Setting: Wiki on the Movie
The setting itself is a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Humanity lives in wastelands, caves, or underground cities in order to escape a murderous robotic regime. Cities are run entirely by machines, and patrolled ruthlessly. People have been forced to become nomads. To carry what little they can and always be on the move, hunting and scavenging and sticking to tunnels and abandoned buildings for shelter from the robot patrols. Any use of technology is monitored by Ultron, and upon the activation of said technology, robots are dispatched to destroy the human infection found there. The only exception to this rule is the home the children of the Avengers grew up in, seeing as Tony always knew how to find the little loopholes in his own programming.

History:
Sixteen years ago, in the realm of Asgard, Torunn was born to Thor Odinson and Lady Sif. But once she neared the age of four, she was taken to Earth. Though we don't really find out until the end of the movie, this is because Thor wished for his daughter to grow up learning what he learned the hard way. Compassion, patience, humanity. He did not want the same things to happen to her as they did to him. And unfortunately, this meant leaving her there until she learned on her own.

But by the time she reached the age of four, Thor basically dicked off back to Asgard, leaving the Avengers to fight a battle against a robot-gone-overlord (thanks Tony Stark). A battle that killed off all the Avengers, but Iron Man, who, by wish of their parents, took the children and hid them away from Ultron, so that they would one day be able to defeat him and reclaim humanity. See, the Avengers each found love and had bouncing baby bumpkins of their own.
Captain America and Black Widow had James Rogers. Giant Man and The Wasp had Henry 'Pym' Jr.  Black Panther and Storm (of X-Men) had Azari.  And Thor and Lady Sif had Torunn.

There was also Francis Barton, the son of Hawkeye and Mockingbird, though he was thought to be caught and killed when the Avengers died, as Tony was unable to get to him in time. But that's another story.

So for twelve years, Torunn was brought up with her brothers (James, Pym and Azari) by Tony and his female AI (Jocasta) in a hidden base, presumably in the far reaches of the North. They were brought up on stories of their parents, of the Avengers (though they were called code-names: Iron Man became The Knight, Captain America = The Soldier, Black Widow = The Spy, etc), trained and protected for their entire lives. Only James and Torunn were old enough to vaguely remember the events of what happened when Ultron attacked and killed the Avengers (though Thor is still alive, just gone).

During a normal day of relaxing, training and admitted goofing around, (a rather violent game of 'tag'), 'The Ghost', otherwise known as Vision (one of the Avengers, and the one of the only surviving members) shows up, setting off alarms within the compound. While Tony tells the children to stay in their rooms and wait... Well lets be honest, they're the children of the Avengers. Of course they're not going to listen.

Unfortunately their sneaking around to see what's going on leaves Torunn and James to discover robot replicas of their parents, hidden away in Tony's secret lab/base. Which James accidentally activates in the hopes of getting a reaction out of his 'father'. The Iron Avengers immediately set off to seek out and battle Ultron as they are programmed to do. ...Except they're defeated almost immediately by Ultron's worldwide sensors. He reprograms them to follow him and turns them 'back to base' to find where Tony and the children have been hiding all these years.

Tony attempts to send the kids away to safety, but not before saving them, revealing to them that he is The Knight; Iron Man. Something they never really expected. He is able to stall enough to let the kids escape with a promise of catching them up. Of course they don't believe him, and once Vision's battery runs out, they hi-jack the jet they're on and head straight for Ultra City (previously New York) to save Tony from the evil overlord.

Not an easy task, unfortunately. For Torunn, she busts in guns blazing. She has always thought herself invicible, a deity. Why wouldn't she be? This is not true, however, and she ends up losing her sword in the battle, leaving her emotionally wounded. It ends with the five young Avengers being rescued by Francis Barton, the new Hawkeye. They eventually team up with him in the hopes of rescuing their guardian.

And they suceed! Sneaking into the heart of Ultron's citadel, which is quite obviously a trap... But they manage to escape, with Betty Ross in tow (one of the human refugees in the city) who is hopefully going to be their trump card in getting Bruce Banner, The Hulk to help them. Which turns out to be a task in itself considering the man is a terrified tweaker by now, and refuses to help them at all.

