Flying Monkey is the current form of an ancient simian deity, kung-fu master and philosopher, born of a stone egg on the peak of a heavenly mountain, who, because of his lack of humility, and to his continuing shame, has been reincarnated in the form of a small and all-too-human cyclist. He has consequently been left lacking most of his mystical powers, though he has vowed to restore them though perseverance, training, and large amounts of hallucinogenic drugs. His zen calm and insight are still unfortunately punctuated by moments of misdirected anger and bitterness at his state and the miserable condition of the human world in which he finds himself trapped. That, and the lack of a prehensile tail.
FROM THE FILES OF THE ABD
Sex: Male
Height: 5'5 (165cm)
Weight: Light in body, heavy in mind
Eye colour: A startling, inhuman hazel
Hair: Short, brown, covers a large portion of his body. Supposedly imbued with magical powers, but mostly just imbued with rather less magical hair cream.
Race: "One far older than you puny mortals." Caucasian for the time-being.
Distinguishing features:
A strange but can't-quite-put-your-finger-on-it monkey-like quality. Speed. Agility. The ability to levitate while meditating. Extreme rage when said meditation is interupted. A tendency to be depressed by the state of the world and the attitudes of other humans.
MEMO
Whatever you do, don't interrupt his meditation. He might be small and appear calm but his bite is nasty and his sarcastic tongue has reduced grown men to tears. We had to pull Arnold off-duty a couple of months ago after he was turned into a blubbering wreck.
He appears committed to the cause, but we suspect his heart isn't in it anymore. His own mind, and especially his anger, is his vulnerability. It's more than likely that we can turn that to our advantage if we choose the right moment and the right trigger.
