==Appearance==
=== The Signature, "Elegant Mane" ===
Clive is a 6'1 17 year old who is extremely hairy. He is often characterized and recognized throughout the crowd for his signature long naturally wavy hair, which if seen from behind could make you even mistake him for a Girl! He keeps a constant hair routine spending 400 bucks a year to keep his hair as healthy, long and soft as possible. Clive is extremely paranoid and extremely cautious when it comes to hygiene, out of all the misfits he is probably the cleanest, everytime you walk by him you can smell a smooth fragrence of rich redwood soap and he never really sweats all that much, despite his hairy appearance he is extremely clean in nature, and gets really triggered as well as squeamish if his hair were to be dirtied. 
=== Physical Appearance/Muscle ===
Ever since he was a little boy, Clive had been a worker in trades, one of the major jobs he had when he was 15 was highway work, therefore because of all the concrete hauling he had done also has extremely powerful and strong forearms and posture, but rather slumpy and flat biceps, due to his past work he's always done. His height and long hair is enough to shock someone at first, but if you really examine his facial structure, he's actually not all that scary or mean looking. Clive also has an extremely terrible farmer's tan from working in trades for so long, therefore he has a more tanner like appearance. 
==Characteristics==
=== Personality ===
Clive tends to have a lot of personality shifts and usually acts very differently according to who he's around. If he's around say one of his members, or God forbid another metalhead like him he's gonna be extremely rowdy and devious, often engaging in crazed activities, pranks and horseplay. However, normally, Clive is a very respectable man if you approach him and talk to him normally, he's really wholesome and tries to keep a smile on his face as much as he goes, he doesn't like to engage in conflict much at all rather opting for peace whenever possible, but that doesn't mean he won't fight or stick up for anyone he knows and loves! When in a fight, Clive has extremely powerful grip strength due to his immense forearm buildup and his heavy wrists that he gained from working in trades. 
=== Intelligence ===
Clive is also intellectually much more wise and forward thinking, he's of course not full blown nerd but he had always had a fascination with History, mostly due to Iron Maiden and it's themes, he is semi fluent in Latin and plans on studying more as he continues. Often times too, due to Clive's extremely crowded dorm rooms he can be frequently found in the Library, he uses it as a safe space to do his homework and his Aviation work since his Dorm room is extremely crowded. Often times, he is willing to stick up for others who cannot help themselves, and sometimes takes on a mother fatherly role to the less fortunate.
=== Music and Instrument Experience ===
The final but most major fact, Clive is majorly defined by heavy metal and overall music in general. Clive had grown up around a lot of great bands, from his childhood he had first listened to Iron Maiden and was majorly inspired and incatched by their catchiness, this lead to Clive picking up the Bass guitar at the age of 9. He has many inspirations, some of which include Lemmy Kilmister, Steve Harris, Cliff Burton and ESPECIALLY Les Claypool, as Clive had originally had a band that combined the fast tempos of Thrash with the complicated nature of early heavy metal basslines. Therefore it's no surprise that when Clive is on stage he becomes an absolute Animal, playing the bass with bends, shreds, taps and slaps all the while usually being the lead voice in a song. 
==Character Background==
=== Origin and short lived Childhood ===
Clive was born in 1991 in a small trailer in Calgary, while Calgary was his birth home and main place he spent the first few years of his life, his parents were always moving. Growing up Clive was the oldest in his house, born to an Anglo Canadian father (Ray Benton) and a 1st generation Lithuanian mother from Vilnius (Rutas Jankauskas). Growing up he intially had a great life, sure he never really had a true home as his parents would keep on traveling to combat the extremely rising canadian housing prices but overall his first 6 years of his life were amazing. All of which would change when his mother would give birth to his youngest sister, which his mother would die in childbirth. Throughout Clive's entire life he would essentially be the man of the house as his father was too incompetant as he fell to heavy drinking, therefore this lead to Clive working at the ripe age of 14 in trades, where he would develop his strength by working on highways. He would break his back, traveling all the way out east until finally he had reached New Brunswick. This would all change though when his father would get into an extremely bad scandal with his heavy drinking, causing him to fear for his family's life, making him move to the USA to flee charges by the police. 
=== Love Life/Relationships ===
While Clive did have a few relatively forgetable and short lived relationships in Highschool, his longest lasting and arguably most tragic relationship would be between him and a Girl named Jolene Harris. Jolene was a girl that Clive met while attending public school in Augusta, he would first meet her around the end of his freshman year, both were loud rowdy and relatively vintage when it came to music taste, so naturally they was 'like peas n carrots'. While his love life would initially be good, Jolene introduced Clive to weed, which he still does to this very day, not as an addiction but rather a responsible break. All would change though after Jolene became hooked on LSD at a club event, the girl began to exhibit violent behaviors, beating up friends, authorities and sometimes even Clive himself, she was practically uncontrolled, eventually she had gotten expelled which really broke Clive's heart, leading him to do more devious and bad things, which would eventually end up with his bad behavior requiring him to be sent to Thirlcrest.