So James comes up with a plan of starting up the ultron-stolen-ship without Tony's protection protocals on it, to bring the baddies to them, since both Tony and Bruce think it's a bad idea to let the kids go out and defeat Ultron on their own just yet. Torunn however, initially doesn't want to fight. She doesn't think she can. Her ego and sense of value has been crushed. She was defeated so easily, lost her sword, and when having called out to her Father for help, was left in despair with no answer from the God of Thunder.

He does however, answer her pleas when she secludes herself, begging him to show her a sign that he is still there, still watching over her. He returns her sword to her in a burst of lighting, and it is all the boost she needs to pick herself back up and get back in the fight plans. She returns to her brothers, and joins the fight.

Each child stands off against their Iron Avenger parent. Torunn, as the others do, defeats the Ironized version of Thor. When Ultron finally appears, the Hulk shows up in the nick of time to beat the ever living screws out of the robot, leaving him in tattered pieces by the end of it.

Unfortunately, as Tony says, that if left long enough, Ultron will simply rebuild himself, as they can see he's already doing. Torunn, immediately seeing no other option to keep both her brothers and humanity safe, takes it upon herself to grab the robot remains, and fly them up into space... and toss them as far away as possible, ignoring James' cries for her to not do just that.

But of course, once she passes the atmosphere, it's only so long before she succumbs to the lack of oxygen in space, and drifts unconsciousness. However, when all seems lost, she wakes again, cradled in the arms of her Father, Thor. Of course, Torunn is brought to tears at finally being reunited with her him, with the choice to return home. After finally having learned what self sacrifice was, what it meant to care for others, for humanity, so much that she would be willing to give her life for them... It's basically a big Hercules moment.

But Torunn, thankful as she is, states that her family is on Earth, with James, Pym, Azari and Tony. She wants to stay on Earth, and with her father's blessing, she is returned to the realm of Midgard, donning completely new armor (previously silver, now gold, dashing cape included), and to an overjoyed family. They are all beyond extatic to see her alive and well and back.

~This is where I will be taking Torunn from. She has recieved the new armor, seen her father, but has yet to return to Earth.~

Personality:
Like the other main character of this movie, Torunn has a myriad of Daddy issues. Issues that, for a large portion of her entire self, define her. Unlike James however, she doesn't hold bitterness towards the Asgardian, nor does she find herself trying to fully live up to his status. He is the God of Thunder. She is most certainly not. There may also be the fact, that out of all the children, Torunn is the only one who's parent(s, possibly) is still alive. A grave may be placed for Thor with the others, but he has simply locked himself away in Asgard, presumably as the All-Father.

For a majority of the story, Torunn's ego is as big as Asgard itself. She is Asgardian, and as such, must certainly behave, fight, and be a certain way. She tries, despite her Earth-bound upbringing, to act like it, constantly using old speech, attempting to keep from stooping to human insults (though that rarely seems to work when James is involved).  

Torunn places a lot of faith in her father, when it comes down to it. She may act the tough, undeterred goddess that she should be (and would be, had she been brought up on Asgard), but when push comes to shove, she is just as sensitive as any other child. She has fears, both for herself, and for her surrogate family there on Earth; Tony, her brothers, Pym, Azari, James. She may put on a tough face for a while, but she isn't afraid to cry or get upset when it comes down to it, either. She might not openly talk about her feelings to everyone, but she doesn't bottle them up either. If confronted about them by someone she trusts, there isn't much hesitation there for her to keep her thoughts to herself.

There is a huge sense of care and love in Torunn for her family. Be it her father in Asgard, or her adoptive Father, Tony, and her brothers. They are all she's known for nearly twelve years. Like James were the only ones old enough to really remember anything of their parents. Of before. Torunn may have been born on Asgard, and may very well have lived there for a year or two, but it was Earth that Thor sent her to live while he dealt with his own realm. But she wasn't abandoned there, and Torunn never (except one crucial moment, which is nullified soon enough) believes that. Thor put her on Earth to grow and learn as she should, how to love, how to be human. Something that he had to learn the hard way.

Thor might be her biological father, but Tony Stark is certainly someone she wouldn't hesitate calling 'dad', either. Even if she does tend to stick to 'Tony'. He raised her, taught her the stories of her parents, of the Avengers, of what they would one day grow up to do; defeat Ultron. And despite a bit of cockiness and argumentativeness with her brothers, she turned out pretty well for being raised by Tony Stark.

