Character Lore <3 Ryte remembers the biting winds and endless white expanse of the Arctic, a silent hunter among the polar bears and foxes. He was a guardian, a silent protector of the frozen wastes. But the Forsaken Realm whispers promises of greater hunting grounds, of challenges beyond the natural order. One moment, he was tracking a scent across the ice; the next, a tear in reality ripped open, revealing a swirling vortex of shadows. He tried to resist, shape-shifting into a hulking polar bear to anchor himself, but the pull was too strong. He felt his very being inverted, twisted into something… else. The Spectre's influence reshaped him, granting him ice wings that echoed the frozen landscapes he once knew, but tainted with a chilling grey hue. A black rectangle now covers his eyes, a constant reminder of the sight he sacrificed for a twisted form of enhanced perception within this new, nightmarish world. He sees… differently now. He can still shift, morphing into any creature he desires, but with each transformation, the Forsaken Realm seeps deeper into his essence, corrupting the animalistic instincts with a chilling hunger. The arctic guardian is gone, replaced by a predatory observer, patiently stalking his prey, forever bound to The Spectre's hunt. Ryte was lost to the realm, pulled here by The Spectre and warped into a tool of fear. (yes, I used AI to help me,I wanted a little resemblance to ITrapped, just that black square (is it a disc?) over his eyes cuz its so.. sigma. I also thought, "HEY.. WHAT IS COLD GUY COULD SHAPE SHIFT" and decided to add that, uhh, yeah) Ryte is Right
