“Call me what you wish, do what you want, it won't change me. I'm for justice for all.”
☞Full Name☜
Ásbjorn Joakim Fury
☞Nicknames☜
Since Asbjorn isn't a very common name amongst the American folk (I mean, who has time to pronounce that accent?), Asbjorn will go by any nicknames that he is given. It certainly doesn't help that his sister's name practically takes most of his nickname opportunities. So while his job doesn't allow for nicknames, Azzy is the most common. However, his sister seems to like the name Hoover, even if she doesn't talk much anymore.
☞Occupation(s)☜

☞Birthday☜
March 21st, 1993
☞Gender☜

☞Sexual Orientation☜
What an interesting question. Heterosexual would be the most confident answer, but since Azzy has never experimented, how would he know if he wasn't?

☞Height and Weight☜
5'11, 320 lbs
☞Eye and Hair Color☜
Dull Blue, Pitch Black
☞Body Type☜
Athletic/Muscular - Azzy takes pride in the fact that can, indeed, 'lift'.
☞Special Markings☜
Scars- To one looking in on Azzy, many would believe that he got off easy compared to his sister, since she has some pretty nasty scars and carvings in her body. Make no mistake, however - Azzy has his scars. Identical to his sister are the 51 rows, two wide of needle scars that run along his spine. Most of his smaller scars are centralized around his hands, with a needle mark on each fingertip. On his right eye, Asbjorn also has a scar cutting his eyebrow in half and extending right above his eye. His right eye is nearly blind because of that. Finally, to finish him up, Asbjorn’s left leg was severely damaged after some of the tests they did when they found out he could heal fast - for example, they thought it interesting to drop cars on his legs for hours. Since Asbjorn couldn’t get his leg to set right - no splints - it healed completely, badly wrong.
Tattoos- Again similar to his twin, he has a different bar code on his neck, but Azzy cut it in half after they escaped to show he doesn’t belong to them. He has also had numerous attempts to get it off, but so far it has only faded it. Other than that, Asbjorn has winged tattoos on his back.
☞Extras and Fashion☜
Asbjorn likes to think himself as pretty classy and trendy, so he half-heartedly keeps up with the trends with his variety of clothing. For casual, his wardrobe is comprised of varieties of jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, button up shirts, muscle shirts, the works. However, for work he decks himself in a suit. His skin colour is only a light brown, but he looks a lot darker with his sister around. His hair is always buzzed short, since he rarely likes to deal with it - and yes, he does have facial hair.

☞Fears and Phobias☜
Losing His Sister
Astrid is that special twin that Asbjorn wouldn’t know what to do if he lost her. They’ve been through a lot together, so they both understand each other’s pain. Thing is, he has already lost half of what his sister used to be, and it truly scares him to lose anything more of her.
Isolophobia
Many of the experiments that Asbjorn had to endure was simply being alone. Hours and hours of simply being in complete darkness. Sounds great for a kid of the darkness, but with no knowledge of the building and no light source to control the shadows, he was screwed. Worse was that he could see almost perfectly, so he always knew he was alone. It slowly began to mess with him how alone he was, especially after one experimentation on his mind that began to creation of him seeing Nexus as another person. It got worse when he and Nexus would conversations with each other. Ever since then, people are his source of sanity.
Nexus
Nexus represents Azzy’s mutations, as he sees Nexus as his other half - and that terrifies him. Darkness is said to be the portal to a different realm, to which he can travel anywhere. The problem is the fact that while the darkness can be highly powerful and useful, Asbjorn sees and knows the darkness as a dangerous, unpredictable ally. It embodies everything he stands against: after all, the darkness is where fugitives hide, what criminals use and what mentally unstable people blame.
☞Aspirations☜
Truly understanding his mutations
The ability to control the darkness and shadows is highly complicated and multi-leveled: so confusing that Asbjorn didn’t fully understand the depth of his mutations until after he was out of the experiments. Nevertheless, Asbjorn is constantly working on his powers (in a safe environment, mind you) to see the limits that he has for the safety of all. Especially that one power.
Getting his sister back to the way she was.
As kids, Astro had always been the star, while Az had always been the back up. After their experimentation for three years, their roles were reversed: Astrid was broken, while Asbjorn somehow rose above his past to become the star. The problem is the fact that Azzy never had plans to become popular, and seriously misses his sister’s former personality. Whatever he can do to break her shell, he will.
Get the world to accept mutants
Not the easiest of aspirations, but Az considers it a heck of a lot easier than the previous one. Anywho, Asbjorn wants to continue his career until he is high enough in the world, and hopefully the world will see his good deeds so that when he reveals himself as a mutant, the world will see the good he has done and think of mutants in a better light.
