Profile

Loki Odinson of Asgard and Jotunheim. The God of Chaos, Trickery, Lies. He is known to have attempted to enslave New York during a bout of youthful exuberance. It was a a dire effort with repercussions that shook the world at the time and led to the Avengers being formed. Since that time he has laid low paid for his crimes at least to the appeasement of his father and family. But the mortals may carry a grudge of some sort, assuredly.

Description

ExpandClick to expand.

Long, curly, raven-black hair falls upon the shoulders of the man that stands before you. His angular face and haughty expression looks upon you with appraising, emerald green eyes, cold and emotionless. His handsome visage reflects the arrogant demeanor of someone who always seems to know the answer. To everything. Tall, over 6'3" in height, and lithe, the man moves with a grace and precision that would rival the most versatile of Gods. He appears to be young, in his 30s, little revealing that the man was several hundred, if not thousands, of years old.

Loki is currently wearing dark black and emerald green leathers, form fitting and comfortable. Gold, metallic armour highlights permeat the dark colours, giving a brighter cast to the outfit. His long overcoat reflects the same colours as his pants and his tunic. The material is Asgardian, and able to withstand the harshest elements. His boots appear to be well worn, dark black and emerald in colour, and comfortable.

History

ExpandClick to expand.

Despite what legend tells you, King Laufey of Jotunheim and Queen Farbauti had a son. Let that be a lesson to you humans twist facts in favour of good storytelling. Along came a terrible war yet again with the mighty realm of Asgard, and they cast aside their tiny infant son to die when Odin the All-Father struck. He took the child away to be raised as his own son in Asgard, sharing the royal nursery and tutors with Thor Odinson and, later, Balder.

Due to my princely rank, I spent much of my time fighting and exploring as royal brothers do. Fighting with my brother is a pointless activity and I finally smartened up, seeing another path to power and respect. Frigga, the queen and my mother, taught me sorcery as she saw my intellect was wasted with sparring. I devoured her libraries and mastered my craft, sent to the best teachers in the Nine Realms. Magic would secure Asgard and my family's respect. So I liked to think, fool that I was.

My golden brother was the Asgardian image of a prince, attended by awestruck lackeys while I did the hard work. Second sons never get a break, and Mother's consolation only stretched so far. I resented he saw every problem as a nail for Mjolnir and shared no credit. Being the dark brother, the 'smart one' in a warrior culture, grows very wearying. So perhaps I played the part, pricked by resentment or simply boredom. Favouritism was hindering my growth.

I branched out into other dimensions. I bore court messages and schemes of my own, always in Asgard's service and sometimes in my own. Odin would welcome me back as often as he kept me at arm's length. The old man plays a cruel game, worse than any my detractors blame me for. He banished his own son. I rebelled, true, but how else was Thor going to return to his proper role required of him? Midgard has turned me into a dread enemy for ensorcelling a few humans in New York, but they gained the Avengers for it. As if my purposes are so petty or base. Alas, it takes great insight to see that, and so few people here have it.

Personality

ExpandClick to expand.

Loki is an extraordinarily complex individual, displaying the mask he wants the rest of the world to see. For all his apparently mercurial, extroverted ways, his behaviour is a highly calculated act. No one is welcome to see deeper than the surface except as he desires. He prefers a highly energetic, wry, charming demeanor with a trace of amusement. Rarely does he ever display anything close to his true colours, in part to make it easier for his opponents to vastly underestimate him and his allies to have little idea of what he's really up to. All the better given how utterly ruthless and ambitious he can be in an effort to prove himself to the universe at large. The chip on his shoulder is roughly the size of Pluto. Underneath he is a conflicted ball of desires and penchants, all ruled by an iron will and wounds inflicted by some fairly serious issues about his place in the world. Loki allows next to none to be privy to his innermost thoughts, though he is direly aware of his shortcomings, needs, and goals.

Abilities

ExpandClick to expand.

ALL-SPEAK
Loki has the gift of All-Speak, allowing him to communicate with any sentient being in its own tongue. This understanding extends into his mental magics, like telepathy.

ASGARDIAN
For all intents and purposes, Loki became Asgardian the moment Odin officially adopted him. The rituals performed by the All-Father using the Odinforce irrevocably altered him at the molecular level, adding all the inherited traits of the Aesir race to his enhanced attributes as a jotun. He is entirely unique among his people, however, for all the traits he shares.

