he would have them now.
