Sun Wukong's Questionnaire

1. What town or city do you live in? Why do you live there instead of anywhere else? Describe your home.

Currently Wu Kong is imprisoned in the Five Palm Mountain as the Buddha crushed him with his palm and formed a mountain around him. This was due to Wu Kong trying to overthrow the heavens as the court of heaven labelled him as the "keeper of the heavenly horses" (essentially a glorified stable boy) which angered him to no end. The mountain itself is quite cramped, even for Wu Kong who is already quite small and visitors who come (few and far between as they are) are not even allowed to bring Wu Kong gifts unless they are approved by the court of the heavens which is even more rare. In the mountain, Wu Kong's true form (not the mortal one he is given as a part of contracts) is also entrapped itself further adding insult to injury.

2. How do you get your money right now? What do you spend it on?

Wu Kong has a large sum of assets, being the monkey above all monkeys in authority but none in power (or so he'd like to believe), although he can't access any of them due to being imprisoned. Not that he'd need them anyway, there's not a whole lot you can buy under a mountain. If he did have access to his money though, he would probably still hoard it all to add to his feelings of superiority that mask his unbelievable inferiority complex that he hasn't noticed himself yet. Or he would spend it on lots of lavish feasts for his monkey brethren. 

3. Describe your Ambition. What are you striving for? How far would you go to achieve this? Would you kill for it? How close to death would you come for it?

Sun Wu Kong's main ambition currently is to escape imprisonment first and foremost. After this, he wishes to become powerful enough to rival and even surpass the heavens. Maybe he'll even show that bastard Buddha what for. To this end, there's probably very few places within reason he wouldn't be willing to go to achieve this. While he certainly can't die for it, he will most definitely kill (although for the most part only people stronger than him or worthy of the kill, he's not a monster after all). As well as this, he wouldn't think twice about risking his mortal form if it meant there would be even a chance he could be fully free. He may even be willing to subject himself to doing the bidding of the court of the heavens or helping them out for the time being to achieve his full freedom. Of course this will lead to his fate of helping the scholar fated to enlist Wu Kong in their service.

4. What was the most defining event of your life (before signing The Contract), and how did it change you?

The most significant event for Wu Kong, aside from his imprisonment which has already been mentioned, the moment which is most likely to have been significant to him was his first taste of immortality. Early in his life, a close friend of his died. Wu Kong's first experience with mortality had him yearning for a way to beat death. This led him to seek out an immortal that he could learn from and he found the immortal Taoist Puti Zushi. Puti Zushi taught Wu Kong many advanced Taoist practices like the way of immortality and the 72 earthly transformations. This took up around 7 years, although that time seemed to take place for Wu Kong in a sort of compressed time trance.

5. Name and briefly describe three people in your life. One must be the person you are closest to.

The Ox-king/Bull demon king-

These two were once sworn brothers with six other demon kings but when Wu Kong disguised himself as the Bull demon king and stole the banana leaf fan from Princess Iron Fan, the wife of the Bull demon king, which cemented them as enemies and led the Bull demon king to swear to hunt down the handsome monkey king.

bubbles-

The monkey that Wu Kong was closest to within his monkey tribe. He started off as a little stone monkey playing atop the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit with Bubbles and they were inseparable until Bubbles' untimely death which led the monkey king to pursue immortality.

The Jade Emperor-

Sun Wu Kong strongly dislikes The Jade Emperor as he feels that he has looked down on him all his life. This all reached a breaking point when Wu Kong was appointed 'protector of heavenly horses', then the 'Guardian of the Heavenly Peach Garden' and then wasn't even invited to the Royal Banquet that every important god and goddess was invited to bar him. This led to him revolting against the heavens which is why he was trapped under Five Palm Mountain by the Buddha.

6. How was your childhood? Who were your parents? What were they like? Did you attend school? If so, did you fit in? If not, why not?

The Handsome Monkey King was not born of two parents but rather of a powerful magic stone atop the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit, with the stone receiving the nurture of heaven (yang), which possesses a positive nature, and earth (yin), which possesses a negative nature, and thus is able to produce living beings. Wu Kong burst from this through a stone egg and, first off, played with the other monkeys on the mountain. On this mountain, they found a waterfall at the base of the stream where they bathe and declare the monkey who goes first shall be their king, with the stone monkey obviously offering to go through first. Here they found a cave in which they made their home until Wu Kong set out to find an immortal to teach him how to beat death. From here he spent 7 years in training with Puti Zushi until he came home and found the Demon King of Confusion enslaving monkeys on the Mountain of Flowers and fruit, after which he killed him and freed the monkeys.

7. Have you ever been in love? With who? What happened? If not, why not?

Wu Kong has not necessarily even thought of love because it just isn't something he cares about. He cares for the monkeys of his tribe but that is most likely to be the most affection he shows ever. Maybe if there was someone he met that was strong enough to rival him as a fighter, feelings could develop but there's a large chance those feelings would emerge as feelings of competition and push Wu Kong to try and become even stronger. Although, something that Wu Kong has not thought about yet is that he could experience new thoughts and emotions generally in his new mortal form due to the different experiences people generally tend to have.
