Thor's origins in the comics: a study

In Avengers 1,000,000 B.C. #1 we have a deeper and confusing insight into Thor’s origins.

Odin and the Phoenix had a relationship (Avengers 2018 #62), they loved each other, he wanted to have a child with her

But, she believed her nature would never allow her to have a baby. So the Phoenix asked Gaea to have the baby instead, to give Odin a chance

Odin and Gaea had an affair and together they made Thor, who was born as a multiversal threat

His birth attracted a lot of unwanted attention, including the Frost Giant King Laufey’s, who launched a vicious assault on Odin and Gaea and baby Thor

With a single blow, the baby was frozen to his very core, seemingly without any hope of salvation

Luckily, the Phoenix heard Gaea's cries and felt Thor's pain. She answered without any hesitation 

With her flames, the first Phoenix breathed new life into the God of Thunder.  She burned the fires of life into Thor to revive him. That’s his rebirth so, still in a way, the Phoenix feels like his Mother in that sense

The Phoenix wanted to be around, to watch the kid grow, but he was a threat to the other realms since he was a baby 😬

Gaea is still Thor's biological mother, the Phoenix thinks of herself as his second mother because she imbued Thor with phoenix fire to save his life which is why he also has that power. When Thor was weaned, Odin took him from Gaea...

...to give him to Frigga/Freya, his wife, the one who Thor calls Mother, the woman who raised him and probably named him, too. But, of course, baby Thor cried because he missed his biological mother, Gaea

And Odin couldn’t handle baby Thor’s thunder anymore, didn’t understand why he cried nor had patience with the baby

more-oc-questions: Which OC claims they’re tough...

OOOH Sindra and Aquila come close? That is so cool or rather warm given the trope.

YESS. This is literally the central theme and the heart of the story... 

Among Aquila’s main relationships Sindra is the most substantial because its at the heart of the story and conflict and its resolution means a change in the world itself (think Madara and Hashirama and the clan conflict in Naruto).

They are the ‘lead characters’ of the main sides of the story and they’re at the center of this and eventually they reach for each other.

Hence the opposite color scheme, theme, personality, etc.. i.e. Aquila is warm and somewhat careless, Sindra is cold and strict, etc... they have a lot to gain from each other and evolve together.

They’re supposed to be the friends to enemies to friends trope we all love so much, plus red oni/blue oni, fire/ice, light/darkness, chaos/order, etc... 

Of course, as years pass by I have created many other important relationship for these two characters, but they were sort of the initial spark and still central to the theme. In fact, Aquila is much older in my head, but she was supposed to have a frienemy from the start and that took the shape of Sindra... so they’re both old AF (at least 14 years old as I've started drawing the outlines during school).

The story was initially just birds vs dragons and very simple, but now I added a third element in the form of humans and its becoming more complicated. Still, basically in the initial we have both axis like this...

Aquila has more or less...

1: Her own phoenix related issues to work with (what means to be a phoenix, dealing with the deity, etc..),

2: Her parents stuff (her father’s disappearance and her mother’s sorrow), Aquila goes on an Horus-like quest to find her dad (they mirror the Egyptian family of deities quite perfectly as in, Aquila: Horus, Damaris: Isis and Suzaku: Osiris/Ra, from there on you guess...

3: Her own quest understanding her ancestor, the Raven Queen and uncovering ancient avian secrets (which eventually leads her to Eltanin and draconians)...

4: Aquila & Altair’s quest involving the true nature of flight (a self discovery quest which messes up with the avian’s own nature, etc.. which will lead eventually to the origin of avians and their ancestors) and also to...

5: The transformation of the avian society and her relationship with the other phoenixes,

6: Her personal quest is one of gaining freedom initially and them sharing it with the world, she’s a catalyst of change. Aquila starts the story as a very naive and even childish person due to her complicated childhood (she basically died and duh) she was kept on a ‘golden cage’ for a long time after becoming a phoenix... because she was in great danger. After she goes out of it we have the start of her arc of self discovery and traveling around the world uncovering its secrets, basically.

Sindra has more or less...

