Appearance
 
Short Description :
A seal-point Siamese tom with scarred paws and sky-blue eyes
Long Description :
Like most of the elegant, foreign breed, Loki has a strange elongated body, the bones and coiled springy muscles sticking out through the silky fur even though the picky cat manages to stay relatively well fed. His pelt is a creamy tan, and dark brown or almost black on his, muzzle, ear tips and his whole tail (which is darker than any other part of him). He has black stockings. that reach half way up his legs and encompass all four paws. Loki is a good climber in general and often finds himself in positions that may seem odd or uncomfortable to other felines though mostly this extends to hanging on a screen door or perching on a fence, grooming himself as though preening.

Though in other cases Loki's affinity for acrobatics have landed him in less than satisfactory situations such as numerous unpleasant encounters with curtains, roof tops, walls, coat racks and one wayward chandelier (it was that event that triggered his complete banishment from the house at a young age). Also from that same stunt, the neat black paw pads on his hind legs are scarred and scabby as though cut on sharp stone. His eyes are wide, narrow and slightly glazed, fox-like in shape and countenance, they always flicker brightly whatever his mood and they are a deep, pale estranged blue like a cloudless sky in mid day.

Loki knows he is smaller and lighter than most budding toms but he can take care of himself just fine, or as least as far as experience fighting over she cats and back-yard trespassers could take him, he has the potentiol be much more fearsome than most cats who still scratch up curtains and drink bowls of cream. Despite being as lazy and picky as any house cat, semi feral or not, can afford to be, he is a great hunter of birds (quite possibly this relates to his attraction to high places). Though many house cats stalk sparrows and larks as they bathe, preen or stretch their wings Loki is one of the few that is actually capable of catching them, and that he does, Often. Remains of those avians foolish enough to cross his fence can be found buried in the rose garden which Loki adoringly tears up whenever he pops back home after a "prowl" as he likes to refer to his long stints away from home, usually pursuing a female who has caught his eye, or adventure in general.
Personality
 
 
Arrogant and wily, the feline embodiment of the court jester. He usually does exactly what he wants to do exactly when he wants to do it. If he comes to admire someone for their intelligence or skill he can come to respect them but he is a hard cat to shock and an even harder one to impress. Loki is extremely self confident and usually tends to have confidence only in... himself. Being impressed however, is specifically important to him, he has always been filled with a kind of intense obsessive curiosity and those who spark his interest or tickle his fancy eventually become his friends, because he changes himself to suit them.

Loki does not know very much about himself when he is alone, he spends a lot of time inside his own head, using challenging stunts and escapades to distract him and other cats fascinate him and he is not happy apart from them, being the embodiment of the social feline despite the solitary nature of his species. He is not intentionally cruel or obnoxious he just has no shame or apprehensions that restrain him, only fancy and that's a fickle thing.

Loki, in a sense, lives to make others happy or at least draw some form of intense emotion from them. He feeds off their reactions, emotions and especially their personalities, which he treasures and saves for later use like keep sakes. He fears more than anything solitude and judgment for his actions but he knows one day his lies will catch up with him and fall upon him like hounds on a fox, tearing his body to pieces in much the way his mind is torn to pieces.

Despite this inner turmoil Loki usually can make himself nothing more than perfectly insanely happy, as long as he is with another cat, or at least with a distraction of some sort. Loki occasionally acts the fool, but he has underlying intelligence and is always willing to learn and try new things, he is extraordinarily open minded and can be the friend of anyone who can tolerate his shifting countenance and his erratic nature, which is akin to that of a peacock.
History
 
Key Dates  
Full History :
Loki's origins are like that of many other kitty-pets. His current house-folk took him as soon as he was weaned from his mother from his home and the others in his litter, he can not remember much of that place except for the sweet scent of his mother, Nia and the soft bodies of a few of his brothers and sister's squirming beside him. When he was introduced to his new domain he quickly familiarized himself with the area but was for a long time alienated from other cats besides the one who already lived there, his father Jet. Jet taught him all the important things about being a well bred cat, how to purr and rub against his two legs the right way to make them smile or bat at pieces of string, how to lap his cream delicately and even how to pose in the sunlight and invoke yowls of admiration.

However Loki branched off from his father's aristocratic (and boring) tendencies and began spending more and more time in their yard peering through the hole in the fence and out into the alleys and even into other yards hoping another cat would come up to speak to him. After a time he became more and more rambunctious in the house, making a nuisance of himself.

Boredom taking its toll from not having enough freedom necessary expend his boundless energy. Through the years he became a more accomplished acrobat scaling heights and leaping distances dizzying even for most of his kind and practicing his outlandish hunting skills until nary a lark dared to perch on their bird bath for a nice dip. His house-folk were never quite pleased with him but one incident became the last straw, the "chandelier" incident in particular.

On the 16th day of the Moon of First Fishing (2008), Loki was struck and killed by a car. It was a quick death, however, and someone was even kind enough to move his body to the side of the road.
