BIOGRAPHY

Always "Val," and never "Valerio Dizon"—unless it was his mother scolding him for staying out too late. Val was the kind of guy who made people feel at ease. Popular, good-natured, the one who’d help walk an old lady across the street without a second thought or share his lunch with a classmate who’d forgotten theirs. Up until high school, he never aspired to be anything more than what he was, a regular kid with a decent life in New Jakarta’s Marwar District.

Born to a single mother who ran the family bakery, Valerio’s Bake Shop, Val’s life followed a comfortable, if predictable, routine. The bakery was a local favorite, known for its warm, flaky pastries and the kind smile his mother greeted everyone with. For Val, the future seemed simple: he’d take over the bakery, maybe work part-time during college, and continue the family tradition. Ambition wasn’t something that had crossed his mind. Why would it? Life was normal. It was fine.

But even in his laid-back existence, he held an unwavering belief in justice. Though he was one of the popular kids, Val always made sure everyone was included, that no one felt left out. He’d step in when the neighborhood kids got too rough, making them apologize if they bumped into someone. Laws and order kept life safe, and that’s how Val liked it. Stable. Secure.

Until it wasn’t.

The robbery was a shock. A bakery of all places. The desperation in New Jakarta was growing, people were hungry—not just for food, but for survival. Val remembers running home, heart pounding, fearing the worst. The storefront window was shattered, glass littering the sidewalk, but his mother, though shaken, was unharmed. Relief washed over him, but reality punched him straight in the face—their safety had been an illusion, a fragile thing easily broken as the bakery’s window.

At the scene, Val’s eyes were drawn to an Overseer, an imposing figure clad in sleek armor, weapons glowing with the eerie light of Hextech crystals. The Overseer moved with authority, surveying the damage with a calm, focused demeanor. Val had never seen anything like it. The man approached him, asked if he was the owner’s son. When Val nodded, the Overseer placed a heavy, gloved hand on his shoulder. “Be strong,” he said, his voice steady. “Protect your mother. We won’t always be here.”

Those words struck something deep within Val. The Overseer’s presence, the power he wielded, and the responsibility he bore—it all crystallized in Val’s mind. He wanted to be strong enough to protect those he loved, to uphold the laws that kept people safe. For the first time, Val felt a drive, a purpose that went beyond the bakery and the simple life he’d always imagined.

From that day on, Val’s path shifted. With less than a year before his high school graduation, he poured himself into his studies, especially anything that would help him understand the law, justice, and the workings of the city. He trained his body, pushing himself to physical limits he’d never considered before. His mother supported him, proud of his newfound determination, even if it meant a different, bigger, future than she’d envisioned.

Val joined the Overseers as soon as he was able, climbing the ranks with a mix of hard work, innate talent, and that fierce belief in justice that had always been a part of him. He specialized in Hextech weaponry, just like the man he admired all those years ago. His titanium white gauntlets becoming his signature, earning him the nickname “The Marble Hand.”

Despite his rise, Val never lost that good-natured, approachable side. He was known for his fairness, his refusal to bend the rules, but also for his empathy. He argued for mercy when he believed people were victims of circumstance, remembering his own past and the desperation he had seen in the eyes of those who had turned to crime.

Now, as the Force Leader of the Overseers, Val is in a position of power he never sought but fully embraced. He sees himself in the new recruits, those young, eager faces that remind him of the boy he once was—the one who had no real ambition until the day his world was shaken. Val takes it upon himself to mentor them, to instill in them the same belief in justice that drives him. He’s seen the darkness in the city, but he’s also seen the light, and he’s determined to guide the next generation of law enforcers, and anyone else he can bring along, towards that light.

RELATIONSHIPS AND CONNECTIONS (More TBA)

Mother - Marigold Santos Dizon

Val had always admired his mom. Growing up, he was a bit of a brat—he can admit that now—but looking back, he feels a little sorry for the way he acted. It wasn’t until he got older that he realized the situation they were in: a single mom running a bakery by herself, keeping everything together with sheer willpower and ungodly early mornings. Val remembers how she would wake up at 3 or 4 in the morning to get the day’s stock of baked goods going, a routine that seemed as natural to her as breathing.

By the time Val was in high school, he couldn’t just watch her do it all alone. He started getting up early too, helping her out before heading off to practice. It wasn’t much, but he wanted to do his part. Those early mornings taught him perseverance, a trait he knows he inherited from her.

Now, as he climbs the ranks in the Overseers and dreams of a better future for both himself and the city, he wishes he could do more for her. Val hopes to see her retire soon, but he wonders if she could really let go of the bakery. It’s been her life’s work, her pride. Would she find fulfillment in retirement, or would she miss the routine, the sense of purpose it gave her?

One thing Val does know, however, is that she keeps asking when he’s going to get married. She says it doesn’t matter who, as long as he’s happy. Val finds her persistence amusing and endearing, a reminder that no matter how much his life changes, some things—like his mom’s unconditional love and prized pandesal recipe—will always stay the same.