☞Secrets☜
Split-Personality
Asbjorn isn’t entirely sure if his sister knows of this or not, but as stated earlier Asbjorn isn’t entirely sure if he is Nexus, or if Nexus is another person altogether. It all started during the experimentation: before then, Az was fine. The experimentation did something to his mind, however, that caused his mutations to grow a conciousness of their own: at least, that is how Asbjorn thinks it. Regardless, when in true combat Az is never sure if he is ever in control, as he feels like his thought process is altered. See, in combat, if ‘Nexus’ takes over things are a little more brutal - while Asbjorn is naturally a man of morality, Nexus really isn’t.
His ‘Limp’
See, while his leg was shattered - they almost had to amputate, it was that bad - a man by the name of Tony Stark thought otherwise. After a few hours, they had completely fixed his left leg: sort of. Instead of amputating, they simply put a crap ton of metal and biotics into his left leg to make it work again. By his 15th birthday, they were able to remove the last piece of metal from his leg, and it works like brand new besides a slight limp. However, he keeps the original limp he had from before while in public, so that people don’t get suspicious. Asbjorn is pretty sure that a number of the mutants know, which is perfectly fine, but nobody of the public.
☞Personality☜
As a kid, Asbjorn was actually the quiet one who would keep to himself and let his sister burn brightly. He liked knowledge, and was extremely shy, so he didn’t mind any of it. After three years of experimentation, however, the kid came back fairly broken and highly mentally unstable. Much of that experimentation shock still lingers within Asbjorn: he still is slightly edgy around needles and scientists and has a problem with his own powers.
Thing is, Asbjorn learned to cope by becoming a people person. He almost needs people to be around him that he knows and trusts for him to feel safe and happy. Calling him the social butterfly would be an understatement: the kid went from barely talking to anybody to conversing with total and random strangers. He learned how to strike a conversation and keep one, how to entrance people with words and how to get people to accept his trust as well as letting them into his life. While he does sometimes yearn for silence and peace, Azzy has gotten used to people and their ways, and has begun enjoying them
Asbjorn at heart has always been a kind soul, and for the most part still is. His view is oddly highly optimistic, always striving for the light within the darkness: a play on words that somehow works with him and against him at the same time. People have question how he can be so optimistic, but the answer is fairly obvious: it is how he copes with his past. Azzy doesn’t like thinking about it, so he sets his mind to happier thoughts.
Asbjorn, regardless of everything that has happened to him, has always felt the strong pull of responsibility. His father ran the Avengers, and Asbjorn always looked up to how strong a man his father was. After the experiments, Azzy began see his father more as a role model of strength and responsibility: since his sister was closing herself off, Asbjorn felt the need to fill her shoes as the outgoing personality until she returned to her former self. In essence, he would never have become the man he has been today without those experimentations: while he hates them and what they did to his sister, Asbjorn understands that they have shaped him and molded him.
This has created him to be a natural leader among men. His ability to interact with virtually anyone - even those he hates, he has gotten that good - and his urge to take responsibility and strive for it has shaped him into a figure similar to that of his father. However, just like his father, Asbjorn has inherited his secretiveness and brash nature. Even as the silent child, Asbjorn always had an ulterior motive to every action and request, always seeing how it could benefit himself and his family. Realizing it in his father and how many of the Avenger’s react to it, Asbjorn always tries to use his ulterior motives for the best of everyone he cares about while hopefully not screwing the other guy over.
However, the one thing he refuses to excuse are his impulses to side with his gut. As a kid, if something felt wrong Azzy would either shy away from it, or tell his sister to do something. Now, he states his mind clearly if something feels wrong. While Asbjorn still wants to be friends with all and hates to be rude to them, he has no problem with being brash with things he doesn’t entirely sit well with. There have been many times when he went against direct orders simply because he didn’t feel that they were the best course of action, or because it meant putting somebody else in danger.
In the end, Azzy is an entirely different person than his childhood self: so much so that he barely remembers much of his past personality. Regardless, he strive to do the best he can in every situation, and will do so with a smile. The man is a naturally born leader, and uses these traits to own the court room. He tries his best not to get manipulative with his ulterior motives, but he does have his days.
【Classified...】
“This category should not be for me, but for him: and I don’t want to talk about him.”
☞Position Within The Order☜
Field Agent Extraordinaire/Legal Services Rep.
