He has a tendency to get explosively angry, but has learned to turn that energy into controlled channels. Like going out and smacking a bad thurse or dancing a storm. He is very protective and supportive of "his" people. He prefers a direct approact, but is quite intelligent and wise. He can do sneaky if no one else is available. He is definitely a god of combat (not greedy, but for protection and honor, perhaps proactively), storms, and what I call "vital power" (energy of growth, creation, things like that). He is also quite able at what I think of as "expansive awareness", mind techniques that open up your awareness and blend you in to what is around you (as opposed to more introspective, focussing, operant practices). He is more into democracy and consensus than rule and authority. He likes music, particularly for dancing. He is a lot more likely to help you carry out a plan that you develop than to come up with complicated schemes and enlist you. He doesn't do tricking and testing of his people. It would be much more typical to ask him "give me strength" than "give me knowledge", but if you ask a direct question, you are likely to get a direct answer. And he is a practical joker. (All IMO and IME and AFAIK, of course.) Does that answer?
