CURRENTLY ON: ???
Character Background
Loki was born and raised on Maridun, under the strict tutelage of his grandfather, Barabas Tosca.
He had a brother, Roku, who was 2 years his senior.
Aged 13, Loki was rescued by explorers on Maridun, and found himself in the care of a family of refugees from Alderaan. There had been no sign of his old master or his brother when he was found.
When it was discovered he was Force sensitive, the family placed him in the care of a smuggler who eventually saw him to the secret Jedi refuge fleet, known as the Wheel.
Loki settled on Ossus with the Jedi, and helped build the new settlement, dividing his time between carrying out routine droid maintenance and training the new wave of padawans in lightsaber drills.
In a training incident, in which he willfully injured Draiya Naaianeya, Loki came to realise that he was not compatible with the Jedi of Ossus, and left, to seek out a new purpose.
His travels have since taken him to Junction, where he narrowly escaped an encounter with the Empire, and Imperial Knight, Matatek Sel Vissica, then to Jovan Station, where he lied low, earning his keep as both a part-time droid engineer and a Tea House masseur.
While on Jovan Station, he met Li Ho Fook, who took him under his wing as a fledgling bounty hunter and enrolled him in the Bounty Hunter’s Guild. He has since been learning his trade, travelling between worlds, taking on all manner of jobs, with and without his bounty hunting mentor.
During his most recent job, Loki fell off the radar, and has since been missing for several months.
Raw Material
Loki is a clone of Kallum Romanoch. Neither are aware of this, and they have never met. Physically, they differ only in age and in the colour of their eyes: Kallum’s eyes are blue, whereas Loki’s are an uncommon cyan hue.
Until recently, Loki has been unable to clearly recall the events that led to his escape from Maridun. He always believed he was the sole survivor of a sudden and vicious attack that took the lives of both his grandfather and his brother. Always, he remembered the red blades in the dark.
Loki is now haunted by visions, flashes of memories from another life, and struggles to determine what is real and what is fantasy. In these disjointed visions, he sees his own face everywhere, and it is the face of friends and of enemies. Even more disturbing, are the visitations he has been receiving from the apparition of a man who calls himself “Joe.” And, to his grave concern, it has become clear that “Joe” is visible to him, and him alone.
In his solitude, Loki wrestles with the newfound truth of both his origins and his upbringing, and mourns the loss of a lie that had once been the bedrock of his whole identity. He takes refuge from his fleeting sanity in meagre work and sordid vice.
It has been a long time since Loki last took up his once precious lightsaber. He has become disillusioned with the broader plight of the galaxy and has grown cynical.
His combat skills continue to be utilised in the pursuit of bounties, and occasionally, inside the cages of underground fighting tournaments. It is his one remaining pleasure.
Plot Ideas
If you are unaffiliated with the Alliance or the Empire, and are in need of protection or an enforcer, then Loki is in need of credits.
If you are a Force user in hiding or on the run, then perhaps there might be a shred of sympathy left in Loki’s cold heart to help you.
If you have any kind of history with Loki, perhaps you can help him face his past, and build bridges anew.
If you are a Jedi, Loki is directionless and needs hope. Can we be friends?
If you are a Dark Sider, Loki is fragile and susceptible to manipulation. Can we be friends?
If you need someone hunted, or if you want to be hunted, Loki wants to hunt.
If you have PTSD, let's share our feelings, or irresponsibly self-medicate together. Misery loves company.
Existing Relationships
Li Ho Fook - bounty hunter, mentor who trained Loki to hunt and introduced him to the guild.
Shuvin Undhi - prodigious mechanic, a pretty, potty-mouthed girl who helped him escape the Empire on Junction.
Ben Merasska - captain of Alderaan, who ferried Loki to safety from Junction and granted him temporary refuge onboard his ship.
Cerie Moreau - mysterious first mate of Alderaan, who happens to have an unnerving resemblance to Loklorien s’Ilancy, and also helped Loki to escape from Junction.
Taataani Meorrrei - First Minister, business mastermind, nemesis. Loki has a long and storied history with the mother of Cirrsseeto Quez, theirs is a relationship of antagonism tempered by mutual respect.
Rai’faani Meorrrei - baroness, and lush daughter of Taataani, they met in the Tea House, where she alluded to a man in her mother’s employ who bore a striking resemblance to her Jedi masseur.
Gantuhar - Trianii Ranger, hedonist, with designs on becoming the High Priest of the Tea House. Despite his strangeness, Loki found his stories fascinating. They shared a bath.
Halajiin Rabeak - Jedi Knight, and Loki’s best friend. As compatible as oil and water, Hal was never one to accommodate Loki’s lofty nature. They clashed often but always made time for each other. When he is with Hal, Loki is at ease enough to be himself.
The Jedi of Ossus - Loki spent plenty of time with his once Jedi peers, in close proximity aboard the Whaladon, or while building a community on Ossus. By virtue of his rigid and condescending demeanour, these relationships were often contentious.
Current Plots
Several previous threads that will be revisited when I am comfortable in Loki’s skin, once again.
