## History

Loki is the Norse god of Mischief. He is the son of two giants, Fárbauti and Laufey. He is the half-brother to Odin as Laufey had an arranged child with the Asgardian king Borr as part of a truce. His cunning, mischief, and intellect are never to be underestimated as he is ultimately responsible for the death of Baldr.

After the death of Baldr, Loki committed his final offense of insulting the gods until he was chased away by Thor. The Asgardians tracked him down and bound him to a rock with the entrails of his son Narfi, who had been torn to pieces by his son Váli, who had been turned into a ravenous wolf. The faithful Sigyn kept watching over her husband, catching the poison from the serpent that Skadi placed over Loki's head. It was said that, when Sigyn left to empty the bowl, the poison would drip into Loki's eyes. His writhing from the pain caused earthquakes. After a thousand years, his brothers finally tracked him down and freed him from his binds.

## Powers

### *Powers*

* **Asgardian Physiology**
	+ **Superhuman Strength:**Loki possesses the strength to lift upwards of fifty tons. Can augment his strength through magical means.
	+ **Superhuman Durability:**The tissues of Loki's body are super-humanly durable and are roughly equal to those possessed by the average Asgardian male. He is able to withstand high caliber bullets, falls from great heights, powerful impact forces, exposure to temperature extremes and powerful energy blasts without being injured. Can augment his durability further through magical means.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina:**Loki's Frost Giant metabolism grants him superhuman levels of physical stamina in practically all activities. He can exert himself at peak capacity for about 24 hours before fatigue begins to impair him. However, much like his physical strength and durability, Loki can temporarily augment his stamina through magical means.
	+ **Superhuman Longevity:** Like all Asgardians, Loki ages at a far slower rate than humans. However, unlike some other god pantheons like the Olympians, who stop aging completely at a certain point, Loki isn't fully immune to aging. While he is several millennia old, at least, he has the appearance and vitality of a young Asgardian man in his physical prime. Loki is immune to the effects of all known Earthly diseases and infections.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Like all Asgardians, Loki, although he is inhumanly durable, at least by human standards, can still obtain an injury, also like all Asgardians, his metabolism enables him to rapidly regenerate damaged tissue much faster and more extensively than a human being. However, through the use of his sorcery, Loki's ability to heal himself is far above that of other Asgardians. His magical energies are so imbued into his body that he can reattach severed limbs.
* **Sorcery:** Loki has the ability to generate and control a great number of mystical abilities for a variety of purposes, of which can be used to further enhance or augment his physical diagrams, like his speed, strength, and stamina, but only temporarily.
	+ **Telekinesis:** Loki can influence the movement of objects and people with his mind, and as such, this power proves to be devastating and chaotic in nature.
	+ **Psionics:** Loki has demonstrated powerful psionic capabilities, the full limits of which aren't known. He has demonstrated the ability to project his thoughts telepathically across great distances as well as potent hypnotic capabilities. He is able to communicate with beings telepathically, though his ability to do so is greater with beings that serve him.
	+ **Shapeshifting:** Loki possesses highly developed shape-shifting capabilities. He is able to adapt almost any form imaginable whether it be animals, other humanoid beings, or even inanimate objects.
	+ **Decoy Creation:** Creates multiple decoy illusions to confuse enemies.

### *Abilities*

* **Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced):** Loki is a formidable combatant in his own right, specifically with daggers. He combines his magic with his combat skills for maximum effect.
* **Genius Intelligence:** Loki has a genius level intellect and possesses a great deal of knowledge of the mystic arts. He is also extremely cunning and skilled, an expert battle strategist, and highly skilled and charismatic manipulator, which is evident by the ease how Loki repeatedly succeeded to regain the trust of his fellow Asgardians, despite his numerous crimes.
* **Allspeak:** Thanks to the Allspeak Loki can communicate in all of the languages of the Nine Realms, Earth's dialects, and various alien languages.

### *Weaknesses*

* **Cowardice:** Despite being a skilled combatant and being a master sorcerer, Loki is known as somewhat of a coward as he will often time choose to retreat from battle or try to weasel his way out of an embarrassing situation.
* **Magic Limitations:**Loki's abilities are weaker on Midgard than on Asgard or Jötunheimr, as his birth was not of Gaea. Also, while apparently possessing some extrasensory abilities that resemble psionic powers, Loki can not directly read the minds of other beings, nor can he control their actions.

## Paraphernalia

### *Weapons*

* **Sølvskive:** Dagger gave to him by his father.
* **Laevateinn:** Mythical, ancestral sword of Loki. Loki melted the sword down and forged it into a dagger.
