When I say god, I mean that my father, Odin, is, or WAS, the All-Father. We are granted abilities humans can only dream of and can never attain in their lives. We are not immortal in that we do not live forever, but we age at a much slower rate than mortals. I am 1,500 years old, for example. And when we do die, whether in battle or simply because we've reached the end of our lifespan, if we have lived as a hero or great warrior, or if we have earned our place, we ascend to Valhalla.
I have been told this is like your concept of "heaven," though I believe that's a religion unique to humans.
So, prior to my arrival here, I had many great powers! I am the God of Thunder and Lightning. With my hammer, Mjolnir, that could only be picked up by those worthy, I could harness and gain access to the wonders of lightning and thunder to vanquish my foes. I had amazing stamina, had immense strength, and did not often get injured. If I did, I healed rapidly. There were many other benefits to being a god, but I hope I've been a little clearer for you!
