Ryker Miller

[rykermoth]

WELCOME

Yeah yeah Hi. @mothiebean made me this account...

I guess I should introduce myself.

Name: Ryker Miller

Nickname : Tex

•Species: Lepidopteran Hybrid (Half-Moth)

•Age: 36

•D.O.B: 10/10/1990

•Relation: Older brother to Jax Miller ( @mothiebean )

•Powers: Pheromonal neutralization, reinforced chitinous physiology, hyper-sensory nocturnal vision.

Vulnerabilities

•Phototaxis (Light Sensitivity): Like all moths, extreme bursts of concentrated UV light (e.g., flashbangs or Dazzler’s powers) can disorient him, causing temporary blindness and loss of equilibrium.

•Wing Fragility: While his wings are reinforced, the membranes are susceptible to chemical solvents and extreme heat. A torn wing prevents flight and causes intense physical pain.

•Hyper-Metabolism: Maintaining his wings and pheromone production requires a massive caloric intake. If he goes too long without eating, he becomes lethargic and loses his ability to fly.

•The "Jax Factor": His primary psychological weakness is his sister. Villains who know their connection often use Jax as leverage, knowing Ryker will abandon any mission to ensure her safety.

While Jax treats the "Moth Council" as a whimsical club, I view it as a Security Detail. I treats her moth companions (like Blogger and Derek) as "unconventional surveillance assets".

Face claim: Joe Manganiello.

tw: none! (Wow fluff for my girl?)

Annalies has been having a good day - a good week for that matter. Ever since she returned from Europe, everything felt easier.

Now, she was standing in the kitchen, making an old dutch recipe from her old bakery she learned from her mother - the smell of apples, flowers and sugar filled the air and Annie couldnt be happier.

As she sang along to her favorite song, she didnt even notice the door opening.

Ryker stood in the doorway with an eyebrow raised, though he didn't disturb her. A few minutes pass and Annalies still doesn't notice him, he huffs.

"Are you enjoying yourself?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

Annalies turned to the man in shock. "Oh shit, ryker, hi."

[rykermoth]

"Hi, I see you're enjoying your day off. I just came to see if you had those documents."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"ah, yes i do." She smiled and took off the apron. "Give me a minute, kay?" She said as she dissappeared upstairs.

[rykermoth]

"Yeah." He watched her go upstairs. Ryker doesn't enter the kitchen, he just stands there awkwardly. He checks his watch as he waits.

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

after a couple of minutes, Annalies appeared again in the door, handing Ryker a folder.

"There you go!" She smiled politely.

[rykermoth]

"Thanks. What are you making?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"Old recipe from my mother." She smiled politely. "Its uh, marble cake from chocolate, vanilla and some oranges - so to speak."

[rykermoth]

"As long as you're taking care of yourself."

Ryker stepped into the office without a sound, he shrugged off a tailored charcoal overcoat, draping it over the back of his executive chair with practiced ease.

He was impeccably dressed, as expected of a man whose financial portfolios dictated the economic pulse of the city, but it was his presence that commanded the room.

He stepped outside to find Annalies sitting at the desk. He didn't remember walking past her. He glances at the clock and clicks his tongue. There was no welcoming smile, nor was there overt hostility.

"You're early, Miss Devries."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

Annalies didnt even blink when Ryker walked in the room, she just kept logging in on the computer.

"Goodmorning, Mr. Millers." She said as she nodded her head, matching his formality.

[rykermoth]

A smile tugs at his lips. "I trust you had a good night's rest?"

[rykermoth]

"hey. You're Jax's brother, right?"

@annaliesdevriesofficial

"Mhm...How can I help? More importantly what did she do?"

[rykermoth]

He looks at her. "Go to bed. If it makes you feel better there's a lock on the doors. If you need me, I'll be in my study."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"alright." She said as she stood up. "Goodnight, Ryker."

[rykermoth]

"Goodnight..."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

After a full minute, Annalies locked the dolr behind her, not that she didnt trust him, it was just... a saver feeling and then she dramatically fell on the bed, quite immediately falling asleep.

[rykermoth]

"hey. You're Jax's brother, right?"

@annaliesdevriesofficial

"Mhm...How can I help? More importantly what did she do?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"Just wanted to meet the infamous brother." She smiled.

[rykermoth]

"Alright...I'm Ryker."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"annalies" she extended her hand. "But.. people call me anne, maybe annie"

[rykermoth]

"It's nice to meet you Annalies..." He shook her hand with a smile.

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"soo," she smiled awkwardly. "how are you?"

[rykermoth]

"I'm fine. A bit bored...You?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"well i just returned from my trip to my home country, and well, same old i think?"

[rykermoth]

"So pretty boring for you too? Well you're more than welcome to rest while I work."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

She blinked while progression what he just said.

"You sure? I dont want to be a bother."

[rykermoth]

"If you're here I can put the 'meeting in progress' sign up and Jax won't bother me."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"If it isnt to much trouble." she smiled. "And uh, about jax..." she sighed. "She told me to tell you to yell at this Derek?"

