I've Mastered Limerick Writing
There was once an Old Man with one eye
despite what appearance did imply.
For girls he'd always rise
sow the earth 'tween their thighs
Quite a few tiny deaths they would then die.
There was a hypocritical cow
who all but Loki's cuckoldry did allow.
She eagerly took to bed
brothers of spouse thought dead.
She probably still yearns for it now.
There was a goddess so pretty and sweet
who was more than a Trickster should meet.
He wanted in her life
so he took her to wife.
And now with him her life is complete.
There once was a Greek from Olympus
who thought he was more than humorous.
Turns out he was a fool
an incompetent tool.
His deeds were frequently quite tactless.

Loki is blond with bright blue eyes and a smile that can generally enchant anyone under his spell. Rarely is he anything but well kept, rarer still is it for him to not be clean shaven. Loki does not favor facial hair on himself, preferring instead to be silk smooth. Clothing wise he favors crude t-shirts and jeans with his black leather jacket. |

| personality | ||
How does one paraphrase Loki? He is not evil, as many of the Aesir and Vanir would have the world believe. But, he is not wholly good. There is many and more mischief that the Trickster gets himself into, whether at his own doing or not, that paints a darker picture of his nature than is really accurate. On the whole, Loki means well. He is not one to intentionally cause harm and rare is it for him to lift a knife or fist in malice. When it comes to fight or flight, he far prefers flight. Loki didn't, until recently, believe in the reality of love. It was something fathers taught their daughters to keep them chaste until marriage and something fathers equally taught to their sons to entice others' daughters away from said chastity. It was to be used and mocked but not believed in. It wasn't until he was without his wife, his Sigyn, for an extended period of time that he realized that he truly did love her and that life without her was unbearable. Prior to Sigyn he loved exactly one other woman outside of familial love. The wife of Thor, before she was the wife of Thor, tugged firmly at Loki's heartstrings and her loss forever haunts him. Sif was in his heart before Angrboda ever entered his embrace. Before Sif even was given the proposal to marry Thor. Even so, he is not programmed for monogamy. It's a feat he's attempted with each marriage, and even given it far more effort since he's been with Sigyn than normal, but he fails every time. There is just so many new experiences to be had with different flavors of women that he can't help himself. He is kind and gentle with women, never pressing them into territories they don't invite him into. He would never dream of forcing himself on a woman. That isn't to say he can't be a total and complete asshole, as he can. If provoked, Loki will unleash his harshest weapon -his tongue. The bitter words that have sprung from his mouth have ruined marriages, broke confidences and destroyed kinships. The lies spun from his lips have equally caused trouble. For first and foremost, he is a Trickster. With being a Trickster comes a blinding intelligence. An intelligence that when left to its own devices is certainly up to no good. He's fond of games of intellect -Hfnetafl in the old days and chess in modern days. It's an intelligence that most cannot even fathom the limits of. He learns languages easliy, with the distinct except of French, which he has a blinding hatred of, and can even twist himself to sound as authentic as possible. Loki has developed an affinity for cable television. His favorite is the Lifetime movie network, the History Channel and PBS. The latter more for the Red Green show than anything else. He is a shape shifter and frequently takes the form of his favorite animals: ravens, falcons, horses, or wolves. Occasionally he'll take the form of another god or goddess, and does have a female form he uses as he sees fit. There are fears that plague him. The first fear, and the most prevelant, is his own death. He knows it's inevitable, much like Ragnaork, and will make great pains to avoid crossing swords with Heimdall or bringing Ragnarok to pass. He has great fear of serpents from his time on the rock and of being rebound. Something he fears is in the future cards for him if he's not careful. | ||
| history | ||
Loki's history is vast and it will be summarized here, focusing on the important parts. Loki was born on the Isle of Lauer, his mother's island, following the forcing of Farbauti of Muspell onto Laufey. It was because of this and later recurring rape of his mother by his father that Loki vowed to never take a woman by force. He grew up well, educated by his mother, with a blinding intelligence and a knack for mischief. In his early twenties he happened upon a wandering man with one eye who named himself as Odin. This man had recently taken Jord for wife and was expecting his first son by her. This was to be a mighty son, later known as Thor. Loki and Odin quickly became friends and later blood-brothers. This was seemingly done as an act of goodwill but it in fact sealed Loki's later fate. Striving to do what many men of his age did at the time, Loki strove to took a wife and ventured to the land of Muspellheim. The land of his father. Here he took Glut to wife and fathered twin daughters on her. He quickly tired of her and in a quiet ceremony that his mother bore witness to, Loki divorced Glut when his daughters were very small. From here he arranged his admittance to Asgard, the home of the Aesir (not yet walled in) and left Muspell for the time being. He returned