☞Alias☜
Nexus
☞Powers☜
Umbrakinesis (Darkness & Shadow Manipulation), and Asgardian/Vanir Conditions
☞Capabilities and Applications☜
Asgardian/Vanir Conditions – So Asbjorn is actually a demi-god. Cool, huh? Vanir have super strength, speed, endurance, healing, all that jazz, but since Asbjorn is only half he only gets half. If you really want to get to specs, see Astrid - she likes to know this sort of thing
Darkness Manipulation – Also known as Umbrakinesis, Asbjorn has control over the shadows and darkness of the world. Oddly enough, his mutation is attributed to his Vanir heritage, not the X-Gene. With this mutation, Asbjorn has the power to create, bend, shift, mold, and eliminate darkness.
Vaccuum – Without his Vanir blood, this would be Asbjorn's only mutation, as it was created by the X-Gene. A Vaccuum is a nulifying void that has the ability to suck the light and air from an area. Similar to his black hole ability in the previous section, except it cannot take solid matter. Due to the nature of this mutation, it takes much more energy than his darkness control. Azzy can absorb air from a given area to cause a massive implosion, or to cause others to suffocate.
☞Skills, Strengths, and Talents☜
[+]Law Freak - Wanna know what you are doing illegally? Just ask Asbjorn, and he’ll tell ya. The guy knows the criminal justice code inside out and backwards for his job.
[+]Sword Master - His cane is actually a sword - so really he is walking on his weapon. He started sword fighting when he was 12 as a distraction. Azzy is now a master at both kenjutsu (japanese sword play) and fencing.
[+]Pianist - Again, another hobby Asbjorn took up after the experimentations to take his mind off of it. He has become quite skillful, he must say, as he has memorized enough songs to play in a festival and win.
[+]Do you even lift? - even without those silly power ups he gets from his heritage, Asbjorn is no lightweight. He got another to calculate that he could easily benchpress 150% of his own body weight if he didn’t have super strength. Not bad indeed.
[+]Management Man - If you need a guy that can organize virtually anything, call upon the magical Asbjorn and he will set it straight for you. Whether it is a company, thousands of papers, anything: the guy can somehow multitask at crazy speeds to completely organize and reset dozens of things. Take a look at his room, for example: that place is scary organized and clean.
☞Flaws, Weaknesses, and Disabilities☜
[-]Left Leg - While it may have healed completely, that doesn’t mean that Asbjorn doesn’t get random pains from time to time. It is his weak leg after all.
[-]Nexus’ Eye - The codename he gave his right eye, it cannot see colours in any shape or form. Nope, his right eye is completely colour blind, and even then it isn’t as strong as his left. The only positive thing about it is that it can see shadows and such. Sort of hard to explain, like his night vision.
[-]His Family - Azzy is a family man, after all. Doesn’t matter how you are related to him, he will go out of his way to make sure you don’t die.
[-]Split-Personality - While Nexus doesn’t actually exist, the fact of the matter remains that Asbjorn thinks he does, and therefore rarely uses much of his powers because of it. So Asbjorn is a little more than reluctant to use any of his higher power mutations, which can create problems.
[-]Blood type – See, since Asbjorn isn't human and all, he can't receive blood transfusions from others that aren't of his identical blood type (such as his sister, Loki, those kinds of people). This can make things a little more challenging when he or his sister is fatally injured.
[-]Black Hole Blues - Remember that limit? Creating and controlling the black hole itself creates worlds of pressure onto his body. Exceeding that limit instantly drains Asbjorn of all life force, placing him into a life threatening coma, which takes at least two weeks for his super body to recuperate from. He has only gone past ten seconds once, and it nearly killed him.
[-]Sucks to Suck - As stated in the description, while Azzy has much more confidence using his control over vaccuums, they do take a lot out of him. Vaccuums are the nonexistance of matter entirely, which puts continuous strain on his body as he keeps them open. The longest vaccuum to be opened by Asbjorn clocks in at roughly 5 minutes. Afterwards, he slept for three days. They can leave him nauseated, dizzy and confused after opening them.
☞Equipment☜
*Vehicles - A blue BMW Z4 Roadster is all he has in his arsenal of vehicles. However, he does own a longboard for those days where he just wants to drift around town.
*Weapons - Asbjorn only carries one weapon with him: his 36 inch dragon head sword cane. Inside is a sword almost of equal length, which has been tampered with to easily beat the strongest steel.
*Sentimental Items - A locket, which is almost identical to his sister's and father's with the whole gang inside - Father, Mother, Astro and himself. He also has the very first court case that he ever won, and an empty picture frame. He faintly remembers that a picture used to belong inside of it, but he can't recall of what.