[rykermoth]

"Ah...yeah. Derek's a moth and he takes after me." He sits at his desk with a sigh. He gestures for her to sit. "Rest."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

She sat down feeling rather shy. "Thanks."

[rykermoth]

"You can talk... I'll try to listen but there's no promises."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

she hummed, what would she talk about? But eventually she decided to start at the beginning of the journey.

"Well, i went to the Netherlands - my home country after this little freaky war that had happened here, but that is because of some PTSD i got. I -" and she kept talking, for a while.

[rykermoth]

He nods along as he talks. He flicks between writing and typing. He looks at her every now and then. He puts his finger up to interrupt her. "Do you want a drink?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"Yeah sure," she said while she shifted in her chair, pulling up her legs.

[rykermoth]

"Do you want water? If you want anything else I'll get my assistant to go?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

jesus christ this guy even got an assistant??

"just a water is good." She smiled politely.

[rykermoth]

He gets up and walks to the mini bar, pouring her a glass of water. "you seem a bit young to be going on missions..."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

she slightly winced at that comment, here we go again.

"I uh, i am not that young, really." She sighed. "Im older than i look."

[rykermoth]

He nodded and set the glass, on a coaster, in front of her. "Are you one of these slow aging people?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

She hummed. "If you put it like that it sounds really weird." She laughed. "Its not that spectacular."

[rykermoth]

He hums in response and sits in his chair. "Can you do anything spectacular?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

she nodded as she pressed her lips together. "More than i want to."

Should she tell him? Does she trust him enough ? dont trust him, you know what happens when you trust people.

[rykermoth]

Ryker watches her body language. He decides not to press her further. "Netherlands? From what I've heard, it's a pretty great place."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

She relaxed a little when she realized he didnt push about it.

"Yeah it is pretty great. Kinda messy from time to time, but it always feels like home to me, no matter how many years have passed."

[rykermoth]

"I've always wanted to go...maybe if I do, you can accompany me."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"Thatd be cool." She smiled as she took a sip of he water.

[rykermoth]

"How did you meet Jax anyway?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

she stayed silent for a second. How did she meet Jax?

"I honestly dont remember." She let out a small laugh.

[rykermoth]

"Knowing her you probably found her in an alley...Do you have a job?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

".. yes?"

[rykermoth]

...

"I was hoping you'd say no...My assistant isn't the best. Barely competent."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"well the job sucks anyway," she grinned. "What do you have to offer?"

[rykermoth]

"Well. You get good pay, a moth visits the desk every day for some reason. Employees get free coffee..."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.

"Sounds nice."

[rykermoth]

"If you want it, you can have it. I'm tired of listening to her whine about her boyfriend."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"Well you dont need to worry about that with me, no one really wants to date a 99 year old girl trapped in 18 year olds body."

She said while she laughed, but as soon as she finished her sentence she quickly silenced.

Fuck

[rykermoth]

He glances up from his paper and raises an eyebrow. "Ok, I guess that's one of your abilities then?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

"Yeah unfortunately," she sighed. "It was the main goal."

[rykermoth]

"I'll fire her tonight. You'll start in the morning."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"great." She smiled as she fiddled with her necklace.

[rykermoth]

"Do you wish to be paid monthly or weekly?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"monthly please."

[rykermoth]

"I'll look forward to your work."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"I look forward to work for you." She nodded.

[rykermoth]

"Will you be able to get home ok?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"probably not," she shrugged her shoulders. "But yeah, i am woman so i guess that is what i get."

[rykermoth]

He sighs and opens his draw, grabbing some keys. "Go to the lift, the top floor is my place. I have a spare room. I have no one to take you home tonight so this will have to do."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"wha- i-" she stuttered, a bit taken aback by the offer. "I can just walk home you know that right?"

[rykermoth]

"Then I risk something happening to you and Jax chewing my ear off." He slides the keys across the desk

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

her reflexes automatically catched the keys, the cold metal against her hand.

"... thank you." She said, voice barely above a whisper - no one had ever cared for her that much the last 70 years.

[rykermoth]

"Do what you want... just don't make a mess."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

she laughed quietly. "Noted." She said as she stood up, making her way towards the elevator and pressing the button, waiting for it to arrive.

[rykermoth]

A few hours after, he switches off the lights and goes up to his place. He steps inside, making sure nothings out of place.

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

Annalies hadnt been able to fall asleep, so she did what any teenage girl did and now so she doomscrolling through her phone.

Although, when she heard the footsteps, she slightly stiffened.

[rykermoth]

"Hey." He takes his jacket off and drapes it over a chair. He walks past her and to the kitchen to grab a drink.

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

she nodded. "Hi."

[rykermoth]

"Shouldn't you be asleep? I don't know what time kids go to bed..." He grabs a bottle of water from the fridge.

[rykermoth]

"hey. You're Jax's brother, right?"

@annaliesdevriesofficial

"Mhm...How can I help? More importantly what did she do?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

She hummed. "If you put it like that it sounds really weird." She laughed. "Its not that spectacular."

[rykermoth]

He hums in response and sits in his chair. "Can you do anything spectacular?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

she nodded as she pressed her lips together. "More than i want to."

Should she tell him? Does she trust him enough ? dont trust him, you know what happens when you trust people.

