Thor the Mighty, Odinson, The Mighty Thor, these are just some of the names given to the Norse god of thunder. His entry and that of many of earth's deities is intended to flesh out faiths within the Galaxy Five game and priests of the each faith will have their own edicts to which they subscribe. I hope it will be fun for all ages.
This of course is an updated version of my original Thor who for me looked a bit...like a dandy and i need my God of Thunder to taken seriously. |

| Thunderbolt vs Bloodstreak

| Bloodstreak is a merciless assassin and former mercenary. Her combat skills are only surpassed by her super powers which at one time allowed her to run at mach-plus speeds. After a contract with the villain known as Dominion her powers were enhanced to make her nearly the equal of Thunderbolt in speed alone. Additionally she has the power to leave viscous trails of crimson red. The material at first seems to be blood but is n fact a form of grease. Bloodstreak also has the ability to absorb kinetic energy which she can release on contact, this power when combined with her superspeed means she is constantly charged with kinetic energy. |

| Also called the Thunderer, Odinson, and God of Thunder, Thor is one of the Norse Gods of Asgard. Like all Norse gods he is immortal and quite powerful, unlike other deities, Thor is very pre-occupied with the affairs of Midgard (Earth) and the lives of mortals in general. Asgard is home to the Norse gods and is only reachable via the Rainbow bridge Bifrost Thor has two goats, Tangrisner and Tangjost (Tooth Gnasher and Tooth Grinder respectively) who pull his magical chariot. Asgard itself is adjacent to Midgard, Alfheim, and Valhalla, the hope of an afterlife for all those who follow the Norse faith. Thor is known for his incredible strength (surpassed only by his son Magni) which is due to his Magical belt Meginjord,which doubles his already considerable strength and allows him to lift his mighty hammer Mjolnir. The warhammer was created by dwarves who accidentally broke the handle, however, Thor liked the feel and asked them not to fix it. Thor requires a pair of gauntlets Jarngreipr in order to protect his hands from burns when the hammer returns to his hand which the gauntlets enable him to do. His staff Gridarvolr was a gift from Grior the Jotunn which when combined with his gauntlets saved his life. Thor has full control over storms and more specifically lightning and no lightning, natural or magical, can harm him. Thor is fond of drinking and may be encountered in a bar or tavern acting rather raucously. He is quite the chauvinist and womanizer, and is also quite short tempered. While he is known for his sense of honor and great strength he is also known to be a bit dim and quite gullible. |

I was sitting down watching "How to train your dragon 2" when it hit me that I could have a world like that within my 5 galaxies...so Lo...And BEHOLD!
The Dragon world, where every conceivable dragon within the 5 galaxies can all be found on one world. The Dragon Masters have tamed nearly all of them (or at least enough to ride) Dragon hunting is illegal except with a license (for population control) the People of this world fight fiercely for their Dragons and have a bond with them not quite the Equal of the that which Legendary Steed Dragons and their riders share. However, it is as close as one can get. Understandably Steed dragons are not found on this world though it seems all others are. |

| It is rare that I make scenery images. I'm usually buried in characters and what not, but every now and then I reach a point where I make significant breakthroughs. Breakthroughs which take my artistic ability to the next level...this image is one such breakthrough as I couldn't myself, tell where the 3d ended and the backdrop began. Hopefully you won't either as the techniques I am now perfecting take my comics and my art in general to a whole new level of quality...the changes have been so few but they are significant. This forest is a perfect example. I hope you like it as much I do and enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoyed creating it |

