…….character ideas

a triangle chart with three captions, one at each point. the first says "angel rules (you can break the rules, but doing so will have irreversible consequences)". the second, "fae rules (you can't break the rules, but you can exploit any loophole)" and the third "machine/artificial intelligence rules (the rules are encoded in your very being, and to break them requires breaking you)".

been thinking about fantasy/scifi rule systems and free will

Celestial Water Monkeys

Was discussing in the notes of this post with @silverlycanthropelover about the possibility of Celestial/Stone Monkeys surviving the Great Flood by adapting to the sea.

One of the jokes is that "Sea Monkeys" (the frozen brine shrimp toy), are actually a misunderstanding of sea dragon records talking about the little mer-monkeys that inhabited their seas.

Basically

Ao Guang: "What are those things hiding in your mane?" Ao Shun, surrounded by tiny mermaid-like monkeys: "I dunno man, they just showed up one day, and they won't stop picking through my fur." Ao Guang: "Why haven't you scared them off?" Ao Shun: "Honestly? They are pretty adorable. They clean my body of parasites, and comfort me when I'm feeling unwell." Sea Monkeys: (*happy chirping + porpoise-like squeaks!*) Ao Guang: "They do seem very useful... How do I go about hiring them?" Ao Shun: "I believe you cannot choose them brother, they choose you." (*cut to hundreds of years later when Ao Guang is lying at the bottom of the East Sea, despaired at the loss of his youngest pup Ao Bing*) Sea Monkeys: "Chirrp?" Ao Guang: (*looks up to see a swarm of brightly-coloured mer-monkeys, all swimming around his gigantic body as they pick off the barnacles and parasites that settled in his depression.*) Leading Sea Monkey, petting the king dragon's face with sympathy in their eyes: "Chirrrrp." Ao Guang: (*smiles for the first time in weeks*) :')

Like pilot fish to a great white, the smaller creatures stick to dragons in a symbiotic relationship. The royal dragons are very protective of their monkeys. Ao Guang refuses to acknowledge the irony of a Stone Monkey being one of his greatest annoyances, whilst tending to his beloved servants.

trancript: "do you think any celestial stone monkeys survived the flood and just adapt into sea stone varient literal sea monkeys"
"be funny if Ao Guang liked the sea monkeys but disliked the celestial stone monkey variant"

"HAH! the infamous "sea monkey/bring shrimp"-pets accidentally being a mistranslation/misremembered recollection of actual "Sea Celestial Monkeys". Look like smaller mermaids or loz zoras I imagine. Kinda odd but ultimately monkeys. Ao Guang ironically I feel would adore them."

transcript: "If the sea celestial monkeys are just like their earthy counterparts when it comes cubs/cute things and been taking care of Eastern seas despite the human issue, Ao Guang in his huge dragon for resting in his nest being sad about his Ao Bing while a sworn of sea celestial monkeys try and cheer him up because sad dragon is cute dragon"

transcript: "aww! Like a swarm of fairies or disney creatures making sure that the Dragon King is well. I imagine Ao Guang wasn't feeling great after Ao Bing passed/was hurt, and his little swarm of Sea Monkeys helped a lot. They all crowd around him, grooming his scales, filing his claws, and chirping soothingly."

trancript: "they swarm looks so tiny like real life sea monkeys while taking care of Ao Guang in his real form, Mei is barely a child size in her dragon body to celestial sea monkeys swarm, must bring to sad dragon king so he'll be happier and make the water less salty with his tear"

transcript: "In the LMK world the strangeness of the southern seas isn't just about the current that surround the area in question but the cryptid celestial sea monkeys that made their home there after their adaption, Ao Guang may smuggled a few out during his last visit there more then a few centuries ago so now they are also the cryptids of his territory to"

transcript: "aww. Like the rumours of "Fiji Mermaids" (actually a monkey fossil). Ao Shun, Dragon King of the Southern Sea, just be hoarding a loyal swarm of celestial-monkey-mermaids. And since Stone Monkeys are manifestations of pure Earth element, it wouldn't be out of the question of Celestial Monkeys appearing as other elemental types. Lotus/Six Ears already having a bit of a Wind theme going on"

transcript: "likely the most abundant variant of celestial stone monkey species thanks to two sea dragon kings that hoard them like a traditional western dragons hoard their gold, no one talk about Ao Guang's odd attendances he keeps in his private wing of the palace or the massive coral forest in the center with sea creatures aplenty along with lots of sea plant life (sea monkey swarm who serve are spoiled) there are swarms outside of the palace in the territory Ao Guang rules"

Wukong has no idea that these little spiritual monkeys exist! To think that some Stone/Spiritual Monkeys survived the Great Flood by changing their whole biology, or existed even beforehand, is an amazing discovery!

The Water Monkeys are a lot smaller than Wukong or Macaque, being roughly the size of tamarins. They don't speak "human" languages very well, their vocal cords are more attuned to the calls of dragons and other sea life. They can still chirp and chatter as monkeys do, allowing for some delightful conversation between the Stone Monkey King (they do not recognise Sun Wukong as their king) and the school of excited fairy-like monkeys.