[rykermoth]

Ryker watches her body language. He decides not to press her further. "Netherlands? From what I've heard, it's a pretty great place."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

She relaxed a little when she realized he didnt push about it.

"Yeah it is pretty great. Kinda messy from time to time, but it always feels like home to me, no matter how many years have passed."

[rykermoth]

"I've always wanted to go...maybe if I do, you can accompany me."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"Thatd be cool." She smiled as she took a sip of he water.

[rykermoth]

"How did you meet Jax anyway?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

she stayed silent for a second. How did she meet Jax?

"I honestly dont remember." She let out a small laugh.

[rykermoth]

"Knowing her you probably found her in an alley...Do you have a job?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

".. yes?"

[rykermoth]

...

"I was hoping you'd say no...My assistant isn't the best. Barely competent."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"well the job sucks anyway," she grinned. "What do you have to offer?"

[rykermoth]

"Well. You get good pay, a moth visits the desk every day for some reason. Employees get free coffee..."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.

"Sounds nice."

[rykermoth]

"If you want it, you can have it. I'm tired of listening to her whine about her boyfriend."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"Well you dont need to worry about that with me, no one really wants to date a 99 year old girl trapped in 18 year olds body."

She said while she laughed, but as soon as she finished her sentence she quickly silenced.

Fuck

[rykermoth]

He glances up from his paper and raises an eyebrow. "Ok, I guess that's one of your abilities then?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

"Yeah unfortunately," she sighed. "It was the main goal."

[rykermoth]

"I'll fire her tonight. You'll start in the morning."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"great." She smiled as she fiddled with her necklace.

[rykermoth]

"Do you wish to be paid monthly or weekly?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"monthly please."

[rykermoth]

"I'll look forward to your work."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"I look forward to work for you." She nodded.

[rykermoth]

"Will you be able to get home ok?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"probably not," she shrugged her shoulders. "But yeah, i am woman so i guess that is what i get."

[rykermoth]

He sighs and opens his draw, grabbing some keys. "Go to the lift, the top floor is my place. I have a spare room. I have no one to take you home tonight so this will have to do."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"wha- i-" she stuttered, a bit taken aback by the offer. "I can just walk home you know that right?"

[rykermoth]

"Then I risk something happening to you and Jax chewing my ear off." He slides the keys across the desk

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

her reflexes automatically catched the keys, the cold metal against her hand.

"... thank you." She said, voice barely above a whisper - no one had ever cared for her that much the last 70 years.

[rykermoth]

"Do what you want... just don't make a mess."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

she laughed quietly. "Noted." She said as she stood up, making her way towards the elevator and pressing the button, waiting for it to arrive.

[rykermoth]

A few hours after, he switches off the lights and goes up to his place. He steps inside, making sure nothings out of place.

[rykermoth]

"hey. You're Jax's brother, right?"

@annaliesdevriesofficial

"Mhm...How can I help? More importantly what did she do?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"Just wanted to meet the infamous brother." She smiled.

[rykermoth]

"Alright...I'm Ryker."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"annalies" she extended her hand. "But.. people call me anne, maybe annie"

[rykermoth]

"It's nice to meet you Annalies..." He shook her hand with a smile.

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"soo," she smiled awkwardly. "how are you?"

[rykermoth]

"I'm fine. A bit bored...You?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"well i just returned from my trip to my home country, and well, same old i think?"

[rykermoth]

"So pretty boring for you too? Well you're more than welcome to rest while I work."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

She blinked while progression what he just said.

"You sure? I dont want to be a bother."

[rykermoth]

"If you're here I can put the 'meeting in progress' sign up and Jax won't bother me."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"If it isnt to much trouble." she smiled. "And uh, about jax..." she sighed. "She told me to tell you to yell at this Derek?"

[rykermoth]

"Ah...yeah. Derek's a moth and he takes after me." He sits at his desk with a sigh. He gestures for her to sit. "Rest."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

She sat down feeling rather shy. "Thanks."

[rykermoth]

"You can talk... I'll try to listen but there's no promises."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

she hummed, what would she talk about? But eventually she decided to start at the beginning of the journey.

"Well, i went to the Netherlands - my home country after this little freaky war that had happened here, but that is because of some PTSD i got. I -" and she kept talking, for a while.

[rykermoth]

He nods along as he talks. He flicks between writing and typing. He looks at her every now and then. He puts his finger up to interrupt her. "Do you want a drink?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

"Yeah sure," she said while she shifted in her chair, pulling up her legs.

[rykermoth]

"Do you want water? If you want anything else I'll get my assistant to go?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

jesus christ this guy even got an assistant??

"just a water is good." She smiled politely.

[rykermoth]

He gets up and walks to the mini bar, pouring her a glass of water. "you seem a bit young to be going on missions..."

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

she slightly winced at that comment, here we go again.

"I uh, i am not that young, really." She sighed. "Im older than i look."

[rykermoth]

He nodded and set the glass, on a coaster, in front of her. "Are you one of these slow aging people?"

[annaliesdevriesofficial]

She hummed. "If you put it like that it sounds really weird." She laughed. "Its not that spectacular."
