Physical Description:
Appearance: Binx is about 5'2, and as a base appears to be a Human/Cat hybrid with deep blue hair, a dirty white streak, and dirty white ears and tail. On on their head seems to be an ink-cap mushroom, as well as some strange looking wings growing from their back that have inky substances dripping from them as well, which likely is what resulted in their in-ability to fly. White the actual Inky Cap mushroom's 'ink' comes from decay and self-digestion, it does not appear that is actively happening to the 'hat' and wings. Their left eye has a black sclera and white iris, white the other appears to be an almost glowing white.
Clothing: Binx is wearing a grey sweater with a singular navy blue stripe running through it, as well as a navy blue shirt collar poking out the top, and a pair of semi-thick opaque navy leggings. Over top those, they also are wearing deep blue shorts, as well as deep blue shoes with grayish sole. A small necklace with a almost quarts like crystal hangs around their neck.
It also appears as if they have some mushroom shelves growing on their clothing and Some of the Ink seems to have dripped from the cap onto them as well-
Early Life: Binx and their brother Cloud were happy they happy children of Grey and Eleanor. Living out on the edges of their city-state, their home was more in nature than anything, Their father and his brother, Xavier, were in positions of power in the very remote community they lived in. However Grey care a lot for the people, choosing to focus more on them and improving the community lives than creating turning their polis into a stronger player in the grander world like his brother envisioned. This, along with the peoples favor of him built resentment in Xavier who soon started to plot while continuing to act like the loving family member. Him and his son, Luke, often would come over for family meals with Binx's family, tho they did not get along much with their cousin who was somewhat of an aggressive child. Their older brother, Cloud, was very good at helping direct Luke to other things so as to keep his little sibling safe.
Significant Events: When Binx was around the age of 11, Xavier had enough of his brother's way of leading. He long since had lost love for much else than power and had to find a way to remove his brother from his position in order to get his own plans and ideas through. Knowing no one would suspect a 12 year old, he sent his son, a boy he had trained more as a weapon than anything else, to go set Grey's family home alight, while he was off making a public appearance to keep suspicion off himself. The plan was that the fire would either kill them or leave his brother in such a unhealthy state that he no longer would be able to preform his duties and step down- Xavier did not particularly care which outcome came. And unfortunately by the time the smoke woke up her brother, the fire had spread too fast and too aggressively. He managed to wake up Binx, and get them out of the house, but their parents were un-able to make it out alive.
Luke, having stayed long enough to see what the outcome had been slipped back to the city to report to his father that night. Knowing the responsibility of children of his brother would fall on him, Xavier did not particularly want to have that burden to deal with. He could not simply set them up for adoption either as that would put a horrible public image on himself and now was the time he needed to gain the affection of the people the most. Thankfully, for him, he had done well playing the loving Uncle- so Cloud having no where else to turn had made his way to the nearest safe location he knew, His uncles nearby cabin. Using a phone to call for him, Xavier knew all the pieces were falling right into place.
Telling them to stay put, he was sending some friends to get them and bring them somewhere safe- Allowing him to further distance himself from the situation in the eye of the public by not going anywhere that would put suspicion on him. So he sent some people to go gather the children, and instead of bringing them to him in the city, the were instructed to haul them off to be given to 'Arco-Gen Labs'- He didn't care much for what happened to them after that, as long as they were out of his hair and presumed dead, lost in the woods after the tragic loss of their parents, he was fine with leaving them to a place they would never return from. After all- it was a kindness they were still alive yes?
Hurt by the betrayal of their Uncle, Binx grew bitter and suspicious of everything and everyone. Sometime along the journey to Arco-Gen Labs the two had realized they were being taken somewhere fairly far away yet had no power to prevent this. Cloud was the one who pieced together the likelihood that it was their uncles doing that the home was set on fire, causing the loss of their family and life as they knew it.
Unfortunately, a few years in at their time at the Lab, their brother passed away from one of the experiments, leaving them now truly alone in the world.
Motivations: Binx want's nothing more than to be free. To have their life be their's again. If asked they would say they need no one, however deep down there is a longing for someone to be close to once again, even if idea makes them only worry of the loss they may face yet again.
Skills and Abilities:
Strengths: Perseverance, Observant, Protective
Weaknesses: Un-trusting, Jumpy, Spiteful
Interests and Hobbies:
Nature in an interest to Binx. herbs- plants- gardening- forest- all of it reminds them of a better time. When life was simple and they felt safe and loved. Occasionally they also like to draw, but they wouldn't say they are particularly great at having the motivation to finish many of their works.
