An Outsider

Mass Effect: Underworld

On that note, if anyone does have any loyalty missions they'd like to implement please hit me or MrD up with them. We'll work with you to implement them into the story. We've got plans of where this RP is going to go, and what sort of challenges the team will face, but we've left it as flexible as possible to allow for you guys to bring your own missions to the table. It's always been my intention to get you all as involved as possible with the narrative here.

Marvel REBORN (ALWAYS OPEN!)

Looking forward to getting this show on the road.

If anyone wants to ever work with the Prince of Lies hit me up, and we can discuss ideas. Faen would be very keen to have an ally (read: meatshield) at his side.

Marvel REBORN (ALWAYS OPEN!)

Prince Faen Lokison

Spider-Man was busy, but don’t worry, I got this.

Name

Prince Faen Lokison

Alias

He hasn’t picked one. The media calls him the Asgardian when they’re being complimentary, or Kid-Loki when being scathing.

Age

21

Powers

Faen's greatest weapon is his genius-level intellect. While having about an average knowledge of technology and science he is an incredibly cunning planner and manipulator.
Due to his mixed parentage, he possesses enhanced strength, durability, stamina and resistance to cold. While nowhere near superhuman levels he is physically more powerful than an average human.
He has also become a keen student of magic and the mystical arts, with an affinity for illusions. Due to his youth and the fact that he is entirely self-taught he is by far from the most powerful mage in the world, but with training and guidance he has the potential to become incredibly powerful.

Weaknesses

Faen, while not quite a coward, detests being involved in a physical battle. He will do everything within his means to keep the fighting at a polite a distance as possible. Couple this aversion for a fist fight with a complete lack of close quarters combat training and you have the recipe for quite a liability in the front lines.
He is also in the habit of overestimating his abilities, especially dangerous with the potentially destructive magics he manipulates. He often underestimates the intelligence of those around him, which can quickly lead to his downfall.
Faen plays his cards close to his chest. A good trait for a poker player, a poor one for someone on a team. Faen will formulate then act on a plan without telling his team-mates, treating them like pawns in his machinations.

Personality

Cunning, Cocky, Witty

Experience

About six months.

BRIEF Bio

Born the son of Sarah Johnstone, of Midgard, and Loki, god of trickery and mischief, Faen was always going to struggle in our world. He was conceived twenty years ago, when Loki was hiding out on earth after failing once again to usurp the throne of Asgard. The God grew weary of licking his wounds, yet wasn't ready to begin his schemes once more. To alleviate the boredom, he decided to emulate his brother Thor, and take up with a mortal woman. He found Sarah, a waitress living in Los Angeles. She was a weak-willed woman, more than willing to receive Loki, who enjoyed wrapping her around his little finger. Soon she fell pregnant. Loki stayed with her the entire time she carried the babe, until the day of birth. As she lay in the hospital bed Loki declared he was leaving her. She begged him to stay, but nothing she said could dissuade him. The only concession he would give is that he would name his son – "Prince Faen Lokison," before disappearing down the hospital corridors and out of Sarah’s life.

Weak and broken hearted she may have been, it was obvious Sarah still loved Loki. She told the boy, and anyone else who happened by, that he was the son of the God, and destined to rule both Asgard and Midgard. Most didn't believe her and mocked mother and son for what they seen as her mental instability. Those who did believe her either hated or feared the boy for his heritage to evil. The children were the cruellest, constantly mocking or attacking Faen. Despite being stronger than all but the largest of men he was never a fighter, and accepted the beatings and took their taunting to heart. Despite these hardships, it wasn't all unhappiness. His mother loved him, and encouraged him in all things. At a young age, he realised he could affect cosmic energies, what his mother called 'magic'. He had a voracious hunger for knowledge, and he would devour any tome or textbook he could get his hands on (admittedly very little, but he made up for that shortcoming with boundless enthusiasm) He started supporting his mother’s small wage packet by performing small magic acts or sleight of hand tricks for tourists. It was a hard life, but they got by.