Torunn is very much a follower. However much she tends to not follow. She's boneheaded, stubborn and brash, jumping into things without really stopping to think about them. And this does prove to get her into trouble more often than not. She isn't stupid, it's simply her ego that pushes her on. All she's ever known, is a goddess versus three super-powered humans. It's likely she didn't lose a lot of training excersizes while growing up. She considers herself invicible. A god. She isn't, of course, but that doesn't stop her from thinking such, even after her embarrassing defeat. It's this very same ego that keeps her going in the end.

She doesn't have any issue doing the dirty jobs, doing things that others can't. Be it manual labor or taking a hit for someone else... But she doesn't have a problem following orders, either. Unless it seems completely idiodic and against her morality, she'll probably listen.

She is surprisingly rational outside of the battlefield, too, usually being the voice of reason and mediation to arguments outside of her own. There are hints of maternal instinct in her when it comes to her brothers, but she tends to take up the eldest's responsibility more than anything else.

For being raised with a bunch of boys for twelve years, it's not all that surprising to see her flustering like a school girl at the first sight of another boy flirting with her. Her entire demeanor changes. She turns shy, blushes, quiet, even a little nervous when Francis calls her beautiful. Of course, her true nature would doubtedly stay hidden for long, even in something as new and unknown as ~relationships~ and ~feelings~.

Abilities, Weaknesses and Power Limitations:
Torrun is a full blooded Asgardian. She is also the daughter of Thor, the God of Thunder. This leaves her with quite a few abilities, as she is essentially a goddess. A young, rather inexperienced goddess, but she's getting there.
+Flight+ She can fly, she can fly, she can fly! With or without her sword, (as Thor in most verses tends to be shown flying via Mjolnir) though she does prefer to walk in almost any case. She uses flight as quick transportation; getting somewhere fast, catching someone in mid-air and the like.

+Super Strength+ This will be nixed to a degree. She has the ability to lift up to three (and likely more) human beings, and fly with them. Granted, these humans tend to be young teens, but this is likely because of her age. She is still growing, both in age, maturity and strength.

+Electrokinesis+ Well, she is the daughter of the God of Thunder. She in no way has the same control as Thor himself, but she can create small bolts of lightning, manipulate the skies into turning stormy, and summon electricity to her sword to use within a fight. However, she doesn't turn to this power that often, preferring to use her own strength than relying on the power of nature to do her bidding. Also, as shown in the movie, she is able to absorb electricity, and is more or less immune to general level effects (excluding direct attacks).

+Asgardian Sword+ Though unnamed, (unlike Thor's Hammer; Mjolnir) it is treated much the same. It seems to have the same blessing of worthiness as well, meaning anyone worthy enough, may wield it. So far, only Torunn and Thor have been shown to have any sort of control over it. Torunn is able to summon it to her from any distance, though this may depend on her belief in herself (considering she loses it at one point and is seemingly unable to call it to her again). It's also possible she was unaware of the ability to recall it. It acts much like Thor's Hammer; a conductor of electricity, as well as a weapon. If at all possible, I would like her to keep this, even if it simply becomes a sword only she can weild/pick up. Torunn considers her sword an extension of herself.

+Durability+ While she isn't as 'invicible' as she previously thought, she is however, still pretty damn sturdy. Coming out with only a few cuts and bruises (more of a crushed ego, than anything) after being stomped on by an Ironized version of Giant Man? Yeah, pretty durable. She can withstand bullets, a generally small paraphernalia of shots taken to her, be it lasers or metal weapons. She isn't indestructable though, and this will be toned down in-game. Bullets will penetrate, but not cause as much damage as it would to human flesh.

+Attitude- Like most teenagers, Torunn can be just as haughty, brattish and argumentative as the rest of them. She does, however, have a fairly strong sense of 'bowing to the leader', if deserved. She listens when Tony tells them something, but doesn't have much of a problem going against it if her morals strike up strongly enough. Her biggest issue however, is probably how she holds her own self worth. Unlike James, she is more than willing to live up to her Asgardian heritage, never running from a fight (usually ending up dragged away, if necessary), wholly entitled to consider herself just a little above the human species. Never cruelly, however. She loves her human (or mostly human) family on Earth, and generally only uses the 'Asgardian' card if she doesn't want to do something.

