Cloette, the mythological freelancer
**Name:Cloette, the mythological freelancer Jungler, skirmisher, control/zoner, pet: Appearance: **Cloette is a tall, well built woman. She has long black hair. She's covered in a cloak. She also wears a mail and some pieces of armor. Always gentle and smiling she becomes fierce in the battle. Normally she's relaxed and light-thinking. She's not against humanity, but criticizes the lack of freedom it has, preferring the company of her animal companions. Background: Cloette was a noble Demacian girl. Every day she learned etiquette, formality, politics. She had to learn the ways and the customs to be educated. False and rules were the daily bread in that high-minded world. Her grandfather was a war hero, he fought under Jarvan II and Jarvan III for years and years. He was very old and somewhat crazy, but his love of homeland was sincere, and his words were truthful. Ever since she was little, Cloette was listening to the adventures of travel and battles that told her and dreamed of being able to escape the world that was prepared for fer. So she decided to embark on a military career. At first in studies and training, then officially, she became a member of the Army in all respects. She was skilled, had learned to fight in many different ways, with the sword, the poleaxe, with the bow. She was especially able to anticipate enemy movements and to understand their tactics. What excelled was, however, riding. She built a special relationship with her horse and her opponents could not defeat her on saddle. What she preferred were expeditions. She could admire the vastness of the world, breathe the scent of freedom that carried the wind with her. But she was still a soldier and had to return. Gradually her ability made her climb the ranks. She tried to refuse the promotions, hoping to stay in the low ranks, hoping to stay away from the world she so hated and feared, the world that would again set her rules and lies. At least the soldiers were simple, honest, their feelings more or less understandable and sincere. However, she became a lieutenant of regiment. She could at least leave the city for long periods. It was during one of these expeditions that the turning point occurred. In the morning they began a clash with bandits waiting for them among the rocks in the lands. It had been a fierce battle, but eventually they had run away. They had camped in the rocks, and in the evening Cloette had been thoughtful. At the fall of darkness, she watched her brilliant armor shimmer in the moonlight. It looked like a prison in the end. She gave her second command and headed down to the trees down a hill lower than where they were. She wanted to reflect a little. She fell asleep after a while. She woke up, the high sun in the sky, the wind in her hair, she was moving. "Moving?" What happen? He got up and was amazed to see a landscape similar to what he had left the day before, but definitely different. The river was lost in the vastness of the plain, while the mountain on which it was situated headed for a forest. She wanted to understand more, so she headed to the left along a line of pointed rocks. Finally, she understood: an enormous head of turtle pointing toward the woods. "HEY" yelled "HEEEEY", but the turtle seemed not to hear it. She climbed on her head and staring straight into her eyes roared again. "HEY" The animal was so frightened that she slid into the shield and Cloette slammed her head on the edge. She woke up at sunset, the turtle caressed her clothes, seemed worried. Cloette got up and began to comfort her. "All right, quiet, can I get up?" The turtle seemed not to understand and resumed moving. Cloette then climbed on a paw and sat down on his back. The turtle stopped and turned to look at her. The girl smiled and looked at her The tortoised started moving again, not caring. The call for freedom was started and Cloette decided to take it. SHe took off her armor that hide between the rocks on the shell. Days passed. The tortoise that was named Gwendaline sometimes stopped. In these moment Cloette went out for a hunt and to gather some resources. Gwendaline looked at her with a funny face and suspicious, but seemed to start to bond. After a week a little wooden house beetween the trees on Gwendaline's back was built. It seemed that the turtle lived in symbiosis with the enormous trees growing on her. It had to be a bit a magical creature tough: if some rocks were destroyed they regrow in a few days, also near the water roots started coming out from the paws and the belly to "drink water". One night while sleeping Cloette heard a sound, it seemed the neigh of a horse. "Stay here" whispered to Gwendaline. In the depth of a forest she was the bright White of the horse, but it was not a horse. THere was a unicorn, the long horn more than a meter on the forehead. It was trapped. She approached it, but when it was her he tried to stab her. She dodged many times, but the animal didn't let her come near. He tried to stab her again and she let him. He pierced the right shoulder, but she didn't say anything and focused on freeing it. SUddenly free he tried to escape, but couldn't move because of the lost blood and the wound. Her wound was deep. SHe fell. She felt weakness all over the body and closed the eyes. THe wind woke her up, the unicorn was there, near her, sleeping. Gwendaline was walking and from time to time looked to control her. SHe seemed to be happy. Cloette entered the house and took some medicines for her and the unicorn. Days passed, slowly the now called Ludwig started to walk again. He didn't leave the side of CLoette tough. After a month she tried to Mount him. It worked and his speed and resistence was special. No horse could withstand a chance. SOmetimes he walked, probably talking with Gwendaline. Glindale was the last to be met. Cloette saw himm falling from the head of Gwendaline. It seemed that some hunters tried to kill him. A Griffin is precious, his claws and his feathers are really expensive. Cloette weared her armor and jumped on Ludwig, while Gwendaline slowly followed them. She assoulted the hunters in a fierce battle. While Ludwig helped her impaling the first one on his road. THe griffin was grounded, but fierce and understood that they were there to help. The situation was difficult, but not impossible to handle. Cloette swinged her lance and dismounted, the weapon planted in the chest o one of the enemies