The Maykrs are an advanced extra-dimensional race that hail from the realm of Urdak. They are a hive-mind race, lead by the Khan Maykr. The Maykr species is believed to be ancient, and they generally consider themselves to be gods and far beyond the lives of other species, whom they refer to only as 'mortals.[1]
Biology[edit]
Visually, the Maykrs resemble humanoid beings with two arms each ending in three to five digits. The lower section of the Maykrs, however, is split into several tendrils or tentacles. Much of the Maykrs’ physiology varies dramatically depending on their class or age, with younger and lower subvarities such as the Maykr Drones having no visible arms and being far smaller than 'higher' Maykrs.
While normally covered entirely in white and gold armor plating, the Maykrs are actually flesh, despite them generally being referred to as 'ethereal beings' by other civilizations. Their skin is pinkish and their features seem to be reminiscent of many demons, or at least this is true for the Khan Maykr. This includes a maw of sharp teeth, little subdermal fat tissue, four sets of yellow eyes, and an exposed cortex. It's possible, however, that the appearance of the Khan Maykr has been demonified, i.e., corrupted into a much more hideous form by the use of Argent Energy over the course of millennia to prevent her Transfiguration—since similar aesthetic degradation can be observed on corrupted humans and Argenta.
The Maykrs are an exceptionally long-lived race, but they are not immortal. By the end of their lifespan, they inevitably suffer from some form of biological and mental degradation, at which point they undergo a process known as 'the Transfiguration' wherein they allow a voluntary death and resurrection somehow tied to the Father[2]. This process, however, was compromised by the absence of the Father's essence, leaving the Maykrs fearful of losing their wisdom and faculties.
