Monstrous Physique — Loki (SF)

Hey, there! Luis here! Did you hear? The new Loki show is out! Unfortunately, my wife is out of town for a few more days, so I actually haven’t started watching it yet. I’ve been avoiding spoilers like Loki avoids lightning storms. While I wait for her to return so we can watch the show together, I’ve found solace in a little thing called roleplaying games. I’ve decided to stat up Loki for Starfinder to keep me satiated while waiting to watch the show. One thing I realized while statting him up is that a lot of Loki’s abilities are derived from his magic. Starfinder has lots of fitting spells that work to represent his abilities, but the ease of use that spells brings cause his stat block to look kind of thin. I promise he’s a very capable trickster with his array of spells! In fact, let’s have a look at this stats.

 As a swift action, Loki creates up to two daggers, one in each free hand.

Loki, Prince of Asgard, Odinson, rightful heir of Jotunheim, and God of Mischief, is burdened with glorious purpose. His desire to be a king drives him to sow chaos in Asgard. In his lust for power, he extends his reach to Earth where he believes they need a ruler and encounters unlikely heroes that interfere with his schemes. Loki is an ever-scheming individual; the God of Mischief, he meddles in people’s lives and even lead them to their inevitable deaths as it makes him feel powerful, often using superior ploys or ulterior designs upon his enemies. Compared to his boisterous older brother, he always seems to be calm, peaceful and quiet, but in truth has the mind of a cold, calculating killer and is constantly formulating machinations that would achieve his power and respect that he truly believes he deserves.

That’s it for this week! If you end up introducing Loki into your game or you have any request for a future Monstrous Physique, please drop me a line at KnowDirection@hotmail.com.