Gadgets - Most gadgets that Asbjorn has are for work, so he usually gives them back at the end. His watch has been suped up though with a bunch of weird features. But other than that, Asbjorn likes to go without such things on his daily routine.
IDs - Since Asbjorn has a bad tendency to go against the command of some of his 'respected seniors' of SHIELD, he is only given a S.H.I.E.L.D ID badge with a clearence Lv. of 9

☞Connection To Members of The Order☜
Banner, Benjamin/Maven Rage
“Benny? I sort of grew up with him, in a sense. Since mom can soothe people, we got to house him for most of his life. He has to be probably the most passive guy I've ever met, with intentions that are more purehearted than I could ever have. It's weird to say that in that light, I look up to him: after all, according to Victory there is nothing good about him. However, unlike her I see his ability to heal as a gift, his passive nature as a strength. I don't know, I just like him as a friend is all. Besides, I do after all know who he secretly admires: though it is really not that hard to tell, anybody can truthfully see it if they looked hard enough. Oh well, I'll keep that to myself for now."
Fury, Ásbjorn/Nexus
“I like me. I mean, sure there are a few things I don't like about myself, but overall I'm fairly happy with how I've turned out.”
Fury, Astrid/Luminesca
“What can I say besides the obvious? I dote over my twin to absolutely no end. I mean, as kids she was my idol - well, dad too - and I looked up to her and all. After those three years though, she changed into someone else: like Astro really isn't Astro anymore. So I do whatever I can to get her back on track, regardless of what she throws at me - which is quite literal sometimes. Yeah, I've heard some people say its like a mini-abusive relationship, but they don't know anything about her - and I don't see it as. I just want her to be happy, and until then I will keep trying my best to crack open that shell she made. After all, I owe Astro a lot, even if she doesn't realize it.”
Howlett, Orfelina/Tarot
“How do I know this character...? What do I think about this character...?”
Laufeyson, Loki/Joker
“I don't like him, and I don't like how Astro has to basically babysit him. That man schemes more than anybody I've ever met, and to put it like Mr. Banner: "That man's brain is a bag full of cats; you can smell crazy on him.”
LeBeau, Basil/Suspect
“If it isn't my very 'special' client, Basil LeBeau! Heh, the guy's alright: let's just say he rightly deserves the alias Suspect, and I swear that most of my paycheck come from him, which makes me feel a little guilty for somewhat mooching off of him to survive. Guy has a ton of money though, so really I can't feel that guilty. I'm not going to lie here though: I don't entirely trust Basil. There is something about him that doesn't sit well with me. I'm not sure if it is the attitude, or his shifty past, or perhaps the fact that I've been into the court room so many damn times for this guy that if if I wasn't curious about what this guy does, I would be a deadbeat. Regardless, I've got him out every time, and he seems to be an alright guy in general. We could be friends one day - if he stuck around more often than not.”
Rogers, Amanda/Freedom
“Ah, Amanda. While not many see her as a mutant, she is without a doubt highly skilled. Her work with a camera is flawless, her martial arts spectacular, and her overall personality is quite a breath of fresh air from my workplace: I mean, being a lawyer is pretty darn depressing work, but somebody has to do it. I wonder sometimes if she truly understands how useful she is, but who am I to say: I'm just another field agent, like she is. Overall, a great person to work with, and a teammate I can safely say I trust.”
Stark, Anthony Jr./Showtime
“How do I know this character...? What do I think about this character...?”
Stark, Victory/Circuit
“Victory's... difficult. It seems that regardless of what I do to show that I have no beef against her or anything, she still doesn't like me. She seems to hate my father a lot for that incident when he refused her into S.H.I.E.L.D, and to be honest, I do not disagree with him. Victory is too self centred: her motives quite selfish and haughty. If I was my father, I'm pretty sure I would have made the same call, regardless of how vindictive Victory has become about it. I still don't hate her though, and respect her knowledge at technology: I just wished she would grow up a little to see past herself once in a while. I do my best to tolerate and accept her though, which is really all I can do.”
Thorson, Gunnar/Maelstrom
“Gunnar! Not a bad guy all around and a wiz in tactics. Sure, it helps to have the daddy of the Thunder God, but that's besides the point. Gunnar is a great person to have anyway, most of the time. Those days where his attitude gets the better of him are almost as bad as Astrid's days, and those are scary. Instead, Gunnar just gets.. well, really destructive and pretty annoying. Oh well, he has his own flaws to work on, and I have mine. We will get stronger together, and hope that justice prevails.”