As an Asgardian, he enjoys a greatly enhanced lifespan and supernatural durability, strength, agility, and stamina. Though he is slimmer than the average Asgardian male, he doesn't lack for the physical gifts of his kind. His genetic makeup renders him practically immune to any toxins, poisons, diseases, and illnesses, although he can certainly be affected by magical deleterious conditions -- a good reason he doesn't cross certain lords of Hell or Hela often.

GENIUS
Among the Ten Realms, Loki has one of the most gifted minds known. In Asgard, his intelligence is a barely concealed state secret, and cause for perpetual concern for Odin. What yardstick can measure a man able to outwit the Norns and fathom the patterns of Ragnarok, devise elaborate spells, and perceive the plots and schemes woven for millennia by supernatural beings after merely brushing up against them? He mastered lifetimes of sorcery in his adolescence and honed his intellect to razor sharpness, compensating for his physical limitations. He reacts long before others even notice a problem. The altered structure of his mind allows him to maintain several thought processes simultaneously. Frequently he uses magic to enhance his comprehension, sensory perception, and reaction times.

IMMORTALITY
Unlike the Asgardians, Loki may be truly immortal. He does not share their dependency on the apples of Idunn to prevent aging, but naturally ages at an incredibly slow rate. Extreme injury, decapitation or an obliterating force can temporarily kill him, but he will reincarnate as a new, uninjured body complete with his previous memories intact in a variable period of time. This fact he would rather not share with his enemies or allies, thank you.

JOTUN HYBRID
Jotun (frost giants) are the native race of Jotunheim ("Giant Home"), one of the Ten Realms and the eternal foes of Asgard. Loki was born as a frost giant but transfigured into an Asgardian by Odin. His frost giant physiology renders him immune to any kind of cold. Loki cannot be harmed by the ultra-cold temperatures of space or temperature fluctuations. He does not suffer hypothermia or frostbite, nor can his body be impacted by supernatural ice, cold or chill effects. In fact, he can absorb sustained cold effects to temporarily boost his strength, stamina, and durability to inhuman levels during exposure. Loki is a devastating combatant in Antarctica or during a snowstorm on grounds of enhanced physical abilities. He does not suffer any penalties for warm environments, however.

He shares the royal jotun bloodline penchant for illusions, magnifying his potency to almost unparalleled heights. He is essentially more formidable than any Asgardian for casting illusionary magic, veils, glamours, and similar spells.

MAGIC
Loki is unrivaled as a sorcerer in Asgard, and among the finest spellcasters in the multiverse. He committed his life to mastering magic and there are precious few types he has not studied, including black magic, chaos magic, divine channeling, and a few types of his own devising.

He is capable of many great feats, including conjuring objects, throwing energy bolts, summoning the elements, summoning constructs or spirits and elementals, banishments, bans, flight, levitation, telekinesis, astral projection, and teleporting or interdimensional travel. He can call on extradimensional entities to empower his spells or channel demons, gods, and other odd forces. He creates powerful wards able to span a realm, dispellations, mystic shields, curses, doppelgangers, and illusions so accurate and intense they can confound Odin. His expertise is subtle magics like thoughtcasting and psychic blocks. His mind magic replicates any psionic feat from telepathy and telekinesis to awakening memories or fabricating them and outright mental domination by player consent.

He can manipulate objects and people by altering reality at the atomic level, reshaping them or completely changing their structure. If he can think of it, well, he can probably do it. He can empower inanimate objects to life or grant superhuman attributes to others, though he rarely does.

MAGIC SIGHT
Loki constantly perceives magical flows around him. He naturally recognizes the auras of magic items, beings, and spells. His perception is so sensitive he can detect the slightest perturbation from miles away. The state of Asgard's wards and magic he can sense even when in other realms. Concentration allows him to distinguish inactive and active effects, their likely effect, strength, caster, and plenty of other useful information. Because of his chronic sensitivity, he can be momentarily stunned by powerful spells or effects.

SHAPECHANGER
Loki's form is entirely fluid depending on his preferences. He can alter discrete features or his entire appearance into anything his imagination allows at will. A natural shapechanger, he can adopt the likeness of animals, mythic beasts, alien physiologies, elementals, humanoids or inanimate objects among many other things. Once shifted, he is nearly indistinguishable from a native creature. Loki obtains the natural abilities inherent to his form, though he cannot duplicate the divine abilities of other gods. His sorcerous powers, however, may fully simulate these.

