Asgardian

Asgardians are a race of old Earth gods who are no longer worshipped and no longer seek to be worshipped - a normal life of adventure is all that the race of pseudo-gods really desire now.

Despite their mostly human appearance, all Asgardians possess physical attributes that operate on superhuman levels. All Asgardians possess some degree of superhuman strength and superhuman durability. Asgardians are not true immortals, and do age, but very slowly - some living over a century.

Each Asgardian needs, and is allocated, a golden apple grown by Yggdrasil and tended by Idunn. Keeping their apple nearby is essential for an Asgardian to maintain his or her physical vitality and relative immortality.

All Asgardians know of a portal to Asgard, their home, on Earth.

Though mostly affiliated with the Human Federation, a few Asgardians have found their way working with the United Galactic Alliance.
