Team VALR, 2020 version

And now the team is all back together again! Definitely the best they’ve ever looked, am I right, @braith-eisen-isms and @miss-pyrrha-nikos-isms

Team Valr Party Games

Terra: So I just...

Ebony: Spin the bottle, and then you have to kiss whoever it's pointing at. It's that simple.

Terra spins the bottle.

It starts to slow down.

First it looks like it's going to point at Amy. Terra looks uneasy.

Then it looks like it'll stop at Stark. Terra and Stark both blush.

But it actually stops on Ebony.

Terra: Well that was... Unexpected.

Ebony: You know the rules. Kiss me Terra!

Stark Ryker [ZSWeber Studios Muses Part 2/?]

Part two of my muses collection is done! Stark Ryker of @stark-ryker-isms was my first OC I ever made, part of Team VALR, a group of muses made by me and a few friends, @miss-pyrrha-nikos-isms and @braith-eisen-isms. Not much change from the original design, but big improvement in the style!

A bit of a rundown on my good boy Stark--Stark Ryker used to be Roman Torchwick’s protege and partner, right beside Neo. But, after one job gone wrong and a run in with Ozpin’s relentless mercy, he ended up going to Beacon Academy as a student, a way of avoiding going to prison. Stark is also Cinder’s younger twin brother, at least with @cinders-falling‘s Cinder, the two separated not long after birth. Stark is a powerful fighter, and though he is a master thief, he’s very skilled with his warhammer, which shifts into a grenade launcher similar to the brute shot from the Halo series. His Semblance, meanwhile, is Gravitation, meaning he can make things heavier, lighter, or levitate.

...and he also has a few scars on the lower-left-side of his face from where a building collapsed on top of--wait, wHAT THE FRICK AM I SAYING?!?

designing post-Beacon Stark Ryker, and realizing that I probably put a little too much Deus in his Machina just then

Had a thought

Odds are Ebony went as a fairy for Hallowe'en. Tiny, adorbable, and to stay to true to faerie lore, causing havoc wherever she goes. She's about as Unseelie as they come.

Not to mention, I love the thought of her with wings, even artifical ones.

THUN-DER!!!

@terravolksisms Just a random thought that came to me while working on a response to Stark and Terra’s date. Just a ‘what if’ regarding Team MDHS, and if Stark and Terra decide to keep dating, even just casually.

Matlock Maddison, known to the rest of his team and friends as “Madds”, was sat in the beanbag in front of the holo-screen in his and his team’s dorm. Most of the team was out--Damien was at Junior’s looking to pick up some chicks, Harrison was there to make sure he made it back home in one piece, and Sebastien was at his job at the Harborview Garden--so it was just him for the night.

The pale-blonde Second-Year idly flipped through the channels on the screen, looking for anything interesting to watch. He considered pulling up the gaming function and playing one of his new games, but decided against it. He wasn’t much in the mood to start swearing at the display, after all. So, really, he didn’t know what to do with his time.

That, however, was about to change.

As he flipped to yet another channel that he wasn’t interested in, a loud banging sound blasted from the other end of the room. Eyes wide, he quickly jumped to his feet, hands reaching towards the scissor-like sword sitting by his bed. He only relaxed once he saw who it was that was standing there.

“Ah, Harry, Dame, nearly gave me a heartattack there,” Madds shook his head. “What’s with you rushing in here like that anyways?”

It was Damien that responded first, the Cat Faunus rushing at the team leader pulling him in for a bro-tackle. “It happened, man! It happened!”

“What happened?” Madds asked, holding his childhood friend a good arm’s length away from him.

“After all our waiting, our prayers have been answered!” Harrison exclaimed.

“What are you guys talking about?”

“Stark and Terra, Madds!” Damien grinned. “Seb saw them at the Garden tonight, together, on a date!”

“...What?!” Madds exclaimed, once his friend’s words hit him.

“He’s not kidding, Madds,” Harrison nodded, his bunny ears flopping a bit as he did so. “Seb even heard them talking a bit as they left, and they agreed to have another date sometime later next week.”

“You know what this means, right?!” Damien asked, seemly vibrating with excitement.

Madds nodded, grinning back at his two friends, before turning around and stepping out onto the balcony. Out there, waiting for several months, was a large object covered with a thick, dark brown tarp. Pulling the covering away, Madds revealed the object to be a set of large speakers with some kind of cannon attached to the side.

Grinning, he pressed a button on the side of the speakers. Instantly, a song started to rise from them, filling the entire area around Beacon with a fairly familiar song.

“Duh-nu-na-nu-nu-”

“THUN-DER!!!” the trio shouted, as fireworks erupted from the cannon and vividly painted the night sky with light. With each heavy downbeat in the song, red and purple and green and yellow fireworks burst from the cannon, waking everyone at Beacon that was asleep and letting them see and hear the great news, even if none of them would understand the meaning behind it.

Thunderstruck had finally set sail.

Stark Ryker, 2020 version

Finally, after so long, my member of Team VALR is finally here! He hasn’t changed much over the years--not nearly as much as Terra, Amethyst, and Ebony have--but you know what they say, you can’t mess with perfection!

Another member of the Team VALR squad! This time, it’s @miss-pyrrha-nikos-isms‘ little spider-darling that is Ebony Lantana! This new version looks a lot better than any of her past versions, but just as fun and excitable as ever! Hope y’all like her.
