Name: Loki
(he will not be happy if you try to call him anything else)
Species: Dhampir (three quarters human, a quarter vampire, specifically)
Likes: coffee, ~~Rai~~, peace and quiet
Dislikes: mornings, noise

Loki is one of those calm older brothers you see on television who plays the straight man to everyone else's craziness. Except Loki is technically younger and not-really-anyone's brother and not-quite-straight either, but, hey, who's counting?

And, true to form, no one really, well, listens to him at all. It isn't always intentional, but things being said kind of get lost under all the pie-throwing and the mud-slinging. It's kind of hard to keep track of things around here, and Loki gets that. Well, usually. But even so, is it really too much to ask to get at least a few moments of freaking peace and quiet around here? He really wants to go at least three steps without stepping on someone's toes. Seriously, please.

Other than the usual breakdowns every month or so, Loki is a pretty calm person. Usually. Well, not calm like Rai who is an immovable fortress, but calm in that he doesn't raise his voice, doesn't cuss, doesn't-- well, throw things at people when he has every right to. Right. Calm.

Shiro says he's like the grim reaper, deathly silent right before catching people unawares. Loki privately thinks Shiro's eaten a few too many suspicious-looking brownies of late. Besides, it can't be helped that he likes black. It's a good color. Nice. Solid. Easy on the eyes. It has nothing to do with a preoccupation with death, or any bodily harm whatsoever (usually). It's far too much of a cliche anyway, he thinks.

Sakura thinks he should change his name because, really, quote, "Who names their fucking kid Loki anyway?" unquote. Loki thinks she's crass and should stop sticking her nose into trouble. He happens to like his name, thank you very much, and it can't be helped that his parents liked Norse Mythology just enough to name their son after one of the most infamous gods in it. It also can't be helped that some ridiculous film popularized the name in a "tall, dark, and oh please not another 'poor, misunderstood villain' character" way, all the while butchering the actual mythologies they came from. But, hey, who was he to judge how ignorant and uninformed the masses were? He's just a regular guy, who is definitely not the grim reaper or any relation thereof.

Ai thinks he should start dressing in rainbow colors and watching more cartoons about the power of love and friendship. Loki forgives her for suggesting the former and actually joins her on the couch on Saturday mornings for the latter because she shoves coffee in his face every time. The wonders that caffeine is able to do for his nerves are remarkable. Really, you have to be there to witness it.

backstory

Loki comes from a large family, consisting of his mother (a dhampir--half human, half vampire) and his father (a human) and seven other brothers and sisters. By and large, the household is mostly human, though every now and then one of them displays a small measure of vampiric power. Never anything enormously large, but significant.

Loki himself has little to no powers, vampire-wise, though he does require a few drops of blood every few months or so to survive. He mainly just buys packaged blood from the hospital, now. Last time he tried buying cheaper blood off some less reputable source, he ended up puking on and off for over a week. Do people honestly think it's funny to sprinkle magic in blood? It's not. It's fucking traumatizing to realize that you've just drunk something with magic that you know your body won't be able to take, and you have no idea just how badly it'll be rejected. Loki's even heard, here and there, of dhampirs dying from the backlash. This is some serious shit these people are playing with.

But, hey, he's just a regular guy, who is he to judge people that get their kicks off of almost murdering someone. Kids can be as goddamn stupid as they want. It isn't any of his business. (At least until their stupid reaches him. Then, yeah, it's very much his business, thank you very much.)

Tori always recommends he reports these incidents to the mages' association, but Loki knows that the mages' association has been flooded with all the apocalyptic shit going down lately, and it's not like these guys will ever get anything except a slap on the wrist, at the most.

Mages had never been good at dealing with the vampire-side of things anyway; they're always trying to push off dhampir stuff to the purebloods, even while knowing that the purebloods don't give a rat's ass about the dhampirs, doubly so if the dhampirs are living on human land (which, newsflash, the majority of them are). Loki might be three-quarters human, but he doesn't think he'll ever understand the thought processes of human mages. At least deities have the excuse of protecting the land. These mages just seem to be protecting their egos.

Well, that isn't to say he doesn't like mages. He gets along fine with Tori and Akira, though Sakura and Shiro are a bit up for debate, but Loki figures that's more of their personalities than anything. It's just... he can't comprehend the mindset of a group in power meant to govern but that doesn't, well, govern. It's all rather infuriating.

Rai thinks, personally, that humans should just leave the governing to the gods. Loki almost agrees with him sometimes. Almost.
