Avyn

Counterpart to the heavily augmented Void Walker known as Zenia, the young demigod Avyn is thought to be the echo of a life free from Gazia's ceaseless experimentation. While the others were molded after aspects of the almighty old gods—whether destructive might or divine grace—Avyn was granted the gift of traversing the boundaries between planes. Skilled with the sword, Avyn was initially assigned to the Athensphere army, but her unique talents caught the eye of the inventor demigod Azius. In what Giselle assumes to be a cross-plane resonance of unresolved desire, Avyn exhibits a strong yearning for shaping her own identity, as if to make up for the lack of one as Zenia. Indeed, these beliefs were of great interest to the inventor—she was the closest to what Azius believed was the "ideal form", the cast-image of their progenitors who were wholly their own selves. These were beings beyond time who could see into other realms as they pleased, and in Avyn, he saw in her ability the potential to traverse (and eventually overcome) the Veil that separated their world from the "other side." For Avyn, however, the greater calling at hand was to address the mounting unrest between the self-styled "rulers" of Athensphere. In their hubris, the demigods had chosen to subjugate one another to prove some arbitrary hierarchy, taking the people as collateral damage. Though considered the youngest among them, Avyn also possessed the strange quality of being the most empathetic toward the common folk. Little wonder she was able to gather candid support within the city, for the spirit of the living flesh is far greater than that of any machine.