Thorsdottir, Johanna/Tempest
“Johanna is pretty nice, I guess. I mean, she can play the piano just as good as I can and her sword work is amazing - but what would expect from the daughter of a god? No, before you ask, I'm not jealous - just in awe that somebody could do so much. Thing is, I keep seeing her constantly striving for greater heights, but I feel like she is missing out on a lot of things because of it. Oh well, I find her to be a good person and that is really all that matters: flaws can be mended with time, and if memory serves me right she should have lots of it.”
【Just A Little Extra...】
“Character Quote”
☞Education☜
Languages – Asbjorn is fluent in only 5 languages (unlike his sister over there, who speaks a bazillion): English (of any nationality, literally), Spanish, Mandarin, Hindustani and Russian. As you may have noticed, Asbjorn needs all of these languages, since all 5 are the more popular languages to be used in court for those without a translator.
Degrees – M.D. of Law.

By his 15th birthday, they were able to remove the last piece of metal from his leg, and it works like brand new besides a slight limp. However, he keeps the original limp he had from before while in public, so that people don’t get suspicious. Asbjorn is pretty sure that a number of the mutants know, which is perfectly fine, but nobody of the public.
☞Personality☜
As a kid, Asbjorn was actually the quiet one who would keep to himself and let his sister burn brightly. He liked knowledge, and was extremely shy, so he didn’t mind any of it. After three years of experimentation, however, the kid came back fairly broken and highly mentally unstable. Much of that experimentation shock still lingers within Asbjorn: he still is slightly edgy around needles and scientists and has a problem with his own powers.
Thing is, Asbjorn learned to cope by becoming a people person. He almost needs people to be around him that he knows and trusts for him to feel safe and happy. Calling him the social butterfly would be an understatement: the kid went from barely talking to anybody to conversing with total and random strangers. He learned how to strike a conversation and keep one, how to entrance people with words and how to get people to accept his trust as well as letting them into his life. While he does sometimes yearn for silence and peace, Azzy has gotten used to people and their ways, and has begun enjoying them
Asbjorn at heart has always been a kind soul, and for the most part still is. His view is oddly highly optimistic, always striving for the light within the darkness: a play on words that somehow works with him and against him at the same time. People have question how he can be so optimistic, but the answer is fairly obvious: it is how he copes with his past. Azzy doesn’t like thinking about it, so he sets his mind to happier thoughts.
Asbjorn, regardless of everything that has happened to him, has always felt the strong pull of responsibility. His father ran the Avengers, and Asbjorn always looked up to how strong a man his father was. After the experiments, Azzy began see his father more as a role model of strength and responsibility: since his sister was closing herself off, Asbjorn felt the need to fill her shoes as the outgoing personality until she returned to her former self. In essence, he would never have become the man he has been today without those experimentations: while he hates them and what they did to his sister, Asbjorn understands that they have shaped him and molded him.
This has created him to be a natural leader among men. His ability to interact with virtually anyone - even those he hates, he has gotten that good - and his urge to take responsibility and strive for it has shaped him into a figure similar to that of his father. However, just like his father, Asbjorn has inherited his secretiveness and brash nature. Even as the silent child, Asbjorn always had an ulterior motive to every action and request, always seeing how it could benefit himself and his family. Realizing it in his father and how many of the Avenger’s react to it, Asbjorn always tries to use his ulterior motives for the best of everyone he cares about while hopefully not screwing the other guy over.
However, the one thing he refuses to excuse are his impulses to side with his gut. As a kid, if something felt wrong Azzy would either shy away from it, or tell his sister to do something. Now, he states his mind clearly if something feels wrong. While Asbjorn still wants to be friends with all and hates to be rude to them, he has no problem with being brash with things he doesn’t entirely sit well with. There have been many times when he went against direct orders simply because he didn’t feel that they were the best course of action, or because it meant putting somebody else in danger.
In the end, Azzy is an entirely different person than his childhood self: so much so that he barely remembers much of his past personality. Regardless, he strive to do the best he can in every situation, and will do so with a smile. The man is a naturally born leader, and uses these traits to own the court room. He tries his best not to get manipulative with his ulterior motives, but he does have his days.

Umbrakinesis (Darkness & Shadow Manipulation), and Asgardian/Vanir Conditions
☞Capabilities and Applications☜
Asgardian/Vanir Conditions – So Asbjorn is actually a demi-god. Cool, huh? Vanir have super strength, speed, endurance, healing, all that jazz, but since Asbjorn is only half he only gets half. If you really want to get to specs, see Astrid - she likes to know this sort of thing
- Super Strength - While Asbjorn does in fact workout to keep himself in tiptop shape, he really doesn’t have to: he can lift anything of roughly 12 tons on a good day.
