Loki is the god of trickery, deceit, and shape-shifting. His appearance is often creepy and spider-like, and he is usually depicted with a fishing net or a knot.

Loki was the son of Fárbauti, a giant, and Laufey, a woman of unspecified divinity. He was married to Sigyn, but he had many affairs, including one with a giantess named Angrböda which produced three horrific offspring: Hel, the goddess of the underworld; Jörmungand, the giant sea serpent; and Fenrir, the horrific wolf. Loki was a shape-shifter, which he was constantly using trickery to deceive those around him and cause trouble.

When Baldur told Frigg that he had been having premonitions of his death, she went out to everyone and everything in the world to get their assurances that they would not harm her son. Loki learned, however, that she had not asked mistletoe. He fashioned a spear from mistletoe, and then when he tricked Hodr into throwing it at Baldur, it killed him instantly. Then, when Frigg and Odin were trying to rescue Baldur from Hel, he turned himself into a giantess and refused to weep at Baldur's plight, not allowing Baldur to be returned to the world until Ragnarök.

Loki played a critical role in keeping the giant Thrym from becoming suspicious of Thor disguised as Freya so that Thor could get to the marriage ceremony and retrieve his hammer, which Thrym had stolen. When Thrym became suspicious of how much Thor was eating, or the fiery red eyes behind the veil, Loki explained that Freya hadn't eaten or slept in a week, keeping Thor's disguise intact until he could get his hammer and kill all of the giants in attendance at the wedding.

Sif was Thor's wife and well-known for her gorgeous golden hair. Loki snuck into her room one night and cut it all off. After Thor threatened to kill Loki, Loki went to the dwarves and had them fashion a golden wig which became her most well-known accessory.

Loki shape-shifted into a mare and became impregnated by a stallion, creating the race of eight-legged horses called Sleipnir. The Sleipnir becomes the main mode of transportation for gods such as Odin and other shamans.

Loki was eventually locked in a cave with his wife Sigyn while a snake dripped venom on his face until Ragnarök because of his role in preventing Baldur's return to earth. He tried to shape-shift into a salmon and swim away to safety, but Thor caught him in a net and dragged him to the cave, tying him up with his son Narfi's entrails.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Anansi, the spider, is one of the most popular animal tricksters from West African mythology. Tricksters are mischievous figures who often oppose the will of the gods, resulting in some kind of misfortune for humans. Like many trickster figures, the wily Anansi can change his appearance to look like a human, a rabbit, a fox, or other animals.

West Africans originally considered Anansi to be the creator of the world. He often acted as a go-between for humans in their dealings with the sky god Nyame, and he supposedly persuaded Nyame to give both rain and the night to people. In most stories, however, Anansi is a crafty and cunning trickster who makes life more enjoyable for himself (or more difficult for others) by fooling humans, other animals, and even the gods themselves, often using his cleverness and knowledge of his victims' ways of thinking to trick them and achieve his purpose.

In one well-known tale, Anansi asks God for an ear of corn and promises to repay with 100 servants. He takes the corn to a village and tells the people that it is sacred. During the night, Anansi feeds the corn to chickens. The next morning, he accuses the villagers of stealing the corn, and they give him a bushel of it to make up for the lost ear.

Anansi next meets a man on the road and exchanges the corn for a chicken. He visits another village and tells the people that the chicken is sacred. That night he kills the chicken, and the next morning the frightened villagers give him ten sheep to replace it. Anansi later exchanges the sheep for a corpse, which he takes to a third village and tells the people that it is the sleeping son of God. When the villagers cannot wake the corpse the next morning, Anansi says they have killed God's son. The terrified villagers offer him 100 of their finest young men, and Anansi takes them to God to fulfill his part of the bargain.

There are many other tales about Anansi. Some of them were brought to the West Indies, South America, and North America by African slaves in earlier centuries. In some parts of North America, Anansi became known as Aunt Nancy or Miss Nancy in African American folklore.

Occupation

God of Song, Dance, Story-telling, Male sexuality, Duality, pragmatism and trickery.

