character information
● name: Loki Laufeyson
● canon: Marvel-616
● canon point: Post ego-death, Agent of Asgard comics.
● age: 21/1050

● (canon) background: marvel wiki
● (original) world: n/a

● abilities:

( ✖ )
● ALL-TONGUE When Loki speaks with the All-Tongue anyone who hears him will hear him speak their native language in their hearts.
● ASGARDIAN ABILITIES Superhuman Strength/Stamina/Longevity, Dense Tissue/Durability, Regenerative Healing. Loki, without the aid of anything, through his own biology, possesses superhuman strength that is substantially superior to that of an average Asgardian male. Tissue is three times denser than a human's. Rapid regenerative healing powers (able to accelerate more than that of a normal Asgardian). He can exert himself at peak capacity for about 24 hours before fatigue begins to impair him. Immune to the effects of all known Earthly diseases and infections.
● NOTABLE MAGICAL POSSESSIONS These are items Loki owns and calls to his side: Svartalfheim shadowthread coat of invisibility, Seven-League boots that allow him to walk on insubtantial surfaces (up glass/waterfalls/on clouds etc), Laevateinn his ancestral sword which cuts through any hide, Gram the sword of truth, Lorelei's invisibility amulet.
● ASTRAL PROJECTION From Wiki: 'casting his thoughts across great distances — even across dimensional barriers, like that between Asgard and Earth — even if he is unable to move.' Essentially, Loki can send a copy of himself somewhere and depending on his level of strength it will resemble him without fault. During his YA run when his power was sapped by guilt, his projection was extremely weak.
● SORCERY As the God of Mischief, the Liesmith and Silvertongue, Loki's powers fall firmly on the "What The Fuck Was That" scale. Illusions are his foremost source of trade, although as he says, "Me? I can do finesse. Anything one can manage with a wand and a word is within my skillful purview." Magic for Loki is "Taking a Lie and making it Truth" (molecular rearrangement) which essentially boils down to dickering about with anything he pleases and twisting it to suit his means. Grimoires, cryptonomicons, "I've got an AD&D manual somewhere". He can whip up Norn Runes on objects and generally botch together some highly effective shit with whatever is lying around, which is how the Trickster rolls. This also allows him to teleport, now without even simple words such as 'Elsewhere'.
● SHAPE-SHIFTING An innate ability to transform into anything as long as he retains his sense of self. "I can turn into myself, that's no problem. I can turn into anything, as long as it's me." Women, animals, etc, all are fair game. Once he even turned into a rainbow unicorn. EDIT: With the release of TUSG#12 Loki offered to do "great impressions" of any celebrity, then proceeded to turn into a giant-headed Cat Thor. It may be his shape-shifting has a broader range of ability than specified by Ewing in AOA or he was being literal: he can turn into anything as long as he is comfortable being it.
● SWORDSMANSHIP Agile, skilled and strong enough to hold his own against Thor.
● TELEPATHY/TELEKINESIS From WIKI: He cannot read the minds of other beings, although he can influence their actions, and once briefly hypnotized Thor, as well as controlling a flock of birds. However he could not coerce Thor to give him Mjolnir [...] he can influence other events to a degree, such as driving a missile from its path, or redirecting a radio signal. He is also seen telekinetically teaching Billy.
● TELEPORTATION (+INTER-DIMENSIONAL TRAVEL) Even in a weak child's body, Loki was able to skip dimensions and arrange a meeting with America on Earth-212. (INTER-DIMENSIONAL TRAVEL NERFED IN RIVERVIEW)
● REALITY WARPING Loki's power of twisting the truth into lies is classified as a kind of reality-warping not unlike the power of the Scarlet Witch and her son Wiccan, from using a type of hammer-space to embed his apartment secretly in a building to summoning items he seemingly calls into his grasp from nowhere (eg, a megaphone for Squirrel Girl that pops out of thin air when he snaps his fingers). He is essentially a mythoform that messes with the narrative of reality (the reason he later in comics becomes the God of Stories) but who in his recent acquisition of sanity refers to the overuse of power as a big red button, tempering his use of magic accordingly.

● strengths:

● CONSCIENCE It sounds ridiculous, but Loki's biggest flaw (and championing hope for redemption) is his overwhelming sense of guilt and loyalty to his friends. This isn't to say he won't lie and trick and scheme, yet when using the Sword of Truth and faced with the tormented vision of Kid!Loki whom he murdered, he chanted "I'm sorry, I'm sorry". The whole reason he worked for the All-Mother was to clear his former iteration's record as payment for said tasks, as he was then of an adult age (King Loki, it's worth noting, also bargained for the same thing).
● BRAVERY Despite being a Loki, Ikol is undoubtedly one of the braver iterations. When in Latveria he was scared to use Gram to help clear the minds of innocents and the Sword of Truth forced him to face his own fears, yet he succeeded. He shows up when one of his evil schemes from a past life starts hurting people, accepts responsibility that earns him the respect of Squirrel Girl, and is there to help shut down disasters of his own making. He even fights alongside other supervillains to save the heroes on Genosha when the Red Skull attempts to kickstart World War Hate.
● COMPASSION His ability to love is no longer fearfully guarded. With the introduction of Verity Willis he gains a mortal best friend for whom he cares deeply, and one of his greatest sources of misery is that Thor will never love him back since Ikol killed his previous iteration whom Thor considered more 'real', reduced to begging on his knees in front of all Asgard for Thor to come back. He's no longer sadistic, enjoying being liked and determined to be 'Better' in order to prove he is worth it.

● weaknesses:

● SELF-CRITICISM No one is a bigger critic of Loki than Loki, hating how he used to be a mad old man locked in the same cycle of being a predictable bad guy. He keeps himself in line by never overstepping his own rules, only killing warriors in battle and showing an almost enthusiastic, concerned kindness to innocents and young heroes following his murder of Kid Loki and after he nearly convinced Wiccan to commit suicide. Loki is very conscious of his actions and influence, knowing that if he goes off the rails he can be his own and everyone else's biggest enemy.
● LYING His strongest ability is wordsmithy yet Loki often lies in situations where he needn't, mostly out of self-defence. Lately he has been learning that opening up (with Verity) doesn't always lead to unhappy endings.
● GUILT Wracked with guilt over the murder of an innocent child, he frequently sees visions o the boy screaming I am the crime that will not be forgiven! When a fleet of Angels were eager to slaughter Asgardian babies, Loki literally shipped them off to their death in a fiery explosion.

● skills (optional): No job to begin with, he'll be nosing about everywhere for a while.
● housing (optional): Anywhere is fine!

● network username: The same as his canon Instagram account, LOKIOFASGARD

I have located the REALM ETERNAL!!! :-O NO KIDDING, OLD ASGARD HAS SURVIVED!!!! [ Sure is a selfie here of Loki waving enthusiastically from the top of a dilapidated old castle somewhere in a run-down amusement park. He's in the Abandoned City, salty and free to take as many jabs at Freyja as he pleases post ego-death and motherly betrayal-of-the-century. ] Guys, check it out ... I found the THRONE ROOM!!

[ Follow-up shot shows a rotten, overgrown canteen. In the lap of a broken, creepy-looking plastic pig decoration affixed to the wall is a cheap patio chair. Loki looks nothing short of awe-struck in a corner of the picture, gazing up at the swine's frozen grin with a tear in his eye. ]