occasionally to visit his daughters, but never for more than a few days. In Asgard he happened upon perfection incarnate. Perfection in the form of a golden-haired goddess whom he quickly made his own. His adoration and affection for Sif never waned. Not even when he started joining Thor on excursions into Jotunheim or when he lay with other women. Never did he cease to hunger for her. But he did never marry the beauty. Instead, before he could ever claim her hand she agreed to take Thor to wife, thinking instead for the welfare of her fatherless son, Ullr, rather than her heart. But Loki knew that Sif loved him and he never gave up on her. When she refused him, they fought and following the wedding, he snuck into their bridal chamber and chopped off her hair. Thor was furious and so sent Loki to get new hair for her. Once all was righted, Sif eventually returned to Loki's bed when Thor was away. This lasted a great long time, until she called it off abruptly and ended their affair. Again, stricken with rage, Loki struck out. This time, to show her his spite, he took to Jotunheim and married the Jortun witch Angrboda. She bore to him three monsterous children. Eventually Loki tired of her as well, Angrboda was a fiercly aggressive woman who took to violence as it suited her, and divorced her formerly also when his children by her were very young. Unlike with Glut and those children remaining in Muspell, his jotun children did not remain in Jotunheim. Instead he brought them with to Asgard where they lived a life of mostly outcast. When his children were cast out of Asgard by Odin, Loki fled Asgard in a fury, vowing never to return. But the opulance of Asgard was far too much to refuse. He also vowed to never marry again or have any futher children. It was here that Skadhi entered the lives of those of Asgard. He took her to bed easily, but eanred her wrath when he refused to take her as a bride. He simply was not going to marry again. After feast one night, Loki stalked the halls looking for a lovely lady to share his bed. Drunk, he mistook a blonde for another blonde he had been seeking. This woman never came to his bed, not for a long time anyway, and after much clever conversation on her part finally revealed her name as Sigyn. Intrigued, Loki remembered her and even made pains to spare her reputation at a future meeting. After many clandestine meetings where they did nothing but talk and play Hfnetafl, Loki gave up on the vow to never marry again and requested permission from Odin to seek her hand formally. Things seemed to go swimmingly for Loki in the years that followed, occasional bumps in the road nonwithstanding, until Ziza came to the door of his hall late one evening. Sigyn was pregnant with their first child and the wife of Tyr complained while Sigyn slept of her barrenness and begged Loki to sire a child on her. It was to be done in absolute secret, with none knowing. But drunk, Loki confessed one evening that the son Tyr was so eager for was actually his own. Then came Baldr and Hodr. None will never know for sure, but Loki explicitly believes that Hodr came to him in confience and conspired in the death of his brother with the Trickster. Baldr was beloved to Frigg and Odin and Hodr nearly forgotten. Pitying the boy, who had lost Nanna to Baldr, Loki agreed to help him. It was Hodr's hand that held the dart, but it was Loki who held and aimed blind Hodr's hand. Even though very little direct blame could be placed at Loki's feet, as they had no actual proof of anything, Loki was banished from Asgard. He left, but not withour raising a stink first. For right had been done. At Aegir's feast, he murdered Fimafeng to get the attention of the Aesir. Drunk again, his words betrayed him earning extreme scorn from each in attendance and making enemies of all who were once friends. Thor chased him from the site, but it was Odin who confronted him outside the hall. The two came to blows, as wolves, for the first time ever, leaving Loki leaving for Midgard and Odin stating that he would help him no more. In Midgard Loki was caught by the Aesir and both his wife and sons were brought before him. Vali, who inherited shape shifting abilites from his father, panicked and shifted into wolf form. Not knowing friend from foe in that form, Vali lost his mind and attacked his own brother, Narvi, killing him before taking off to the woods where it was presumed that Vali also died. Skadhi used the entrails from the deceased son of the Trickster to bind him to a rock and in a moment of supreme cruelty hung a serpent above him to forever drip venom on his face. Sigyn stuck with him, though. And for years they spoke not a word to each other. Loki averting his eyes for he knew that it was his fault for everything that had transpired and all the pain it caused his wife. One day Sigyn was away from the rock to empty the bowl and was gone for a much longer period of time than usual. So much so that Loki assumed she'd never return and broke his binds, leaving the cave, the serpent and his wife behind. | ||
| residence | ||
Loki has only one residence and that is a modest home just outside Anchorage, Alaska in the United States. It is kept rather clean these days with the assistance of his wife, who is newly reunited with. But its decor is simple and very much 'him.' Every convinence he could need or want is at his disposal and he makes no pains to have that in his home. Even so, there are usually bottles of alcohol (open or empty) laying around the living room unless Sigyn picks them up. He likes to keep his home low key, as he is doing his best to lay low from Aesir view. | ||

Um... what?