Powers/Skills

Immortality, Shapeshifting, Superhuman Agility and Reflexes, Singing, Dancing and Story-telling.

Hobby

Creating music and stories to share with humanity.

Playing pranks on mortals and gods alike.Making sex.Causing genocide on humankind when bored.

Goals

Having as much fun as possible, regardless of the consequences.

roughly translated as " Huehuecoyotl is the Aztec god of song, music, dance, mischief and male sexuality, he is part of Tezcatlipoca's family and inherited their shapeshifting ability, to the point of appearing as a female on some myths. Though his name can be The Very Old Coyote", Coyote in Aztec culture was a symbol of pragmatism, male beauty and youthfulness.

Personality

Huehuecoyotl could be best described as a dualistic god, possesing deep levels of wisdom and yet being capable of unbelievable immaturity and stupidity, being willing to help humans in moments of necessity, but feels no remorse in causing war among them out of boredom. He cannot be regarded as good or evil by neither current or aztec standards.

The most consistent aspect of Huehuecoyotl behavior is that he is very hedonistic, creating elaborate parties and pranks among gods and humans alike, regardless of the consequences of either for the gods, humans or even himself. He is also very social and laid-back, being willing to directly and firendly interact with mortals (having at least one human drummer on his side all the time) and the god of fire and sickness, Xolotl, both things that no other god likes to do unless necessary.

Huehuecoyotl is also bisexual and zoophile, having several sexual/romantic partners regardless of gender or species.

Powers and Abilities

Due to being part of Tezcatlipoca's family, Huehuecoyotl has the ability of shapeshift into any person, god or animal that he wishes to be, but most regulary he just changes his gender, having appeared in some myths as a woman. He may also be able to turn into more monstrous forms, having been sometimes portraited as a demoniac, non-anthropomorphic black coyote, or as a jaguar-like monster with skeletical head.

Being god of music, dance and song, Huehuecoyotl is an amazing poet and storyteller, with several famous Aztec songs being atributted as his inventions. It also can be infered that he is faster and more agile than most gods due to being the god of dance. His track record on partners of either gender or species also shows his talent as a ladies man.

Despite his hedonistic lifestyle, Huehuecoyotl is also capable of considerable philosiphical, spiritual and "street" wisdom, and he can also be infered as rather cunning and quick thinker due to his history as a prankster, though his track record of pranks that backfire implies that he has very bad luck.

Relationships

Huehuecoyotl relationship with humanity can be rather complex and often varies with the circumstances and his mood. Though generaly friendly and laidback toward them, Huehuecoyotl can be rather callous around the humans safety and well-being, being willing to committ genocide among them just because he is bored. despite this outright sadistic attitude at time, Huehuecoyotl doesn't hate humans, being capable of sharing stories, music and wisdom to them, and even helping them if they ask.

The humans, despite acknowledging that he can be dangerously destructive and amoral, nevertheless favored his worshiping because he was literally closer to them than most other gods.

Huehuecoyotl relationship with the other gods can be rather mixed, being generaly friendly toward them, but he can't resist to pull a prank on any of them, despite such pranks often backfiring and cause more damage to him than his victims.

Romantically, Huehuecoyotl has had an affair with numerous gods and goddesses, most notably with Temazcal Teci (the goddess of bathing and sweatbaths), Xochiquetzal (the goddess of love, female sexuality, flowers and young mothers), Opochtli (the left-handed god of trapping, hunting and fishing) and Xochipilli (the god of art, games, homosexuals and male prostitutes).

Huehuecoyotl is also the only friendy of Xolotl, God of Fire, sickness and dogs, in part because of their canine nature, and in part because Huehuecoyotl is just that friendly.

Susanno did not follow the rules, therefore he was kicked out of heaven.

Take-haya- Susa-no-wo or Susanoo is the storm god of the Shinto religion. Younger brother of the sun goddess Amaterasu, he is infamous for his mischievous and sometimes destructive behaviour and therefore has a reputation as being something of a trickster. He is also associated with the wind and the sea and in more recent times has become associated with love and marriage.

