Monu's Dad

Monu's Dad, real name unknown is a human who originated in the New Fantendoverse although like his daughter now exists beyond the Fantendoverse.
==Appearance==
Monu's Dad is described as a beast of a human, standing nearly 8ft tall he towers over other humans and has a powerful build, thanks in part to his near endless training. Like his daughter he wears a hooded poncho with a monster-like appearance, Monu's Dad refers to his Poncho as Barmont. He wears a sleeveless top beneath his hooded poncho which has a pair of pockets on the front as well as a pair of black trousers with white striped bands along the upper and lower portions.
Monu's Dad has two ribbons wrapped around his lower arms and a pair of shackles on his ankles, one of which still has a chain attached to it. He wears a pair of red boots although most of the boots are obscured by his pants. He carries a massive Flamberge on his back that is refined with Cobalt giving it the blue-ish hue.
Monu's Dad has golden eyes similar to his daughter's although does not have the star-shape, a trait she acquired from the Spirit of Combat. He appears to have long dark hair although only a few spits of it are seen past his hood, he also has a beard around his mouth although keeps the sides of his cheeks clean-shaven, the beard is knotted at the bottom with a third ribbon. His general complexion is also more tanned than Monu's as a result of his upbringing spending a significant amount of time in the sun. Notably Monu's Dad has several tattoos on him, two can be seen on his forearms and a third beneath his left eye, the tattoos contain geometric shapes although he has never explained what they mean although Monu reckons that the story behind them probably embarrasses him.
==Personality==
Monu's Dad, despite his outward appearance and furrowed brow is actually quite friendly and those that work up the courage to talk to him find him quite approachable, given his age he is generally much wiser than the other members of Chulu's group and often recants stories from his youth. He harbours a great deal of respect for others and often seeks to ensure his debts to others are paid back in full.
Monu's Dad is also rather unsurprisingly quite protective of Monu herself but this also extends to Monu's friends, he seems to harbour an underlying guilt however over the Spirit of Combat's influence in Monu's life, personally blaming himself for the state that Monu is in.
==History==
Although Monu's Dad will often recant stories from his childhood, the exact image of his youth is not well documented, what is known is that he grew up in a rural region on Earth where he and his siblings would often visit the nearby farmlands and help out farmers from time to time. From a young age Monu's Dad appears to have possessed an innate strength, getting into the incredibly dangerous sport of Bull Fighting (that is, getting into brawls with bulls with one's bare hands, not to be confused with the very similarly named sport of Bullfighting). Over time his skill at the sport earned Monu's Dad renown and he would go on to hone his skills eventually leaving Earth for a period of time to travel in search of means to further his strength and also to explore the sports of other cultures.
During this time, Monu's Dad picked up the skill of Swordfighting, although his technique is often described as that of an angry bear by some of his tutors at the time. Monu's Dad would apply his strengths in various odd-jobs throughout his early adult years as well as furthering his fame as a master of dangerous sports.
Not much is known about the period of time between Monu's Dad's early years and when Monu herself was born, Monu's Dad prefers not to talk about the matter although it rarely gets brought up compared to other topics anyhow. Monu's Dad does not however that Monu's Mum helped keep him from falling to deep into becoming stronger, a pitfall that he admits he might've lost his mind over if not for her.
Some time after Monu was born, Monu's Dad had solidified himself in the public image as a master of dangerous sports although decided to shift his focus more so onto honing skills more properly rather than relying on brute strength, this was in part due to the then recent death of his father who had passed away after getting into a Bull Fight that left him with a puncture wound through his heart, the dose of mortality cause Monu's Dad to return to his training of swordsmanship as well as other weapons, during this time his skill become quite more refined and his temper was often quelled, owing the quelling of his underlying anger to Sandpainting.
It's not well known what Monu's Dad was doing throughout the period of time between this ending of his dangerous sports career and Monu's acquisition of the Spirit of Combat, however according to Monu and himself, he maintained various contract work mostly around bodyguards and security. When Monu became the inheritor of the Spirit of Combat, this lead to a divide in her and her father's relationship, less so between Monu and her father and more so between the Spirit of Combat and Monu's Dad. Monu's Dad initially served to keep the spirit at bay by fighting Monu with Staves, although managed to track down and acquire a Extrasensory Cuboid Training Dummy for Monu to help her better control the spirit. Monu's Dad also admits that the spirit's power is immense and would've likely killed him had he not found the training dummy.
Throughout the period of time leading up to their arrival within Chulu's group, Monu's Dad mostly kept to the sidelines, his work led to the family moving around from time to time, at one point encountering Shægyr whilst staying on Gallastar. At some point, the family of three managed to find a way out of the New Fantendoverse where they met up with Chulu's Group, Monu had managed to break through the universal barrier in the past, however the method by which her parents managed is unknown and even Monu herself admits she's not entirely sure how they survived.
After joining with Chulu's group, Monu's powers had become suppressed by being outside of the New Fantendoverse, although still left her substantially powerful. Monu's Dad decided to reorientate their focus from controlling the Spirit of Combat to training Monu, as the Spirit's ideas had rooted themselves into Monu's mind leading to her wanting to explore all forms of combat further.
==Abilities==
Monu's Dad is actually a completely regular human for all intents and purposes,he possesses no supernatural abilities and is simply just incredibly strong for a human, his raw strength is often enough to allow him to succeed in battle and when his strength fails him, his technique with a myriad of weapons, most notably his sword can cover for him.
Monu's Dad also professes to a resistance to magic although this is unfounded, he does seem to be able to tank damage well from some forms of magic, mostly ice and fire magic on account of his body's built up resistance to both heat and cold from the environments he works in, although like most humans, electrocuting Monu's Dad quickly knocks him out.
==Relationships==
===Monu===
Monu regards her father especially highly in her life, being extremely grateful for the ends he'd gone to help her out in life, although she often displays this gratitude in playful and devious manners, often attempting to taunt him into a fight. Their relationship has generally returned to normal ever since leaving the New Fantendoverse as the Spirit of Combat's control over Monu waned significantly.
Monu does seem to think of her father as a bit old-fashioned at times though, not really finding the appeal of sandpainting, although this more so is from Monu's own lack of patience. Her father meanwhile, simply seeks to make sure Monu ends up as the best person she can be, and is often encouraging of her various endeavours, although sometimes the two have to be reeled back to reality by Monu's Mum who acts as an anchor for both of them.
===Chulu===
Monu's Dad seems to show a general concern for Chulu's state of being, often comparing it to Monu's in the New Fantendoverse, expressing concern over Chulu's accumulation of the pages of the Arg'Noktra. Although he has more often been passive about this concern, generally only properly showing it when people are put at risk from the pages.
