Appearance: Loki's appearance is deceiving, as he looks to be somewhere in his late twenties when he is actually over a millennial in age. He is commonly clad in blacks and deep greens that compliment his slender physique, with watchful, strikingly green eyes and a guarded expression. When he chooses to flash a grin, it looks venally boyish and innocent though hardly ever is it honest.His true skin is deep indigo in color with a raised pattern of swirls and his eyes glow red. His hair remains black, even while displaying his Frost Giant characteristics. As a prince of Asgard, Loki has a rather extravagant outfit of black leather, burnished gold armor, and flowing emerald cape. This is topped by an armor helmet with long, backwards-curving horns.

Personality: Unlike his stepbrother, Loki is not an impulsive man, quite the opposite: thoughtful, manipulating, farseeing, he's the perfect tactician. Loki is mischievous by nature, always eager to prove himself: being physically weak, he developed a sharp intellect and an acute mind to overcome his handicap among the Asgardians warriors. He's pitiless and obstinate, ready to destroy everything on the path to his aims. Brilliant and smart, he's an incredible foe for a society mostly based on mindless combatants.
Loki is a master of magic, from the slide of hand to making objects vanish or change before ones very eyes. It was one of the first things he thought himself to do rather than learn any hand to hand combat like the rest of the children his age did. A lie smith, the man knows how to tell a lie, more or less weave a virtual web of them with his silver tongue.
Loki is on his own side, doing what ever it takes to achieve his ends. Be it helping or harming. He's a pragmatic idealist, which is a confusion in itself. Loki's the type of character to plan ahead by ten to a hundred steps, but his methods of execution can tend to be problematic, as he chooses to make decisions that seem ridiculously complicated to everyone else involved.
To understand Loki's motivations, you'll have to take note of the duplicity his adoptive father had taken on. Loki was cradle-robbed from his biological father's temple; while technicalities beg for the clarification that Loki was left to die in the temple anyway, the fact that Odin had taken him from Jotunheim and raised him as Aesir, in an environment that is vastly foreign to Loki's species, isn't any better. He grows up with a deep-seated sense of alienation and "outsider" issues even and especially within his adoptive family, and the rivalry Odin fostered between Loki and Thor didn't help matters when Loki proved to fit awkwardly in the Aesir mold of a prince. While Loki is by birth a prince and heir apparent to an entire realm, he's been raised to fear and hate his own species.
His rivalry with Thor, in turn, is founded on an intensely close relationship - there's no doubt that Loki bears a lot of affection and love for his adoptive family, going so far as to emotionally and psychologically reject the truth about his birth parent; the thought of being anyone else's son is so repulsive to him that he orchestrates events just to kill Laufey in front of Odin and Frigga as a sign of rejection. Loki can be cruel, but he seems only to direct most of it to Thor, who he envies, despises and thinks of as an idiot - and yet, up until Odin's revelations, Loki looks out for Thor first and foremost. Loki is a trickster; he enjoys getting a rise out of people, but circumstances surrounding his position in Asgard's hierarchy, his true parentage, and the strained relationship he has with his own family has twisted what could have been just a harmless inclination for immaturity.
He does have good qualities, though. He has a strong sense of family, which belies an intense type of loyalty for those who earn it from him. Loki's not trustworthy in the least, but he holds oaths in high regard, for so long as everyone is quick enough to close the holes in an agreement. He's polite, civil, and actually spares the time to avoid conflict where it's not necessary. He's the type to be mean and tricky with those he actually likes, but if you given no reason to pull his more dangerous tricks, he makes for a good ally and/or brother in arms. He's also ridiculously in need of affection, which, while not exactly a good trait, should be an indication of how lonely he feels, and how easily his insecurities can be handled if cards are played right.
"With great power comes great responsibility"
Powers: Loki is perhaps the most powerful sorcerer in all of Asgard. His many magical abilities included but are not limited to shape-shifting , astral projection, molecular rearrangement, eldritch energy blasts, illusion casting, levitation, telepathy, hypnosis, and teleportation.