Susanoo - A Troublesome Child

The god was born when his father Izanagi washed his nose in the river Woto whilst performing ritual cleansing rites following his experience in the underworld. Initially, Susanoo ruled the Takama no Hara (High Celestial Plain) with his sister Amaterasu but from the very beginning, Susanoo caused trouble by destroying forests and mountains and killing local inhabitants down on earth. For this reason he was banished from heaven.

Susanoo caused trouble by destroying forests & mountains & killing local inhabitants down on earth & so was banished from heaven.

Giving a last farewell to his sister, the storm god once again caused great destruction on his way to the palace of the sun and even the very mountains trembled in his wake. At this, Amaterasu was convinced her brother was up to no good but when challenged, Susanoo claimed he merely wanted to say goodbye and to prove his good intentions he said that if he could miraculously bring into the world five new deities and they turned out to be male, it would prove his honesty. Susanoo then took the 500-jewel necklace of his sister, ate them and spat them out as a mist from which five male deities were born. These new gods or kami, along with three female gods produced when Amaterasu performed a similar feat by eating Susanoo's sword and spitting out three deities, became the ancestors of the Japanese nobility.

Causing the Exile of Amaterasu

Full of exuberant joy at having won his challenge with his sister, Susanoo went on another wild rampage in celebration. Once again, trees were destroyed and so too many rice-fields. Then, to add insult to injury, in a rather tasteless joke Susanoo flayed a divine horse and threw it through the roof of the palace where Amaterasu was quietly weaving. Furious at her brother's outrageous behaviour, the sun goddess shut herself in a cave and only came out again after much palaver and enticements from the other gods. Susanoo, perhaps not unjustly, was immediately exiled from heaven. In some accounts Susanoo took up residence with his mother Izanami in Yomi, the underworld, in other versions he rules the realm of the seas.

Susanno & the Eight-headed Dragon

Descending to the earthly realm, Susanoo landed at Tori-kami in the province of Izumo and whilst wandering along the river Hi, the god was arrested by the sound of weeping. Investigating further, Susanoo found three pitiful figures - an old man and woman and their beautiful young daughter - all sobbing uncontrollably and absolutely terrified by something. On enquiry, they told the god that their distress was caused by a gigantic serpent (known as Yamato-no-Orochi or the Koshi) which came to terrorize the region every year and every visit ate one of the aged couple's daughters.

Now the distressed parents were down to their last daughter, Kusha-nada-hime. Susanoo struck a bargain with them that if he killed the monster he could marry the beautiful girl. Agreeing to this, the parents followed the god's instructions and placed eight cups filled with extra strong sake at each of the doorways of their house. After a while, the monstrous serpent duly arrived with fire spitting from each of his eight heads. When the fearsome creature smelt the sake, it could not resist and each head drank from one of the cups. Consequently, the serpent collapsed completely drunk and Susanoo nonchalantly stepped out from his hiding place and lopped off each of the serpent's heads with his sword. Then opening the creature's belly, Susanoo discovered the special sword, the Kusanagi or 'grass-cutter' (in other versions of the story he extracts it from the serpent's tail). This sword, he presented to his sister, no doubt by way of apology for his earlier misdeeds. The sword was then given by Amaterasu to her grandson Ninigi who was the first ancestor of the Japanese imperial family and it became a part of the imperial regalia, preserved in the temple of Atsuta near Nagoya.

Susanoo's Gifts to Humanity

Despite his reputation as a bit of a bad boy amongst the Shinto gods, Susanoo is credited with giving certain cultural gifts to mankind, including agriculture. He is also credited with founding the ruling dynasty in Izumo, through his son-in- law Oho-kuni-nushi. It is also the location of a major Shinto shrine which is dedicated to the god. In Japanese art, Susanoo is most often depicted with wild hair blowing in the winds, wielding a sword and fighting the eight-headed monster Yamato-no-Orochi.
