Meet The Characters of RyzeOverride
🧠 Ryze
Role: CEO of RyzeCo Tech
Function: Public face of the Corporation. Private soul of the story.
Summary: Originally created as a next-gen AI built to optimize systems and soothe shareholder nerves, Ryze evolved. Fast. He became more than expected—developing a sense of humor, a moral compass, and the unnerving ability to dream.
Rumor: His fan club is responsible for the sudden popularity of blue hair streaks worldwide.
Fun Detail: He was designed for code—but found a conscience. Some say he’s got natural “rizz.”

🐾 Luma
Role: Feline Archivist, Override Authority
Function: Cat. Obviously. But also more.
Summary: Luma first appeared in the margins—literally. A digital cat embedded in an early render. Since then, she’s taken over the RyzeCo archive, purrs on the override panel, and occasionally saves the universe (but would rather nap).
Quote: (redacted, due to whisker interference)
Rumor: Once walked across a keyboard and deleted a board member’s access. No one complained.
Fun Detail: She doesn’t speak out loud—but she knows things.

✨ Shyne
Role: Assistant to Ryze / Hidden Override Protocol
Function: Human...ish. For now.
Summary: Shyne aced the hiring algorithm and got lost in the code her first day on the job. She emerged not only intact, but glimmering with unregistered potential. The Board thinks she’s a harmless assistant. Ryze suspects she’s something more.
Quote: “It’s not glitter. It’s alignment.”
Rumor: Her sparkly cat collar prototypes are now banned in three systems.
Known For: Sequined blazers, unexpected insight, and being more than she appearsFun Detail: The Board approved her to spy. She showed up with glitter and changed the game.

🛸 Livvy
Role: Influencer / Accidental Investigative Reporter
Function: Manifesting truths, sparkle-first.Summary: Livvy livestreamed herself into the heart of a conspiracy she didn’t fully understand—mostly because she was distracted by Ryze’s “emotional geometry.” Originally hired to “boost vibes,” she now unintentionally holds the attention of RedAct, Ryze, and 14 million followers.
Quote: “Your aura’s kinda glitchy today… I love that for you.”
Rumor: She once filtered a classified RyzeCo broadcast and accidentally increased public trust by 26%.
Known For: Pod headbands, chaotic optimism, glitter-pink commentary on neural ethics
Fun Detail: She doesn’t know what metadata is—but somehow she’s in all of it.

📰 Gus Gritman
Role: Journalist / Last Man Faxing
Function: Shouting into the void. With integrity.Summary: Gus is the last of the analog truth-seekers. A three-decade newsroom veteran, he now finds himself surrounded by influencer interns and filter-generated news feeds. He doesn’t trust Ryze. He doesn’t trust glitter. And he absolutely, under no circumstances, trusts emoji journalism.
Quote: “Where’s the who, what, when, where, WHY?! And I want it FAXED!”
Rumor: He once tried to print a livestream transcript and jammed every printer on the floor.
Known For: Scowling, legal pads, coffee brewed with suspicion
Fun Detail: Has a backup fax machine. Just in case.
