| [atrb=style,background-color: transparent,bTable] hey guys. my name is LOKI LAUFEYSON, but the public know me as LOKI. everyone else does, so i guess you can too. i'm MILLIONS years young, and if it isn't already obvious, i'm a MALE. it should be. what isn't so obvious is the fact that i'm a SUPERVILLAIN, but you can keep that a secret for now. Some people say I look like TOM HIDDLESTON. but I don't see it. |
powers
[/size][/right] Loki is perhaps the most powerful sorcerer in all of Asgard. His many magical abilities included shape-shifting , astral projection, molecular rearrangement, eldritch energy blasts, illusion casting, levitation, telepathy, hypnosis, and teleportation.
Loki can also magically create rifts between dimensions, allowing him or other objects passage from one universe to another. Most often this rift is between Asgard and Earth. Loki is immune to most physical injury, and can reattach severed body parts, including his own head. The God can lift nearly fifty tons, but rarely relies on his physical powers.
Loki’s biggest weakness actually seems to be his greatest foe in Thor. He has an insatiable lust for power, and often alienates himself from others through his deeds which brings an air of mistrust even from those who know him. Much like other great sorcerers, it’s thought that Loki is actually weaker when away from his home dimension of Asgard, as he was not born of the earth. He seems to be much more powerful in Asgard.
Side note --> Loki may seem like one of the most powerful beings in the world but in reality there are plenty of thing to trap him or magically bind him to places or people. Like everything Magic is a catch 22. He could be summoned against his will or any number of things one could surmise has existed to call forth or trap a being such as him.
personality
[/size][/right] Unlike his stepbrother, Loki is not an impulsive man, quite the opposite: thoughtful, manipulating, farseeing, he's the perfect tactician. Loki is mischievous by nature, always eager to prove himself: being physically weak, he developed a sharp intellect and an acute mind to overcome his handicap among the Asgardians warriors. He's pitiless and obstinate, ready to destroy everything on the path to his aims. Brilliant and smart, he's an incredible foe for a society mostly based on mindless combatants.
Loki is a master of magic, from the slide of hand to making objects vanish or change before ones very eyes. It was one of the first things he thought himself to do rather than learn any hand to hand combat like the rest of the children his age did. A lie smith, the man knows how to tell a lie, more or less weave a virtual web of them with his silver tongue.
Loki is on his own side, doing what ever it takes to achieve his ends. Be it helping or harming. He's a pragmatic idealist, which is a confusion in itself. Loki's the type of character to plan ahead by ten to a hundred steps, but his methods of execution can tend to be problematic, as he chooses to make decisions that seem ridiculously complicated to everyone else involved.
To understand Loki's motivations, you'll have to take note of the duplicity his adoptive father had taken on. Loki was cradle-robbed from his biological father's temple; while technicalities beg for the clarification that Loki was left to die in the temple anyway, the fact that Odin had taken him from Jotunheim and raised him as Aesir, in an environment that is vastly foreign to Loki's species, isn't any better. He grows up with a deep-seated sense of alienation and "outsider" issues even and especially within his adoptive family, and the rivalry Odin fostered between Loki and Thor didn't help matters when Loki proved to fit awkwardly in the Aesir mold of a prince. While Loki is by birth a prince and heir apparent to an entire realm, he's been raised to fear and hate his own species.
His rivalry with Thor, in turn, is founded on an intensely close relationship - there's no doubt that Loki bears a lot of affection and love for his adoptive family, going so far as to emotionally and psychologically reject the truth about his birth parent; the thought of being anyone else's son is so repulsive to him that he orchestrates events just to kill Laufey in front of Odin and Frigga as a sign of rejection. Loki can be cruel, but he seems only to direct most of it to Thor, who he envies, despises and thinks of as an idiot - and yet, up until Odin's revelations, Loki looks out for Thor first and foremost. Loki is a trickster; he enjoys getting a rise out of people, but circumstances surrounding his position in Asgard's hierarchy, his true parentage, and the strained relationship he has with his own family has twisted what could have been just a harmless inclination for immaturity.
He does have good qualities, though. He has a strong sense of family, which belies an intense type of loyalty for those who earn it from him. Loki's not trustworthy in the least, but he holds oaths in high regard, for so long as everyone is quick enough to close the holes in an agreement. He's polite, civil, and actually spares the time to avoid conflict where it's not necessary. He's the type to be mean and tricky with those he actually likes, but if you given no reason to pull his more dangerous tricks, he makes for a good ally and/or brother in arms. He's also ridiculously in need of affection, which, while not exactly a good trait, should be an indication of how lonely he feels, and how easily his insecurities can be handled if cards are played right.
history
[/size][/right] Adopted by Odin and Frigga at the end of the Asgardians' war with the jotuns, Loki was treated as a prince of Asgard and never informed of his true heritage throughout his youth. Jealous of his of step-brother Thor, Loki allowed several jotuns to enter Asgard to steal the Casket of Ancient Winters during Thor's coronation. In the wake of this intrusion, Thor opted to launch a counterattack on Jotunheim with a number of his friends, and while Loki initially tried to dissuade his brother, he eventually relented and went along with the plan.
