I think your username for him pretty much sums up the character. I'm glad you've chosen the mishmash characterization of comics, mythology, and movies for him because frankly I don't think the movies alone really show enough of his history to really let you know where he's coming from. I have seen a lot of Loki players around the web, and most of them are really just not good at portraying him as anything other than a woobie joke, or a completely unhinged megalomaniac. The fact that you try and show all of his facets is very, very nice and a refreshing change of pace.
That said, while my characters (Saori in particular) do generally assume Loki is lying or at the very least trying to manipulate them to his side of things, I do agree that sometimes it may not always come across clearly. It has been clear in our threads, without question, but I could see where others might be tripped up. That's really all the critique I can offer.
And now the fun part.
I enjoy writing with you. You're creative and clever, and fairly easy to talk to. I appreciate that, its nice to see someone being so open and interested in getting around. I've thoroughly enjoyed our threads with Luke and Loki, and I've also really liked our threads with Loki and Saori. The dichotomy between his worldview and hers is very interesting from my perspective, and while I think with time they might grow to like one another I'm definitely enjoying playing her off him as distrusting him. She wants to like him, but its a really conflicting point for the character that I'm really having fun with, and I hope it's interesting for you too. Luke is a whole different matter, and its playing with a different side of Loki that I'm digging as well. Its not nearly as feelspunchy, but Luke has gone out on a limb for Loki and I look forward to seeing where that goes.
Yes, I tl;dr HMDs the first time I give them. Thanks for the fun, I look forward with morbid fascination to seeing the horror that we've got coming up in this draft a lot.
