The Trickster God

[loki laufeyson]

Loki Laufesyon
God of Mischief - Jotun, Male
Twisted, Bitter, Misunderstood

Loki is a being who has been misunderstood by most who have ever known him. Many call him the god of lies, the god of mischief, and the god of evil, but the title that fits him best is Trickster. He has, from a very young age, felt out of place and alone even when among his brother and friends. Always, it seemed, his father favored his older brother, even though both were told they were capable of being king. Thor was always the 'true' heir, the one Odin loved more. It wasn't until modern times on Midgard that Loki discovered why and it almost broke him. Driven mad with rage, pain, and betrayal, he did many things that were not the best choices but were all he felt he could do to prove that he was Thor's equal and just as worthy of notice and love. He does not believe anyone could truly care for him, only the idea of him, and therefore keeps everyone at arms length. He's also of the belief that everyone is out to stab him in the back, and for the most part this hasn't been proven wrong. Yet.

Any relationship with Loki is bound to be strained at the best of times. Friends are likely to find themselves lashed out at, their intentions questioned, and their words and support spit back in their face - particularly at first, while Loki's still reeling from everything that happened to him. Most people will see Loki as an arrogant and distant god who finds that he is better than everyone and who would rather rule over them than work alongside them. And for the most part, they'd be right.

Friends will quickly find that Loki's way of saying 'thanks' is venom filled words and hate filled actions. He's just as likely to repay a moment of kindness with a dagger to the back as he is any sort of acknowledgement that something was done in the first place. On the rare occasion that he allows himself to express what he's really feeling, friends will remember why they wanted to help him in the first place - when he's not completely off his rocker and trying to take over the world, he's quiet, rather lonely, and incredibly grateful to any genuine attention and action aimed his way. Good luck getting past that icy wall though.

Enemies are easy for Loki to make, and many former friends can now be counted here - Thor and most of Asgard among them. With his sneaky lies and manipulative ways, most people are prone to an instant dislike, though his continued disregard for others and their well being tends to drive that dislike straight into loathing. He feels just as strongly about his enemies as they tend to about him, and if he's aware of one who he feels is out to get him, he'll attack with far more force than necessary to prove that he can best them. This often backfires on him and reveals how unpredictable he really is.

While Loki is perfectly capable of love and romantic feelings, the only people he's ever felt that way about betrayed him, leaving his views on such things bitter and jaded. He believes that no one would truly care about him that way and anyone who claims they are is simply after something from him - money, power, or simply a good time - they don't want any lasting relationship and he'll soon be hurting again. This belief results in his keeping them at arms length and lashing out at anyone who tries to make any sort of advance on him.

So this scene was absolutely flawless. Not until I make him kill you. Slowly, intimately, in every way he knows you fear... Natasha has some pretty mixed feelings about Loki. They range between pure hatred of him and wanting to run like a scared child. Of course, the hatred always comes out on top, especially for what he did to Clint and Coulson. So if she ended up in the same room as him again (which obviously she will or I wouldn't be writing this xD) she wouldn't hesitate to pull a gun or two on him.

And here is the sucky thread xD

Loki and Natasha
I'm sooooo sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this. I fell asleep earlier. ><;

I loved that scene myself. Loki's feelings for Natasha swing between distrust and caution and absolute loathing since she was able to trick him. Since being brought back he's fairly certain that each of the Avengers is going to have a go at him and he's been trying to plot out how to return the favor - or one up them and do something first.

If [or rather, when] she gets him into the same room as her and pulls weapons, he's likely to use words to lash out/defend himself until he can get enough magic to conjure an illusion or something of the sort. If he doesn't just outright try to overpower her since he still thinks mortals are weak - aside from Bruce. Bruce scares him, though he'll never admit to that. Maybe she could work that out of him, somehow?

I really can't wait to write this out. xD

Puny God xD lol ignore me. HULK MOMENT. I pretty much picture them as enemies, given that she is a hero. Usually the hero types throw curve balls, into evildoers plans and whatnot. Hahah. She has a unique skill set, that he could manipulate to his advantage? I dunno.

Haha, Hulk moments are amusing. Even if Loki doesn't think so. Probably enemies, yes considering that even though he's back and supposed to be playing nice - it's Loki, he's angry, he's hurt, and he's still of the opinion that he's better than anyone in Midgard [minus the Hulk, perhaps - but that's more out of sheer brute strength than anything].

Once he gets a look at her powers he'll probably start to plot on how he can use her for his own purposes, and start weaving silvery words around her. He's very much cracked still, and I believe it's going to take a LOT to uncrack him. Particularly since he's so very bitter and jaded.

BTW.. If Loki ever gets his hands on Clint again, he will die a slow and painful death thanks to Natasha. Saw your post in Clint's plot page and couldn't help myself

emma && loki

manipulating bffs? Emma may be a superhero now, but that doesn't mean she is gonna be ms little goody two shoes. Her main interests isn't protecting humanity as a whole, but protecting mutants. So she would totally make some secret under the table agreements with Loki, as long as they serve her interests.

However Emma won't publicly support Loki, trust him, or go out of her way to aid him. The White Queen has spent her entire life around people like Loki, heck she is a manipulating bitch herself, and she believes that Loki will stab her in the back. Furthermore she doesn't have a whole lot of allies right now. So she isn't really interested to get into trouble and have S.H.I.E.L.D. or the Avengers knocking on her door.

However Emma will generally be straight forward and honest with Loki unless she knows she can get away with lying to him. The White Queen is smart enough to not start a fight with a god without a really good reason.