Once on Jotunheim, Thor again led them into conflict and attacked the jotuns even after being granted safe passage home. During the ensuing fight, Loki was surprised by his own resistance to the jotuns' freezing touch, a revelation that led him to conclude that he was at least partly jotun rather than an Asgardian as he had been led to believe.
Loki confronted Odin over his lineage, but gained little more than an historical account of his early life before Odin lapsed into his "Odinsleep". With Thor already banished to Earth for the attack on Jotunheim, Loki stood unopposed and assumed the role of Asgard's regent. From his position of power, he continued to manipulate others, firstly making Thor believe Odin had died, then forcing obedience from other Asgardians and finally manipulating the jotuns into making an attempt on Odin's life.
When Thor's friends disobeyed Loki to bring word of his actions to Thor, Loki responded by sending The Destroyer after them to eliminate Thor. This action proved his undoing when Thor's courage in confronting the automaton paved the way for his return, and just as Loki revealed his double-cross against the jotuns who were infiltrating Asgard, Thor arrived to challenge him over his actions. The resulting fight quickly moved to Heimdall's Observatory where Loki had opened a portal that would destroy Jotunheim. Thor's power ultimately overpowered Loki's cunning, at the cost of the observatory and the Bifrost.
As Loki fell into the abyss below, the spear in his hand was grabbed by Thor who in turn was anchored to the remnants of the bridge by the newly-awakened Odin. He appealed to his stepfather that by annihilating the jotuns he was doing what was best for Asgard. Odin sadly rejected this, and with his Asgardian life now in tatters Loki released the spear and allowed the void to claim him.
Loki landed on a world unknown to plot his revenge. Not just against his brother, but against Earth, whose inhabitants Thor now protects. Loki, has returned with a nefarious plot to conquer Earth, the Nine Realms and will stop at nothing to see his vision realized.

role play sample |
He'd not been back in the realm too long, a few weeks at the most. To a mortal that was considerable but when one was Millennial old It did not matter. All though the time seemed longer, not being in a place one used to call home, made it so. Furthermore He'd never thought he would have to sneak in an wish to avoid being caught until he wished so. It was a radical change, Loki, himself had went through one just as well. He'd gone from un-wanting of the throne, to having it. To betrayer in little to no time. He'd never expected a warm welcome. Though the whispers he heard, they'd all believed him dead. That the signs that he was back was nothing more then a malevolent spirit. A wraith haunting the world.
Loki did not bother to tell Amora where he was going, in fact he was gone before she awoke. It had been a hard time, mentally. Things he'd put off for so long to think about attacked at once. The words that Amora spoke, about his mother. They had been gnawing at his mind for several days on end. Like a trapped animal chews at a caught limb to get free, even if it means a future death. Doing this could cost him his freedom, or his life. Depending on who caught him. Heimdall, Loki knew the gatekeeper would surely kill him on site. Though Loki had already mastered hiding himself from the watcher, unless such skills had improved. Only a reaction to his current location would tell.
He turned his head and watched the guards exit the throne room. No doubt dismissed by whoever was one the throne. There was no heir present, who was acting instead? Had Odin come out of his slumber or had the realm been seized by another faction. The Irony would indeed be ever humorous to the trickster god. No doubt the young god was clever, but the real question was about to be answered. Could he fool whoever was on the throne?
Loki's foot falls were like that of a gust of wind across a snow drift. Moving ever silently to the ears around it but still an ominous veil hanging in the air. A chill that no doubt run down the spine of any one other then those who knew him. A feeling of being watched from the shadows, turning to look an nothing there. One would dismiss it as imagination.
He stepped dangerously close in front of the guards that watched the large gilded doors, preventing entry to anyone unwelcome. There was not a single thought in his mind that suggested he would be welcome. Not a one. It was nothing more then a curiosity now that possessed him to veer off his originally desired path. Unknowing that is would lead him to the person he was seeking. Loki passed forward through the metal of the door with ease, avoiding anyone from knowing his presence. An it was then that he froze in his tracks. A most unexpected sight of his adoptive mother on the throne. If he had of been any thing like he was before, Loki would have dropped the magic bending the veil around him. His now wolfish exterior matched the cold he was born into.
Though he could not help but stare for a moment, the vision before him making him wish to reveal himself. The slight ebbing fear of the repercussion caused him to have his doubts. Did she hate him for what he had tried to do. His seemingly futile attempt to show them all that he was worthy had failed an lead to an act of unforgivable betrayal. Though it was that lingering doubt that caused him to remain hidden.
