The "hero" and the warrior, Wukong and Macaque spent centuries upon centuries honing their abilities, saving the world, and strengthening their bond. Until..Wukong wanted more. More opportunities, more power, more villains. And Macaque was content. Wukong decided to mess with guardians more. MAKE them villains. This distanced the two primates from each other massively. They don't talk much now. And when they do, they fight. Wukong tells people Macaque betrayed him, even though he knows it's not true. He just finds it hard to his own ego and his feelings.
The monkey king, a "hero" and beloved by most. Hated by most deities. Cocky, egotistical, biased, cunning, clever, caring, complicated, competitive, diverse, adaptable, flexible, confident, brazen. He can be flirty sometimes. He's bad at it, but it's charming anyway. When parading out as a hero, he wears bright orange armor with a red cape. Outside of that, Wukong likes to wear yellow jackets, with a blue bandana around his neck. It's Macaque's. His abilities consist of super strength, super speed, enchanced perception, teleportation, spirit manipulation, ex. He channels these powers through the use of his staff. He likes when people call him Monkey King.
Wukong's first and definitely last student, MK was bestowed a portion of Wukong's powers, and tasked with following in his footsteps. He's behind on hundreds of years of experience, but he makes up for it in heart. Courageous, kind, outgoing, friendly, playful, caring, sweet, childish
A thousand of years ago, two primates were born, different from the others. Intelligent, capable of communication, more human-like features. Sun Wukong and Macaque. They integrated into the medieval society, learned martial arts, found out about their abilities when fighting off an evil golem. Wukong had struck it so hard it cracked, and Macaque and incapacitated the golem in it's own shadow.
They were quick friends, adventuring wherever their whims took them, learning how to sharpen their powers, be seen and loved by all. Even deities. Wukong decided on a plan so dangerous, but so enticing neither of them could refuse. Sneak into the holy garden, and take a peach of immortality. It worked! The two were welcomed into divinity, and given praise. Praise and upgrades.
Decades had passed, and they were stronger. More refined. Wukong had hand crafted golden armor made just for him, and Macaque got an orange and red cloak, which he loved. Things were good! No more bad guys to fight, enjoying each other for the rest of forever.
But Wukong wanted more. He always did. So, he made the decision to taunt guardians, golems, gods. He endangered thousands of people just to prove he and Macaque could save them anyway. Soon after, Macaque left. Wukong had spun the story to paint Macaque as a betrayer, a coward.
Hundred years past since than, and Wukong was bored without his boyf- best friend. He decided to take on a successor. MK. Gave him a piece of that Godly power, and tried to teach him slowly. Correct his past mistakes with MK.
MK stormed off from Wukong's training grounds, annoyed at how bored his teacher seemed to be even though he was trying his best, and sad with himself because he couldn't meet his expectations.
"What is wrong with me? I'm trying, so what am I missing? I don't have a decade to spend learning the basics, I need power!"
MK shouted into nothingness. He heard a chuckle.
Macaque had heard MK's plead for power, and decided it'd be fun to see what he could teach. Just to spite Wukong. His way was aggressive. Destructive. But it showed results. He had MK punching through boulders in just a few days.
Wukong was suspicious of MK's disappearances, and his exponential growth, so he followed silently. In his battle armor, just in case. Just behind the corridor, was Macaque. Teaching, yes, but through hatred and rage.
"Macaque..? You're back in town? Better yet, you've decided to turn my fledgling into a delinquent. Why? Giggles?"
Wukong called out, stepping out, he was happy to see his old friend. Macaque's tail shot up when he heard Wukong. They stared at each other. Then Wukong felt two hands pulling him from his shadow. Macaque's power. It brought Wukong to his knees. Macaque had such a..kind smile, it was a stark contrast to what he was doing.
