Career: Soccer star for the Jericho district's team, the Gatekeepers. Their star forward, he has led Idun's soccer league in goals scored for each of the last three seasons and is considered one of the greatest talents to emerge in the last thirty years in league play. He spends his time as a sports celebrity and working out during the offseason. He loves his fans and is considered quite an affable personality.
History: Born to a family that lived in the poor districts of Idun, Dunkirk grew up with little amenities to his name beyond the rations his family was able to provide and the few things he would find in the alleyways around his home. When he was six, he found an abandoned soccer ball, likely lost by some other unfortunate child days before. It was his only toy at the time, and he clung to it like he would a pet, keeping it close and playing with it whenever he had spare time between school and chores. His parents noticed his attachment to the sport, and his father taught him the rules of soccer, hoping to encourage his hobby.
During school, he grew into an accomplished athlete, easily the best soccer player during extracurriculars, enough to garner notice from a scout for the Jericho Gatekeepers. He kept tabs on Dunkirk during his senior year before approaching him upon his graduation, offering him a chance to play for the Gatekeepers. Eager, he jumped at the opportunity, having idolized Devland Pryor, their defenseman for ten years, even going so far as to make his jersey through high school the same number as his own.
He took Idun's sports world by storm. While he had a mediocre rookie season, his sophomore years and beyond saw him blossom into a real star. His skills improved with each season, enough to lead the league in goals the past three years and win the MVP award the last two. He lives in the rich district of Idun during the offseason, keeping in shape for when he returns to the soccer field. During, he travels between the districts, playing the rest of the league in weekly matches and working out with his team or practicing during non-game days.
Of course, one night during the offseason, he had some weird dream come to him. Something about Exiles, corruption in Idun, atrocities...he could only vaguely remember details. The dream dogged him with its haziness in his mind all day, even when he got down to the deserted soccer pitch to take penalty shots. Unfocused, he missed all five he had lined up, which pissed off the soccer star. To let off steam, he ran at the goal and tried lifting it...and not only succeeded, but casually tossed it halfway across the pitch. Luckily, nobody had seen the sudden superhuman outburst, but it left quite the impact on him. Where had this power come from? And what would Idun do if they knew one of the biggest names in sports had suddenly become a superpower-wielding freak of nature? His career would be in the shitter, not even mentioning the worse things that might come. Unable to get many free hours with the season approaching, Dunkirk had little choice but to hide his power, unable to explore its possibilities save in small doses during the rare free hours he got.
Power: Thor's Might: While you cannot summon lightning and do not wield Mjolnir, your strength is prodigious when compared to normal people. While a strong man might be able to lift a small motor-scooter (400lbs), you can heft a small car (2,000lbs). However... while you are immensely strong, you are no faster than your peers. Thus your unarmed attacks are only marginally more dangerous. Still, you can throw heavy things and swing small trees like they are mere twigs.
Possessions: One Firenze GPX sports vehicle, various soccer equipment, two bowie knives, various other luxuries
Hacksilver: Approximately 20 Hacksilver Scrip
