Shyntei/Myuu

Intended to be the 'final' Zaykenspawn, Zayken realized his own shortcomings and inability to achieve Perfection, as he was based on a human template and thus inherently limited and flawed. Predicting his own death, Zayken snatched the elven woman Seramille from the group of Kanpar heroes, and made her a part of his own body, ripping off her lower legs and forearms to grow her into a living pendant on the chest of the 'Zayken Perfect' form he had achieved for that final battle. During this confrontation, Seramille visibly went through pregnancy, but Zayken was killed and apparantly buried before any birth could take place. However, as the heroes left, they did not hear a child's cry...

Born into a cradle of loneliness and death, Shyntei grew quickly, absorbing knowledge at an astounding rate. She taught herself to read, particularly the journals of her father, and eventually this half-elven Zaykenspawn set out towards Myrken as he had, biologically compelled towards Perfection, though not truly understanding this.

In Myrken, Shyntei, still a largely feral and childish lifeform, was met with horror and violence for her monstrous appearance and animalistic behaviour. She soon learned to hate all life that was not like her, and as her father before her, began to mutate creatures to be more like herself. Unlike Zayken, however, Shyntei sought not to lord over all life, but to elevate it, and be a peaceful queen, beloved by her subjects.

After his rebirth, thanks to the machinations of Audmathus, Zayken attacked Shyntei, disgusted by her soft heart. He absorbed a great deal of her essence and ability, leaving her crippled and weak, and destroyed her hive. Shyntei was rescued by a group from Myrken, and when she awoke childlike and frightened, her mind ruined by the trauma inflicted by her father, she was rechristened by Biske, who had called her 'mutant lady'. In attempting to mimic the words, she took on the name Myuu Tanlay.

Although Myuu still lives, she has become a cynical and dark creature. When she was last seen, she was following Zayken, claiming that although he was a horrible monster, there was no other place for her. However, she has exhibited a desire to rebel against her father, albeit subtly. Myuu relentlessly abuses various narcotics and alcohols to escape her painful existance, but her metabolic and regenerative abilities limit her capacity to be affected, especially in the long term.