=== Pre-Thirlcrest Highschool ===
Clive would spend his first few years in the states in Augusta Maine, where he attended a local standard highschool here Clive would meet his closest ever friends, John Ackerman and Charlie Cook whom were like brothers to him, together they would form a shortly lived Thrash band called "The Old Guard", recording demo albums such as "Annhilation" and "No life til Denim". Clive would also find love, he had a girl whom he held dear to him named Jolene, the two were a perfect match as they both had the same perfect balance of Angst and Modesty. However this would all change as due to Clive's extremely tight schedule, his extremely terrible mental state with losing Jolene, his overshooting of classes, and him overall choosing to skip certain classes because of built up stress, often choosing to work on his band and focus more on it than his academic life. Because of this Clive was then sent to a vocational School in Maine, known to us as Thirlcrest Academy, where the story now begins, and his one and only wish is that he could make his family as happy and safe as possible.

== Clique Relations ==
Current Member	🟪
Friendly 	🟩
Neutral 	⬜️
Uneasy 	🟨
Hated 	🟥
=== Misfits 🟪 ===
It's no shocker Clive loves all his fellow Misfit Brothers and Sisters! He actively can be seen hanging around shadows and trying to make them feel welcomed as most other LRs and beyond don't give them the love they deserve. The only time Clive is uneasy with fellow members is if they don't wash and are visibly nasty which Clive views as gross since most do it as their choice.
=== Prefects🟥 ===
He really really really hates the prefects, who doesn't though?! Clive views them as no life, soulless and empty conformists, who always keep telling him to get a haircut even though he takes care of his mane just fine, while Clive isn't a raging anarchist he holds no respect for these children who are only in it for their self benefit.
=== Varsity⬜️ ===
He hasn't talked to too much varsity, Varsity doesn't seem to hate him nor love him much. Clive does respect playing sports as an art and he holds respect to them for their dedication to their craft. Clive himself actually does love a specific sport, he loves Hockey being a long time Calgary Flames Fan, he doesn't have much of a desire for American football, since while they did play it in Alberta, he had never been a fan and expects to see it die out in his homeland.
As for cheerleaders, while he does have a fellow member and friend named Ziggy who likes to frequently chase after them, Clive holds not interest towards Cheerleaders, viewing them all as just a bunch of Taylor Swift wannabes. However he hasn't had an interaction with them that ended up in his hair being insulted, so the Cheers are still very much good in his book.
=== Social Club🟨 ===
Social Club currently is the Misfits' rival clique, but the group is practically dead at this point. Therefore Clive doesn't really hate them all that much, he just holds spite because his high ups told him that they're his rivals, when in reality he holds nothing against him as Clive does frequently dabble in woodworking, making guitars.
=== Astronomy Club🟩 ===
Clive heavily admires the Astronomy club, but thinking about them also makes him very sad. He views (almost) every child that is in the club as having a bright and happy future, and he appreciates there overbaring kindness as he frequently uses their library as a free working space. Not only that but the Nerds are well known for playing GnG, and Clive, being a former Dungeon master, always loves a good game.
=== Preps🟨 ===
Clive used to be right with the preps, just fine with them as a fellow bretheren, since although he wasn't rich, he took care of himself well and uses their exact products as soap. However the only reason why he was tight with the preps was because his good friend Charlie was in there, and with Charlie out Clive sees little reason to be around them much anymore.
=== Bruisers⬜️ ===
As for the local button ups at school Clive hasn't had much of a problem. While he is technically a "weirdo", being long haired and all, Bruisers don't go out of their way to mess with him. His most common comeback to "YOU LOOK LIKE A GIRL!" is "I'm just embracing my viking heritidge!" (even though he has not one drop of nordic blood).
=== Greasers🟩 ===
Overall, Greasers are not that bad and have never been viewed that badly in Clive's book since the day he first came to school. The original Outcasts used to be tight with greasers and vice versa. Clive mostly views them in a positive manor because he too has an addiction to leather, owning 10 different pairs of leather jackets. He mostly views Greasers as equal and as bretheren, since while they follow an outdated subculture so does he, "its reaal simple slick, you like duh 50's, I like duh 80's!"
Although Clive does have a good relationship with the men, even occasionally offering to play some older styled rock n roll for them, the Hangarounds are a whole another story. The majority of the interactions Clive has had with Hangarounds were not the best as they simply can't /STAND/ his hair, viewing him as a big tall and hairy ugly beast. While Clive himself holds nothing personal against them, they seem to be not the kindest with him.
=== T-Times⬜️ ===
While he never interacted with T-Times, there is one member who was able to drum for him one time at the Den, because of this he has one friend from there. But all in all he doesn't really view them too highly, Clive mostly sees newspapers as a thing of the past as the world slowly becomes more and more geared to the internet as the 2010's approach.
=== Peacekeepers🟩 ===
Peacekeepers have always been viewed as good people by Clive, he had never truly encountered any bad members. He just views the peacekeepers as a good active program to help lower violence at the school, and to help encourage more and more people to go outside and to encourage healthy work habbits.