Loki maintains his shifted shape even when knocked unconscious, incapacitated or injured. Any spell, mutation, curse or effect that affects his shape does not permanently alter him, and he can shapeshift back. It is, however, taxing to constantly rearrange his volume, mass, and appearance.

SUPERHUMAN DURABILITY
Asgardian physiques tend to be thrice as dense as a human, rendering Loki considerably heavier than a human of comparable size. His superhumanly dense tissue resists damage to varying degrees: he is all but immune to mundane weapons and bashing damage and falling damage, extreme depths or temperature. He can shrug off gunfire and impacts at great speed. Loki's physiology blended with his natural defensive magics give him great resilience against missile hits and high-powered energy blasts at point blank range from other extremely powerful mystics.

Given sufficient preparation, he conceivably can absorb energy attacks and add these to his available pool to cast from, limiting his own personal magic use. Loki isn't invulnerable to weaponry, however; in particular, uru weapons or the Twilight Sword of Surtur, both heavily enchanted, have been demonstrated to do a fair bit of damage.

SUPERHUMAN SPEED
Loki's agility far exceeds his overall strength. His reflex times are vastly superior to Asgardians and humans alike, aided in no small part by his perception. He moves with considerable speed on the ground. At a dead run, he exceeds any baseline human by volumes, and dodges projectiles or blows that ought to hit. He demonstrates a level of flexibility, coordination, and fine motor skill enhanced by centuries of spellcasting.

SUPERHUMAN STAMINA
Loki functions at superhuman levels far greater than any human. He does not produce fatigue toxins, weaken or tire for weeks. While in peak performance, he requires very little sustenance or sleep. His metabolism grants far greater endurance in physical activities, though when he finally does tire, the need to replace the spent energy and rest properly becomes considerable.

SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH
Loki possesses the greatly enhanced strength of an Asgardian and a jotun both. Though by no means the equal of Thor, he is capable of lifting at least 50 tons naturally. His augmented strength through spells or shapeshifting into a physically more impressive form may be substantially greater.

TIME MANIPULATION
Messing with time is difficult, costly, and exhaustive. Loki also happens to be proficient in temporal magic. These spells are exhausting to his resources when performed on the fly, whereas rituals can sustain the immense drain on focus and energy through wards and proper propitiations. Minor shifts like slipping out of sync to allow himself an advantage, like grabbing a gun or dealing with a speedster, cost far less than actually meddling by sending a projection of himself back nine centuries to leave a knife buried on an island off New York in the event he'll need it in three days to trade with a cosmic entity intent on biting off everyone's faces. The latter requires vast stores of energy, planning, and a hope and a prayer something doesn't go wrong and leave him lost in another dimension for a century.

WORDPLAY

Loki is the Trickster, the god of lies and stories. He can enthrall a crowd and hold harsh audiences captive when given to spinning a yarn. Any topic will do as long as he can tease out some kind of tension or interest from it. Often weaving mythical or historical elements, he comes into his own when truly fascinated by the subject at hand. So much of storytelling is reading the audience and drawing them in, allowing the seeds of an idea to form in their minds and let them think they devised the narrative. So it goes with the best of lies: use a bit of truth, sprinkle liberally with details, and allow it to form. A glib tongue doesn't mean making up things wholesale, though it can help.

Skills

DIPLOMACY
The second Prince of Asgard has a much lighter touch than his brother and father in matters of diplomacy. Taught by Frigga in the fine art of conversation and negotiations, Loki is prepared in every way to deal with foes across a table as much on the battlefield. He mastered the art of the fine word, appearing to give more than he receives. Defusing situations between tense supernatural powers with a vast degree of power is something of a stock in trade. Even when completely at odds with his brother or father, he will invariably show up to close ranks in Asgard's favour with a well-placed word or a frighteningly effective offer, often after completely undermining the other side's position and thoroughly investigating all their weaknesses. Loki thinks of diplomacy as the great game, one much more risky and tactically challenging than war. Anyone can swing a hammer from horseback. Can anyone convince an army of trolls to turn around and besiege their dark elf allies and then bring terror down upon a recalcitrant city state in his own name, using a kenning of their own prophesy-granting 'god'? That's a rare skill. And he knows it.