- Super Speed - The dude can run faster and react faster than you. Really no cause for explanation here.
- Super Stamina - Due to the lack of lactic acid produced by his muscle tissue, Asbjorn can go ten hours before getting tired. In any way, shape or form.
- Super Dense Tissue (Whaa) - The tissue fibres of his body are actually 150% more dense than normal tissue, so the dude weighs actually a bit more than what is given above.
- Super Durability - Asbjorn can withstand things that normal people really shouldn’t - you know, medium caliber bullets, energy blasts, things like that.
- Longevity - Azzy basically stopped aging two years ago, even if he really doesn’t know it.
- Super Healing - So Azzy has a passive ability that has his metabolism work in overdrive. This allows him to heal quite a bit faster than most normal people, such as cuts in a few hours or broken bones in a few days. Thing is, it doesn’t have a brain or something - if it is broken and not properly set, it will fuse wrong - such as with his leg. He also can’t regrow limbs, organs, things that are taken away from him - such as the sight in his eye.
Darkness Manipulation – Also known as Umbrakinesis, Asbjorn has control over the shadows and darkness of the world. Oddly enough, his mutation is attributed to his Vanir heritage, not the X-Gene. With this mutation, Asbjorn has the power to create, bend, shift, mold, and eliminate darkness.
- Blanket of Shadows - While he cannot absorb light like his sister, Az can create a ‘fog’ of sorts that blankets an area in total darkness. The size of the fog depends on his current energy level and the available darkness that surrounds him. The largest he has ever done was putting the section of Manhattan into darkness for roughly 10 minutes. They thought it was an eclipse. This fog is almost impossible to see through, such as like on a moonless night. Since it is also a fog, light sources are rendered almost useless - except for when his sister cheats and blasts it all away with light. Cheater.
- Umbrakinetic Combat - Asbjorn can create constructs and weaponry to fight others with. His favourite has to be tendrils/chains, since they are the fastest to create and easiest to command. The highest level of this ability is creating animated life - Asbjorn has created a tiger once.
- Shadow Blast - The only move that requires simple will power, Asbjorn focuses the dark energy within himself to create a ball of pure darkness, which can be fired.
- Perfect Night Vision - Regardless of his right eye, Asbjorn can see in perfect darkness. There doesn’t have to be any light sources at all, he can still see. When asked to describe what he exactly sees, all Asbjorn can really say is ‘I don’t know how I see them, but the darkness tells me they are there.”
- Shadow Cloaking - When entering shadows, Asbjorn has the option to completely camouflage himself into the shadow, leaving no trace of his location. The only way to find him (if he is still there) are to remove all shadows in the area that he had entered.
- Ethereal Protection - Either using an existing shadow in the area or taking more energy and doing it himself, Asbjorn can turn himself into a shadow, becoming ethereal: this means nothing can hurt him, but he can do nothing at the same time besides move. It also makes him see through. This power can be extended to other party members, but he must have a shadow connecting to them to make it work.
- Pool of Nexus - The word ‘Nexus’ means connections or attachments. As the words imply, Asbjorn creates a pool of shadows in which all in the encompassing areas become shadows themselves.
- Umbrageous Teleportation - Asbjorn has the ability to create portals within the shadows to take him to another, under the principle that all shadows are connected through another realm. He can also store a limited amount of items within, which is quite handy for that ‘just in case’ moment.
- Ultimate Black Hole - Probably the most dangerous move in his entire arsenal is the ability to create and manage a black hole - a gravitational vaccuum that sucks everything into its core. It is actually created and controlled by his right eye - more on that later - but can only be opened for 10 seconds maximum. If Azzy attempts to exceed such limits, the consequences are harsh.
Vaccuum – Without his Vanir blood, this would be Asbjorn's only mutation, as it was created by the X-Gene. A Vaccuum is a nulifying void that has the ability to suck the light and air from an area. Similar to his black hole ability in the previous section, except it cannot take solid matter. Due to the nature of this mutation, it takes much more energy than his darkness control. Azzy can absorb air from a given area to cause a massive implosion, or to cause others to suffocate.
- Vaccuum Adaptation - Asbjorn can survive within a vaccuum environment, such as space, unaided. Pretty nifty if he was ever to be an astronaut, but he doesn't have plans to go out there any time soon.
- Implosion Inducement - When the particles of air and light are taken into a vaccuum at a rapid pace, an implosion is created to fill the void that has been created. In essence, Asbjorn is accomplishing two things at once: nullifying the air, and destroying stuff.
