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. But did I mention the charming golden tiara?

Expanded Backgrounds

Sphere of the Revolutionary Dog is a 1e hearthstone. It gives you an additional WP whenever you regain WP for any reason.