and took her sword. The griffin assoulted one of the hunters that was trying to backstab cloette, while Ludwig charged in again, stomping some grounded enemies. Gwendaline finally cme, but the battle was over. Glindale was really a free spirit, suddenly when his wings returned ok flew away.TOugh, the next day returned, restig on the branches of the enormous tree, with a dead boar for Cloette. THese four bounded more and more, spending years together. Sometimes they took the sea (Gwendaline knew how to swim) and these were really free days, fishing, sleeping, running. From time to time Cloette returned to cities, becoming a skilled merchant. She built a better hous on Gwendaline, bought some tasty exotic fruits wich planted on the back, the "garden". Gwendaline and Ludwig loved these fruits, while Glindale preferred hunting sessions in the air with blood everywhere. CLoette didn't forget Demacia tough. Once she returned to the city, asking to see Jarvan IV They tried to say she couldn't but she said that she wouldn't have gone away untile the king showed up. In the end Jarvan came out, facing her. "I am a demacian" She started "BUt i won't bow to you neither to anyone" "I won't follow your rules, nor your decisions, but still i love this country, this is where i lived, this is the history i know, the peace i love" "Without peace can't be freedom, but i won't lose my freedom in the name of peace. This is my way of living. I am Cloette, a freelancer, but for demacia i will be cheaper!" "My king, if you want to declare that i am not anymore a demacian tell it now, in front of the peopole, if not then, accept me like i am" In the end Jarvan accepted her like a demacian, tough he understood that she was free to go and to come and couldn't evere be totally under his Kingdom. He smiled looking at her with her friends going away. In the end she had what he couldn't reach. **Abilities: Passive - Animal Friends: **Cloette has 3 pets: Ludwig, a unicorn, Glindale, a griffin and Gwendaline, a giant turtle. Each one of them has its own behaviour and abilities. Ludwig is fierce and pure. He won’t attack enemies if not ordered, but can eat plants if they are nearby. If Cloette’s HP run low he will charge towards her. If attacked he will answer the attack, if “killed” (health bar goes to 0) he will run away. Glindale is lofty, serious and loyal. He can fly and will attack monsters, minions and enemies that are not walking away from him or recalling. If “killed” he will fly away. Gwendaline is slow and always hungry. She will slowly follow Cloette wherever she goes, but she will always be late. If attacked she will just ignore the hits, taking the damage. If “killed” she will retreat into her shell for some time and then will recover. Gwendaline can store some items from the shop, that each ally can purchase after, imagine her as a moving shop. Q - Silver charge: Ludwig charges towards a direction, dealing damage and pushing away (like draven’s E) all the enemies in the way. W - Perlustration: Glindale stations over an area, attacking minions, monsters and champions who are not recalling. E - Fortification: Gwendaline moves toward the current Cloette position, where Cloette has left some fruit for her. (a bit faster), once there she sets up her defenses, rooting in position, facing in the same direction Cloette was facing and blocking the passage. She will attack every enemy champion in front of her. Pressing again E will make Gwendaline move. R - Mount: R+Q,W,E will make Cloette mount on Ludwig, Glindale or Gwendaline if they are near her. Cloette can change mount or dismount activating R again. If on Ludwig or on Glindale any heavy CC will make Cloette dismount and she will take some damage (more if it happens with Glindale, tough she can’t die from this). If on Ludwig Cloette will hold a Lance (or a Poleaxe, or a spear). Q becomes a toggle on/toggle off, while activated it’s similar to Sion’s ulti and will stun all enemies hit. If on Glindale Cloette will hold a bow, becoming ranged. Glindale can fly over the walls. W into a target location will speed up Glindale that will prioritize the first enemy met. Cloette will leap toward it dealing damage with her short sowrd on the impact, and Glindale will follow her for a finishing blow from above. If W kills a target Cloette mounts again, if there is no kill Glindale will fly a bit away. If on Gwendaline Cloette gets more armor. She uses a bow and has a bit more range than on Glindale. E is practically the same, but Cloette will get some attack speed. Discussion: I know there is the problem of a pet "hunter" or something like that. Many say also a "pet mage". I came up with this idea. Let's speak about strenghts and weaknesses. Cloette is versatile, she can skirsmish well, playing in and out of a fight. She's good at flanking, at zoning and holding some areas of the map. She's weak to magic. She can't kill a tank, she loses without her pets or in long fights. I don't know if she, statistically speaking (i am not good at statistics) has to be good defensively or not. At first i tought not, she should be squishy and weak towards assassin, but this could be a problem, so she could wear armor battle and be tankier. At first i tought that her pets could "buy items", but too complicated and too overloaded. It's fine and fun as it is. About tactics, well one can use his fantasy to play as Cloette. Glindale can buy time while Ludwig and Cloette charge in for a gank for example. In defensive situations or when trying to take an objective using Gwendaline as terrain, or together with Cloette as a turret can be extremely good, especially if the other 2 help buying time. Cloette will take the gold that her pets gain, but not the exp. Let's clarify some things: ""Level 1"": at level 1 Glindale and Ludwig will rest on Gwendaline. Gwendaline will Always follow CLoette also if E is not unlocked. If You unlock Q Ludwig will jump off, if you unlock W Glindale will take off. ""Health"" Health while dismounted is pretty straightforward. Normal stuff. While mounted the damage from autoattacks will go directly to Cloette, while AOE will hit also her pets. When pets "run away" they are "out" for a bit of time, then they will respawn on Gwendaline. "Mounting" mounting on Ludwig or Glindale is fast and you can Mount on Ludwig without interrupting an eventual Q. Mounting on Gwendaline is a bit slower. Dismounting near an enemy will cause an enpowered autoattack
