[id: a colored, digital drawing of link and marin from link's awakening, drawn back to back. the way it's colored makes it appear surreal and dreamlike. marin stands in front, holding a hand up to her chest, singing with a pleasant smile on her face. she is framed by the light, casting a shadow over link. link is playing her ocarina, glancing over her shoulder to stare at marin with a pensive, sad expression. end id]
This is just gonna be a list on who Loki is, how he acts, and how he interacts with his crew. If anything is edited, I'll reblog the post with an update timestamp :o)
-Loki prefers He/Him and It/Its
-Loki's home planet was Rend, having existed there as a mask for at least two decades before finding another host he deemed suitable enough for himself
-Loki's host, previously named Marcell, had wandered onto Rend with one other crewmate just days before Carlisle came along. He unfortunately had been shot to death by a nutcracker while holding Loki, giving him the perfect opportunity to attach.
-Loki was the first to join Carlisle's 'lone' crew, having been found on Carlisle's first ever visit to Rend. He had been planning on turning him, but after finding himself able to talk with his new host, he got too distracted asking questions.
-He willing followed Carlisle onto his ship, although the dogs chasing them definently encouraged him (having been mauled by one before, he wasn't exactly thrilled to be around them again)
Okay backstory over heres interactions and stuff
-Loki loves to flirt, romantically, platonically, jokingly, anything! He'll flirt with his crew, Coil-heads, Nutcrackers, other crews (although he may scare them with the whole. being a masked thing)
-Loki gets overstimulated very easily! lights, sounds, temperature. It makes him go non-verbal or get upset. Generally he deals with this by hiding in the ship or whatever room he finds himself in. Occaisionally if he finds it fit, he'll find the source of the overstimulation and deal with it.
-Loki acts tough and unafraid for his team, but if he gets cornered and can't find a way out he'll scream like a little boy. He is terrified of being alone again.
-Speaking of being alone, He's not very stable when he is. It's always good to keep an eye on him if he's alone cause he might freak out and get lost or get himself killed (which means more work later. Finding a new host isn't exactly the most fun experience.)
-He's usually very polite when interacting with other crews. He tries to prove himself as a valuable asset, even if it gets him hurt or manipulated.
-He loves his team so genuinely, he hates seeing them get hurt or upset. He goes out of his way to make them as happy as he can... He is a comedy mask after all, it in his nature to make everyone smile :o)
-Interating with other Masked mimics is always a toss-up. If they don't immediatley attack his crew, he's friendly. He is one of them, after all, being near other creatures like him does make him happy. If he realizes his team is in danger though, he's the first to pull a shovel, sign, or shotgun.
-Loki loves to sing (if his hosts body allows it), specifically opera and other such dramatic generes. He uses it to the teams advantage sometimes, drawing dogs away from the ship or distracting nutcrackers, brackens, and jesters.
Uhhhh thats all I can think of right now, I'll add more as I think about it :o)
i'm pretty sure there actually used to be an issue where Big Shots had some priority on spawning across all the bosses, and looking at this and another recent enough clip, i wonder if something similar happened to Lids for a bit.
i beg you to love me, say that i'm enough, but you tell me—
why are you like this? i think there's something wrong with you.
