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: Chris Halliwell (inplaceandtime)
CAN LOKI SENSE ANY MAGIC IN YOUR CHARACTER? Oh yes, plenty of it. Not like some sort of superpoweful being or anything, but someone who is clearly very strong in their own world.
IF "YES" WHAT CAN HE SENSE ABOUT THEM? All of his magic is either wiccan or whitelighter magic — which is basically a magical creature's guardian angel. It has been mentioned that the energy whitelighters give off can be "messy" in that they aren't very good at not radiating it. As only half-whitelighter, Chris is a bit more muted.
IF "NO" HOW IS YOUR CHARACTER BLOCKING HIM?
CAN YOUR CHARACTER SENSE LOKI? Nope. He doesn't have those sort of senses.
CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNDERSTAND LOKI? Yes. Chris comes from San Francisco, California, so he would understand Loki as speaking English and probably twig just enough that something is off about the communication method.
CAN LOKI HYPNOTIZE YOUR CHARACTER? Give it your best shot should it ever come up.
CAN LOKI USE CHARMS, ENCHANTMENTS, AND CURSES ON YOUR CHARACTER? Loki certainly can! He may have a small natural immunity, but considering Loki's power levels it shouldn't be much in his way.
CAN LOKI ATTEMPT TO "RECRUIT" YOUR CHARACTER? Loki can try, but Chris would shut him down really quickly.
CAN LOKI MANIPULATE YOUR CHARACTER? Yes, please. Chris has a tendency to getting dragged into trouble, whether he actually means to go along with it or not. While he doesn't fall for the obvious stuff, he can definitely be twisted around someone's finger should the act be subtle enough.
CAN LOKI ASSUME YOUR CHARACTER'S FORM? Oh goodness, please do should it ever come up. That sounds like tragic hilarity.
FURTHER NOTES Not... off the top of my head. May come back to this.


CHARACTER: Sefton Lowell (biomagnet)
CAN LOKI SENSE ANY MAGIC IN YOUR CHARACTER? Sefton does not possess any sort of magical ability.
IF "YES" WHAT CAN HE SENSE ABOUT THEM? ... but he does produce and store ridiculous amounts of biomagnetic energy inside him, which is something Loki may be able to notice?
IF "NO" HOW IS YOUR CHARACTER BLOCKING HIM? See above. Nothing to block in the first place.
CAN YOUR CHARACTER SENSE LOKI? Nein.
CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNDERSTAND LOKI? Sefton's first language is American English, so yes.
CAN LOKI HYPNOTIZE YOUR CHARACTER? Conditionally yes. Likely not on a whim; his psyche is fragile enough that, while I'd love to do it, we should probably figure out a good reason for it.
CAN LOKI USE CHARMS, ENCHANTMENTS, AND CURSES ON YOUR CHARACTER? Same answer as to hypnotism!
CAN LOKI ATTEMPT TO "RECRUIT" YOUR CHARACTER? Suuuuure... Sefton would not be amused and likely remain unswayed by it, however. He is one stubborn li'l jerk.
CAN LOKI MANIPULATE YOUR CHARACTER? Yes. Sefton is smart, suspicious and wary of anyone trying to get close to him or otherwise use him, but he has his weak points like anyone else and, once discovered, might be pathetically easy to string along.
CAN LOKI ASSUME YOUR CHARACTER'S FORM? Go ahead. However, unless Loki can mimic the magnetic energy, Sefton might be able to call him out on it superquick should it come to that.
FURTHER NOTES Sefton has a touch-based power that may or may not interest Loki? Idk.



CHARACTER: Liam McNally (inequal)
CAN LOKI SENSE ANY MAGIC IN YOUR CHARACTER? Depends on what you mean by 'magic' here.
IF "YES" WHAT CAN HE SENSE ABOUT THEM? Liam is a ghost!
IF "NO" HOW IS YOUR CHARACTER BLOCKING HIM? I would presume that when Liam is hiding his presence from anyone and everyone that he would come in muddled and very difficult to read for Loki, unless Loki was focusing on being able to perceive him.
CAN YOUR CHARACTER SENSE LOKI? Perhaps notice a bit something off, but not outright, no.
CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNDERSTAND LOKI? Absolutely.
CAN LOKI HYPNOTIZE YOUR CHARACTER? Legitimate question: can a ghost be hypnotized? Hmmm.
CAN LOKI USE CHARMS, ENCHANTMENTS, AND CURSES ON YOUR CHARACTER? Yes, if it comes to that. Liam is especially susceptible to these sorts of magic.
CAN LOKI ATTEMPT TO "RECRUIT" YOUR CHARACTER? No, because Loki will get far too much laughter should he even begin uttering the words. (By which I mean he can try, sure.)
CAN LOKI MANIPULATE YOUR CHARACTER? Loki is completely free to give it a go. Liam is much less easy to sway compared to my other two, but not immune.
CAN LOKI ASSUME YOUR CHARACTER'S FORM? Sure. He just has to die first.
FURTHER NOTES No siree.
