Clover Reeves

Clover Reeves, also known as Pride, is a member of The Equilibrium and of the Blurred Tides team, owned and played by Pride.

## Appearence

Pride is overall a pale looking, on the thinner side young man with violet hair and eyes. He doesn’t look sickly, but is used to going on missions without a steady source of water and food. He usually tries to wear royal attire with a flashy golden crown on his head. As a Black Ops Hunter, he sometimes has to wear modest clothing.

Pride always carries weapons and grenades around, as he is lacking in physical strength. One of his most used weapons is a prized Ben’s Knife, without poison. He carries a sturdy backpack that is not fully filled, as he wants space to carry other things around. He often carries a Mossberg 590A1 shotgun on his back and one SIG Sauer M17 handgun strapped on his leg. His pistol carries 17 rounds, with 2 extra magazines on Pride himself. His shotgun carries 7 bullets, with 3 extra bullets on his body.  His gear also exists out of 10 glow sticks, 2 stun grenades and 2 smoke grenades in his pockets, and a first aid kit in his backpack. His backpack has a survival kit that has a container with water, rations, flashlight, combat and tool knife, and a compass. His gear often changes depending on his mission, but this is what he carries around no matter the job. His backpack can be filled with other things needed for a mission, and he has no problem changing weapons if it suits a job better. He doesn’t trust his own physical skills, but he believes his training is good enough for him to wield a variety of weapons if needed.

## Personality

Pride is like his namesake, prideful. He sees himself as a prince, second in rank but commands others. He is an ISTJ-A, very observant, introverted and cautious. When he has to be social, he puts on a fake smile and becomes a smooth talker. It is almost frightening how quickly he could put on a mask when needed.

## Biography

Pride was born in [REDACTED], where [REDACTED] Elias Reeves took him in during one of the country’s incidents, taking the child in and legally adopting him after noticing his bravery and potential. The training that Pride went through was harsh and unforgiving, but Elias attempted to be the best father he could be, making the young child want to give it his all. Once he finished his training, he would pass the Hunter’s Exam and join [REDACTED] where he works with his adopted father, having become a Double-Star hunter to be feared.

During his Water Divination, nothing seemed to happen. Pride became more and more frustrated, believing he couldn’t use nen at all. That was when Elias stepped in and assured him that he could do it. All that frustration that was inside of him turned into raw and untamed pride as the glass began to melt, the water had turned into molten gold.

Pride once challenged Elias. Pride boasted how he was more powerful, because he is able to make multiple unique nen beasts with different abilities.

## Skillset

As a Hunter, Pride is proficient in martial arts and Nen. His mastery over Shingen-Ryu allows him to hide his true potential from others, to the point that it works on other Nen masters. To become a [REDACTED], Pride got proficient in a variety of weaponry and learned survival techniques.

## Nen

Pride started training in general just over a decade ago, but spend the majority of his daily time training. He mastered the basic techniques, but if anything is noteworthy about them, it isn't Ren. His Ren is as powerful as the average nen user of his level, but his Zetsu is on another level. Firstly, he needs to use Zetsu for his first Hatsu, but he also uses Zetsu on his missions. When it comes to the advanced technique, he made the jump from Zetsu to In, using it to make his nen beasts invisible. He learned Ken, Ko and Ryu, but the most impressive is the later one. He lacks physical strength, and doesn't have enormous aura storage like some of his colleagues, so he focused on controlling the aura in his body. He can quickly change the aura in certain limbs and move them to others. When it comes to activating Ken or Ko, he is very quick but not that physically powerful. He learned and mastered Shu and Gyo, and is proficient in En.

As for the other categories, Conjuration is a no brainer. To most people, he would seem like a natural conjurer. He was taught by a conjurer himself, and trained as much in it as he could. Seeing as MAnipulation is on his other side, he trained as much as he could in that so he could command his beasts as well as they are created. He also trained, and is still training in Emission and Transmutation, but that is just because he was lacking in them before, and doesn't want to slack off. Due to his nature, he prefers Transmutation over Emission and is able to transmute numbers between his hands, this requires his attention and is overall useless in a fight. His Emission could do a lot better, but Pride thinks he can do enough with Conjuration over Emission. His Enhancement surprisingly isn't the worst category,a s he actually spend time training it. It is only as good as specialist can be, but he sees it as awaste of aura on his nen beasts, because of his effiency.

### Prideful Tactician, Perfection 5th Square: Specialization

By using Zetsu, the user is able to see the world around him like a chessboard. In a 360 degree view, chess tiles appear around, forming 64 tiles in total, like in chess. It goes around him as if he was on the four middle tiles. Each tile is 1.6 meters long, making the  edges 5 meters away, and the corners 7 meters. Once activated, he can focus on anyone, or any*thing* on the chessboard, this allows him to pick up a slight twitch, to a soft wind at the edge of the board, to the most silent arrow behind his back. It only works on one person at the time, Pride can target and let go of a person in an instant. Pride uses this ability to visualize his plans and quickly go through multiple scenarios.

### Checkmate, King’s Pieces: Specialization, Conjuration, Manipulation

Pride can conjure nen beasts that resemble the pieces of a chess board. Pride can conjure 1 queen, or 2 rooks, or 2 bishops, or 2 knights, or 2 pawns. However, if a pawn dies, the user can conjure another pawn in its place, with the same piece, until he has summoned 8 pawns in total. Pride must have chess pieces of the corresponding nen beasts on him at all times, including the king. If any piece gets destroyed, the corresponding nen beast will disappear. If the king is destroyed, every other conjured nen beast will disappear. In the case of the pawns, the user is unable to conjure the remaining pawns.

* Pride is able to transfer his consciousness to one nen beast at the time, watching through its eyes. He still has to manipulate the being, and it keeps its abilities. Pride is able to use his Perfection 5th Square while taking over a nen beast.
* For Pride to conjure a nen beast, he must put the corresponding piece in the palm of his hand. It doesn’t need to stay in his hand, but simply must touch it with the bottom of the piece. The pieces will either be black or white, depending on the hand they touched. Where his left hand is white, and his right hand is black.
	+ The Queen uses the hatsu of an enemy if she has completed multiple conditions.
		- Pride must have seen the hatsu himself.
		- A piece must be hit by the hatsu.
		- Pride must know how it generally works, like conditions and nen type.
		- Queen must sacrifice another piece to use the targeted hatsu. The uses are their chess worth.
			* The pawns allow her to use it for a minute.
			* The knights and bishops allow her to use it for 3 minutes.
			* The rooks allow her to use it for 5 minutes.
	+ The Rooks have no ability, instead they are focused on strength and durability.
	+ The Knights are able to turn invisible and intangible by leaving the ground. Most often used to hop around and dodge attacks.
	+ The Bishops are manipulated to move around silently with great agility.
	+ The Pawns can explode on command, sacrificing themselves.

* If a nen beast is destroyed, he can’t summon it again until 24 hours have passed. The pieces are silver, except for the king which is gold. The nen beasts still look black or white depending on the hand they touched.
* The pieces move around differently when Perfect 5th Square is activated. Similar to their chess piece counterpart, the Pawns can only move in one direction, before turning with difficulty, the Knights have to move in an L, the Bishops can only move diagonally, on their own color, white for white and black for black. The Rook can move in a + and The Queen can move like a Rook and Bishop combined, without discerning for color.
