Character Name: Loki Laufeyson
Canon: Marvel 616
OU or AU?: OU
Canon point: End of issue 4 of Young Avengers (just before Billy grants Loki his powers for 10 minutes)
Setting: Marvel 616 is an extremely complicated universe, but this summarizes it. He is a (former) villain in this universe, and since his death is working to redeem himself (poorly). Due to the complexity of this universe, though...I've included some notes on him, specifically.
Loki is the son of Laufey, and originally of Asgard, however, thanks to his own doing, it is now in a place called Asgardia - just outside of Broxton, OK. His world is a modern world thanks to the fall, filled with Stark technology and he's pretty accustomed to it. (Not to say that he understands a word of cyber-lingo or what the word 'troll' means.) Now, he hangs out with a few other superheroes.
This world is one filled with gods, advanced technology (StarkTech), superpowered, mutants, enhanced humans, and just about every superhero/comic trope you can imagine. His world is one in the same as the Avengers; and due to his history with them, he has a pretty solid understanding of who each of them are. It is science meets magic.
Though the most important thing to remember is Loki spends his time on Earth, among people (and occasionally super-powered people), most of the time. He does NOT go to Asgardia (not necessarily his own choice), and he's not really welcome there, either.
History: Well...
Personality:
Loki is the god of mischief. No, really. That would be the most apt way to describe him. He exists to cause trouble, and he loves to cause trouble. In the days before his death, he managed to be the cause for the fall of Asgard (twice!) - and he made deals with individuals, which would eventually come back to him. The deals involved him getting his name erased from Hela's book, which would keep him from being able to go to Hel after the death that he seemed to seek out.
Loki, though, was not without regret for his actions. When he saw that this destruction he sacrificed himself, and it helped everyone win.
Loki was brought back without memories, and seems to be fourteen at the time of his revival. When he comes back, he is plagued with dreams of what is likely things he had done in his past. He hates it. When Thor finally returns a portion of his memories to him, Loki starts to strive for redemption.
Unfortunately, being as he is Loki - redemption doesn't really work well for him. Loki is a perfect example of "the road to Hell is paved with good intentions". Time and time again he wants to start to do good, but he routinely screws it up.
When he first comes back, his uncle (the Serpent) starts to plague earth. Loki starts to work on making deals with others in order to: keep the earth from crashing and burning, keep Odin from destroying the Earth, and then give Thor the opportunity to save Earth/kill the Serpent. His good intentions to save the world - lead to him releasing great amounts of evil later on. None of those deals turned out well - in the end created more bad than good - but he did, genuinely have good intents. He cries to Thor that he had said that he had TRIED, but he FAILED. He wanted so badly to do the right thing, but his nature is so ingrained to not.
When I say deals - I mean it very loosely. Loki's deals are like a double-edged sword. For example: he made a deal with Surtur, in order to obtain a shadow of his sword and help defeat the Serpent - and yet he ends up dumping him into the location that Surtur did NOT request (later - this bites him back because Surtur wreaks havoc).
Loki does have some love in him, too. Although, the individuals that seem to have his love are few and far between.
When Thor dies, he does blame himself (even though he knew Thor's death saved everyone). Everyone forgot Thor (thanks to a ploy) - and he was the only one that was able to regain his memories of him before Thor returned to the world of the living. He fought hard to regain Thor's memories, and was one of the parties (the other being the Silver Surfer) involved in Thor's revival.
Loki does like the company of others, too. He has Ikol, Thori (a hel-hound puppy), and Leah (Hela's handmaid) at his side, and he frequently takes them (well - not Thori) along when he's working on 'saving' people. He mourned the loss of Leah, he was upset when he discovered that Ikol was in his head, and he really seemed to like Thori, and is upset when he leaves him. This implies that he is capable of forming personal relationships with individuals who are not Thor. It takes time, and it takes work, and there's never really any trust.
But then, who trusts the god of mischief?
Loki is repentant, and is well aware that people do not trust him. He is working, constantly, to try and get people to like him a bit more. Chaos is drawn to him, and he learns quickly that the only way he can help anyone is to use the skills he has always had in order to help.
Loki is silver-tongued and an exceptional liar. People are frequently deceived by him, and he has absolutely no regret with lying to others. He is clever, too, and is very good at formulating plans. Throughout his canon (both before and after reincarnation) - he is constantly plotting, planning, and working to achieve the goal of the day. He is not the least bit trust-worthy, but likewise, he does not trust anyone.
He is very goal driven, and will make deals and trades in order to achieve his goals.
He is above genius intelligence, and he learns things quickly. He is able to luckily change his plans, and is able to quickly formulate a new one. Due to the fact that he IS ancient (thousands of years old possibly) he has a great amount of knowledge. Given, he has forgotten a lot about his previous life (and he seems to be fine with not knowing all of his transgressions), but he still knows about the world.
