Luke Vanderson [Loki Odinson] AU

All SHIELD agents are reminded that Agent Loki is not, in fact, the enemy, despite his frequent actions to the contrary.  Would the older agents stop implying that he is to the younger agents and new recruits, as this causes obvious friction that we do not need. -Fury.

Fury, I don't care what level of importance the latest mission has.  I'm not taking a whole three weeks out of my time off in order to go along with it.  I do have an actual job. -Loki

---

Thor - or anyone, really - can you tell your brother to stop suddenly being a lady?  It's highly distracting. -TS

I thought that was the point. -Loki

At least warn US before you do it next time then, OK? -TS

Will it make a difference to your level of distraction? -Loki

...No. - TS

Then I see no point. -Loki

Damnit.

Note to all agents: Agent Loki's bookshop is his out of hours, out of costume retreat, and it is not a widely known and public fact that he is, in fact, either Loki or our agent.  I'm asking politely that you stop using it as a damn company library and ordering service. -Fury

Thank you. -Loki

This is a SHIELD-wide notice that is going out to all agents: Just because either the Consultant or Agent Loki deem something to be a good idea, is not a good reason to go along with it.  They may be agents, and we may need them, but use your heads next time. -Fury

Accounting would like to inform Agent Loki Odinson (AKA 'Luke Vandersson') that while last Saturday's trick was, admittedly, rather amusing, the price tag attached to the repairs involved most certainly is not.

Research and Development, however, would like to congratulate Agent Loki in his latest venture, and await his next with eager anticipation.

Agents are reminded yet again that while in costume, Agent Loki is not to be referred to as an agent, or as his civilian persona, 'Luke Vandersson'.  Likewise, while leading his civilian life it is similarly frowned upon to refer to him either as an agent, or as Loki. His status as a SHIELD agent is classified, and it is his own request that these two sides of his life remain unconnected in the public eye. -Fury

[OOC: Highly inspired by this Tumblr blog: http://memosfromfury.tumblr.com/.  Although all of mine are set within this world, and are either generic or referring to situations that would realistically occur with Loki in the team.]

Personality:

As Luke, he's rather mild-mannered.  Quiet, more likely to take things in and comment to one side than take direct action.  He knows his books very well, as he's devoured most of the things on the shelves.  He's likely to solve a person's problems simply by doing/saying apparently random things that have no bearing on the situation, yet actually work out to the advantage of... most.  He isn't above pranking, but most of the time it's subtle enough that he doesn't get laden with the blame.  His temper is, ironically, more aptly described as cold fury.  He'll take whatever the person did to annoy and/or anger him, and wait until the right moment, and then unleash his anger calmly and methodically, either through words or otherwise.  This is due to his internalising everything - Luke is a direct result of Loki internalising everything that would otherwise have made him go insane and destructive.  Needless to say, while this is good in the short term, this is not actually good.

As Loki, he still retains much of what makes him Luke.  The reasoning for this is that the two are not separate entities; they are both Loki, and they are both merely ways of displaying himself to the outside world.  However, as Loki there are a number of differences.  He will be far more stand-offish, much more prone to reject advances and less likely to accept the idea that someone actually means him well.  He acts more befitting a prince, having acclimatised himself to Earth's informal (and American) culture as Luke.  He also is less bothered about people knowing what he is capable of.  The biggest difference, however, is how he handles his temper - while the cold rage does still appear, it's just as likely that Loki (at first, at least) will quite simply explode, his frustrations and anger issues having been bottled up over the time he hasn't been paying them any attention.  They were not gone, simply waiting.  This may mean raised voice, threats, or even carrying through of threats and violence either physical or magical.

Appearance:

Exactly the same as in Avengers canon.  He is, however, more prone toward somewhat more relaxed body language now, and wears less formal clothes, such as trousers and long sleeved t-shirts/turtle-necks.  His main colour scheme is still dark and centred around black, brown and green.

He still has the ability to summon his armour, he simply hasn't used it in a very long time.  The armour is exactly the same.  He does not, however, have the spear he's seen using in Avengers.  This is because (quite obviously) these events didn't happen the same way, and he was not being 'Loki' at the time.