EDUCATED
Loki has had the better part of three millennia to educate himself, access to the finest tutors and very few corners of the multiverse sealed off to him. Time and other dimensions are no barrier to him, and he actively seeks out knowledge new to him. He has a working command of multiple scientific fields, occult lore, psychology and social sciences, the arts, and the finer points of cooking, poetry, breeding night-flowering plants, and other quizzically bizarre topics simply because he never wants to be without an answer. He's a walking encyclopaedia with deep expertise on the denizens, phenomena, and natural world of the realms.

MAGIC
Loki is, perhaps, the finest sorcerer in Asgard short of the Odinforce-empowered All-Father. He ranks among the top tier casters of the Nine Realms, and unlike many of them, has the luxury of time to master the subject and plumb its depths. He, in his various incarnations, has studied topics that other casters would never dare - like black magic or light elf enchantments - and thoroughly explored all those skeletons in the mystical closet just to see what makes them tick. He is a heavyweight for understanding different traditions, magic items, and the ins and outs of how magic works. There are still areas he has only moderate experience in, but standing at the intersection of science, faith, and magic gives him an uncanny level of knowledge. The field is the one he feels most pressed to excel in to differentiate himself from other Asgardians, and there is damn well no stone to be left unturned.

MAGNIFICENT BASTARD
In conjunction with +wea Magnificent Bastard, Loki truly is a commanding, charming man with all the compelling warmth of a roaring fire in the hearth. People who know better cannot help but be attracted to him, moths to the incandescent flame. Worse, he knows exactly what his glittering charisma does to people, and he has absolutely no compunction about turning up the wattage to put on a show. Balanced between arrogance, bombast, sly wit, and stunning charisma, Loki makes the most seasoned attorneys sound like toddlers and celebrities seem like two-dimensional, flat characters. When he's on, he can eclipse the sun, and make others around him grateful for it. Silver tongued devil, he uses his wits and gift of the gab to keep even his affirmed enemies eating out of the palm of his hand. Let's be honest, it's /hard/ to resist someone good-looking, fascinated by you, and listening intently to your every word. Loki is rare among the Asgardians -- or anyone there -- in that his overdone quality tends to be an appealing affectation. He can damn well be the devil they know, and they love him for it anyways. It goes without saying he can convince and coerce people to follow his line of thinking without them ever realising he did it all along - even his staunchest enemies in the Asgardian court who keep a close watch on everything he does fall for his plans. Regularly.

REACTIONS
Poke the beast, it forgets what it was doing to roar. It sounds a lot better in Asgardian, honestly. Loki has an alarming talent for getting a rise out of people. Most of this is timing rather than a fundamental understanding of human nature. Upset the fire giant emissary with a cutting barb about his mother being cinders, say. Give the slightest grin during a discussion and fluster someone he doesn't like. When someone needs to garner a reaction, he's the man.

WARRIOR

Loki may not be the peer of his brother in stature or on the battlefield, but he had every minute of training and tutelage from the finest warriors Asgard, Vanaheim, and the Nine Realms could offer. He spent years in apprenticeship in Alfheim and among the dwarves of Nidavellir. Endlessly drilled in most weapons, he shows a distinct preference for swords, staves, and spears, and he is a master swordsman by anyone's gauge. Loki can hold off giants with his enchanted blade, Laevateinn, and inflict grievous damage even without augmentation from his spells. He is competent in heavier weapons and fighting with two blades, but he shines with finesse over raw brawn. He is an expert marksman with bows and augmented energy weapons, though he rarely chooses to use such things, favouring mystical bolts.

It's a rare day in Hel to see Loki reduced to fisticuffs, but as the disir (corrupted undead valkyries) learned to their regret, he is a fierce pugilist and martial artist, capable of curbstomping physically superior opponents through tactical strikes that immobilise, inflict pain, or take advantage of his greater speed. Loki's ability to shape-shift helps substantially too in a fight; he can change form and size to match an opponent.

Resources

ExpandClick to expand.

ASGARD
When he's in Odin's good graces, Loki has access to all the wealth and splendour that the golden realm can offer to its prince. When he's on the outs, he has to rely on his own resources squirreled away in various places.

COLLECTION
Loki has his own personal store of artifacts and relics. Several of these properly belong to other people. He tends to keep rarer and dangerous objects that augment his spells or provide a get out of jail free card. They include Norn Stones and a staff that helps focus his spellcasting abilities. Several serve no good purpose at all, like summoning a dark elf wild hunt. He does have access to other items, such as those within vaults he currently has 'access' to, but doesn't carry these things around or have immediate access to them.

