Ryan

Ryan is one of the main characters in Life OverShadow.

Appearance
Ryan is a black shadow with white eyes and mouth. In his human form, he has black hair, green eyes, tanned skin tone, a red shirt, jeans and black shoes.

Transformation
As Lily makes the right, the kind choices, Ryan slowly changes back to his normal form. First, he gets hair and two arms. The next time he gets the shape of his human form, though his legs are still the same. After this, he looks like his human form, and the only thing that's not the same, is that he is still not a human, but a shadow. After Lily's last good choice, Ryan gets light green eyes. In this ending, he takes Lily's mom's life, and becomes a human.

Personality
Ryan at the start of the story is protective, and is a bit kind with Lily, but mostly cold with her. He is also ambitious, and he tries to keep her trust, in order to make her go through the journey with him, together.

Depending on Lily's behavior, he can become either kind, loveable and more protective, or grumpy, hot-headed and colder than before. This time he doesn't care about Lily. He only cares about getting out, and getting his life back. He can become one of these, or none: he can stay the same, as the start of the game.

Backstory
Ryan was a 13 year old boy, whose dad was really bad with his son. Ryan's mother loved him, but she died in a car accident, leaving the father and son alone. Ryan tried to find a way to somehow revive his mom, but failed, when he got cursed instead. He became a shadow, and got sent to a dark forest. He can't get out of there. The only way he could be alive, normal again, is to find a human, make him/her let him in - as his/her shadow -, and as he/she goes out, with Ryan by his/her side, the shadow takes the human's life, and Ryan gets back his human form.
