Shows up several months late with Celadon West, and his Lawful Neutral aligned, Half-Orc Monk, featuring a little doodle of what said monk cosplay would look like. Ki-empowered Unarmed Strike included, though honestly, that's probably just West doing some fancy trick with celestinium and those bandages. He's probably too skinny for the intended effect, but for a real-life wizard trying to pull off a melee class outfit? Not bad.

Though his less than forthright nature doesn't exactly lend itself to regular socialization, West has a surprising amount of experience playing Spelunking and Sorcerers. He would be something of a strategy fanatic, the sort of guy who sits around silently taking notes while everyone else is roleplaying, but whenever a combat scenario comes into play, he snaps into action. This particular monk is especially suited to West's playstyle-- he is min-maxed for grappling with a subfocus in terrain mastery, a decisively offensive character on the battle grid.

However, as he doesn't believe in sacrificing character flavor altogether, there is also a brief backstory for his character. This half-orc seeks to fight his bloodline's innate draw towards evil by utilizing strict self-discipline and adhering to the tenets of his monastic tradition. To this end, they have taken a Vow of Thoughtfulness, where every sentence spoken requires deep meditation, usually lasting one minute at least.