Loki can also magically create rifts between dimensions, allowing him or other objects passage from one universe to another. Most often this rift is between Asgard and Earth.
Weapons
- Throwing knives
Loki doesn’t like to get his hands dirty in a fight. He likes to be quick, efficient and lethal. It’s like one blow—slam. So we thought it would be throwing knives. And I thought if there was a way…if Loki could fight in a way that was as impressive as Thor’s, but was completely different so in a way Loki is too quick and Thor can’t catch him, you know? I kind of conceived of Loki as a kind martial artist with these throwing knives. Someone who’s like a dancer. He dances his way out of combat and these knives are his way of keeping his foes at arm’s length but it’s lethal. When you get one of those knives in, you’re gone. - taken from Tom Hiddleston's interview with Moviefone. could not put it in better words myself.
- Cosmic Control Rod
It's length can change between the length of a staff or so that it can be used one-handed like a mace. Made of Uru, it allows Loki to channel his magic through the weapon. The Gem in the center portion of the weapon is a direct link to the A fraction of the Tesseract's (cosmic cube) power. Unlike Mjolnir, any one can use the staff if they get their hand on it.
Strengths/Abilities: Loki is immune to most physical injury, and can reattach severed body parts, including his own head. The God can lift nearly fifty tons, but rarely relies on his physical powers.
Weaknesses:
Loki’s biggest weakness actually seems to be his greatest foe in Thor. He has an insatiable lust for power, and often alienates himself from others through his deeds which brings an air of mistrust even from those who know him. Much like other great sorcerers, it’s thought that Loki is actually weaker when away from his home dimension of Asgard, as he was not born of the earth. He seems to be much more powerful in Asgard. Loki may seem like one of the most powerful beings in the world but in reality there are plenty of thing to trap him or magically bind him to places or people. Like everything Magic is a catch 22. He could be summoned against his will or any number of things one could surmise has existed to call forth or trap a being such as him.

History:
Adopted by Odin and Frigga at the end of the Asgardians' war with the jotuns, Loki was treated as a prince of Asgard and never informed of his true heritage throughout his youth. Jealous of his of step-brother Thor, Loki allowed several jotuns to enter Asgard to steal the Casket of Ancient Winters during Thor's coronation. In the wake of this intrusion, Thor opted to launch a counterattack on Jotunheim with a number of his friends, and while Loki initially tried to dissuade his brother, he eventually relented and went along with the plan.
Once on Jotunheim, Thor again led them into conflict and attacked the jotuns even after being granted safe passage home. During the ensuing fight, Loki was surprised by his own resistance to the jotuns' freezing touch, a revelation that led him to conclude that he was at least partly jotun rather than an Asgardian as he had been led to believe.
Loki confronted Odin over his lineage, but gained little more than an historical account of his early life before Odin lapsed into his "Odinsleep". With Thor already banished to Earth for the attack on Jotunheim, Loki stood unopposed and assumed the role of Asgard's regent. From his position of power, he continued to manipulate others, firstly making Thor believe Odin had died, then forcing obedience from other Asgardians and finally manipulating the jotuns into making an attempt on Odin's life.
When Thor's friends disobeyed Loki to bring word of his actions to Thor, Loki responded by sending The Destroyer after them to eliminate Thor. This action proved his undoing when Thor's courage in confronting the automaton paved the way for his return, and just as Loki revealed his double-cross against the jotuns who were infiltrating Asgard, Thor arrived to challenge him over his actions. The resulting fight quickly moved to Heimdall's Observatory where Loki had opened a portal that would destroy Jotunheim. Thor's power ultimately overpowered Loki's cunning, at the cost of the observatory and the Bifrost.
As Loki fell into the abyss below, the spear in his hand was grabbed by Thor who in turn was anchored to the remnants of the bridge by the newly-awakened Odin. He appealed to his stepfather that by annihilating the jotuns he was doing what was best for Asgard. Odin sadly rejected this, and with his Asgardian life now in tatters Loki released the spear and allowed the void to claim him. Leaving behind much more then he would return to. His future actions and plots would rip it all from his very hands.
