Personality:
The most apt explanation of Loki’s character is Bruce Banner’s statement “That guys’s mind is a box of cats. You can smell crazy on him.” That is exactly what he is. Crazy and slightly megalomaniac with a healthy sprinkling of daddy issues and sibling envy. Of course finding out that you are not only adopted, but are one of the very creatures your society demonizes and then having your dad fall asleep in the middle of the “You’re adopted, but we still love you” talk probably had something to do with at least 3/4s of that description.

Loki has a long memory and is defiantly the type to hold a grudge. He remembers everything everyone has done to him, real or imagined, and he will eventually get even. This is the driving force behind most of his schemes. Thor notes in the Avengers that Loki most likely took Eric Selvig not only because of his scientific knowledge, but also because of his friendship with Thor. Thor is the extreme case where we see how far Loki is willing to go to make those he believes have wronged him pay.

Everything he does in the two movies he has appears in he believes is good and justified. In Thor destroying an entire world was his way of proving to his father that he was a capable son, that he could protect Asgard as well, if not better, than his brother. When he is trying to take over earth during the Avengers he constantly insists it is for mankind’s good, to save them from themselves. Of course his latent need to one-up Thor also plays into his need to prove he could be a good ruler.

So, while he is not a meaningless malignity, he is far from a good guy. Very far. He has no problem tearing down those who get in his way. He will use his magical talents and his silver tongue to get whatever he needs. His actions always have motive behind them, even if the motive is ‘It sounded fun’ or ‘Because I wanted to’. As he said when he let the Frost Giants into the weapons vault in Thor, as well as stopping Thor from taking the throne for a bit longer, it was also “just a bit of fun.” There is a chance his more evil intentions could mellow out if someone were able to get through to him that he has little to actually be vengeful about, but that would take a very special person who would have to take the time to both win over his trust and also get to a point where he sees them as enough of an intellectual equal to take their advice. Loki is prideful, though, and does not accept equals readily (and betters never). Earning his trust is even more challenging. A person must show both independence, intelligence, and strength. He does not want to feel like he is having to baby sit those he would tentatively call friends. It is not a simple situation of trusting a person and them trusting you back. No, Loki actually thinks those that trust him to soon are fools, and fools can only serve him in the lowest positions.

Prose Log Sample:
Loki stalked through the streets of Asgard. Even at the darkest hour of the night the city was just as bright as he remembered. The warm light that reflected off the golden spires no longer looked like home. Now where ever he looked the grandeur of the realm of the gods mocked him. Here is everything you had. Everything you once ruled. Everything you lost. Everything he took from you. And it was taken from him. He had been the ruler of Asgard, the rightful ruler, then like always Thor had come in and outshined him though its not hard to outshine a shadow.
He almost had it. He almost won it all back. Midgard would have been better off with him in power, the humans happier. But no, Midgard was under Thor's protection. He never did like to share his toys when they were younger, and Loki was not shocked to see that had not changed. How Odin ever thought such a selfish and foolish man could ever rule over Asgard was beyond him other than the fact that Loki was a monster who would surely destroy Asgard if he were chosen to rule. To Odin and Frigga Thor could do no wrong, and wrong was all Loki was capable of.
So here he was, slinking through the shadows, an outcast, on the same streets he had once rode proudly as a prince looking back he supposed he’d always been an outcast. It had been too easy escaping from Odin’s prison. Not ‘too easy’ as in something was up, but rather ‘too easy’ as in Odin was pathetic and underestimated him. Now it was time to go back to Midgard and take revenge on the mortals who thought they could best him. He was not planning on killing any of them yet. No, that would be too easy, too much of a relief for them. He was recognized by many mortals as the god of Mischief, he had many tricks up his sleeves, many ways to make a man with he had never been born. Why end the fun when he could make their lives never-ending spirals of frustration and pain? He could continue with his original plans after he made these silly little Avengers regret ever having heard his name.
