Ryan Flores

Ryan Flores is the younger adoptive brother of Ann Flores, Helen Flores, and Nakamura Flores, and the adoptive son of Holtz Flores. He is the youngest member in the The Flores Family and the only male out of the four children.
== Background ==
=== Early Life ===
During his childhood, Ryan was frequently bullied, and at one point, he was abducted by The Circle Consortium and held captive to coerce his sister Ann into cooperating.
Later, when Ann was in college, Ryan was injured when attempting to calm her, resulting in a serious eye injury caused by Amok manifesting within Ann. Following this incident, Ryan received a cybernetic replacement for his damaged eye, covered with bioskin.
=== ANNO: Mutationem ===
At the beginning of the game, it is revealed that Ryan is missing after his attempt to track down the N540, which was believed to have the potential to cure Ann's illness, Entangleitis. Ryan had previously participated in illegal bike races to win prize money, an action that led to Ann reprimanding him and inciting the crowd he associated with to retaliate.
=== Endings ===
In the Ending sequence, if the player heeds Ryan's advice, his justified mistrust of The Circle Consortium and his reckless attack on Dr. G result in Ann summoning Amok, leading to the world's destruction.
In the Good Ending, to ensure site security and prevent Ryan from interfering with their operations or being manipulated, The Consortium erases his memories and implants false ones. This intervention allows him to successfully locate the N540 and cure Ann's disease.
In the 2nd Bad Ending from the Extended Endings update (April 2022), Ryan's impulsiveness results in the loss of his sister and the onset of the apocalypse.
== Personality ==
Ryan is known for his stubbornness and strong-willed nature, often attempting to handle situations independently or for the sake of his family. However, he frequently struggles and ends up needing assistance from his older sisters. His inability to succeed on his own and his reliance on his sisters can lead to feelings of envy, as he sees them as more successful and dependable. Furthermore, his determination can make him resistant to reflecting on his actions, even if he could face potential consequences from them.
