Powers and Abilities:
Frost Giant Physiology - Loki is the biological son of the Jotun (or Frost Giant) King, Laufey. When exposed to extremely cold temperatures or Frost Giant magic, Loki's skin will turn blue and his eyes red and there will be a light ridge pattern to his skin. He is also immune to cold effects. Loki also possesses abnormal strength, speed, agility, durability, stamina, reflexes, and a regenerative healing factor.
Master of Magic/Master Sorcerer - Frigga taught him Asgardian Sorcery, and Loki often uses it to his advantage since he is physically weaker than other Asgardians. Specific manifestations include Illusion Manipulation, Duplication Casting, Presence Concealment, Shapeshifting, Self-Teleportation, Telekinesis, Conjuration, basic Eldritch Blasts, Manipulation of Shadows, Transfiguration, and Mental Manipulation (Suggesting/directing another's thoughts and memory-reliving).

What Did Your Character Wish For? To not die at Thanos' hand. To not have that be the end.
What Potion Did They Receive? Red
Did They Drink It? Not yet.
Character Questions:
1. Who is the person your character is most bonded with from their canon? Or who is someone they miss the most?
His adoptive mother Frigga. This Loki hasn’t learned that he, indirectly, caused her death--and will be devastated when he learns. They had fought when they last talked, but Frigga clearly loved him as her son (adopted or not). Loki learned all he knows of magic from her--as she wanted him to shine and not be in his brother or father's shadows all the time. He shows tangible upset and grief at learning of her death, and helps Thor get revenge. Thor even speculates that he can't trust Loki, and Loki responds by telling him to trust his rage.
His next closest bond--although complicated--is with his adopted brother Thor. The two grew up together, but Loki was ever in his brother's shadow. He was jealous, and also believed Thor was not worthy of the throne given how the other behaved before being humbled and sent to Earth. He has fought with his brother, often in very deadly ways. Their relationship is strained over 5 years after Thor's banishment to Earth and Return. But on Sakaar, and after the destruction of Asgard, the two seemed to be starting to mend their bond.
2. What are they most afraid of? Being alone and unloved. Loki grew up in the shadow of his older brother and felt different his whole life. He found out he was adopted however in probably the worst ways possible. He sought to make his father proud of him--to be accepted and loved. He reacts to the rejection and disappointment badly. Hurting and lashing out, afraid to be hurt further so he rejects people before they can hurt him again. While posing as Odin he has a statue put up and a play about him and his life (and death). These are signs that he wants to be loved and accepted. When Odin actually states that he is proud of his 'sons'--Loki is visibly surprised by this. He did help rescue his people from Hela, and also tried to stop Thanos, even reassuring Thor that his ‘betrayal’ was not real. He wants to be loved most and accepted most by those who matter to him. To 'belong' essentially.
3. What is their weakness? Emotionally, mentally and physically? Emotionally--Loki's weakness is his pride and jealousy. Mentally--it's that he has an inferiority complex compared to his Father and Brother. He also just wants to be accepted for who he is. Physically--in game it will be that he's brought down to human-levels, but otherwise he can be bested by a superior combatant and/or a being stronger than him. Especially if it's a group of them. (The Avengers, Hulk, Valkyrie, Thanos.)
4. What would make them happiest? To never have brought the tesseract from Asgard? To go back and help Thor and perhaps find a way to warn the Midgardians what's coming, having seen what they can do? Perhaps to 'make up for the way I failed' although that’d be an unconscious desire. Ultimately--to belong and be loved/accepted.
5. What’s their type for a lover? Lovers, at least for non-emotional definitions, are not hard--Loki is a hedonist and bisexual and I can't see him turning down a 'friends with benefits' or casual situation. I also could see him using sex to manipulate others as needed. He'd prefer them pretty/handsome too, and fond of a good time.
For an ACTUAL lover, aka someone he falls in love with? That would be complicated.
I could see him falling in love with someone who challenges him on all levels, who makes him be his truest self. Which he'd likely fight every step of the way, but ultimately it would be about the person accepting him and helping Loki accept himself. To be loved for who he is. We don't actually in canon SEE a true 'romance' with either the main-timeline Loki or his Variant in the series. (The great 'kiss' between the Variant!Loki and Sylvie always read to me more as a distraction, and a very 'loki' thing to do to distract someone.) I would take my cue from a recent Marvel comic where Scarlet Witch comes to Jotunheim to act as a champion for Loki's cousin Arkin, to challenge Loki for the Throne of Jotunheim. He accepts and the challenge is a contest of truth. During it, they find out how similar they are--and Scarlet Witch points out that, in another reality, they would likely be soulmates or close to. But that will not be in this reality because it would require Loki being his "truest self"--and that is something he can't do. He concedes defeat because she's right
So Loki's ideal partner/lover for a proper relationship would be someone who challenges and matches him, who accepts him for who he is--but also who gets him to accept himself fully. To BE his truest self, even if he shows it to no one else. That's my thinking, especially because his big fears are about being alone and unloved and unaccepted.
