Yoru

Lore & Background

Born with the ability to manipulate space-time, Yoru operates as an Independent agent who rejected the rigid structure of organizations like the Radiant. Unlike many agents who seek to protect humanity or restore balance, Yoru is driven by a desire for chaos and personal amusement. He views the world as a playground where rules are meant to be broken, often using his powers not just for combat, but to toy with his opponents' perceptions.

In Their Own Story

The alleyway was empty, save for the flickering neon sign above. Yoru grinned, tapping the air before him. A ripple distorted the streetlights, and suddenly, a second Yoru appeared ten feet away, laughing. The enemy agent fired blindly at the decoy, only to realize too late that the real threat had already slipped through a rift behind them. In Valorant's world, trust is a liability, and Yoru thrives on the doubt he sows.