The years past and Faen grew to become angry at the father he never met. He was still taunted by others, but he no longer meekly accepted their abuse, meeting it instead with a caustic wit and a skill for illusion. While Faen became a powerful young mage, his mother wilted, due to her broken heart. She became ill, but the doctors couldn't find a cause. Then, sometime after Faen’s twentieth birthday, she passed from this life to the next. Faen sat at her bedside the night she died. Just before the end she elicited a promise from her son, for him to do something good with his life, just like she always knew he could.

To complete the promise Faen has decided to defend the world that his father has long sought to conquer. He has decided to become a hero, in the vein of Thor or the Avengers. Only time will tell how this will work out for him.

Key Differences

To be fair I don’t know much about the Asgardian of comics lore, or what’s going on with the canon Loki just now, so I’m assuming there’s gonna be a lotta differences here.

Sample Story Arcs

Faen has to fight his dad. Maybe dealing more heavily with Asgardian stuff. If there’s no other applicants for mystical characters I could also do a storyline where he inherits the title of Sorcerour Supreme from an aged Dr Strange.

Supporting Characters

Beta Ray Bill, Loki, other Asgardian threats.

Notes

Faen is Norwegian for devil, or in some places bastard. Loki obviously meant it as a joke, but to his son it seems a strangely fitting name as he is the bastard of a devil.

Faen has no secret identity as he has no one in his life he feels he needs to protect. His alias, Kid Loki, comes from when on his journey to New York he stopped in at a gas station. The station was being held up by an armed robber. Thinking quickly, he illusioned an image of an angry hulk standing outside the station, roaring at the thief. The thief instantly dropped his weapon, surrendered and wet himself. The security videos of the incident, and the eventual reveal that it was Faen and not the Hulk who was to thank for the save, went viral. On one message board they called Faen 'Kid Loki’.

@alexfangtalon He knows he has them, but they've never met. He'd be more than happy to keep it that way, after the stories he's heard.

Mass Effect: Underworld

@AquaAzura Go for glory on either. Salarian would be very welcome here, and seeing as you'd be dropping an Asari, you'd be freeing yourself up another biotic spot. Also the medical expert would be a huge boon to this team. Either concept works for me.

@Burning Kitty I lot of folks were suggesting 'Hulk Logan' on that message board your picture was on. It's not the most threatening of names, but it does tickle me.

Lol I'm afraid I'm a



kinda guy. He's easily my favorite X-man now.

Mass Effect: Underworld

@Leos Klien So what is Discord?

Not yet mate, it's getting pretty late here and I'm about to head off. I'll be getting on it tomorrow. You've still got plenty of time if you want to post.

@SgtEasy Fair play to you, writing on your mobile. I wouldn't have the patience for that.

Yeah, I think it was to expensive for the site owners to continue maintaining.

Mass Effect: Underworld

I've heard that Titanpad is getting shut down in about six months, so google doc might be a better option. Unless anyone knows of any other, similar programs that they've got a preference for.

Because Wolverine is amazeballs.

Also if someone objects to a Wolverine Hulk hybrid in this RPG it's cool, I'll just play Ms. Hyde.

@Burning Kitty

Oh no, I've got no problem with your character choice. I'm interested in seeing how you plan to implement it actually. I meant Why? to KL's claim that they should have brought back a younger Wolverine instead of the young X-Men.

Mass Effect: Underworld

@PrivateVentures To be honest this kind of initial pace is pretty standard in my experience. Now we just need to work on maintaining it.

@MiddleEarthRoze That's great to hear. And don't worry about our surplus of infiltrators, we'll make it work. To be honest I hadn't realized we had so many, but your were one of the first to show interest and the way I see it you shouldn't have to scratch a character you've worked hard on for so long just because we have a few characters of similar class. I had more of an issue when we had a lot of biotic characters, but that's because I think biotics is far more open to abuse that tech skills.

@SgtEasy Chatzy? I'm assuming that's some kind of instant messaging type thing? I prefer to just use the OOC for chatting and such, as I've found that an active OOC really helps the longevity of an RP, and a chat server just doesn't have that same effect. We could start up a Titanpad/Google doc/something of that ilk, to make it easier if anyone wants to collab a post together though. If you guys really want to start one that's up to you though.
