Wukong

Wukong is a vastayan trickster who uses his strength, agility, and intelligence to confuse his opponents and gain the upper hand. He inherited the leadership of the Blood drum troop from his master, Wuju. Armed with an enchanted staff, Wukong seeks to protect the Shimon and to reign over the jungles of the Beastland.

History

Impulsive, clever, and easily bored, young Kong never had much in common with other Shimon. For countless years, they endured his pranks… until the day he arrived in a panic, insisting that a great Dragon was coming to burn their woodland home.
But Kong only chuckled as his tribe began to flee. Realizing he had fooled them, and with their patience finally at an end, the Shimon named him outcast. Kong, for his part, was ambivalent. He would seek out people with a better sense of humor.
Living as something of a charlatan, he proclaimed himself “the Monkey King” and often challenged mortals to duels, or games of cunning. He claimed to be undefeated.—until he crossed a strange hadozee sitting quietly among ruins, wearing a red armor, so Kong challenged him to a good-natured fight. In a single motion, the man stood, knocked the kong down, then resumed his meditation.
For weeks, Kong returned again and again, determined to defeat this dour hadozee—but the Monkey King was always outmaneuvered, no matter if he approached from behind, above, or below. The warrior could sense whenever Kong was about to attack, even when the hadozee tried to distract him with hilarious jokes, and he somehow knew not to drink his tea when Kong laced it with stupefying spells.
Eventually, the Monkey King knelt before the man and begged to learn his ways. Kong wanted to be the greatest warrior, but he also sought something more. He just couldn’t quite put it into words.
The man saw Kong’s humility, and knew he was ready. He introduced himself as Wuju, and agreed to train Kong in its virtues of discipline and patience. He could help channel Kong’s recklessness and impulsiveness into a lethally swift and surprising fighting style.
The two grew to respect each other, yet Wuju refused to speak much of his past. Kong made a proposition. The two would engage in a friendly sparring bout. If Kong won, Wuju had to reveal why he’d stopped fighting. If Wuju prevailed, Kong wouldn’t speak for four full seasons.
Wuju eagerly accepted.
When Kong had first roamed the jungle as an outcast, he crept through a field of smokepoppies, and he lured his master back there now. Each Time Wuju attacked, the agitated flowers would burst around him—until finally he struck out through the growing haze at what he believed was Kong, but instead hit a straw decoy. Kong seized his opportunity, and grappled Wuju to the ground.
Finally, Wuju told Kong the truth. He and his fellow disciples were also part of the Shmon tribes, but were banned as outcast as they choose the warrior path. Wuju and his disciples created the blood drum troops, but many had died in their quest to seize the jungle and Wuju blamed himself for the Death of every last disciple.
This, Kong realized, was what he sought. Although his tribe had cast him out, he wanted to defend the Shimon, who had sheltered him for so long, and set him on the path of the warrior. Proud of his student, Wuju also felt a renewed sense of purpose—he granted Kong an enchanted staff, and a new honorific, as WUkong would be the new leader of the blood drums troops and.
From that day forward, he was known as Wukong.
