How One’s Misfortunate Changes An Optimistic Outlook
;tw: Abuse of all kinds
;pre-death
Judgement day–the cries of justice from the crowds. Roars fuelled by the pain and rage over the death of their beloved Baldr. His fate was set in marble stone, and as the glimmer of light for the chance of being granted the ‘non-guilty’ sentence started to look bleak, so did the mind of the Trickster. Where hope was distinguished, madness manifested, and Sinner plummeted in a mind congealed with pure loathing and desolation of the man whom he once considered akin to he.
And above all, the desire, the craving, the need to avenge himself against the God whom had wronged him. It fuelled his inhibition, caused him to uphold his pride after the abuse he sustained whilst damned to a living hell.
The cell:
A dreary, stagnant and unhygienic crypt shoved far below the surface plains of the Halls of Asgard. It was an impeccably hostile environment to live in. He had no hearth to warm him, no pillowed bed to lie upon, no candle to light his way. It was a state of living that Sinner was unfamiliar with, yet he soon readily accepted this and made do with what little he had.
He was given meagre portions of food, exhausted and given no reprise from the greedy hands of the guards. In return for his ‘leniency’ he was allowed some of the scraps of food supposedly meant to be given for him, but which ended up rolled in rat piss, or worse, in the mouths of those who were supposed to keep an eye on him. They abused him, abused him until he retaliated and they came to learn to fear this madman. Though these men left and others soon replaced them, and the vicious cycle would repeat itself once more.
Deception had Thor and Queen Frigg left ignorant to his living standards of Sinner for many years. Though guilty of Baldr’s death, no soul deserved the treatment he was given, and set Thor to investigate and thereby order the deaths of all the guards whom had wronged the man whom he once considered a brother. He was taken to a hospitable cell and was left in relative peace. Although, the ghastly memories of his abuse continued to haunt Sinner, and he never recovered. By then did the Beast begin to emerge—a terrible power that would bring forth his death in years to come.
The courtroom:
What is one to think when all eyes are upon you, all hatred is directed at you, and you can not defend yourself from this indignation for you have been silenced? Sinner tried at first, he growled, he bit, he spat and shoved, which won him shackles and a muzzle. That was his reward—to be stripped of his own decency. He was pushed about, disregarded for his right as a being of the Aesir for he was not one, nor was he a Jotuun. He was a bastard and an outcast, and neither realm would accept them as their child.
So he learned to keep quiet, observe only though the sense that they could not reprimand—his sight, and he would watch, and he would think, and sinister thoughts would manifest and leech off him throughout night and day.
How One’s Past Influences The Present
{ Please note that Sinner is pre-death Loki, and Syndarinn is post-death }
This Loki is solely Myth and Headcanon-based.
Sinner is 3'000+ years old and was born on April 23rd.
Sinner shared little relevance in terms of demeanour than the associated Trickster-God in the Myth. He was no longer identified as ‘the Trickster’, and was commonly aloof and vicious. Sinner was the God of Sinisterness and Treachery. Syndarinn has yet to claim a title.
Sinner’s children are dead with the exception of Sleipnir. The souls of his kin, Hel, Fenrisulfr and Jormungandr were harboured within his body. Sinner had essentially become a vessel for his children. They were killed by Odin’s orders in an attempt to delay the coming of Ragnarok. Any other children associated with Loki from the Myths are discredited. Sinner was married to Sigyn for a period of time, although it was arranged and he later divorced her.
What transpired in the Myths is associated with Sinner, though there is a twist. To narrow it down:
1. Sinner spoke of Ragnarok to Odin after experiencing a premonition which lead to the deaths of his children by the All-Father’s orders.
2. To get back at Odin, Sinner partook in the death of Baldr as the Myth fortold.
3. Sinner was once a close confidant to Thor, Odin and Frigg, and thought himself an Asgardian despite his Jotunn heritage. After the murders he broke off ties with them and became someone quite unlike his past self.
4. Sinner was left in a cell for an age after Baldr’s death. The Banvaenn began to emerge around the end of his sentence.
5. He was given the markings upon his hands by Odin to restrict his magic before being banished to Midgard for the rest of eternity.
6. Sinner died a lonely and very painful death on Midgard at the hands of his son, Fenrir whilst in Banvaenn form.
7. Syndarinn appeared on Midgard some time after. He carries the memories and skills of his previous self through snippets in his mind that are triggered by familiar occurences such as impressionable people/favoured places/or little things that could be taken as insignificant to others.
This blog will feature two storylines. Pre-death (Sinner) and post-death (Syndarinn). The post-death storyline is considered my main, and all starters/threads will apply to that unless otherwise specified.
