- Black sheep. His whole family is like lawyers and socialites and politicians. He wanted to go be an actor. He actually is adopted, but has known that the whole time, it's just not been public knowledge.
- The law firm was Odin and Odinson because lulz. And Odin wanted it to be Odin, Odinson, and Odinson. ;)
- Loki went to law school because dad made him. Did well because he's smart. But once he got out he was like "I want to try to do this for myself first, and then if it doesn't work, I'll come work at the firm and shut up about it." Meaning he wanted to go try to make it on his own as an actor. SCANDAL.
- This all came to a head after Loki had passed the bar and set himself up with some auditions and wanted to leave the house to go to those. There was a ridiculous and horrible argument with Odin (with Thor trying to play interference because he did love his little bro even if he thought Loki was being dumb) and there were harsh words and Odin threatened to disown Loki and Loki did the teenager WELL I HOPE YOU DIE thing and stomped out of the house.
- Loki got the part he wanted and immediately after got a phone call letting him know that Odin was in a coma and Thor was dead in a tragic car accident.
- Investigation showed the car accident was caused because the brake lines of the car had been cut. Now, Loki had a good enough alibi, but someone who had overheard the argument leaked the story that Odin had threatened to disown Loki.
- Frigga, unable to bear the double whammy of a dead oldest son and a husband who might as well be dead, is now in a mental institution BUT WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT. Adele had to step up and take her place in society to keep that hush-hush. (Adele is also the one that took mom to the asylum and committed her because Loki COULDN'T. Because he was the mommy's boy.)
- Feeling utterly tragic and hating life, Loki took over the law firm and tried to be a good lawyer because GUILT and DADDY ISSUES and SOB BROOOOTHEEEEERRRR. He's now a heartless cut throat lawyer type who is basically a bitter, lonely, empty suit.
Additional: - The person who convinced Loki to take the auditions and try to live his dream (which ultimately caused the argument and maybe the accident) was his cousin Steve. Then when Loki took over the law firm and became a super heartless alcoholic lawyer they had a GIANT ARGUMENT about Loki throwing his dreams away and becoming a giant asshole.
- Konan is one of Loki's university friends; they met when he was taking arts courses on the sly.
POSSIBLE PLOT HOOKS:
- Thor and Odin were working on SOME KIND OF BIG DEAL before they got killed. Which may be why they got killed. But this is all nebulous and suggestions are welcome.
- Loki had all sorts of unsuitable university friends before he GAVE UP HIS DREAMS and decided to be A MISERABLE SOULLESS LAWYER.
- I'm keeping the flexible sexuality on him, so early affairs might be another source of scandal.
- Frigga is in an insane asylum.
- Loki is a lawyer for rich people. He would be happy to be your lawyer too, for a price. >:3
- Loki was also the son of a very high-powered family so all of the other rich kids probably know him.
