Mythcast AI puts your face in a story. Choose one of 100 characters: a frost legion marshal, a crimson shield bearer, a storm spear champion. Add a photo of yourself. Get back a portrait of you as that character. HOW IT WORKS 1. Browse the gallery. You can look through every character before you make an account. 2. Pick one. 3. Add a photo. One is enough, and a plain selfie works better than a posed shot. 4. Wait under a minute. Your portrait lands in your profile. WHAT YOU GET Every portrait is yours alone. There is no feed, nothing is posted anywhere, and nobody else can see what you make. Tap any portrait to open it full screen, pinch to look closer, and save it to your camera roll whenever you want. CHARACTERS Ten realms: warriors, royalty, seafarers, wanderers, shadows, undead, celestial, mystic, beasts and cyber. Each character has its own setting, armour and light, and new ones are added over time. CREDITS A new account starts with credits to try the app, and your balance refills every week. One portrait costs one credit. ABOUT YOUR PHOTO Your photo is sent to a third party AI service to generate the portrait, and the app asks your permission before that happens. Decline and nothing is sent. Mythcast AI does not derive, compute or store any biometric template, face recognition profile or facial geometry. Only the image files themselves are stored, in private storage that only your account can read. Deleting your account deletes your portraits and your uploads with it, from inside the app, in Settings. If you no longer have the app installed, email us and we will do it for you. You can read the privacy policy and the terms from the sign in screen, before you create anything. Sign in with Apple or Google.
