Loki (MALE)

Loki, The God of Mischief (Male VA)
*Special Note: Loki's pronouns constantly change just like the Trickster themself. The VA will also change accordingly; being a male VA for one set of sentences and then randomly swapping to a female one as well. Both VA's will do the entire script, and swaps will be done in post.

Voice Type: Silver tongued and rhythmic, Loki carries cunning with every vowel; however it's shed of proper maliciousness and instead should be replaced with an active sense of intrigue and testing the waters.

Core Personality:
Loki is the unsung problem solver for the Norse Gods, although none would praise him as such. In a constant state of change, he is never in one place for long- and appears as one thing either. Loki is smooth sailing; calm and controlled with a delightful taste in witty banter and word jungles. Savoring every thesaurus level sentence he strings together, he is always looking for ways to surprise, trick, or play with the other Gods. However, Loki see's himself as a rather dependable person- happy to slink in the shadows and fix the problems of New Asgard without really getting much favor for it. However, just like the fire that flows on Loki's head, so too does his morals wane and change. The Gods are in a constant state of suspicion of the Trickster; never truly knowing if it's a blade in the hand or a blade in the back.

Emotional Tone
Primary Tone: Playful and Witty
Loki in his natural state loves being mysterious and making people double take. If he can't be tricking others with practicality, making people's heads spin or filled with suspicion is another one of his great treats.
"Ah, another fresh find to add to our humble ensemble of New Asgard. I am Loki- the God of... Oh well- we needn't get too introduced now. You will be enlightened in time I'm sure, my fresh faced friend."

Secondary Tone: 
Disconnected, but Empathic
Loki enjoys staying in the shadows out of attention; but also wants to ensure he is knowledgeable. He's the unseen big brother that's ready to have to help out in one way or another. He takes pride in knowing he's got everyone figured out.
"Thor? Oh- what machismo and valour! You truly feel like you are--- hurdling towards a sea faring adventure at high speeds when you talk to him don't you? Oh- yet the juiciest part of the man isn't his deeds; it's the secrets and stumbles that he hides behind that big old beard of his..."