Loki definitely is not a shy individual. He is more than happy to talk to others, but because of the fact that he is Asgardian, he comes off as awkward and socially unaware at times (for example: "The pad of i" rather than iPad).
In more recent canon - the Young Avengers - Loki appears to have completely changed to the side of "good" (so to speak - he is often the villain, so this is quite the evolution). This would really be the finally step of him changing.
So overall - Loki is an intelligent, driven, reincarnated (so now young) god. He is clever, and maintains the silver tongue and wit of his previous life, but he is now repentant and working towards his redemption. He's not trust worthy, but he's come a long way from throwing someone in the line of fire to further his own plans. In fact, he has proven that he would rather help/be the good guy.
Oh - and did I mention he is as smooth as sandpaper with the ladies?
Abilities:
Loki, upon meeting a magpie (his former self's "soul"), was told that he would not have the same level of powers he once had. While he was once extremely powerful in many categories, he has been restrained because of his reincarnation. However, this doesn't mean to say he has no powers. In fact, Loki is quite strong and clever.
Loki has stated he still has his sorcery, to a much smaller capacity due to his decreased size. Spells that require a large amount of power are just out of his grasp at this time. He can do smaller spells, such as glamor (changing appearance of things/people) and teleportation. Note that magic/spells require energy and in cases of more difficult ones (such as teleportation) it wears him out.
It seems he still has superior speed. He is shown time and time again quickly running ahead of the people that he interacts with. He can run miles quickly, without losing breath, thanks to having a great amount of stamina to pair with his speed.
He also maintains his durability (he gets struck by lightning, and it barely shakes him up). The fact that he is highly durable plays hand in hand with the fact that he is able to regenerate quickly, as well. He is immortal, as well, and will not age as an average person, nor become ill with things the average person would.
Loki is inhumanly, physically strong for a person of his size. It is worth noting that he is short in stature - (under four and a half feet tall), and yet he weighs nearly 200 lbs. He is of slender build, but due to these factors - he is unexpectedly heavy and strong.
Loki is smart and silvertongued. He has proven time and time again that he is a quick learner (he learned a foreign, ancient language basically over night). He is of genius level intellect, and is not shy about using his wit to make sure he stands above others. Loki is proud of the fact that he is smarter than anyone.
He is very skilled at manipulating people and developing plans. And though his basic role has changed, he still uses this skill to his advantage, in order to make deals and 'help'.
How did your character arrive in Rapture? Unhappily teleported here.
Why are you choosing to continue your character's development here from another RP?
Network sample:
[ The video comes on and the person on it seems really unhappy with what's going on. Viewers can see how short he is based on how tall he is next to the others in the city. He's tapping his fingers on the camera several times. ]
This is really unfair. I was in the middle of something. I guess if you're okay with a parasite infecting the Earth, then there's absolutely no need to send me back. What is this place anyway? Certainly nowhere I've ever been, and I've been a lot of places.
[ Shrugs. ]
Then I guess I need a job or something. I really would like a place to live and a place with food. Preferably one that has bacon.
Directions would be good - to food or to the exit.
Log sample:
Loki was displeased. Of course, this wasn't that strange of a thing for him. He found himself in situations that were less than desirable more than once. This place was way different from home, at least, and he certainly hadn't intended to teleport here. He didn't even recall saying the magic words.
He looked around, then - up. What he saw was enough to make the god of mischief, the liesmith with the silver tongue himself stare blankly, confused, for several moments.
"Shark," he said, to himself more than anyone else.
Well, this was different for him, and this gave him a pretty good idea that he was beneath the water. Unless there were flying sharks and fish somewhere to be found on Earth (or perhaps in space). Considering how much he knew about Earth, he was certain there wasn't anything like this - at least on the surface of Earth. There was always the possibility he was under the water on Earth still, though.
Loki preferred to try and find his own way to asking for assistance (although he knew that he would eventually have to cave, as he truly did have no idea where he was).
He would have to be careful, he knew. Strange territory also meant more dangers. What if someone knew who he was here? What if it was someone from home - and not just Earth, but Asgardia?
He opened his mouth, prepared to say the magic word - and snapped his jaw shut. It wouldn't be smart to just disappear from where he was standing since he knew others had seen him.
Time to play up the fact that he looked like, and in most respects was, a nearly sixteen year old boy. He eyed the passersby, and he reached for a pant leg (damning his height for a moment). The person stopped, turned, and looked down on him (he damned his height again - how dare they look down on him?).
"Hello, I'm looking for a way to...travel around this place." His tone was sweet, he needed to be sweet for others to care to answer, after all.
The person, a little older but friendly enough, nodded. She lifted her hand and pointed right. "Down there, turn a bit, you'll find a station. That will help you get around." Although Loki was sure he caught suspicion in her eyes, she said nothing else before continuing on her way.
Well, that was a start for him. He could at least use the station as a way to get around and perhaps find a bar to get a little more information.
