CONTACT/TEAM PREFERENCES

A comment separate from your app with your name, email, and team preferences. Making it a separate comment lets us keep it screened, thus keeping your team preferences private.

For the time zone field, feel free to make a note if working bizarre hours makes you effectively on a different time zone than stated.

"Team preferences" is a catch-all field for any thoughts you might have regarding your character's placement. For example, you might want a team that will put up with your character's sociopathy, or has a certain "feel" to it, or is friendly to your time zone, or maybe you don't think your character looks good in orange, and so on! This is also the spot to let us know if there are teams you DON'T want to be on. While you're not required to put anything here, don't say you have no preference unless you really, honestly have NOTHING to say on the subject! If you've already apped and realized you'd forgotten something? Make another comment!

Character Name: Loki
Canon: Marvel Cinematic Universe (Thor/Avengers)
Reference Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe

Character History:
There are several kinds of realms in the universe, connected to Yggdrasil, the World Tree. Amongst these worlds are Earth, Asgard and Jotunheim. The Norse Gods of old are actually people from this world where science and magic have the same origin. Once in a war with Jotunheim, Odin Forefather defeated the Frost Giants and took from them, one small baby, in hopes of bridging the gap between their worlds. That child was Loki. He grew up, unaware of his heritage, but often shunned and rejected for his brother, Thor Odinson. Still, Loki was smart, quick-witted and sly, gaining a name for himself and proving to be the voice of reason to his brother's unruly antics.

However, when his brother is crowned King of Asgard, Loki begins to question his life. He lets in two Frost Giants in order to cause some mischief and suddenly, his brother proposes genocide, while he deflects his intentions. When they fight off the Frost Giants and Thor is banished to Earth, Loki finally learned of his secret heritage and accuses his father of favouritism. Odin, suffering from losing one son and hurting from the accusations of another, fell into a deep sleep. This is where Loki's decline begins. He seizes the throne for himself, trying to prevent Thor from ever returning as he instigates the Frost Giants to attack Asgard and his father. He becomes thirsty for power, recognition and above all, a need to be recognized as a person, rather than a shadow of his brother or an adopted enemy. However, this backfires on him when Thor becomes a hero again and Loki, in desperation, tries to wipe out the Frost Giants' world. Instead, he is lost to Asgard, falling through worlds and space.

When we see Loki again, he's ready to ignite a war on Earth. Everything he fought and connived for, is replaced with a burning hatred to subjugate all mankind.
Personality:
Loki is an adopted child of Odin Forefather and brother to Thor Odinson. While he lacks his brother's warm exterior and exuberance, he makes up for it with silver-tongue and mastery over magic. Sly, cunning and patient, Loki knows how to pick the safest and wisest option, seeing more sense in a retreat than a fight. Relying more on his wits and aptitude than his powers, Loki prefers to remain in the background, manipulating people as he sees fit, rather than taking an overt approach. That being said, Loki isn't coldly logical. His life has left him with many desires, to rule, to take, to have, to be important. Loki takes every hurt he has ever suffered and turns into a burning rage. And sometimes, he cannot see past absolutes, like his father and brother's personalities. Brutal, cruel and perfect at aiming for people's weaknesses, Loki expects everyone else to do the work for him as he sits a throne of his own glory. But at times, he lacks conviction for his own ambitions, struggling to find a way to make his own identity: Not as Loki Odinson, not as Loki the Frost Giant, but something so new and terrible that he will do anything to make it happen.

Whether Loki is past redemption or not is hard to say, even now. In Avengers, he's overtaken by an anger and hatred for mankind, for turning his brother into a force of good and for standing up against him. He channels himself into destroying them and shows no remorse for doing so. He's still driven for his own goals and only his own, but occasionally they are hinged on other powers in his life, like his father and the aliens who provided him the army. He's still the underdog, pushed around and used accordingly, even if he's not completely aware of it.

Writing Sample:

01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
That choice would be my name, obviously. Though I do enjoy being called Trickster. It's flattering, really.

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
I hardly think it matters.

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?

I believe, when I was younger, I stopped talking for a year. No one could understand why, least of all myself. Of course now I know the truth, but that's not what you're asking, is it?

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
You clearly don't know much about people to ask me something so trite. It's not a suspicion anymore, it never was.

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
Giant wolves. I hear they're very useful in a hunt.

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
Does it really matter?

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
The knife. Sharp and cutting. Unlike this survey.

08. Do you trust yourself?
Explicitly. As they say... if you want something done, do it yourself.

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
Tell me your definition of "crime" and I'll retort accordingly.

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
No. No one at all.
