Offensive Subjects: None to speak of, I am hard to offend.
Threadjacking: Obviously, if it's a filtered or encrypted thread then no. Otherwise? Threadjack at will.
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. 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: Sure, if it makes sense for a plot!

Fighting this character: Loki is literally god-tier and is still a formidable opponent outside his Realm. 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.. <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: Meja Urdahl (runeskin)
CAN LOKI SENSE ANY MAGIC IN YOUR CHARACTER?: Yes, plenty. And after this month, she'll be teeming with the stuff.
IF "YES" WHAT CAN HE SENSE ABOUT THEM?: It's Norse (well, actually, Asgardian) runic protective/enhancement magic, from her palms.
IF "NO" HOW IS YOUR CHARACTER BLOCKING HIM?: n/a
CAN YOUR CHARACTER SENSE LOKI?: Not really. Sometimes her runes give her clues, but only in life-and-death situations.
CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNDERSTAND LOKI?: Yup! Her first tongue is Norwegian, followed by English, followed by Icelandic.
CAN LOKI HYPNOTIZE YOUR CHARACTER?: I'd like to think she'd be immune to this, via her runes. But I'd be open to something if it was for the lulz. (I'm so nice to my pups.)
CAN LOKI USE CHARMS, ENCHANTMENTS, AND CURSES ON YOUR CHARACTER?: Meja's runes make her immune to minor magical effects. So it would have to be a powerful one to affect her. Her Loki's already put a very powerful curse on her, so, her runes don't protect her from everything.
CAN LOKI ATTEMPT TO "RECRUIT" YOUR CHARACTER?: At this point, he can attempt all he'd like, but he'd never get anywhere. She's pretty jaded as far as gods are concerned. (Why couldn't they work out their damn apocalypse themselves? Sheesh.)
CAN LOKI MANIPULATE YOUR CHARACTER?: Meja can be far too nice/trusting for her own good, so he can certainly try! The cat will be out of the bag the second she knows who he is, though. She'll be willing to give him a try as far as tentative friendship is concerned, but the second he does something kinda shifty... She'll lineface. Especially since the Loki in her world is going to continue to be a pain in the butt.
CAN LOKI ASSUME YOUR CHARACTER'S FORM?: Sure.
FURTHER NOTES: Nope.

CHARACTER NAME/JOURNAL USERNAME: Raven (featherdream)
CAN LOKI SENSE ANY MAGIC IN YOUR CHARACTER?: A lot. Yes. His own permissions post has more info.
IF "YES" WHAT CAN HE SENSE ABOUT THEM?: See here.
IF "NO" HOW IS YOUR CHARACTER BLOCKING HIM?: n/a
CAN YOUR CHARACTER SENSE LOKI?: He's a magical critter, so, yes. He won't know what Loki is, just that he's clearly more than meets the eye.
CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNDERSTAND LOKI?: Yes. He can also communicate with any sentient creature through the mind.
CAN LOKI HYPNOTIZE YOUR CHARACTER?: He would have to try really, really hard to get Raven's big ol' mind to disconnect. But it could happen!
CAN LOKI USE CHARMS, ENCHANTMENTS, AND CURSES ON YOUR CHARACTER?: Yes.
CAN LOKI ATTEMPT TO "RECRUIT" YOUR CHARACTER?: Raven finds religion very odd due to his backstory, and doesn't believe in "higher" powers, so recruiting wouldn't be successful. He could try.
CAN LOKI MANIPULATE YOUR CHARACTER?: He can try!
CAN LOKI ASSUME YOUR CHARACTER'S FORM?: Raven has many, many forms, but Loki can feel free to assume the ones he's seen.
FURTHER NOTES: The "Loki" in his world is his crazy youngest brother. He'll be a bit wary.

CHARACTER NAME/JOURNAL USERNAME: Octavo (eightdead)
CAN LOKI SENSE ANY MAGIC IN YOUR CHARACTER?: Nope. Completely mundane as far as magic is concerned.
IF "YES" WHAT CAN HE SENSE ABOUT THEM?: n/a
IF "NO" HOW IS YOUR CHARACTER BLOCKING HIM?: n/a
CAN YOUR CHARACTER SENSE LOKI?: Nope.
CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNDERSTAND LOKI?: Yes. She speaks English.
CAN LOKI HYPNOTIZE YOUR CHARACTER?: Sure!
CAN LOKI USE CHARMS, ENCHANTMENTS, AND CURSES ON YOUR CHARACTER?: Sure!
CAN LOKI ATTEMPT TO "RECRUIT" YOUR CHARACTER?: Octavo is a faithless sociopath, but he could try to get her to connect with a 'higher power'.
CAN LOKI MANIPULATE YOUR CHARACTER?: Generally she's very good at sensing when someone's lying, because she lies constantly to cover up what a monster she is. But Loki's been doing it longer, so feel free.
CAN LOKI ASSUME YOUR CHARACTER'S FORM?: Sure.
FURTHER NOTES: As I said before, sociopath. Also a serial killer, back home. Fun stuff!

CHARACTER NAME/JOURNAL USERNAME: Black Waltz Three (toolofdestruction)
CAN LOKI SENSE ANY MAGIC IN YOUR CHARACTER?: Three is mostly a magical creature, so yes.
IF "YES" WHAT CAN HE SENSE ABOUT THEM?: Waltzes and Mages, in his world, are actually recycled souls with a lot of magic fused to them. If you want him to figure that out, go ahead. He can also use elemental magic (fire, ice and lightning) as an offensive capability.
IF "NO" HOW IS YOUR CHARACTER BLOCKING HIM?: n/a
CAN YOUR CHARACTER SENSE LOKI?: He could sense Loki's magic. But that's about it, since things like him don't exist in Three's world (that he knows of); it wouldn't even occur to him.
CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNDERSTAND LOKI?: Three probably speaks "Common" or something. Essentially it's Gaia's identical version of English, spoken throughout the world. That's it, though.
CAN LOKI HYPNOTIZE YOUR CHARACTER?: Sure.
CAN LOKI USE CHARMS, ENCHANTMENTS, AND CURSES ON YOUR CHARACTER?: Sure.
CAN LOKI ATTEMPT TO "RECRUIT" YOUR CHARACTER?: He could try if he liked. Three has no concept of religion or gods.
CAN LOKI MANIPULATE YOUR CHARACTER?: Sure, and he'd probably find it pretty easy once he got past Three's tough shell.
CAN LOKI ASSUME YOUR CHARACTER'S FORM?: Sure.
FURTHER NOTES: n/a
