Modern Loki and Odin

In writing an adaptation of Norse mythology, I've done a lot of thinking about the incarnations of Loki and Odin.

Loki: the embodiment of chaos; maniacal, calculating, manipulative, manic, vengeful, spiteful, unpredictable. The all-time-greatest con man. A snake charmer. A devious genius. Here are some familiar faces I've used for inspiration:







Odin: the embodiment of command; all-knowing, all-wise, the all-father. Lost an eye to gain sight towards the future, then lost wives and children willingly, with little fight. Eternally old, brooding, furious, honorable, principled, condescending, despondent, gray.
