Loki

**Loki** is the Norse giant god of chaos and mischief.

## History

Loki was a frost giant who delights in causing trouble and disarray. He also created various monsters, from Fenrir the wolf to Sleipnir the eight-legged horse.

Eventually, his mischief and sabotage in Asgard culminated with him tricking Hodr into killing his brother Baldr. It was also due to a game where he and the other gods hurt Baldr to mock his near-invincibility and his anxiety over his impending death. Angered by the murder of the fairest of the gods, they hunted Loki and tied him against a rock, where he drinks sips of venom from a snake's mouth until the end of the world.

## In the Rabydosverse

The Jerdiskar often depict him as sadistic, cruel, and barbaric, delighting in ruin, suffering, torture, and despair. Some people even consider him a devil for his actions against the gods. His love of chaos and disorder later became associated with him being a god of murderers. Because "jotunn" is translated as "giant", Loki is depicted as an enormous, lanky man. Some artworks depict him as taller than ordinary men and even Odin, while others have Odin being taller than Loki.

The Freyrgardians refer Loki as "**Loskar**", meaning "the tearer" or "the ripper", which became the name other alien civilisations used for the dreaded jotunn. He was also known by other horrible names:

* the Dark Lord
* the Dark God
* the Lord of Darkness
* the Lord of Hate
* the Lord of Murder
* the King of Torment
* the Tearer of Nations
* the Bringer of Ignorance
* the Reckless One
* the Butcher
* the Devil
* the Tyrant of Hell
* the Lord of Hell
* the Instigator
* the Slaughterer
* Total Ruin

His name, alongside that of the hell known as Nastrond, is used as a curse.

### In legends

In one popular epic from the Lysandrean Empire, his daughter, the disfigured goddess Hel, built a realm from the chaos outside the universe to house the righteous dead. One day, Loskar (Loki) broke into the realm, demanding Hel to give him a tribute of souls. She stopped Loskar from tearing an innocent man's soul by dragging him back to her side, and fought her father. After Loskar scarred her face, she defeated him and cast him out of Paradise.

Loskar represented necromancers, who abuse the dead and deny them from finding peace; and to some extent, cannibals and other evil people who desecrate the dead.

Because Loskar was formerly Odin's blood brother, only to betray him to enjoy the ruin he selfishly caused, Loskar was denounced in Galactic folklore as the ultimate traitor.

### The Tragedy of President Larosk

In one urbanised world, a strange human was elected for his high intelligence. Although some worlds avoided him because of his supposed similarities to Loskar (Loki), he remained popular and loved for eliminating crime and bringing stability to that world. That man was Larosk Liroskir, a black-haired man.

Although Larosk was well-behaved, brave, and had a sense of humour, every night, he was tormented by a shadow. That shadow referred itself as Raskol, revealing that Larosk was either Loki himself or one of his sons who happened to look like a handsome human.

He managed to overcome his shadow-demon by his sheer will, channeling his inner love of destruction into paintings that were enjoyed by the orderly people. But on his birthday, and the exact day of his inauguration, Raskol appeared again before he slept. The demon threatened that he will override Larosk the longer he stays as a mortal. Tormented, he beat himself, refusing to accept the chaos within himself.

He felt that he had no choice but to give up his mortal form. So on the third day, he resigned, and jumped out of the balcony. Before he touched the ground, he vanished, and reappeared in every television screen to wish his people farewell. However, he occasionally showed up when his people were in danger, using his jotunn magic to defend them from his enemies - including his father, Loki himself.

Raskol never married, though he occasionally fell in love with three fleeting women. He did return to his latest girlfriend, and took her to his heavenly palace where they married.

### Malendor mythology

*"Aikïl, aidïsroi, aimöndro. Ai dïjïttol vru Lôskar, Ai anlïska Häos, teuro, an deâve. Häil Lôskar, Häil Tärra; Häil, Loruto Vrîdam; Ai srevo neuvan bas maisreva!"*

("I kill, I destroy, I murder. I do it all for Loki, I unleash Chaos, terror, and death. Hail Loki, Hail Terra, Lord of Freedom! I serve no one but myself!") - a Terran curse uttered by Konjor soldiers, transcribed in the Novantirna language.

In the Novantirna mythology of the Malendor Supercorporation, Loki (known as Laskoi) is seen as the embodiment of discord, social collapse, and recklessness. He is depicted as a powerful arch-demon, a god of evil served by countless monstrous beings and his creations. Among the horrors of the Lokist hordes were the Terran armies of the Konjors, dedicated to him by their masters for their unusualy cruelty and recruited into their ranks, and then brutalised into tortured killing machines as a mockery of their fanatical views.

His number is 789.

In the religion of the Malendor Supercorporation, all Terrans are considered as belonging to Loki, due to their unusual forms of cruelty and their bizarre, violent, and hypocritical attitudes. Malendors believe that Terran people were the creations of Loki, therefore technically making these "demons" as jotnar.

Keyboard warriors, a large amount of Terran people, were considered as the worst of his children because of their outlandishly hostile behaviour.

The English language, one of the main languages used by the Terran warmongers, was despised as the "language of Loki", and when Terrans die in Malendor territory, their funerals were dedicated to Loki, returning the cursed soul of a demon back to its creator. Malendors avoid using English, but if they are unfortunate enough to understand it, they usually speak and pronounce it in a growling manner. In later times, because of the alleged evil nature of that language, it was used in horror movies and appropriated as a language of entertainment.

### Sleipnir

In the Sleipnir cartoon, he is depicted as the main character's creator, who designed him either with a scientific experiment or with dark sorcery. His depiction in the cartoon is a man with a horned helmet, a long black beard, and green robes like those worn by a wizard. As he abused Sleipnir and scolded him for his lack of cruelty, Odin rescued him. One day, Sleipnir found out the truth of his origins as an experiment of Loki, created with dark magic. Although Sleipnir was worried that him being a creation of Loki will make him evil, Odin assured him that he can avoid being corrupted by learning to resist Loki's sorcery.

## In the Collectionverse

Ludvig once cosplayed as Loki, poking fun of his own name, his Norwegian descent, and his red hair.

## In the Rinnarverse

As Loki was one of the great enemies of the Aesir and Vanir, the Nordic State and its Vetarbroitar descendants reviled him as their counterpart of Satan. He is often depicted as a skeleton in dark armour, wreathed in the unholy fires of Nastrond. So strong was the Vetarbroitar's hatred of Loki, that they condemned him as the patron god and the arch-emperor of the Earth Union, and associated every evil deed in human history to him. To the Vetarbroitar, the symbol of Loki and the Earth Union that he supposedly rules over, is a bar with several sickles forming a cross.

The Farsiders even killed people as sacrifices to Loki, believing that they are returning the souls of their enemies to their master, who will then devour them. They also referred their enemies, especially Unionites, antitheists, and followers of the Abrahamic religions as "children of Loki".

## Trivia

* Loki should *not* be confused with the fire giant Logi, the brother of the sea god Aegir.
* Larosk was inspired by President Loki, and stories about an inner demon; or perhaps the author's fear of voices in his head, his OCD.

## Trivia

* Illujankas, another lord of chaos
* Faneson, another "dark god"
* Demons
* Ravana, still another "dark lord" that is instead honoured as a hero to other "monsters"
