sun wukong (monkey)

Sun Wukong was born from a magical stone formed from chaos. Upon hatching into the world he lived most of his life on The Mountain of Flowers and Fruit. There he joined and lived with a large group of monkeys eventually discovering a secret cave that the monkeys could use as their new home. The monkeys were grateful for this and accepted Sun Wukong as their king and proclaimed him The Monkey King. However, Sun Wukong was not happy with their peaceful life, as he feared death and his time in the Mortal Realm ending. Because of that he decided to seek out Immortality. Crossing many seas and continents this Journey of his is successful as he learns not only Immortality but obtains all sorts of abilities. Through his story he would end up clashing with the forces of Heaven, rebelling against them and eventually being imprisoned under a Chain of Five Mountains, sealed by the Buddha for 500 Years. After being freed under the condition he is to accompany the Monk Tripitaka on a pilgrimage to retrieve Buddhist Sutras from the Buddha and his Pure Land before bringing them to them to Tripitaka's home. This leads the two of them, along with a few companions on a Journey to West, and by the end Sun Wukong is made into The Buddha Victorious in Strife.