Unfortunately, just like her father, Torunn is very headstrong. She will charge into a situation with or without a plan, guns blazing. However, considering her extreme lack of field training, this tends to get her into more trouble than good. She isn't very skilled at picking her battles. While she might throw her heart and everything into something, it doesn't mean it's the smartest tactic. Brute strength is her niche.

-Ego- This is Torunn's biggest fault. Despite her deity status (technically), she has never been trained on Asgard, nor has she ever spent time with the gods and godesses who dwell there. She has grown up with stories, however. Stories of her father, Thor, of his battles and victories, of Asgard itself, dreams and hazy memories of a home long gone. For a good portion of the movie, Torunn is shown believing herself something of an untouchable. She is a goddess. Why shouldn't she be? This, unfortunately, gets her into trouble. She is the first one down for the count when the kids finally arrive in Ultra City, and because of this, she is progessively more and more put-out the entire film, believing herself to be nothing but a lie.

This is resolved later on, by a few very encouraging words from her brother James. They are all in it together, and her inflated ego has finally seemed to even out. At least as much as an Asgardian ego can.

Inventory: Her Asgardian Sword, which is much like Thor's Hammer, both in abilities and weilding. I would very much like for her to keep it, even if all it's powers (sans the 'worthiness of the holder') is nixed. And perhaps her new laurel/winged helmet, similar to that of Thor's. It has no powers, but is very significant to her.

Appearance:



A bit on the tall side for her age, or at least out of her rag-tag family, probably about 5'2-3. Like her father, she has sun-colored blonde hair, bright blue eyes and very strong features. A bit on the bulky/muscular size for a girl her age, but proportionate. Her hair is just below waist length, tied into loose ponytails below her chin.

She always holds herself upright, never slouching or never dragging her feet. Everything about her excudes pride.

Age: 16

Log Sample:
Despite the church in her stomach, there was no stopping the girl from getting to the nearest door, dripping in goo or not. It didn't matter that she was buck naked, slimy and topped off with the dizziest vision she could ever remember having. This wasn't natural.

Then again, waking up in a gel filled pod on what looked to be a ship in the middle of space... That wasn't exactly the most normal thing, either. Surely she couldn't have just been dreaming? She remembered tossing Ultron's robotic remains to the non-existant wind and ... everything going black. But she'd woken up in the arms of her father, caught upon the bifrost with Asgard in their sights. She'd been granted the ability to come home again. And yet she'd opened her eyes to some sort of ship, trapped and choking on some sort of tube that was pulling itself out of her throat and--
She shuddered at the recent memory of it. No, she couldn't have dreamt it. Something else had happened. Something had gone wrong. She doesn't know what, but it was something. Something she was going to get to the bottom of.

Even if that meant ceasing her pondering over the strange trio of numbers on her arm; those hadn't been there before.
"Someone I know better be on this hunk of metal." She growled to herself, giving a quick glance to what she assumed were the showers just off to the left. A quick rinse and she could find some clothes- and then find a way out, even if that meant suffocating back in space. She would figure this out.

Comms Sample:
[There's a short clearing of throat before the camera flicks on. No sense of 'what is this' or 'how does it work'- But there does seem to be a rather annoyed looking sixteen year old on the other end. One with bright blue eyes, a rather strong jaw and what looks like a .. short sword braced against her shoulder.]

I have found this place to be ... Not where I intended to end up. [Wait no, that sounds funny. She sighs.]

Alright, look. I am really not where I should be. There is no concievable way for the Bifrost to send me to the wrong realm, nor can I be caught in some sort of ... [Whatever that was. Holding cell. Pod. It was disgusting. She hadn't blacked out for that long. ...Maybe she'd dreamt meeting her father?]

In any case. If I am in fact where I should be, then- James, Pym, Azari. Where are you? Tony, you may have an easier time reaching me than the others, so please. If you can, contact me.

For anyone else; I am Torunn. Torunn Thorsdottir of Asgard. And I am not. Happy.

[Whatever this place was- let's be honest, she didn't read the pamphlet or instructions or anything. One shining moment of clarity won't make up for a good dozen years of habit. Not overnight, at least.]