CONNECTIONS
Loki has many, many connections in high places and low. He has spent a lifetime building up people to know, whether dark elf hunters or brain-eating squid people. You just never know when you need to call in a favour. He has no compunctions whatsoever about who he rubs shoulders with as long as it serves to benefit him or Asgard. Keeping his connections secret allows him to call on unexpected boons at the best of times, getting out of scrapes.

FAMILY
The Asgardians recognize Loki as their prince. He is blood brother to Thor Odinson and son of Odin by unbreakable bonds of power. Frigga sees him as her son. Balder is his brother. As much as Loki wants to reject his family most of the time, he can call on them for help and expect their wrath to fall on any who meddle. It's an issue of pride, and the line of Odin has far too much of that to spare. The greatest thorn in his side is also his greatest asset, sometimes.

JOTUNHEIM
Loki is -- fine, was -- rightly the heir to the throne of Jotunheim, the kingdom of the ice giants. At the moment of King Laufey's death, his claim was paramount. Giants don't exactly respect physical weakness and no one actually backed up his right, nor has he ever bothered to heavily press it. However, his wit, speed, and sheer power could very well force the frost giants to bend the knee or lend their assistance, especially if they saw some way to gain over Asgard and Muspelheim, their traditional enemies. Any favours in this direction are bound to be minor and not come cheap.

LAEVATEINN
Loki's enchanted sword -- Damage Twig -- is an artifact of Asgard, a wickedly sharp blade called Laevateinn. The Thorn, as it's otherwise called, can inflict wounds that do not stop bleeding and it cuts through most armours and defensive enchantments. He can even use it to create upwellings of pure mana, often fueled by his own magic, in dead zones where no magic exists. He channels spells through the specially prepared and tempered uru metal -- the same material Mjolnir is made from -- and the blade can retain the spell far longer than a mundane substance will. Laevateinn is thus capable of slicing through most substances, striking ephemeral / incorporeal beings, and acting as a focus for his magic, honing it down to a laser beam comparatively. It can substitute for nearly arcane component except the most powerful. The Thorn could cross blades with an energy weapon as easily as a magic bolt.

Laevateinn is nearly unbreakable. It takes the shape of a one-handed sword.

Worse yet, the ancestral gift of this sword carries the weight of the Odinforce and blessing of the Norns for reasons unknown. Loki can summon it to his presence with only a thought.

OCCULT LIBRARY
It goes without saying a sorcerer of his peerless ability has the library to match, and possibly superior to others of his status. He collects magical items, grimoires, rare components and trinkets from across the face of the universe, hunting through its dimensions to capture anything that might interest him. Several of his objects belonged in vaults of other powerful mystic entities like Dormammu, Hela, and Surtur. His collection does not exist in one place, but multiple ones, warded by deadly traps, subtle illusions, teleportation barriers, mundane poisons, and more. Conceivably some of the tomes in his possession have copies nowhere else, and his own transcriptions of dark magic, chaos magic, nature and elemental magics, and seidr have no parallels. He uses encrypted methods to write his spellbooks, further inhibiting people from understanding since Allspeak or a translation spell won't reveal his meaning. Paranoid? You don't say...

WEALTH

As a 3,000 year old immortal with a tendency to hop realms or get exiled by dint of his scheming, Loki keeps liquid and hard assets scattered throughout the Nine Realms. He has so many caches, he's partly forgotten about what is on hand. His safe houses always possess backup weapons, spells, rare herbs, healing salves, and magical bric-a-brac to help with a hard landing. On Earth, he maintains multiple accounts under different identities, caches with antiquities he can sell for immediate cash, and investments under dozens of names. Collectively these allow him plenty of filthy lucre needed to keep himself in the manner in which he is accustomed, bribe officials, and the like.

Weaknesses

ExpandClick to expand.

ASGARD
More than anything, Loki wishes to be recognized as a rightful, proper prince of Asgard. Most of his plans and plots are meant for the good of Asgard -- and occasionally the greater universe. At the end of the day, he does what he thinks is right. An opponent might take advantage of this. Further, he thinks his view of matters is often clearer than other Asgardians too blinded by their ethics and traditional limitations. It's the height of arrogance, and another fault easily exploited.

