Backtagging: I am perfectly happy to backtag
Fourthwalling: I don't mind.

---General Info/Permissions---

Medical info: While Loki looks human, he...isn't. He's a Frost Giant trapped in the form of an Aesir. This gives him a pretty high body density, so he weighs more than he looks like he would (525 lbs).

What's okay to mention around him: Anything is fair game, but he may not always react well.

Notes for the psychics: Loki has some very powerful shields in place against psychic probing so odds are that your character cannot read him. If they are a particularly powerful or well disciplined mentalist they might be able to detect surface thoughts but he's bound to know you're digging around in there.

Detecting his true nature: If your character has canonical abilities that could allow them to sense Loki's true nature as a god and sorcerer, they'll work unless he's cloaking himself. If you're not sure whether or not he's cloaking, ask me!

Abilities: Quite a few (scroll down)

Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: Well, ask me first but I can't imagine why not.

Using spells on this character: Loki can weather nearly all types of magic since he's been honing his own skills with the arcane to mastery for centuries. Canonically, he can power through blows that should decimate him and resist charms and enchantments from other casters. However, he has also been influenced by spells when caught with his guard down, and his reincarnation on the ship has weakened him a bit. So! If it makes sense for a plot, I'll probably be fine with it!

Hugging/kissing/other non-violent physical contact: Sure. Loki might not enjoy it, but he has enough self control to not react with violence. If things get to be too "touchy" he'll try to remove himself from the situation. However, if someone attempts to touch him while he's in one of his moods...there will be violence.

Flirting: If you...want?

Maim/murder/death: Probably not on death, but that's only because of the death rules of ataraxion. Maiming though? Sure, if it makes sense for a plot!

Fighting this character: Loki is literally god-tier and is still a formidable opponent on board the Tranquility. I am totally okay with people fighting him but keep in mind that most characters are very likely to lose against him in a 1 vs 1 scenario. Consider him a "raid boss". Beating him requires strategic thinking and teamwork!

--PERMISSIONS FORM---

As a sorcerer and god, Loki has the ability to feel the flow of magic around him and sense magic in others.

Also, as a mischievous god (one with a desperate need to hear praise thanks to a giant, fragile ego), Loki may attempt to find worshipers amongst the desperate. He'd offer "blessings" (or enchantments, since he can't actually bless anything) or his general assistance in exchange for devotion.

<b>CHARACTER NAME/JOURNAL USERNAME</b>: <b>CAN LOKI SENSE ANY MAGIC IN YOUR CHARACTER?</b>: <b>IF "YES" WHAT CAN HE SENSE ABOUT THEM?</b>: <b>IF "NO" HOW IS YOUR CHARACTER BLOCKING HIM?</b>: There is no wrong answer to this and you can leave this blank if you just want him to be generally clueless. I just ask so I can play things out with you a bit more accurately. <b>CAN YOUR CHARACTER SENSE LOKI?</b>: <b>CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNDERSTAND LOKI?</b>: Loki speaks in the All-Tongue, which means if your character is a native speaker of any Earth-based (or Marvel-based) language, they will understand him as if he were speaking in their most comfortable tongue. People who are sensitive to magic, or are just incredibly astute, may notice something odd about his speech and recognize that it's not exactly the same as the language they're speaking, but they'd still be able to understand it. On the ship, people have nano machines installed that breach the language barriers so by default you should be able to understand him anyway. <b>CAN LOKI HYPNOTIZE YOUR CHARACTER?</b>: I'll always ask but let me know if you'd rather he never tries or if your character is immune. <b>CAN LOKI USE CHARMS, ENCHANTMENTS, AND CURSES ON YOUR CHARACTER?</b>: Again, I will always ask first but let me know if you'd rather he never try or if your character is immune. <b>CAN LOKI ATTEMPT TO "RECRUIT" YOUR CHARACTER?</b>: I will always ask before Loki tries to get someone to pray to him. And if any character ever does pray to him, I will always offer ways out of it. But if the very idea of this bothers you, let me know, and I won't have him try this on your character. (If this is something you WOULD like to try out, you can drop me a line here too!) <b>CAN LOKI MANIPULATE YOUR CHARACTER?</b>: Tricksters are the most manipulative of the ancient character archetypes. They aren't the ones that blow up post offices. They're the ones that go "blow up this post office and I'll give you a cookie!". Loki is particularly masterful at this, having been doing it for centuries now. I'll always ask you before Loki drags your character into his drama but if you would rather he just never try, let me know. By default, the most he'll do is try to convince your character to either like him or fear him. That is CR-based and whether your character goes along with it is entirely up to you. <b>CAN LOKI ASSUME YOUR CHARACTER'S FORM?</b>: I will always ask first but again let me know if you'd rather this never happen. <b>FURTHER NOTES</b>: Anything else you feel I should know?

Also: Given that he IS a Trickster, I can have him just never interact with your characters at all, if that is your preference.

CHARACTER NAME/JOURNAL USERNAME: Konoe (tailcrook)
CAN LOKI SENSE ANY MAGIC IN YOUR CHARACTER?: Yes!
IF "YES" WHAT CAN HE SENSE ABOUT THEM?: Konoe is a Sanga, so tl;dr he stuffed with a musical power that can be channeled into his partner (his Touga) to strengthen them and make them faster.
IF "NO" HOW IS YOUR CHARACTER BLOCKING HIM?: He can tone it down, but it's nothing he can block, per se.
CAN YOUR CHARACTER SENSE LOKI?: Somewhat? He'll definitely feel a strange pressure in his presence.
CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNDERSTAND LOKI?: He may hear a distant form of Latin-esque cat-speak.
CAN LOKI HYPNOTIZE YOUR CHARACTER?: He could!
CAN LOKI USE CHARMS, ENCHANTMENTS, AND CURSES ON YOUR CHARACTER?: Yup!
CAN LOKI ATTEMPT TO "RECRUIT" YOUR CHARACTER?: Not his thing, so emphasis on "attempt" - but yeah, it's fine.
CAN LOKI MANIPULATE YOUR CHARACTER?: I can't see why he couldn't...!
CAN LOKI ASSUME YOUR CHARACTER'S FORM?: I'd have to discuss it first, but for the time being it sounds fine!
FURTHER NOTES: Before he arrived on the Tranquility he was already dealing with a powerful dark wizard, so he's forever wary of magic that he can't sense good in. In part, too, since he has a very strong sense of empathy - especially in response to negative emotions. Fun fun fun.