Loki landed on a world unknown to plot his revenge. Not just against his brother, but against Earth, whose inhabitants Thor now protects. Loki, has returned with a nefarious plot to conquer Earth, the Nine Realms and will stop at nothing to see his vision realized.
Though in his self exile, Loki found himself upon a desolate planet Chitauri, and a pact that would see him become ruler of the Earth. The Chitauri's envoy sought the Tesseract in exchange for this ascendancy. Accepting the deal, Loki turned his focus back to Earth. Though his far reaching plans, failed. The Chitaurian army was defeated by the Avengers and his brother Thor. It was not long there after He returned to Asgard as a prisoner of Thor along the Tesseract.

Writing Sample:
Loki Watched from his eagle eye of a vantage point. Why join the fray himself when his magic could do it for him. Granted the clones were slowly being taken out or having their true nature revealed. Pity. He did so enjoy the use of his doppelgangers. His boots tread the edge of the roof's stone carefully as he paced back and forth across it. Watching. Waiting for the moment that he could make a strike, one most detrimental. It all had to be planned so carefully. If one thing was to fall from line. It would have to be revised.
Though Loki was one of the greatest minds in the tactics of battle. He was capable of predicting, planning several hundred complex moves before the opponent knew they would even make them. It was only a careful game of chess. Just with world in place of marble boards and beings in place of carved sculptures. Even on the board. Loki still was a clever cheater. There was no reason to think that he would not but do the same here.
The Trickster God gave a snarl of an expression and hissed lowly to himself in a short spurt of anger. He had seen not just something but someone seemingly fly across the sky over head. The blur of red and blue was Thor. Loki could feel it. Things just became complex, far more then he wished it to be. Not only did he have the mindless beast that was Hulk to take into consideration, the Flying pest that was Wasp, she was little more then an annoyance to him. Someone, he had not yet meet, wearing the most tacky of goggles. Though Loki took notice of the fact that his flash bang disappearing act Held the effect of stunning the man, which he put the thought in the back of his mind for use in the future.
Now he had his foster brother to deal with. Thor was the one thing that was his foil. An he was Thor's. Loki knew that Thor would always try and sway him back to the Man he once was. How hard was it for Thor to see that That Loki was gone. That Loki had died with Laufey. It mattered not any more. Thor could not change Loki, It was but a fruitless effort. He possessed an insatiable, ravenous thirst for Chaos and Revenge. Matched only by his malicious plots to rule the realms or destroy them.
He cast a green eyed glare down towards the street as Thor's voice resonated across the steel city. Did he really expect him to stop due to the warning? How foolish a thought. An Thor claimed what Loki was doing was foolish? No, it held purpose. In the long run this would be a pivotal point, All Loki had to do was figure out how to turn it in his favor. And there was the spark.
He saw the Wasp flying around Thor. She was but a speck that she was before. And the Hulk, once again, that was the tactic. An unstoppable force, that he could twist. Loki calculated the plan for a moment, It would be the perfect distraction, the perfect way to keep the others occupied while he took care of his brother. In the end it would accomplish his goal a bit faster. Now to lure the beast, Loki presumed that once he made his real presence known the Avengers would descend upon him in a poor attempt to contain his chaos. Yes. This would work too beautifully.
And just like a wind, Loki vanished from where he was standing upon the edge of the building to the top of a destroyed car near Thor and Wasp. He materialized the twisted Uru metal spear into his left hand.
"Predictable!" He exclaimed from behind them, with the plan of drawing their attention. "I tear your precious Midgard's cities apart and you arrive to play the hero with your mortal friends. " He smirked then laughed at them. "Now Thor, you know I will not stop this." He stood with his arms extended out before he dropped them back to his sides. The spear's tip scraping the hood of the car with a piercing whine.
Would they never not fall for tricks?.
"I'm through talking, get out of my cave,"
