18+? Yep.
Other Character: N/a
Character
Name: Loki Laufeyson/Odinson (He has claimed ‘Odinson’, but is the birth-son of Laufey and never actively claimed that name.)
Canon: Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)
Canon point: Avengers: Infinity War
Age: 1,053. (Looks like he’s late 20s-mid-30s)
History: I’m just gonna drop a link here. It gets long.
Personality:
Mercurial-moods (“It varies from moment to moment”-Loki, Thor:Ragnarok) Part of Loki’s nature is that his moods change quickly, sometimes from one extreme to another very quickly. Much of this is part of the act he puts on as well, to hide how he’s really feeling deep within. His 'default' seems to be to treat others with a casual arrogance that he's superior to them; which can then go either into amused territory or into angry territory. We also see him switch from easy conversation to sudden threats and anger rather quickly. His default is to seem sincere, charming and witty, but most often this is a mask that may hold more than just those traits.
Clever (see his various tricks and schemes) Loki is known as the God of Mischief, and a trickster. He uses illusions and misdirection against his enemies. My personal favorite is how he orchestrates the Avengers turning against each other, at least until he stabs Agent Coulson. (He hatches a plan that seems rather straightforward, lets himself get captured, and then the mind-game begins.) If he uses physical weapons, he favors a pair of short daggers; allowing him to hide them easily and spring them unprepared on the enemy.
Jealous (See his relationship with Thor) Loki is the perpetual younger brother, and growing up always felt that Odin and Frigga showed Thor more favor than himself. They were both raised as princes should be and with an expectation either could take the throne. Except that Thor was beloved by everyone and known as a hero, while Loki was often barely tolerated.
Conflicted (See his relationship with Thor and his family) Loki is very conflicted about many things, particularly as regards his family. He and Thor were brothers with genuine affection and love, though Loki was always jealous that Thor seemed to get the lion’s share of attention. When Loki is imprisoned, he talks with Frigga who has done her best to make him comfortable, but denies she is his mother; he is genuinely disappointed she has not come to visit him in person. With her death, he lets his anger and rage and distress show. His relationship with Odin is the most conflicted, as the man was his father--Loki was always seeking his approval. At the same time however, he never seemed to understand or realize what would truly make Odin proud and he doubted Odin could truly love him. This becomes especially true once Loki finds out he’s adopted, and is only resolved right before Odin’s death. The two brothers and father talk with each before Odin’s passing, as he makes it clear in saying “I love you my Sons.” One can easily see Loki’s conflicting emotions naked on his face with these words.
Lonely (He doesn’t feel like he fits in among others.) Loki has always felt different, as he doesn’t resemble his parents or brother. He also isn’t a warrior like Thor or his father, but rather is a magic user; something that was frowned upon compared to the honor of a warrior. He doesn’t seem to have any friends, as even Thor’s own friends just seem to tolerate him as a hanger-on. These feelings of loneliness are amplified when he finds out that he’s adopted, actually a frost-giant (the monster parents tell their children about) and was left to die if Odin hadn’t taken him in.
Complicated. (He’s got layers. Like an onion!) Loki has many traits besides these 6, which is why he’s complicated. He can be very charming and silver-tongued, as well as perceptive of others. Usually as a means of manipulating them for his own purposes. He can also be brooding and angry, feeling as though he never truly fit in and things that should be his were denied to him (such as his birthright to be king). He can lash out at others without seeming to care whom he hurts except for a select-few that he seems both to want to reach toward and push away from. He’s been through a lot of trauma in the last few years especially. Inadvertently causing the death of his mother, losing his father, then having to fight his sister to keep her from destroying him, Thor, and Asgard. Finally, destroying Asgard by reviving Surtur to stop Hela. Add to that the refugees of Asgard fleeing to space only to be found by Thanos, where half of them are killed. Loki has only recently started to learn to care about others, and mend his relationship with Thor, and then this threat he can’t stop or trick his way out of shows up. Loki is not a hero, and has often played the villain if not just an antagonist. But Thor hopes that maybe there is more, and near the end of his life Loki himself starts to be more.
Always Keep In Mind: Loki is a classic trickster so the only side he’s ever truly on is his own; this doesn’t mean his goals can’t match others or conflict with others. He’s also only just now learning to look past his own self-interest and care about others--but he’s still arrogant and self-serving. He’s done horrible things before, and can and will do them again if he feels it’s necessary. He has a love-hate relationship regarding his family, that is only now starting to have a mended rift between him and Thor. Then he died traumatically--for real this time...

Questions: Write an IC answer to the following questions:
What do you want to study at Diatu Magicademy?
How to go back and live instead of die.
((By which Loki means go back and live instead of dying at Thanos hands, and probably be bullied into helping to stop Thanos and his quest for the infinity stones))
If you knew you could go back to the moment you left, would you leave immediately or continue your studies for a while?
It would depend on if time moved forward while I am stuck here.
((By which Loki means absolutely he’d stay and add more magic to his arsenal, but only if that meant he could go back and live this time by changing how that moment happens. And probably be bullied into helping stop Thanos.))
If your enemy was at Diatu Magicademy, how would you react?
I’m assuming killing or setting them on fire is off the table. I reserve the right to make their life as miserable as possible without either of those two options available to me.
((By which Loki means it depends on who the enemy is.))
When is it acceptable to resolve a dispute by force?
Whenever force is necessary. Presumably you expect an answer akin to ‘Never’. But it depends on the outcome sought. Sometimes that outcome makes it necessary to be clever and tricky. Sometimes that outcome requires force to be used.
What should the supreme goal of any wizard be?
Again, presuming you mean some answer like “to better his fellow man” or some such. The goal of a wizard should be to be in complete control of their powers, to be able to best use them to their advantage, for whatever goal they seek.
Special Considerations
Your Special Something: Item of Power is what Loki’d choose (and what I prefer rather than having to deal with a make-believe magical living creature besides my character.) That said, something that makes him have to work cooperatively with others would be amazing. (IF he has to have a familiar, then a snake or cat would be awesome. Or Mod's choice for what they feel would fit him best.)
Rank Your House Choice: Ka, Eiather, Gekronus Maius (Whatever house Loki ends up in, he’ll probably try and illusion his clothes at least to be his preferred black, gold, and green.)
Items: Please provide a brief description of items belonging to your character that could appear during the course of weird events or the like.
His horned helmet, or horned crown, from Asgard. If we’re going with the Loki Series Artifacts, Laevateinn would be fun. (This is the golden short sword of Kid!Loki, a variant. It has the ability to burst into fire along the blade.) It doesn’t belong to him, but if Mjolnir or the Tesseract show up, he’ll be shocked and confused. Gungnir (Odin’s spear) could also be fun.
Anything Else: I’ve enjoyed his transition in movies from antagonistic villain to antagonistic antihero and I’m hoping to continue that journey for him, to full anti-hero if possible. He’ll always be a trickster, but he’s maybe not so bad after all. I also fully plan to cooperate with the mod for any mischief I end up planning with him. Personally, I would love it if he ends up being the adult the kids (or anyone) go to when they need to do something stupid and dangerous, and probably against the rules. Because he'd help them do it SMARTLY--mostly as a point of pride, not because he cares.
