— Loki to Buddha in Hundred Seals
|
Loki is one of the Gods' representatives set to fight in a future match of Ragnarok.
Loki is a prominent deity in the Norse Pantheon and the "God of Mischief" (狡知の神, Kōchi no Kami)[1].
Appearance[]
Loki takes the form of a tall, muscular man. He wears a cloak with long sleeves detached from its base. He also wears fingerless gloves and an array of stud ear piercings on each of his ears. He has hair that goes down to his neck and a hair highlight to the left of his face. Loki's pupils are slanted like that of a goat and he occasionally shape-shifts into other gods.
Personality[]
Loki is a playful, sadistic, aloof and sometimes unhinged individual who lusts for carnage, finding it very entertaining.
He mostly saw Ragnarok as a joke and, for the first two rounds, just laid back and watched the spectacle unfold. However, after Poseidon was killed by Kojiro Sasaki in the third round, Loki became worried by the fact mere Humans actually had the potential to kill Gods. For this very reason, Loki started to take the event much more seriously.
He is quite confident in his own power as shown when he attacked Buddha and was able to intimidate fellow Gods like Hoteison and Benzaiten with little effort.
Loki also rarely has good posture, as shown when he either limply floats in the air, crouches on a chair or sits on the floor.
He also holds his own race to an extremely high standard, displaying twisted elation seeing them fight and feeling enraged whenever they lose against inferior beings. He also seems to have a hatred towards demigods.
While Loki isn't supportive of Humanity's survival, he did show an interest in Adam's struggle, Jack the Ripper's trickery and manipulation of Heracles, and while he called Kojiro's win against Poseidon a bad excuse for a joke, moments before it happened, he was shown to be thrilled with the strength that Kojiro had displayed.
Abilities[]
Mental Abilities[]
Keen Intellect: Loki is a very sagacious and intelligent individual, as seen when he noticed and detected the discrepancies in the Valkyries's "Völundr" ability and determined it had something to do with Buddha and correctly discerned his betrayal to the Gods. He was also the first one to notice the true nature of Jack's Völundr.
Expert Craftsmanship: Loki has shown to be talented in various forms of craftsmanship such as forming glass bottles resembling faces of person/God or making life-sized dolls of people like Brunhilde. For the Brunhilde doll, he even went as far as crafting eyes and hair that resemble Brunhilde's.
Expert Taxidermist: In his private quarters, Loki houses multiple taxidermied animals such as a tiger, antelope, zebra, snake, eagle and more. These are likely done by himself personally as he's shown enough skill to craft a life-sized doll of a person by hand. In addition, Loki has shown a high degree of knowledge regarding the body such as when Adam suffered from using Divine Reflection extensively or when he knew how serious Jack the Ripper's wound was upon being impaled by a metal spike earlier in the fight with Heracles.
Fighting Abilities[]
Expert Chainman: Loki possesses some skill and proficiency in wielding his divine dual-chained hooks.
Supernatural Abilities[]
Semi-Immortality: As a God, Loki has a limitless lifespan and will not die of old age.
Divine Physiology: As a God, Loki possesses physical abilities far greater than any ordinary Human. His body can not be harmed by mortal weapons. However, he can still be harmed by unarmed attacks from individuals with superhuman strength and Divine Weapons.
Shapeshifting: As the God of Mischief, Loki can change his form and appearance at will to deceive other people, though he usually does this for his own amusement. His proficiency in shapeshifting is so immense that he can trick Huginn & Muninn when he took the form of Thor.
Portal Creation: Loki has displayed the ability to create portals at will to transport himself from one location to another without occupying the space in between. He also used this ability to summon his weapons by creating a small portal on the palm of each of his hands.
Matter Manipulation: Loki briefly displayed the ability to shape matter when he changed the appearance of two wine bottles to the shape of Zeus' and Adam's face.
Levitation: Loki's main form of movement is floating in the air, only on rare occasions is he seen walking.
