A mysterious primordial Monstrum that shares Maika's body and mind, and fights her for control. Once considered a god, and drawn to the world by the Shaman-Empress, this Monstrum is driven by a deadly hunger, consuming the lives of humans and Arcanics alike, leaving only their desiccated corpses behind. Though it may give the impression that its only wish is to survive, there's far more to this creature, and its desires, than meets the eye...
A dangerous, otherworldly Monstrum that once lived in the body of the Shaman-Empress and is passed down through her direct bloodline––his newest host being Maika Halfwolf. After thousands of years of sleep, Zinn is awakened by Maika during the events of Zamora. It's driven by a hunger and desire to consume the lives of humans and Arcanics. Zinn is plagued by its fragmented memories and its relationship with the Shaman-Empress and Marium. Also known as: "the betrayer," "master of woes," "destroyer," "destroyer of spheres," "the terror," and "the ruiner-proxy."
Personality[]
Zinn has existed for eons, and views the native life of the Known World as meager, insignificant specks unworthy of attention, who inhabit a world of splendor so briefly that its beauty is wasted on them.
It believes sympathy toward the inhabitants of the Known World is a weakness, that would drag the Old Gods into exile once more. It went to great lengths attempting to benefit the Old Gods in the way it deemed necessary -- pacifying with violent means. Its methods eventual lead to deep seeded guilt, paired with the knowing that its actions caused the Old Gods' imprisonment.
Zinn was deeply devoted to the Shaman-Empress, referring to her as "the Beloved" and fondly remembers their time together. However, Zinn eventually betrayed her for unknown reasons, leading to her demise, and struggles to come to terms with its own treachery.
Appearance[]
A mass of dark tendrils and eyes amassing into a coherence form. Zinn can manifest in a number of forms depending on the amount he has consumed. In his weaker state, he is nothing more than an appendage jutting out of Maika's missing arm. With more power, he develops his own body.
Background[]
A primordial god hailing from the plains of another reality, it and the other Old Gods found a world of unmatched beauty. The Old Gods became divided whether to stay and sap the life out of this world, or return to their exile. Zinn wanted to claim the land for the Old God, not concerned in what that would mean for the current inhabitants. It fought Hajin on the matter, killing him in the process. For all it attempted to achieve, the Old Gods were banished.
Zinn was brought back by the tinkering of the Shaman Empress. They became lovers and Zinn found purpose through the Shaman Empress. Even after her death, Zinn must find a way to change and move forward with the weight of its past mistakes; a task it finds difficult now that his beloved guiding light is gone.