- Absorption and Rejection - Asbjorn can either choose to absorb the very light and air around him, or reject its presence entirely. Regardless, both create a vaccuum of sorts.
☞Skills, Strengths, and Talents☜
[+]Law Freak - Wanna know what you are doing illegally? Just ask Asbjorn, and he’ll tell ya. The guy knows the criminal justice code inside out and backwards for his job.
[+]Sword Master - His cane is actually a sword - so really he is walking on his weapon. He started sword fighting when he was 12 as a distraction. Azzy is now a master at both kenjutsu (japanese sword play) and fencing.
[+]Pianist - Again, another hobby Asbjorn took up after the experimentations to take his mind off of it. He has become quite skillful, he must say, as he has memorized enough songs to play in a festival and win.
[+]Do you even lift? - even without those silly power ups he gets from his heritage, Asbjorn is no lightweight. He got another to calculate that he could easily benchpress 150% of his own body weight if he didn’t have super strength. Not bad indeed.
[+]Management Man - If you need a guy that can organize virtually anything, call upon the magical Asbjorn and he will set it straight for you. Whether it is a company, thousands of papers, anything: the guy can somehow multitask at crazy speeds to completely organize and reset dozens of things. Take a look at his room, for example: that place is scary organized and clean.
☞Flaws, Weaknesses, and Disabilities☜
[-]Left Leg - While it may have healed completely, that doesn’t mean that Asbjorn doesn’t get random pains from time to time. It is his weak leg after all.
[-]Nexus’ Eye - The codename he gave his right eye, it cannot see colours in any shape or form. Nope, his right eye is completely colour blind, and even then it isn’t as strong as his left. The only positive thing about it is that it can see shadows and such. Sort of hard to explain, like his night vision.
[-]His Family - Azzy is a family man, after all. Doesn’t matter how you are related to him, he will go out of his way to make sure you don’t die.
[-]Split-Personality - While Nexus doesn’t actually exist, the fact of the matter remains that Asbjorn thinks he does, and therefore rarely uses much of his powers because of it. So Asbjorn is a little more than reluctant to use any of his higher power mutations, which can create problems.
[-]Blood type – See, since Asbjorn isn't human and all, he can't receive blood transfusions from others that aren't of his identical blood type (such as his sister, Loki, those kinds of people). This can make things a little more challenging when he or his sister is fatally injured.
[-]Black Hole Blues - Remember that limit? Creating and controlling the black hole itself creates worlds of pressure onto his body. Exceeding that limit instantly drains Asbjorn of all life force, placing him into a life threatening coma, which takes at least two weeks for his super body to recuperate from. He has only gone past ten seconds once, and it nearly killed him.
[-]Sucks to Suck - As stated in the description, while Azzy has much more confidence using his control over vaccuums, they do take a lot out of him. Vaccuums are the nonexistance of matter entirely, which puts continuous strain on his body as he keeps them open. The longest vaccuum to be opened by Asbjorn clocks in at roughly 5 minutes. Afterwards, he slept for three days. They can leave him nauseated, dizzy and confused after opening them.
☞Equipment☜
*Vehicles - A blue BMW Z4 Roadster is all he has in his arsenal of vehicles. However, he does own a longboard for those days where he just wants to drift around town.
*Weapons - Asbjorn only carries one weapon with him: his 36 inch dragon head sword cane. Inside is a sword almost of equal length, which has been tampered with to easily beat the strongest steel.
*Sentimental Items - A locket, which is almost identical to his sister's and father's with the whole gang inside - Father, Mother, Astro and himself. He also has the very first court case that he ever won, and an empty picture frame. He faintly remembers that a picture used to belong inside of it, but he can't recall of what.
Gadgets - Most gadgets that Asbjorn has are for work, so he usually gives them back at the end. His watch has been suped up though with a bunch of weird features. But other than that, Asbjorn likes to go without such things on his daily routine.
IDs - Since Asbjorn has a bad tendency to go against the command of some of his 'respected seniors' of SHIELD, he is only given a S.H.I.E.L.D ID badge with a clearence Lv. of 9

☞Connection To Members of The Order☜
Banner, Benjamin/Maven Rage
“Benny? I sort of grew up with him, in a sense. Since mom can soothe people, we got to house him for most of his life. He has to be probably the most passive guy I've ever met, with intentions that are more purehearted than I could ever have. It's weird to say that in that light, I look up to him: after all, according to Victory there is nothing good about him. However, unlike her I see his ability to heal as a gift, his passive nature as a strength. I don't know, I just like him as a friend is all. Besides, I do after all know who he secretly admires: though it is really not that hard to tell, anybody can truthfully see it if they looked hard enough. Oh well, I'll keep that to myself for now."