1: Her own issues about being a draconian and her dragon ancestors (Polaris & Ishanur and how she relate to them and her evolving relationship with them, what influences they have on her, etc...), basically Sindra feels conflicted about her nature and rejects her human side due to dragon slayers having killed her parents which leads to... she needs to build a balance and understand it all,

2: Her revenge quest for said parents. They were friends with Aquila’s parents and trying t build a bridge to peace between all races, and they were murdered due to it... so here is a point they get close (Aquila & Sindra, early on)

3: Her sister Nix which she is very protective about, basically she need to learn how to deal with this all and also Nix leads to the next one:

4: Her issues with the human kingdom of Novencia enhances after Nix gets enamored with Procyon,

5: Lyra and the dragonslayers (they want to kill each other) lmao, basically her primary antagonists early on,

6: And least but one of the more important: her relationship with her aunt, Kigaly which is due to explode as soon as she finds out she had a hand on her parents demise....

This is my fault I haven’t given any sensible way for people to guess what the story is about. In fact, I have avoided some central subjects and branched out to more and more concepts, etc... I need to sit down and write what this is all about but I don’t know if I’ll live long enough, at this rate (lmao)

Anyway, this is just the very beginning and the premises I want to work about for these two, but they meet somewhere in the middle. Also, many characters such as Eltanin were designed to have ties to both of them:

1: Eltanin, the main antagonist... loved Raven (Gienah), which was Aquila’s most infamous ancestor (due to being perceived as a traitor by her kind since she joined the draconians eventually and whose story parallels Aquila in her struggles with the phoenix deity and her desire to change the avian society, etc...)

Eltanin is an ancestral figure to Sindra and supposed to be like Madara is to Sasuke (a shadow both in the past and future of their kin). Sindra follow his footsteps somewhat and almost falls to the same themes, so they are mirrored also by their relationship with the dragon Ishanur (a fatherly figure to both of them).

Sindra later on joins Aquila in order to stop him, etc..

2: Kigaly mainly serves as an antagonist for most part of the story as she behaves quite madly and puts everything in danger in order to get her heart’s desire... her story ties closely to Sindra as I mentioned, they have a lot of beef to solve, etc.. but Kigaly also is interested in the phoenix power since she perceives it as a chance to bring her beloved sister back from the dead, so she is destined to be an antagonist to both Aquila and Sindra and this can grow more personal later on.

3: Aquila and Sindra are supposed to join forces later on and travel a bit together on a quest they eventually wind up on a place called Gaea, which is basically a forest with meso/south america theme where they meet an ancient culture which has potential to teach them their kinds can evolve together, etc... among other things they have to work this out.

4: Later on Sindra deals with Erebus, which is the dark parallel of Aithnë (the fire spirit) so they both have mirrored themes in having to deal with dangerous and complicated other-worldly beings, etc... (lulz).

By the end of the story they’ll be great friends and much more than that, soul mates in a way... and they’re supposed to lift each other and complement each other, etc... initially it might appear impossible and that’s exactly the premise of the story. Aquila opens up sooner as she noticed Sindra’s inner turmoil and despair as a silent scream for help... (she’s very perceptive and empathetic), but it takes a while for Sindra to accept any help from the outside, but eventually she does... she will have to rethink her life as she starts defrosting and focusing on what really matters, so eventually she repays the kindness in due and both are supposed to grow and evolve becoming much better than their initial versions, while keeping the structure and theme.

I hope I haven’t forgotten any important aspects of the story, LMAO. I’m quite sleepy right now but wanted to write you this quick guide to their relationship...

To sum it up, Aquila & Sindra are destined to some big things, they are the opposite forces that need to work together to make the world better, etc.. they are the central focus of the whole ‘bird vs dragon’ thing, of course I have many other characters which have become perhaps just as vital but they were the root of this all in my mind and everything has branched from it.

They’ll clash a lot before that, and there’s a reason it looks like they’re not very connected. A: I’m dumb and don’t write down things and B: you always see the base characters on my posts as I’m developing this...

And yes, I love the theme and I agree its rather warm, lol. But I have to make sure not only Aquila takes action on it, lol as she’s more prone to it.
