Appearance
Loke is a slim young man of average height, distinguished by his delicate facial features and his orange hair. While in his human form, his hair is kept in a mildly short, spiky cut, with spiky strands covering his forehead, and other, longer ones jutting upwards from the top of his head.[1] As a Stellar Spirit, his hair is much longer, and kept in more numerous, larger spikes jutting in every direction, with a pair framing Loke’s face; due to another pair of strands, sitting on top of his head, being vaguely reminiscent of animal ears, the rest of his hair mirrors a lion’s mane.[2] It's also worth noting that, as a Spirit, his teeth are sporadically portrayed as being sharp, in reference to his lion theme.[3] Loke’s black eyes are almost always covered by a pair of azure-tinted sunglasses with a thin frame, with one of the only instances in which he was shown without them being during his time as Karen Lilica’s Celestial Spirit.[2] While in his human form, his left ear is adorned by three earrings: initially, he bore a stud and two rings;[1] later on, he was instead shown donning two studs and a flower-shaped earring.[4] His Fairy Tail stamp is located on his back.[5] Among young girls, Loke is widely reputed as a greatly handsome man, being top ranked as the “Mage you want to have as a boyfriend”.[1]
While initially introduced as a member of Fairy Tail, Loke wore a green coat with a wide collar, complete with prominent, spiky, brownish white fur trimming lining the hood, over a light red shirt covered in many flower-like motifs, black pants and whitish sneakers, each adorned by a pair of light green stripes.[6] Later on, his attire received some changes: his coat was given a more prominent collar, darker in color and sporting some lines vertically going up it, and his shirt was replaced by a darker one bearing on the front a menacing skull,[7] with its eyes being hidden by a pair of bands crossing his face; in addition, he switched his black pants to a lighter, looser pair, complete with many pockets reminiscent of small bags, and, similarly, donned lighter shoes, each bearing three bands around and before the ankles area.
As a Celestial Spirit, Loke’s outfit is radically different, consisting of an elegant dark suit, with the jacket left unbuttoned and the loose pants held up by a light colored belt, over a lighter shirt, with a zebra-striped tie (portrayed as plain red in the anime)around the neck, plus dark shoes. When he appeared to defend Lucy Heartfilia from Bickslow, his fingers were also adorned by two more rings other than the one he uses to cast hisMagic: one of them had an "X" shape, the other was plain, and both had edges in relief.
Magic and Abilities
Regulus (王の光 Regurusu): A type of Ring Magic related to his Celestial Spirit's powers which allows him to produce the element of light from his body, Regulus is mainly used to boost Loke's already great melee performance, empowering his physical attacks with wakes of destructive light, which are produced from his unarmed blows in a fashion similar to a lion clawing at its prey.[71] Light can also be employed in other ways, with Loke being capable of emitting it in vast amounts, enough to cover a wide area,[72] and of shaping it into various forms.[73] To activate such power, Loke was initially shown bending his right arm, with the clenched fist pointed towards the sky, and grabbing its bicep with his left hand, before chanting out "O Regulus... Grant me your strength!".[74] Later on, Loke is only shown taking on the stance without actually chanting the incantation.[75]
- Lion Brilliance (lit. Zenith of Regulus)(獅子光耀 Shishikōyō): One of his most powerful spells, Lion Brillance is initiated by Loke taking on his casting stance. This lets out a large amount of light from his body, covering a wide radius.[72] Such bright light can be used to momentarily blind opponents, forcing them to lower their guard, while seemingly leaving allies unaffected, allowing them to maneuver freely while the spell is active.[76] An offensive, seemingly more powerful variation of this move exists, in which the light produced by Loke's body is capable of striking opponents down, as shown from him taking out several armored knights in a moment through its use. While using Lion Brillance this way, Loke assumed his usual stance, but didn't call out the spell's name.[77]
- Regulus Impact (獅子王の輝き Regurusu Inpakuto): Arguably Loke's most powerful melee move seen so far, he performs it by gathering light on his open right palm and then clenching his fist to punch the target. When such punch connects, a large lion's face composed of light is generated, from whose open mouth more light is used to strike and blast the target away with great force. This spell is strong enough to defeat Bickslow in one shot.[78]
- Regulus Punch: Loke punches his target with his fist covered in a large mass of light, taking on the shape of a vertical elongated oval, to enlarge the striking area. This move is powerful enough to send a massive opponent like Capricorn crashing through a stone wall.[79](Unnamed)
- Regulus Beam: Loke covers his hand in light and then releases such light in a beam, which is fired in his target's direction.[80](Unnamed)
- Regulus Blast: Loke calls on Regulus for power while moving his arms in a circular motion, summoning forth his Magic Seal in front of him, from which a large Magical blast of light is shot towards the target. This spel is strong enough to clash with and hold its own against Wendy Marvell's Sky Dragon's Roar.[81] (Unnamed)
Ring Magic (指輪魔法 Yubiwa Mahō): Since Regulus is directly related to his Celestial Spirit's powers, while in his human form, Loke relies on standard Ring Magic, employing physical attacks which look like a less garish version of his signature melee Magic.[31]
- Twister (ツイスター Tsuisutā): Loke touches the Magic Ring he's wearing on one hand with the other hand, summoning forth his green Magic Seal. This prompts a powerful storm to strike the area around him, lifting targets and objects with great force and sending them flying in a circular motion. Strangely enough, while performing this spell, Loke's Magic Ring was placed on his left hand's index finger, instead of his right one, with him touching the ring with his right index and middle fingers.[82]