I finally get some semblance of control over my "Divine Form" and begin looking more like myself, yeah like myself if I had a baby with a spider. Sheesh. The hardest part about all this divinity stuff is all the extra BS you have to get used to, you know like 5 pairs of eyes...that actually work...3 days of vertigo was the price for that one but in combat it's kind of a plus since no one can sneak up behind me, or to the left, right, above etc etc. In any case I get things as close to normal as I can and I've been assured that my emotional rages will subside after a while (probably after I eat someone or something close). The black Mantis has had his crew hard at work redesigning the Lillun to the point that we re-designated her the Lillun-A. Her weapons are upgraded with Phase modified, variable frequency cannons with instalock, meaning "Shields? Fuck your shields." they go right through shields that aren't in phase, and most aren't. We can now move through hyperspace as well as Space-fold and FTL. Honestly I thought Space-fold and hyperspace were the same thing but apparently they're not, one opens a portal across space and time allowing instantaneous travel, and the other is a short cut through space and time...same principal way different execution, and until recently we had no need for hyper-drives. The ship is immensely larger, by at least 30 percent and is now a light cruiser class with the firepower of a full blown battle cruiser. The bridge and all major systems got a complete overhaul, and I got new quarters, a new office, and an XO's office...never needed one of those before but Harley is welcome to it.
I would say we are more than prepared for whatever Nechronos throws at us.
A bout mid afternoon I get a call from my clan, but it's not Master Takashi, it's some Oni Jonin named Maeko, who informs me that Master Takashi was found dead in his home, apparently murdered.
"As of now Obsidian Mask I am leading our clan and I we have yet to hear from you regarding your Chunin's marriage."
Up till this point I have been reluctant to accept my divine appointment but this bitch is, being kinda pushy and I don't like her tone...So.
My image on her monitor vanishes suddenly, and she becomes Irate.
"Obsidian! Do not walk away while I am speaking! You are bound to this clan and to it's leaders, I will not..."
"Will not what...Mortal?"
My countenance is frightening when I wish it, and right this moment I do. She may be an assassin but she is still mortal and I can generate fear, the shadows in the room seem to darken, an ominous red glow takes the place of whatever light remains...and those spider legs and ten eyes will really put you off your game...they're just unsettling.
"I-I-I What is this? What trickery?"
"No trickery mortal, a god was slain and that god's power is now mine. This I would say seriously alters the dynamic of our...relationship, don't you think? Therefore the next time you speak to me in such a disrespectful manner, will be the last time you speak....at all. Am I making myself perfectly clear?"
"My lord I had no idea, please forgive my ignorance I meant no disrespect."
"Of course not, in any case the two chunin are to be wed. However, the time is at my discretion, until then I will keep you apprised of any changes. As for the clan, does anyone know what happened to Takashi?"
"It was an assassin, and a good one. at first we suspected you since he left all the same tell tale signs you are known for, but our contacts assured us you were in the company of...him."
They don't speak the Black Mantis's name, superstitions that he may come for them, and apparently on at least one occasion he did. I digress, the murder sounds like the work of my clone, I'll send you the details. Good day Jonin."
Now things are really getting interesting. Why would my clone kill Takashi? That doesn't make any sense. I shadow slide back to the Lillun and prepare to get underway, we have at least three leads and I intend to follow up on them all including Takashi's assassination. |

Following She-Ra is not an easy task. Most folks don't know it but those super strong types can propel themselves through water pretty quickly. I'm making good time but I'm still behind her...even with Aquatic Impulse drives. I happen upon a cave in the reefs and I happen to catch the glow of some kind of light...I hope this isn't one of those bad things I'm always running into but this place almost guarantees I'm gonna run into something horrible...Ah well, time to fall into the trap and see what's in there.
On a side note: My underwater images are getting much better...not really a steep learning curve though. |

| I did this picture a few months back but some things about it bugged me... The Camera angle, Lighting and the wolves. The wolves I used were low poly poser pro BS. But today while going through my inventory I discovered I had the AM Wolf...with fur. I wanted a fur effect and tried to do one on my own to no avail... Then I saw these and I was like WOW! I knew what I had to do so I reshot the image and I hope you like the new version as much as I do. BTW Keep an eye for new posts of Old characters... Lots of updates coming. |

I have tracked her here, but, she is crafty and she has magic to hide her presence from me. No matter, she will not evade my newest addition, assuming he takes this job. There's a lot of bad blood between us, especially after I tried to get my daughter to seduce him...heh, it was fun to watch though. He's such a sap. Always the victim, but never crying foul. As if being that way will balance out things in his favor somehow. The fates have been cruel to that one, constantly stealing what little happiness he can scrape together. You'd think he'd be easy pickings for me, I can offer him everything but for some reason he wants to earn it..It's nopt like he'd be my lave but then again maybe that's not how he sees it. Oh well, I better find out what he needs most so I can have some leverage...hmm.
I can't believe I was so stupid, how could I have ignored the signs, the spells went off just as they should and every warning was there, one lone woman comes in and steals my greatest trophy. Not just any trophy but the head of my greatest foe...Should she somehow figure out how to remove it from it's infinitium casing I and mine will have our hands full. Parata was no laughing matter when he was alive and his return will be no laughing matter should he return. Obsidian and the others defeated him before through deception, despite how much more powerful he was than them. They are the unknown element...still. I'm hoping maybe Obsidian can recover Parata's head and save everyone from a clash of cosmic proportions.
It never fails to amaze me how every great once in a while there comes a mortal who can dupe even the most powerful and wise if divine beings, and while Obsidian may be immortal, Maybe his lack of divine status, and lack of arrogance will give him the edge he needs to find this girl and save everyone I find it funny and just a bit ironic that it is what he lacks that will aid him most. I'll have to reward him well if he pulls this off. |

Let me know what you think and remember whenever possible there is little to NO post work. This is image is NO exception. postwork here is darkened edges for dramatic effect and to draw the eye to the center. |

| Having given the Lillun to Harley and given up the Drake to the Black Mantis I have acquired a new ship, considerably smaller than my previous vessels and without much of the wonderful magic and technology as previous ships before. The worst part is the lack of 4-d technology which made things a lot easier. However, Harley has given me access to the Lillun and I've been able to equip this little warship with all the systems, weapons and defenses that she has available and with my sword's magic I have been able to put back some of the protection spells as before still this tiny little ship is seriously cramped compared to what I'm used to and no matter how good the systems are they can only do so much thanks to the singularity drive. But it's mine free and clear and she is pretty and fast,,,designed to specs with cash money...no questions asked Ha ha dealers love it when they can get the whole lump sum up front and they throw in lots of extras too. |

| When designing a bridge I usually start with a Trekkie type design. Captain center of everyone and navigation in a forward position all the other stations can be wherever although I like the idea of having tactical behind the captain's chair. But this one was a little different. I had to add elements of an Egyptian culture and still keep it sci-fi. Some Stargate props sure helped out and make for great aesthetics. |

