Loki Eliot

(*updated at end for 2024)

Loki Eliot (Odinboy666) is known by many residents in SL, especially from the SL Kids community. First arrived in October 2005 and since then has made an name in the child av community with his shops, his DJing, island retreats for adventrous virtual kids and his production of virtual child pornography.

KID AWARNESS After attacks were made on some of his fellow child av residents, Loki started an awareness campaign realising that those being virtual kids in SL needed to be more thoughtful about how they acted around others.

POLICIES ON AGEPLAY At the beginning of 2007 Loki was given a notecard expressing a new policey Linden Lab had on so called "Sexual Ageplay". This note card caused outrage across second Life community as it was seen as the start of oppression on residents who were ageplaying. Chadrick Linden assured Loki that his islands did not break the new policey.

STEAMPUNK STREET URCHINS Loki built a few places in New Babbage. There he owns an old theatre that holds many secrets. He owns a Absinth Cafe and shop. He is leader of the steampunk kids.

The Murder mystery and Eliot device. Late 2007 a series of murder mystery roleplays happend in New Babbage. It was later revealed Loki Eliot was the writer behind the story. The story involved members of secret societies, mad professors experimenting with machines and occult, warewolves, Old gods, kidnappings and hidden rooms. The story can be seen from two very good recordings of the events taking place between august and september.

The Steampunk video In July 08 Loki produced a short film showing the town of New Babbage. The video took off not only as a good example of steampunk but also showed what is possible with secondlife. [[1] M Linden (Mark Kingdon CEO of Linden Lab) mentioned the video in an interview "Stunning video... Philip sent me a link to YouTube and said 'Mark, you should check this out', and I'd just seen it the same morning... it was really arresting because of the kind of foggy, smoky atmosphere, and it was beautifully filmed and I was just incredibly moved by it..." ][link titlelink title]

THE SL GOONIES Loki's gang is called the Goonies based on an old 80's film. To be in the gang you have to complete an initiation. Being in the Goonies means you get to take part in the Goonies Adventures. And there is a web site about the adventures [2]

GOONY ISLAND Due to real world situations that he wont detail (detailed later in article), Loki was away for 3 months at the start of 2008. On his return he moved his popular Island to a devoted sim called Goony Island next to Whippersnapper. Apparently to make Nemo Beach safe incase he were to disappear (incarceration). Later it was learned that Loki's real life typist had been made unemployed putting him in a situation where he could no longer pay the tier for Goony Island. But with the help of those who frequently use the Islands the tier is being successfully paid.

{C}SL5B {C}In June Loki Eliot was key person in the SL5B drama. He and Marianne McCann submitted their ideas to the SL5B event. They were then told they would not be allowed to build their ideas because "the scope of the SL5B event has changed this week, where Linden Lab want to take a more active role in the event" "LL cannot "sponsor" your community in a public way ;-(". Their community being the Child Avatar community.

After two weeks of campaigning and falling out with his own community over kid5b, Loki and other child avatars were allowed to submit their ideas again. Loki's Childhood Dreams Dome went on to be a very popular and inspirational exhibit. SL5B and other SL events could be changed for the future after what had happend.

KID5B Some saw it as "Not exactly falling out but tried to take over the event." But others saw that Loki tried to bring project management to what was a big event.

in 2010 Loki decided to upgrade the homestead of Goony Island and changed its name to Escapades Island . Saying the old island was to small and that he wanted more space to do more things. He also left the SLC group to concentrate on new ideas.

In New Babbage Loki created the Black Heart role-play game.

2011 Loki learnt to create mesh objects and rebooted his clothing brand. He also created fun games on Escapades island and became featured several times on the Second Life Destination guide. In New Babbage Loki finished the 5 year story about Jason Moriarty with the Dark Aether Falls story. Darker than the previous stories it's been said to reflect Loki's personal life where in the same year he lost a close friend to suicide. He said Dark Aether was the last big RP he would be doing in New Babbage but hinted at something new for 2012.

In early 2024, Loki was named in an article alleging staff and members in SecondLife were participating in behavior sexualizing minors. While Loki wasn’t directly implicated in the sexual ageplay within the grid itself, it was revealed that he had under an alter ego (Odinboy666), been creating and selling simulated child pornographic images (worst not linked due to graphic nature. Google at own risk) and graphic written stories for many years. Both often contained the rape, incest and sexual arousal of child victims of violence. Possession and especially creation of these types of materials are illegal in his home country of the UK, as well as meeting criteria established by the US Supreme Court to violate obscenity laws. Searches through Loki’s old Demonkid666 blog and Odinboy666 galleries made it very apparent from multiple similar artistic styles, blogging styles, ability progression, writing styles and even identical original character creations like these that they were in fact the same creator. Some of Odinboy666 very early works (searchable on rule34.paheal) even bear the Lokiboy watermark once used in SecondLife & YouTube, on subjects specifically mentioned in his blog. Prior edits to this article also include the 666 moniker. It also put an unsettling context to the revelation that he had worked with a studio creating fetish vore, and short films based on cannibal paedophiles, serial child killers and violence against children, using many real child actors. As these facts were brought to light, Loki shirked responsibility, and instead began deleting and removing all old Loki blogs ,Odin galleries and accounts, as well as changing multiple account names, in an attempt to destroy the connecting trails. These attempts were too late however as many had already archived and screenshot them in their original form, and IMDb reviewed name changes for accuracy. It also served to highlight the identities being the same individual, as both initiated deleting histories at the same time. Many traces of old blogs and unchanged Twitter handle links still remain public however, after years of commenting and utilizing forums and pages. Combing through one of the oldest blogs (Demonkid666), also revealed that in mid 2000’s, Loki’s previously unexplained months long absence and subsequent unemployment had been because his typist in real life, Lee Cooke from Devon (found publicly in a since deleted blog post and credited here as Escapades logo creator. And here in an original pencil sketch he published.), had been charged and plead guilty on 10 counts related to child pornography. The charges stemmed from possession and production of dozens of images showing “particularly serious abuse of children” as well as videos he had created with hidden cameras in bathrooms and out windows of his home. He was given a short, suspended sentence as a first time offender, and under the hope that rehabilitation could be done and make him “a more useful member of society by dealing with his sexual distortions.”. These efforts unfortunately failed, as his galleries show his behavior resumed under the new odinboy name shortly after his release from supervision.

Loki/Lee’s denial in the face of increasingly overwhelming evidence made it difficult to determine if those continuing to stand and defend him were just ignorant to the facts, blindly believing his lies, choosing to ignore the truth from embarrassment or had in fact been complicit participants to his actions all along. Either way, what was certain is that the multiple communities and organizations he once represented suffered irreparable damage to their reputations because of his deviances and their negligence.
