=== Character Description ===

Monkey's a young man, a bit short (5'4"). Short black hair, usually stylishly messy. Not muscular, but fit. He usually goes around barefoot wearing a red jacket. On hot days, he wears a light-colored bandanna. Monkey almost always has a knife tucked in his belt, but when he's expecting trouble, he'll wear a bandolier of knives and have at least two pistols around. No, no straw hat.

=== History ====

Monkey grew up Lapping Water, one of the many small islands of the West, so insignificant that most cartographers would not include it in their grand maps. His childhood was not remarkably different from others of his village. Perhaps slightly quicker to learn, perhaps better at swimming and sailing, but not enough to attract the notice of the rich and powerful. His love of tall places and long limbs earned him the nickname Monkey, and pretty soon everyone was calling him Monkey affectionally.

This changed when he reached puberty. In a few short years, from being just one of the boys, he became the leader of the boys and sweetheart of the girls. Had history went the way people expected it, Monkey would've become First Hunter and marry the chief's daughter and taken a Warrior Name within five years, and Lapping Water would've been a stronger village because of it. Alas, in the Age of Sorrows history is rarely peaceful.

(not finished)

=== Expanded Backgrounds ===
Following house rule, ally works slightly different. Each dot gives either a powerful ally, two minor allies, or a group of weak allies. I counting the Dragon Kings as weak allies and Master Jaff and Cha Delgerai as minor allies. I might have Jaff's and Delgerai's usefulness wrong though.

Ally: [[JesseLowe/PelepsLeden | PelepsLeden ]] and [[JesseLowe/AuspexInCrimson | AuspexInCrimson ]]. The Solar and Abyssal lovers we rescued.

Ally: [[JesseLowe/MasterJaff | MasterJaff]] was Monkey's familiar. Originally he was an extraordinarily intelligent monkey, who was practically given to Monkey by "this weird old man" during one of the shopping expedition. For his part in the campaign against Mask of Winters, he gained divinity and is given the task of being the liaison between the Solar Wind Fleet and Heaven. To this day, he still wouldn't say who was the "weird old man" and who exactly gave him the divine status.

Ally: [[JesseLowe/ChaDelgarai | ChaDelgerai]] is the god of [[JesseLowe/Tanjung | Tanjung]], the new Marukani Capital after the fall of Celeren. There is some questions on how he gained his position, as Tanjung did not even exist until after the fall of Celeren, after which the godseed of Yeke Delger, city father of Celeren, was buried in the patch of land that was to become Tanjung. Nevertheless, the god of the place has claimed descent from Yeke Delger and is using his newly-found power to provide every incentive to the horselords to make Tanjung the new capital.

Ally: [[JesseLowe/Kurushka | Kurushka]] Technically, this is Kurushka and friends, as there should be an entire tribe of Dragon Kings who owes us for their sentience and freedom.

Artifacts: Dragon Tear Tiara. +1 to Perception, +3 if the Perception roll is related to occult things. Was previously worn by [[JesseLowe/StillMoon | StillMoon]], the previous host of Monkey's Solar shard.

Contacts: [[Shalrina]] of [[Nexus]]. Monkey owes her a favor already, but even so Shalrina might be willing to lend a hand or whisper a secret in exchange for yet another favor owed.

Contacts: [[JesseLowe/AmbassadorToTheUnfortunate | AmbassadorToTheUnfortunate ]] "Next we meet together, it shall be as friends." And so far there has been no reason to think otherwise.

=== Other Notes ===
Limit Break 3 
Willpower 10/10 
Personal 22/22 
Peripheral 47/51 (4 committed to artifact) 

== Comments ==
7/9 Second Edition starting character rebuild 
10/8. The following changes and additions are treated as part of story gain, and as such isn't counted against the 25+5 BP.
* Ally 4. Partial points from Familiar 2. The allies are people who owes Monkey a lot. Powerful allies are: Auspex and Peleps. Each one dot. Minor allies are Master Jaff and Cha Delgerai. Together they're one dot. The Dragon King tribe is one dot. Total 4 dots. Needs extra 3 BP.
* Artifacts 2. Points from Artifact 3. Exchanging Ultimately Useful Tube with Dragon Tear Tiara. Dragon Tear Tiara was found in the previous story. We'll just say that Ultimately Useful Tube was destroyed in the campaign against Mask. The saved point goes to Cult.
* Cult 1. Point from Artifact 3. I didn't ask for it, but GM has a point. You defeat Mask, and someone is bound to start a cult around you. Here for completeness.
* Contacts. Shalrina. Ambassador. 2 BP.
* Followers 4. Comes from Apotheosis rule. 3+2=5 BP.
* Influence 3. We got a nation. We got Influence. 3BP.
* Resources 4. We got a nation. We got Resources. 3->4 = 2 BP.

The following additions/changes are not story gain, and as such counts toward the 5 extra background points.
* Manse 3. Freedom Stone. 3 BP.
* 2 BP intended to be pooled.

Where do the points go?
* Essence. 7 BP.
* 4 MA Charms. 16 BP.
* New Combo. 2 BP.
* Backgrounds I just put stuff that made sense given previous game and then tally up the BP needed to pay for it.
