Character #1 - Thor

Thor is the god of thunder and lightning and he exists at the university where I work. The first sighting of Thor dates back approximately a year ago, when I first saw him shuffling his way across campus. He looks like this:

Only instead of impressive abs he has a beer belly and is badly dressed because he is a college undergrad. At first, the sight of Thor was enough to make me giggle and sigh, because his swagger plainly states he does not care what others think of his appearance. He may have a belly and sloping shoulders, but he walks as proudly as if he had Thor’s war-hammer with +80 awesome factor. He is just that confident. You would be too, if you had the power to throw storms and lightning bolts.

Then came the day my heart was shattered, when I saw Thor light up a cigarette and puff away. It was further shattered when he cut his hair, let it grow back long enough to put into a ponytail, and now I see him walking around with no shoes on. That’s right, barefoot in a public place. Thor turned out to be a dirty hippie and I died a little on the inside when I found out.
