Character Info
› Canon: Marvel Cinematic Universe
› Character Name (First, Last): Loki Odinson Laufeyson. Just Loki, of Asgard.
› Canon Point: As far as he will be pretending in-game, from his death. As far as he is actually from, after tricking Thor in Asgard during Thor: The Dark World.
› Character Age: A few thousand. It is never expicitly stated and the canon is vague with regards to just how long an Asgardian or Jötunn may live.
› Sex/Gender: Male technically, although he is genderfluid in the mythology and has been shown to identify with feminine traits as well as sometimes inhabiting female bodies in myth, comic and movieverse.
› Appearance: http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa475/epistretes/loki_zps9ca9b449.png
› Suitability: Loki is an adult and has seen many years, possibly even millennia. While it is never delved in to in the movies beyond a snarled threat to Thor regarding Jane to rile him up in this particular canon, it is clear he likes to enjoy himself. This would also led very easily in to taking enjoyment from sexual situations. Of course, that he could possibly get back his powers by doing so would be a great incentive. As a Prince of Asgard he would likely have enjoyed some 'company' in his youth and enjoyed many dalliances, making him no stranger to sexual encounters. He has also been known to flirt without success with Sif.
› History/Background: http://marvel-movies.wikia.com/wiki/Loki_Laufeyson
› Personality: Loki was brought up believing himself to be a prince of Asgard, the mightiest of the nine realms and inhabited by the Æsir. He was the son of Odin, the King, the All-Father and could one day sit on the throne of Asgard as King in his own right.
Even so, he was always one step behind his brother, Thor, in his father's estimations and love (or so he believed) and he began to resent Thor for this. Even though his mother, Frigga, loved him well and taught him her magics (also tying in the more feminine aspects of his personality as the Asgardians believe power is the province of men except a notable few like Sif and the Valkyries) and he reveled in his powers of magic and manipulation.
On top of this, he was feeling jealous that his attempts at flirting with Sif were rebuffed while she held a torch for Thor. Everything fell to Thor, so Loki believed and he started to do little things to secretly antagonise his brother and put a rift between him and Odin. This all culminated in the moment Thor was supposed to be crowned the new King as Odin was about to go in to his Odinsleep. Loki instead made secret contact with the jötnar and allowed them to enter the vaults, effectively ruining Thor's big day. This gave Loki pleasure - until he aided Thor in going to Jötunheimr and discovered that unlike the other Asgardians, he was not hurt by the touch of the jötnar instead turning partially blue at the contact. This moment was the first moment to change Loki forever. He had his first clue, but he wanted confirmation. He confronted Odin and was told the truth about his parentage, his lineage, his abandonment and his secret adoption. Just before the confrontation, Thor had been banished to Midgard for his attack on Jötunheimr as well, leaving Loki the sole heir.
Everything he was, everything he had ever believed in was shattered and worse - before he could come to terms with this, Odin fell in to the Odinsleep. Loki's mind cracked further and he clung to the fact that he was now King...except that he had never been allowed to be King in the first place because the Æsir could not have an adopted Jötun on the throne.
He attempted to destroy Jötunheimr as well as ensure Thor could not return, thereby eliminating any threat that his rule could be taken from him. He even engineered and murdered his real father in a room with Frigga and Odin (who could understand all that happened around him) in order to properly secure Odin's trust and love. This all came crashing down when Thor returned and stopped his plans, defeating Loki with power over cunning.
Loki, dangling over a wormhole appealed to the now-awakened Odin to see why his plans shpuld have worked, that he could have done it, only to be rebuffed again. Loki then let go and let himself fall in to the wormhole.
It was in here that his sanity finally broke and he remembers the incident as Thor 'throwing him in'. However, he discovered new worlds away from Yggdrasil and the nine realms and by doing so found new purpose. He was born to be a King, he would wrest it in whichever way possible.
He is determined, insane, occasionally megalomanical and tricky. He is extremely difficult to deal with and pretty much impossible to trust.
› Previous Game Memories: N/A
› Sexuality: While Loki shows a definite interest in certain women, he is pansexual. He flirts with Sif in the MCU universe but is otherwise too preoccupied with his sanity ending and his goal of becoming King of Asgard. However, in his mythological roots, he was married to Sigyn but had dalliances with all sorts. While I will not be bringing in the mythological aspects of Sigyn and his motherhood of Sleipnir it does show that he is willing to have sexual congress in nearly any situation and will change up whether he is dominant or not.
I will be playing him as pansexual but with a preference for women.
› Abilities/Powers/Skills: He is very strong compared to a human of his size, has a very clever mind and tongue and is a master of magic. Specific abilities shown in the MCUverse are:
Superhuman Strength and Durability
"Immortality" - while it is possible to kill Loki, it is very difficult and he would naturally live out a very extended life
Magic
Cold Manipulation & Resistance (although he can be susceptible to some fire attacks because of this)
He can also wield a variety of weapons, but has a preference for daggers or short swords.
› Items: None.
› Additional Notes: N/A
› Sample First Person: http://spliteverways.dreamwidth.org/24057.html
› Sample Third Person: Loki's plans had all come to a beautiful fruition. Odin the All-Father was under the power of his renowned silver tongue, Thor was gone and hopefully never to return and he sat on the throne of Asgard. All that was missing was his mother, Frigga.
As he sat upon the hard-won symbolic chair, his mind turned to his mother for a long moment before he hardened his heart and changed his thoughts away once again. He could not long think of his mother, without whom he would have been nothing without becoming very upset. Those that had killed her might be nothing now but it did not stop the hatred in his very soul. His rise to power had not been what he envisioned as a child, but it did not stop it feeling sweet at the ultimate point.
Now all he needed was to cement and secure his place and nothing would stop him, not Thor, not Odin and not Sif or the Warriors Three or even Heimdall.
His mind lingered for a moment on a memory of Sif, her hair shining in the sunlight and looking beautiful. The memory was soured by the rememberance of her rebuffing him when he had attempted to flirt with her back in the caverns of Svartalfheim. She had rebuffed him because of feelings for Thor. Well, perhaps he would change her mind - make this victory ever more sweet.
Now just to figure out how to manage that while maintaining his current façade - but half of the fun was in the planning.