"Okay Ray, look like it’s you and me this time.”
“Finally, some action.”
We EMT to the coordinates and in an instant we’re surrounded...it's an ambush. Four guys in power armor with really nasty looking blades. They’re techno-ninjas Sporting Tiger badges from the very well know Osaka clan. Their blue skin and solid black eyes give them away as Oni. These guys are gonna kick our ass if we’re not careful.
"We have been ordered to deliver a message. Stop your investigation at once."
“Let’s say we do that, then what?”
“You will be allowed to live.”
This cocky bastard is certain he can beat us, and he’s probably right.
“Can we get back to you?”
“No. Your presence in this matter is….”
His words trail off as I start scanning; I put my helmet in silent mode so only Ray can hear me. We've both come to the same conclusion. These dudes can do some damage to us if they go hand to hand....and they're gonna. We both take out our Blades and fire em up. They stop talking, and give us their undivided attention. They're hesitant, they think we might be Psi-Mages or worse yet Psi-Hunters. Now they're not so sure they want this fight, but that's the way we want it. They're off their square and we pounce! Ray deflects the first guy’s sword and runs him through with his own blade. I catch the blade poking out of his back in my peripherals. Ooh that's gotta hurt. One of them kicks me square if the chin, my fault for not paying attention, I'm lucky it didn’t get me killed. The armor does its job and I don't really feel it. I grab his leg and repay the asshole with a kinetically charged gauntlet to the nuts. He goes down like ton of bricks. Ray starts dancing with the third guy, and number four is smart enough to wait and size me up instead of rushing in. When this began they thought we were just dumb thugs with armor, now they know better.

The Sentinels are a group of heroes who were established purely by accident. They are some of the most powerful heroes in the five galaxies and consist of the heroes:
Spectre mistress of fear, Sentry a Galactic sentinel with powered armor and above the law status throughout the IGFW systems. Red Eagle master detective, The Guardian the last of the Nerari and powerful enough to move a planet out of it's orbit. Paragon the heroic powerhouse whose strength is surpassed only by the hero Infinity-Man, and Phoenix the cosmic powered hero whose fiery powers are as yet not fully realized. All of these heroes can fly...all are registered...and all of them are fully supported by authorities on all IGFW worlds. More on these individuals to come in their independent entries. |

Former Professional Thief turned Hero The Scarlet Bow is an outstanding member of The Scions of Justice. Her skill with ranged weapons is not due to simple skill but to her powers as a Gen-An (genetic Aberration) which allow her to see at phenomenal distances and have increased her manual dexterity to superhuman levels. She utilizes a variety of trick arrows as well as trick bullets for her Hand crossbow. The weapon itself is a combination of both automatic pistol and Crossbow. Her method of transport is her famous Skycycle which is a refitted Police Heavy Skybike. Her costume is made of highly durable Titano-weave and Dura-leather composite and is incredibly sturdy and resistant to most conventional weapons.
The Scarlet Bow was a gang member when she was a teenager and maintains ties with the criminal elements on the streets. She is a highly skill martial artist having received training from Panterra himself her Gen-Ab powers enable her to learn incredibly quickly any movement she sees an ability she uses well. |

The central database on Namae 4 directs me to a desert region on a remote colony and indicates that a lone mage is the foremost expert ie sage, on vortex phenomenon. We make a bee line to a group of pyramids where stands a temple dedicated to the gods of light. Outside hovering ominously is a small spaceship created and sustained entirely by magic. I love those but in a dead zone they're done and you're probably gonna plummet to your death. As Aini and I approach the temple we are greeted by a man named Gygas. he opens his arms and greets us with open arms and a smile.
"Welcome my friends!"
"Um have we met?"
"No no my friend, but I am happy to see anyone in this remote location and I've been doing research here alone for months. I assume since you're armed to the teeth and haven't removed any of your weapons from their holster that you must be a friend yes?"
Can't really argue with that logic so I od and drop the subject.
"Actually um we're here to find the foremost expert in the five galaxies on the subject of.."
"Vortexes?"
"Yes."
"Well you're looking at him, what can I do for you."
"Ghost planet, has developed one."
"I'll pack immediately and meet you there."
"Whoa there pal we are not heading there now and I wasn't offering an open invitation to join us."
"Of course not, but you'll not get the information you need unless I'm there to see this firsthand."
"Fine."
"I'll need to bring my ship it has a lot of specialized magic for this type of research."
"Sir," Aini interjects, "My master will require a complete list of all items before they can be brought on board our ship, including any and all magical items and weapons."
"Your ship? I thought I would be following your vessel here."
He gestures at the Wraith and Aini lets a giggle escape her lips.
No sir this small vessel will be parked in the main shuttlebay of a much larger ship."
"I see very well then is there room for my ship as well?"
"Yes sir, plenty."
We head back to the Sable and in no time Gygas is on board with his sullies and a thorough manifest. Our next stop...The Ghost planet. |