Fury, Ásbjorn/Nexus
“I like me. I mean, sure there are a few things I don't like about myself, but overall I'm fairly happy with how I've turned out.”
Fury, Astrid/Luminesca
“What can I say besides the obvious? I dote over my twin to absolutely no end. I mean, as kids she was my idol - well, dad too - and I looked up to her and all. After those three years though, she changed into someone else: like Astro really isn't Astro anymore. So I do whatever I can to get her back on track, regardless of what she throws at me - which is quite literal sometimes. Yeah, I've heard some people say its like a mini-abusive relationship, but they don't know anything about her - and I don't see it as. I just want her to be happy, and until then I will keep trying my best to crack open that shell she made. After all, I owe Astro a lot, even if she doesn't realize it.”
Howlett, Orfelina/Tarot
“How do I know this character...? What do I think about this character...?”
Laufeyson, Loki/Joker
“I don't like him, and I don't like how Astro has to basically babysit him. That man schemes more than anybody I've ever met, and to put it like Mr. Banner: "That man's brain is a bag full of cats; you can smell crazy on him.”
LeBeau, Basil/Suspect
“If it isn't my very 'special' client, Basil LeBeau! Heh, the guy's alright: let's just say he rightly deserves the alias Suspect, and I swear that most of my paycheck come from him, which makes me feel a little guilty for somewhat mooching off of him to survive. Guy has a ton of money though, so really I can't feel that guilty. I'm not going to lie here though: I don't entirely trust Basil. There is something about him that doesn't sit well with me. I'm not sure if it is the attitude, or his shifty past, or perhaps the fact that I've been into the court room so many damn times for this guy that if if I wasn't curious about what this guy does, I would be a deadbeat. Regardless, I've got him out every time, and he seems to be an alright guy in general. We could be friends one day - if he stuck around more often than not.”
Rogers, Amanda/Freedom
“Ah, Amanda. While not many see her as a mutant, she is without a doubt highly skilled. Her work with a camera is flawless, her martial arts spectacular, and her overall personality is quite a breath of fresh air from my workplace: I mean, being a lawyer is pretty darn depressing work, but somebody has to do it. I wonder sometimes if she truly understands how useful she is, but who am I to say: I'm just another field agent, like she is. Overall, a great person to work with, and a teammate I can safely say I trust.”
Stark, Anthony Jr./Showtime
“How do I know this character...? What do I think about this character...?”
Stark, Victory/Circuit
“Victory's... difficult. It seems that regardless of what I do to show that I have no beef against her or anything, she still doesn't like me. She seems to hate my father a lot for that incident when he refused her into S.H.I.E.L.D, and to be honest, I do not disagree with him. Victory is too self centred: her motives quite selfish and haughty. If I was my father, I'm pretty sure I would have made the same call, regardless of how vindictive Victory has become about it. I still don't hate her though, and respect her knowledge at technology: I just wished she would grow up a little to see past herself once in a while. I do my best to tolerate and accept her though, which is really all I can do.”
Thorson, Gunnar/Maelstrom
“Gunnar! Not a bad guy all around and a wiz in tactics. Sure, it helps to have the daddy of the Thunder God, but that's besides the point. Gunnar is a great person to have anyway, most of the time. Those days where his attitude gets the better of him are almost as bad as Astrid's days, and those are scary. Instead, Gunnar just gets.. well, really destructive and pretty annoying. Oh well, he has his own flaws to work on, and I have mine. We will get stronger together, and hope that justice prevails.”
Thorsdottir, Johanna/Tempest
“Johanna is pretty nice, I guess. I mean, she can play the piano just as good as I can and her sword work is amazing - but what would expect from the daughter of a god? No, before you ask, I'm not jealous - just in awe that somebody could do so much. Thing is, I keep seeing her constantly striving for greater heights, but I feel like she is missing out on a lot of things because of it. Oh well, I find her to be a good person and that is really all that matters: flaws can be mended with time, and if memory serves me right she should have lots of it.”
【Just A Little Extra...】
“Character Quote”
☞Education☜
Languages – Asbjorn is fluent in only 5 languages (unlike his sister over there, who speaks a bazillion): English (of any nationality, literally), Spanish, Mandarin, Hindustani and Russian. As you may have noticed, Asbjorn needs all of these languages, since all 5 are the more popular languages to be used in court for those without a translator.
Degrees – M.D. of Law.
☞Anything Else☜
Anything that didn't fit into the above categories.
