Loki follows his own whims. He is an individualist first and last. He values his own liberty but doesn't strive to protect others freedoms, lest they happen to be beneficial. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. Loki enjoys destroying the destructible and possesses a desire to make others suffer purely for the pleasure. He may be unpredictable, but his behavior is not totally random. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge, as to cross it, or maybe cross it enclosed within the fingers of the night.

Loki formed in an alternate dimension as part of a group of six. These six spirits, when together, where parallel to that of a god. Creating an alternate existence, the third dimension, our universe, and billions of years passed. One of the six however had an alternate idea, she turned aside and betrayed her fellows, this eventually led to the destruction of their home dimension.

Four of the souls converged into demonic life force, Loki converged into that of a human(Homus/homo [serpentine]), the last soul was destroyed with the dimension. Time passed and Loki witnessed the evolution of Earth, living through thousands of years until the "modern-day". The four other demonic Ancients where passed onto four family lines of prophesied demises. Akuntentum, Vashad, Iako, and Hashama. Loki remained oblivious, eventually finding his way to a mansion owned by the Juliano family.

You may ask, why did the other spirits become demonic forces?, while Loki became a being out of place in the evolutionary cycle. The spirit of air was the "weakest" of the six. Not weak as in a substantial level associated with the power structures of man. Rather less abundant in accumulated energies. Formed of a never substantial force, mingling and mixing as spiraling water and oil. Not a significant power on it's own, as the solidity of the other spirits including the similar water. It is this substantial ferocity that triggered the "demonic" manifestations. Spirits too involved within themselves to become a potentially peaceful substance. But forget not, loki is not merely a peaceful substance. As with all things in life there is a balance, commonly known as yin-yang. Good cannot exist with out Evil. It was this spiritual possibility to be at equilibrium with both that enabled a manifestation able to be at either end of the spectrum, much as the atypical human. Upon the birth of alchemy and witchcraft, loki's physical form was "combined", due to lack of a better term, with that of the serpent. His skeletal advantage[See extraordinary abilities] was birthed.

As the building shut down Loki traveled to north Italy where he met his demise by the hands of a rival from the Juliano Manse. His soul was sent to Hell where he met one of the ruling Devils. This devil was the owner of four crystal balls that had the ability to absorb souls, where when applied to a second device are absorbed into the possessor, he also gave the thought that Loki's partners where within the human realm. Meanwhile two bounty hunters by the names of Hyaku Akuntentum, and Spade Vashad, accompanied by a young boy named Jake, roamed the lands of Earth in search of various commissions from the highest bidders. They where led to Russia where a cave literally poured horrifying demons from the lower realms.

When this war broke out, Loki was able to steal the four orbs and escape undetected. When he reached the human plane his body underwent an odd change, releasing spiritual powers(Some still awaiting to be found) and taking up a devious appearance. He left for china and located a man by the name of Bruce Iako who possessed "odd" talents. Believing this was one of the sealed demons, Loki manipulated the man and posed as a friend. The two then made their way to Japan to search for another.

They eventually encountered a bike gang led by Angelina Hashama. She too contained "odd" abilities. Hereby with two of the souls, Loki trained in Angelina's warehouse, where an intimate relationship eventually formed. Regretfully Loki made the decision that his "friends" had to be sacrificed in order for him to attain "True" power. Loki then set out in search of an Egyptian text which gave instructions on absorbing the souls.

Once nearing the area Loki was forced to create a ruse that would allow him enough time to read the texts alone so as to keep Angelina and Bruce's loyalty. The text spoke of a city that was devoured by the sea, within this glorious city there lies a shrine that's purpose is to control several other artifacts, the crystal orbs, and an artifact in the Tibetan mountains that allows the user to take the souls from the orbs into his own form. He hence forth set out to the underwater citadel in search of the altar, where an onslaught of conflicting emotions were tossed aside as he betrayed his "friends". [A monk from roughly the 18th to 19th century has written upon his experiences through life where he recounts many rituals enacted upon him as a child to awaken the third eye, among these texts he speaks of a certain monastery hidden deep within the Himalayas that know the secrets of Atlantis. These monks hold many artifacts originating from the lost city which in the wrong hands could easily wipe out or drastically change humanity as we know it. In his writings he speaks of a mere few of these objects, refusing to write any more “unnecessary” details. From this the inspiration of the crystal orbs and pronged instrument formed.]

Returning to the surface world with two charged orbs, and two more souls to find. Receiving word from a contact that Hyaku and Spade where in Australia under some commission. He hence forth set out where he corrupted Jake to do his bidding. The two managed to capture Hyaku and Spade where they led them to Atlantis, the same ritual was then performed.