What the hell is that suppose to mean?
That GodChecker Thing That's All the Rage
LOKI
Also known as LODER, LOKE, LOKKJU, LOPTER, LOPTI
LOKI: God of Hokey Pokey and one of the world's major Trickster Gods.
In his early days LOKI was a rascal; crafty, sneaky, silly and malicious - a Loki The Lad. The son of two Giants, he was so outrageously mischievous that he even sneaked his way into becoming a God. He was the first Anti-Hero, quick-witting his way out of the tight corners and confrontations caused by his misdeeds. But as time wore on he became increasingly nasty.
His first escapade was a very rampant romp. When the Gods were struggling to build ASGARD, they found they'd run out of funds. Which is not surprising as money and banks hadn't been invented yet. All the basic construction had been completed but they needed a large protective wall to keep the riff-raff out.
LOKI came up with the plan of contracting a Giant to do the job. As payment, the Giant asked for the Sun and Moon and also the Goddess FREYA if the work was completed to schedule. The Gods were not too sure. "Don't worry," advised LOKI. "He'll never manage it on his own, even if he works night and day - and the deal will be off. We'll let him keep the wheelbarrow or something."
Alas, the Giant was not on his own. He had a huge stallion called Svadilfari, which could haul boulders like there was no tomorrow. With three days to go, FREYA was in distress and the Gods aghast.
Now LOKI, like fire and smoke, was a shape-changer from the word go. A talent he'd developed to make him the shiftiest transmogrifier of all time - from flea to fish to fast flying feathers in 0.3 seconds. So he changed himself into a mare and seduced the Giant's stallion. By whinnying and prancing off into the woods, Svadilfari was led far away from the stone pile.
With his horse missing, the Giant didn't quite make the schedule. Seething with rage, he tried to take FREYA by force - until THOR cracked his skull with his hammer.
Meanwhile LOKI was having a fine old time frolicking in the fields. In fact he became pregnant, and decided to sample the joys of motherhood. He gave birth to a fine baby boy stallion with eight legs. He gave this as a gift to ODIN and it was called SLEIPNIR.
LOKI was now well in with top God ODIN and his son THOR, with whom he shared numerous adventures. THOR, the perfect fall guy, was persuaded to appear in drag as the prospective bride of a giant and other embarrassments. THOR could always be relied on to supply the muscle when corners became too tight for trickery.
LOKI had many run-ins with the dwarves, which he cheated at any opportunity until they stitched him up. Literally. They stitched his mouth shut, which kept him quiet for quite some time.
LOKI never missed an opportunity to take advantage of any Goddess, despite already having had three wives. The first not many folk know about, and it is only by assiduous research we have discovered GLUT, who bore two daughters EINMYRIA and EISA.
Next was ANGRBODA, a giantess who spawned FENRIR the Giant Wolf, JORMUNGAND the Earth-encircling Serpent, and HEL the Underworld Goddess. Finally there was his wife SIGYN, who produced their ill-fated sons NARVI and VALI(2).
For further LOKI adventures, click your way to ANDVARI, FAFNIR, GEIRROD, THIASSI and BALDUR. And check out our Loki Trickster Wearables! We are still investigating the mysterious theft of FREYA's precious necklace Brisingamen when a flea was seen to flee the scene. As a well-known God of bed-hopping, fingers of suspicion are already pointing at you-know-who.
As the most scandalous God of all time, LOKI was seldom out of the Nordic News or the Sunday Runes. But his tricks came to an end after causing the death of BALDUR. Now he's trapped in eternal punishment until RAGNAROK rolls around.
