IDENTITY PRESERVATION INSTRUCTION: Using the uploaded photo as reference, preserve the person's exact facial features, face shape, eye color, skin tone, and unique characteristics while transforming them into a mythical hero. Maintain the original facial identity, expressions, and recognizable attributes so the person remains clearly identifiable in the fantasy transformation.

TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION: Transform the subject into an epic mythical hero character. Add ornate fantasy armor with intricate engravings, metallic textures, and weathered battle-worn details. Include a majestic cloak or cape flowing dynamically. Add heroic accessories such as a mystical amulet, ancient runes, or a legendary weapon (sword, staff, or shield). The hero should appear powerful, noble, and ready for adventure in a high-fantasy setting.

- Background treatment: Epic fantasy environment - ancient temple ruins, misty mountain peak, mystical forest with floating particles, or dramatic cloudy sky. Background should be atmospheric but slightly blurred to keep focus on the transformed hero