Once with the souls of the existing ancients he led Jake to Tibet in search for the final piece to the puzzle. The piece that would give Loki "True" power. Many frigid moons passed in search of the object, yielding no positive leads. During a late night the cave the two where inhabiting became closed off due to an avalanche. Loki, infuriated, issued his wrath upon a wall, unknown to him this wall was an entrance to a secret Mine. Having no other option, they entered the depths of a mountain not far from Everest.

Deep within the mine, where the project apparently came to an abrupt halt, they found a scale-like object that bore four slotted prongs that housed the crystal orbs perfectly. Now all they had to do was get back to Atlantis. With time they eventually located a back entrance, where they made the final arduous journey into the sea. Placing the scale into a slot in the altar, a miraculous spectacle took place in which Loki absorbed the souls he searched the planet for. True Loki was born. He'd proceed to leave Atlantis behind, Jake chained within the city enveloped in a sphere of sustenance, likely for all eternity. Over time Loki came upon a portal to the realm known as Gaia, where a new saga awaited to be written.

Acrobatic
Within thousands of years of existence and training, Loki has attained an astounding forte of flexibility and stamina, augmented with an advanced skeleton (see below).

The Clotting Soot
When his skin is punctured/severed/scraped, the soot acts as a blood clot as if it had a mind of it's own. It takes up to three turns(depending upon severity) for the blood to clot. Therefore a paper cut would clot in a manner of 10 or so seconds, where a severed limb would take 10 or so minutes. Partnering this quality is a noticeable scent that has a possibility of being exploitable.

Skeletal Structure
Loki’s skeletal structure resembles that of a snake, formed from thousands of miniscule bones, genetically altered for optimum mobility. This allows Loki to perform stunts which would ordinarily appear improbable, such as freely dislocating(and relocating) a limb while still maintaining the proper muscle functions, bending in ways which would seem excruciating, and avoiding the troubles of broken arms, legs, you name it.

Advanced Vision
Upon will, Loki may convert his eyes into that of a lesser devil. His pupils/iris taking up a silver sheen. Vision in this state was originally impossible, yet over time and with more use the aspects gradually became known. Instead of actually seeing pigments and placement, this vision focuses on physical displacement and sonar/sonic waves, such as that of a bat. Hence he can view where an invisible person/object is.

Energy Shield
When under a massive attack, Loki may activate an invisible disc 6' by 6' in any one direction. The shield lasts for two turns or until Loki dismisses it. Of course this shield is under no circumstance impervious. If someone where to come charging with a sword in hand, they'd pass through the shield, the sword likely would too. However let's say the sword had a magical/enchanted property, as the sword passes through the disc those properties are momentarily dispelled until the shield is dismissed. Thus it's primary function is to nullify magical attacks sent Loki's way. This power is derived from a combination of Loki's main powers, Negative and Air, therefore the plane of Vacuum.

Elemental Archetypes
Each of the six ancients held a connection with one of the inner planes. Each of which are as follows;
Forgotten sixth- Fire
Dark Flame- Negative
Frozen Wave- Water
Fatal Avalanche- Earth
Loki (Whistling Wind)- Air
Striking Thunder- Positive

Silence the Steps
Upon both hips, attached to his pants, a chain is draped. Each chain controls one half of a spell, when the two are connected to the same object they eliminate detectable sounds such as footfalls, heart beats, the chains themselves, and inhalation/exhalation.

Breathe Clear
When in conditions where there is a lack of Oxygen, or a poisonous gas has been released, Loki's hat emits a sort of whirlwind in a small bubble-like dome around his form. The wind is merely there to repel gas, while supplying any lost Oxygen. If a projectile where to be thrown, more than likely it would bypass the wind with subtle ease.

Velvet Cloak of Protection
-Unavailable-

Vest of Memorization
The Fullerene strands within Loki's vest contain an odd quality that overtime memorizes certain magical attacks. Of course, this only has a chance of being useful when fighting someone for the first time, but once it's been in contact with a certain energy(such as the mind blade of a Soulknife) over a duration of roughly seven days that energy goes through a vigorous process of deterioration until an "Anti" is found, once this antidote/repellent is created the hexagonal cellular structure of the fiber becomes coated with the substance, acting as a sort of nullifier for future confrontation.
Memorized abilities-
-Currently None-

These forms are in a sense Loki himself, yet at the same time a second spirit resides within his body. When he changes form a radical transition takes place in which from deep in the subconscious he drags one of the four contained souls into his own spirit, resulting in a “True” form. This process occurs over the duration of three turns, where upon the third he must not attack, but only dodge. During the three waiting turns his movement speed appears to have a sort of sluggish property. Contrary, shifting from a True form into original form happens to be a simple process that has a fifty percent chance of leaving Loki feeling fully rejuvenated(51-100/D100). Note; The key word being "feeling". There's a difference between feeling as if you are pumped with energy, and all your wounds being healed.
