- Name: Binky
- Loyalties:
Orihime Ike
- Notable Possessions: N/A
- Personality: Highly aggressive in the ocean, Binky has been trained and taught to protect from hostile threats the temple where Orihime and her mother with several jedi train and reside. Binky is largely keen to stay under the waters and only surface in the paddock that was created in a small cove on the island.
- Training:
- Protect Temple: Binky has been trained to protect the waters around the island and the small cove. The crystal caves and the deeper oceans.
- Listen to Orihime: Imprinting onto the jedi from the earliest age the leviathan almost listens to her without question and will stop most of its actions when she (Orihime) is near and ordering Binky to stop.
- Combat Function: Highly aggressive in direct combat situations, a leviathan be it land or sea is a massive and dangerous creatures with thick hide, sharp teeth and the ability to absorb sentience from foes making them more deadly. The main limitations it faces is survirorability on land of which it does not have much and how it could be avoided. IN the water he is an apex predator that few creatures can beat, outside of it can literally become a fish in a barrel (a large barrel but still barrel) for attacking.
- Blister Pods: A dangerous part of it, largely used for its attack to absorb the life energies of the creatures around it. Orihime has worked to try and teach it not to feed on her and others unless they are creatures in the ocean.
- Imprinted: Imprinted to Orihime though animal friendship and raising. While he is dangerous to 99% of others with her he is almost like a massive puppy... with teeth the size of wookiee's.
- Intelligence: Largely done as it feeds, absorbing through its blister pods sentient life its own intelligence can increase but it is largely still prone to instincts and imprinting.
- Size: Binky is massive and not easily transported from location to location. He is largely secluded to the planet.
- Sealocked: Being a sea creatures he cannot really leave the water for long periods of time. Maybe 15 minutes before suffocation starts.
- Darkside Creature: Despite training and imprinting on Orihime, Binky is still a dangerous creature that feeds on large creatures. It is best to not think he is domesticated.
- Force Light: Due to its creation with alchemy the leviathan is vulnerable and harmed heavily by force light and directed lightside attacks.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Found by Orihime and Sorel when their journeyed to Sangral chasing after a sith research ship. There they discovered in cryostasis several fleshy sacks filled with amniotic fluid that were taken back to her mother Matsu for research purposes. A study of the navigational charts showed that the destination was for Mon Calimari where Diana had recently launched an attack against the sith with the jedi order and the Republic. Likely a reinforcement or second retaliation to disrupt efforts. The pair though for lack of a better term birthed the creature and Orihime took over care of it. sorel going to become the grandmaster of the silvers before being betrayed and exiled.
After she got him out of the sack and fed him her mother made a small paddock with hydrostatic shielding to keep him contained. Knowing he would get bigger. a lot bigger it presented two chances... one was to see if they could raise the leviathan and the other was to study the biology. It was a research chance and given its semi sentience it might be able to be taught to protect the island from aquatic threats. Not exactly a big thing but then it was easier to try on a remote location few went to. Trackers and monitors were put in place both with the leviathan baby and in the waters around that used discharges to repel undersea creatures.
The early days with the baby were crucial and Orihime stayed there with him making sure he ate plenty and was able to swim. Taking over and using the force to influence his mind so he would listen to her through force commands and hand gestures. He grew fast and had a taste for the fish around the island that would come into the cove as well as the random thalla sirens that would stumble around and down to the waters edge. The bigger he got the more the paddock was expanded and the more Orihime worked to teach him until he was large enough she could actually ride atop his neck. With an aquatic rebreather and hydrostatic facemask she could stay under the water with him and he never seemed to attack her.
The scientific and force research that could go into Binky couldn't be ignored as research was given itno ways they might be able to resist or cancel out the blister pods. Humanely studying them and how it absorbed the sentience of those it consumed through some of the fish or larger aquatic creatures it ate. Orihime would return as it got older and being able to ride atop her own leviathan served another purpose as it found the caves below the island, it found caverns filled with older ruins as well as murals from the prime jedi when the waters were not as high or had been frozen. Binky's adult size proved to large for may things and instead of a confined paddock beacons and hydrostatic shields were put in the water.
They served to keep him in within a territory instead of giving the entire world and ocean but he rarely traveled far from where Orihime was being able to almost sense her through the force when she was on the world and coming to find her. The main orders he had been given were to protect the island from threats and not to kill unless they were hostile towards the others. It mostly works but no one should forget that this is a dangerous creatures that chases down sharks and whales on the planet that come into its territory. Being unable to get to the higher areas of the island also worked to deter it from thinking of the people as food.
As a massive adult Binky served as orihimes mount on the world... a kaiju type who could rise from the depths and protect the temple from intruders but it also seemed to genuinely care about her and almost talks through the force with its limited communications. She is the only one it will really allow close to it and to touch it let alone ride atop its massive head and mouth. The powerful tail and teeth going after sea life instead of the force users around the island or the caretakers who keep the other islands safe. The beacons and shielding designed to keep him away from them and their islands only having sections of the deep oceans.
