The young Scottish VALORANT agent Clove possesses powers unprecedented among even their fellow radiants - the power over the essences of life and immortality. Each death instead brings them to a whole new world, a junction between the realms of the living and the dead, one that Clove will journey through on their way to return to life and resurrect themselves. But such abilities are unlikely to be a blessing forever, and Clove themselves finds they can never spend too long in the junction beyond life as the longer they spend there, the harder it is to return.

Personality[]

Clove is fearless as they do not see death as a scary thing, in fact, they see it as beautiful. They are described as a Scottish troublemaker, which can be told in part by their bold personality; getting into the fight, without holding back.
Appearance[]
Clove is a young agent with short hair, dyed black at the roots that fade down to a pinkish/purple color at the ends. Their eyes are a silvery light blue. They have a headband with two small black horns, and wear several silver hairclips in their hair. They wear a pink short-sleeved jacket, with colored markings, underneath a black shirt with white sleeves, with "HELLO" written near the collar. They wear purple shorts with a black cat design above the hem, wearing dark blue leggings underneath scattered with multiple blue butterflies. Their shoes appear to be purple with white soles. They accessorize themselves with jewelry such as a choker, a matching bracelet, a butterfly-esque earring, and nine rings; two of which are each half of a butterfly, one is a heart with horns, one appears to have a neutrois gender symbol attached to a single chain link to represent their nonbinary identity, while the rest are more simple. Their nails are painted black with blue French tips apart from the index and middle nail on each hand, which are black with blue butterfly wings, each nail being half of the butterfly similar to the rings they wear. They also carry a backpack and a fanny pack with straps across both sides of their waist.