Boyfriend - Santi Amarin-Zhao

The words were already spilling out of his mouth before he could think. He had just finished a routine line of questioning, and before Val knew it, his next question had him asking out New Jakarta’s most eligible bachelor and X Academy’s CEO on a date. Val’s heart nearly stopped as he realized what he’d done—he’d never fumbled like that before when asking someone out. He was about to apologize, to take it back, but then Santi said, “Sure.” Just like that. 

They��ve gone on quite a few dates since then, and Val likes to think they’re going steady, exclusive even. But he can’t help noticing the walls Santi has put up. Their relationship isn’t public, Santi avoids any kind of PDA, and sometimes he feels just out of reach, even during late nights when it’s just the two of them in bed. It’s like Santi’s there, but not fully there.

Still, it doesn’t shake Val’s faith in him. He trusts Santi. They both want the same thing, right? For this city to be better, safer. Val tells himself that’s enough, even if getting closer to Santi feels like trying to touch something through glass.

Your Weekly Insight Into SA Culture - Palaces, Palaces Everywhere!

Welcome, welcome! Today I serve as your tour guide through time, for India boasts plenty of old fortresses of its own. This week’s insight is less mythology-based and more appreciative of our stunning architecture and rich history.

1. Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur

A fort of burnished red sandstone that appears to “command and to meld with the landscape.” A filming location in The Jungle Book and The Dark Knight Rises, its construction began in the 15th century and lasted for 500 years, meaning many, MANY revolving architectural influences are included in the fort and its palaces. A trip through time in itself! (80% sure I visited this one when I was a kid.)

Maharaja (king) Rao Jodha would begin construction two generations after Rao Chunda secured his capital in Marwar, located in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan. Jodhpur is naturally named after the clan, and Mehrangarh itself? Translates to ‘fort of the sun’… a hat tip to the family’s supposed descent from the sun god Surya.

Well, well. A real life Fire Nation royal family?

2. Hawa Mahal, Jaipur

… the “Palace of Winds.”

(😱 This elemental pattern is entirely coincidental!!)

Built as an extension of the City Palace on the brink of the 18th century, the honeycomb shape of over 900 windows is meant to resemble Lord Krishna’s crown. The curved, five-story structure actually lacks a foundation - making it the tallest building in the world without one! The curve to it is what keeps it upright, I’ve read.

There’s one downside… The windows aren’t much bigger than peepholes, and the whole extension was to provide royal ladies a seat from which to watch events and royal processions without being seen. The Purdah system at the time forbid royal women from being seen in public. Boo.

3. Rambagh Palace, Jaipur

Known as The Jewel of Jaipur. (The earth element? 🤔) It’s a palace converted into a hotel you can literally book!!

Built in the 1830s, Rambagh Palace began as a garden house for the maharani’s (queen) dearest handmaiden. In the 1880s, it was converted into a hunting lodge (damn, leave it to men to ruin such epic lesbianism). It was renovated multiple times after, even as a wedding gift to Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II’s wife - the Maharani Suite - then at last, ended up as the upscale residence given to Taj Hotels for management in 1972.

Notable rent-outs include American First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, British India’s last Viceroy, Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, Lady Diana, and good ol’ Anderson Cooper.

Now… all this talk of gifts to wives and Taj Hotels…

Last on the list, one I have no doubt you’ve all heard of ~ among the Seven Wonders of the World and Persian for “Crown of Palaces”…..

4. Taj Mahal, Agra

An insurmountable source of Indian pride, the ivory-white marble monument in Agra has been known to stir tenfold the questions it can answer. The chief architect, Ustad Ahmad Lahauri, was a Persian from Iran, and the building ascribes more to the Muslim mausoleum. The marvel is littered with optical illusions, from the tilted minarets, trippy near and far proportions, color-changing allure, to the Shah’s west-leaning cenotaph that throws off its perfect symmetry…

Shah Jahan, the romantic who ordered the grand resting place of his beloved wife be erected in the 1630s, had a more ruthless reputation than the ideal husband’s. The grand scale composed of crystal, lapis lazuli, Makrana marble, and turquoise doubled as a symbol of power and heightened the glory of his reign.

Empress Mumtaz Mahal was lost in childbirth, and her sarcophagus lies in a quiet room below the cenotaphs on display. When pollution and age damage the timeless sensation, a facial used by Indian women is repurposed for the giant structure, and leaves it as gleaming white as before!

And there’s your element of water ~ plus all our tearbending for such a heartbreaking gesture. Looks like all four have been unintentionally covered!

Whew! This one (rightfully) got pretty long. See you next time! P.S. Bryke GET BACK HERE AND GIVE ME BROWN REP

Aptly known as the ‘Land of kings’, Rajasthan is also the largest state in the Republic of India. Formerly known as Rajputana, Rajasthan was divided into various regions, which were ruled by various clans, the notable clans include Meenas, Gurjars, Rajputs and Jats which were responsible for the building of the state of Rajasthan, and were responsible for building various historical monuments which in turn provided the rich cultural heritage found in the state. The monuments of Prime importance are the various hill forts, mostly based in the Aravalli Mountain Range, and built between the 5th century AD and 17th – 18th century AD. The Hill forts of Rajasthan are long standing masterpieces of architecture and have housed the rich cultural heritage of the Princely Clans that built them.
