Full name: Thorik Jayles
Nicknames: Generally goes by Thorik. (Previous usage of the name has shown that people often refer to the character as Thor. I did not intend for this to happen, and in this setting it may be particularly out of place considering it's the name of a Norse god, but feel free if you wish.)
Age: 17
Hair colour: Black
Eye colour: Green
General Appearance: Thorik is slightly taller than average. He is stocky, muscular and somewhat intimidating in his build, although he has a good natured face. He is quite athletic, and is built like a football player. He has shaggy black hair that falls between his ears and shoulders, olive skin, dark green eyes and no other particularly distinguishing characteristics.

Parents: Hephaestus, Nicole Jayles
General History:
Thorik was born to Hephaestus and Nicole Jayles, a widowed woman of Italian decent. He was raised in New York. Whenever Thorik inquired about his father as a boy, his mother pushed the question away, saying that his father had left them during Thorik's infancy. The son of a working mother, Thorik grew up somewhat lonely. That's not to say that he didn't have friends, he was fairly popular, but it's difficult for a boy to grow up without knowing his father. Thorik was quite the athlete during his high school years. He was a lineman on his school's football team, a wrestler, and was often found in the gym lifting weights. His strength and fitness has always been important to him. Thorik was also a fair student, and would have been much better if he hadn't grown up with dyslexia.
Despite having ADHD like many demigods, Thorik grew up to be a very calm, collected, and level headed young man. He is bright and able to analyse situations sensibly. Thorik always had an affinity to mechanics and working with his hands. In his later teens, he often helped his uncle at his garage. He enjoyed taking things apart, figuring out how they worked, and fixing them if they were broken.
Despite generally having a good natured, friendly, and calm attitude, Thorik can have a bit of a hot temper. Although he is rather social, Thorik prefers to be left alone when working, reading, or doing anything else that involves concentration.
Besides mechanics and working with his hands, Thorik enjoys rock music, video games, and good books.
Weapon of Choice: Thorik favors two handed weapons. His favorite weapon is the war hammer, and he is proficient with it. He has begun training with a longsword and shield, although he is rather inexperienced at this point. He also has trained with throwing axes.
Roleplay Sample:
Thorik had been working on a radio he was building. Like many other demigods, he was plagued with ADHD. After about 15 minutes of work, he found his mind wandering. The worst part was that he was almost done. After trying to switch things up by reading for a few minutes, Thorik still found it difficult to concentrate. Unable to continue, Thorik got up angrily, and headed to the training area to work out and practice with his sword. He grabbed it from the rack beside his bed, along with his shield and a few throwing axes. Although he was improving, he still had a ways to go until he could be considered proficient with his sword. After a good 45 minutes of beating up a dummy, he headed back to his cabin. The physical activity seemed to have done him some good, as he was able to finish the radio.