BAH HUMANS
As far as Loki is concerned, humans are beneath him as a dog is to a god. They may be instructed to do things and they show vestiges of intellect. En masse, they should be feared as an unpredictable force. Certain ones (Sorcerer Supreme, looking at you) demonstrate unnerving capabilities to put snarls in his plans. But Loki routinely underestimates them because he's a 3,000+ year old sorcerous god with 20 levels in badass. Humans usually get the best of him. His incarnations may learn.

ENEMIES
Where can someone begin? At times the entire Asgardian court looks upon him with disfavour. Odin's constant bellwether opinion of his adopted middle son ranges from frostily cordial to blindingly outraged. Sif and the Warriors Three don't always have Thor's blindspot.

Add up the traditional rogues gallery for Asgard, and they are Loki's enemies too. Surtur, the king of Muspelheim, is among his greatest enemies. He distrusts Hela greatly, and has little love either for Karnilla. Dormammu, various Chaos and Hell Lords, and Mephisto all personally hate Loki given his ability to show them up. Though he might appear to cooperate with Malekith and various monarchs or powers in the Nine Realms, none of them are his true allies. His enemies would like nothing more than his head on a spike or occasionally his body in chains to make a point to Asgard.

ENVY
Also bears noting, Loki is deeply envious of Thor, and his envy is built on an artificial perception rather than actual fact. Yes, Thor is beloved in Asgard, though not by every last soul under the sun. Plenty of regular Asgardians have problems with someone so damn awesome over them, his fame and his nature far too much for them. If Loki could ever learn to see past the shining demigod he's built out of Thor's reputation, he might see this. More significantly Thor does /not/ enjoy Odin's universal support and affection the way Loki seems to think he does. The All-Father is an ornery, bitter bastard all around and reserves his affection only for his wife, treating his children with equal parts disdain, disappointment, unrealistic demands, and the worst kind of patriarchal expectation. Is it any wonder they're constantly trying to undermine or overthrow him?

FRIGGA
The Queen of Asgard is the only person who truly took Loki underwing, teaching him sorcery, valuing him as a person. In her eyes, he is something more than a burden. He loves her as no other. A word from her in his ear can change the line of his thinking. Disappointment in her eyes wounds him like a blade. A threat against her would warrant bringing down Ragnarok.

MAGNIFICENT BASTARD
He is manipulative, and excellent at his manipulations. Not a single member of the Asgardian court escapes his attention over the years, and he enjoys displaying his prowess in front of the sometimes humiliated victims. Nonetheless, his silver tongue is fully capable of getting him in trouble. Few people are going to accept 'It was just mischief' as an excuse when smarting from another of his plans. Yet he can still manipulate those who still know not to trust him, which only compounds the problem.

NOTORIETY
Loki's reputation as a trickster god precedes him through the Nine Realms. No one in their right mind thinks to trust his word, and they certainly would be fools to believe everything he says. There is little he can do to change this perception, evne when telling the honest truth.

PRIDE
It goes without saying he suffers from the seven deadly sins in turn, but his greatest sin is pride. Loki believes himself smarter, better, and infallible to a degree above and beyond his peers. Pride goes before a fall, they say, but they never met Lucifer Morningstar or Loki Laufeyson.

PUBLIC IDENTITY
Norse mythology calls Loki the god of mischief, and the surviving Eddas do not speak joyously of his good character. His exploits in legend have been known to western civilization for the better part of a thousand years. Anyone with an Internet connection can sift through the Lokasenna or that awful story about siring Odin's eight-legged steed, Sleipnir, which he absolutely did not do. Therefore, the moment Thor shouts 'Loki! Brother!' the gig is up and all the mythological stories preserved fall on his head.

RUTHLESS
Loki is a ruthless manipulator around erstwhile, temporary allies and utterly, unquestionably vengeful against certain foes of Asgard. His descent into these plans can totally derail his actual goals and blind him to everything else. Loki does not do things by half measures.

UNTRUSTING

The world is a harsh, uncaring place. No one else will look out for Loki but Loki, and anyone else who claims to be protecting his interests is either deluded, mind controlled or lying through their teeth. He has a very hard time dropping his guard to relinquish an ounce of trust or control to others, though Thor may be the best placed to do it. His greatest sins are pride and envy. This definitely combines them both.
