==Personality==
According to the Old Monkey, Wukong was not always a perfect being, for he was like everyone else who wanted everything for himself and would fight anyone to try and obtain it. Even after gaining his own kingdom and a title of his own, his satisfaction was not quenched, as he desired a spot position among the Celestial Court. However, this joy of his would soon turn to rage when he wasn't invited to a feast, causing him abandon the Celestial Court entirely.
It wasn't until he met his master, Tang Sanzang, who would accompany him on his journey amongst his other disciples, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing. He would learn discipline and manners from his master, yet still retain his mischievous side and pull pranks on others. Being regarded as an idol by many, he looked down upon the gods and was defiant to the very end.
Despite this, he did appear to care greatly for his people and was deeply enraged to learn that a lot of them had been killed by the Celestial Court. He also was in love with Baigujing, enough that even after trying to forsake her three times, he found himself unable to truly let her go.
==Abilities and Powers==
*Master Staffmanship: Wukong is extremely adept in the art of stick fighting, capable of blocking his enemies' attacks with precision. His mastery of martial arts, combined with the staff’s versatility, makes him incredibly formidable in combat, using it for swift, powerful strikes, block attacks, and handle large numbers of enemies at once. The staff's ability to grow to immense lengths allows him to reach distant targets and gives him a huge advantage in battle.
*Genius-level intelligence: Renowned as a trickster god throughout mythology, Wukong is incredibly intelligent, being capable of coming up with convoluted schemes to defeat his foes, ensure his victories and lead his allies. He was noted to be the smartest of his first master's students, with his intelligence being the reason he was taught immortality by him after solving his secret riddle. This intelligence is most exemplified in the game where he purposefully lets himself die so as to have a reincarnation free of the Celestial Court's control, even getting Erlang Shen to help him secretly. Despite this, Wukong's arrogance is one of his greatest flaws, leading to his first defeat at the Buddha's hands.
*Godlike powers: After learning basic immortality from a master, stealing and devouring numerous heavenly peaches and having his body tempered in Laozi's furnace, Wukong's powers have been enhanced far beyond his already impressive natural capabilities. Upon ascending to the God of Victory at the end of his journey in the original myth, Wukong is among the strongest gods in Chinese myth, rivalled only by similarly ranked beings such as Erlang Shen. 
**Supernatural strength: Wukong possesses strength beyond the bounds of any mortal, being one of the only people to ever wield the Ruyi Jingu Bang, a titanic metal staff used to measure the depth of the sea which Wukong managed to effortlessly carry in its normal state. He managed to defeat almost all of the gods of Heaven by himself, can effortlessly shift celestial bodies and was only defeated by the Buddha.
**Supernatural durability: After being tempered in the flames of Laozi's furnace, Wukong is basically invincible, shrugging off attacks from gods and demons alike. Even when facing Erlang Shen, nephew to the Jade Emperor himself, Wukong still holds his ground and manages to take numerous hits until his untimely defeat. Despite this, he's not completely pain-resistant as Sanzang was able to discipline him by uttering a mantra, tightening the golden band on his head.
**Supernatural speed: While riding upon his Somersault Cloud, Wukong is incredibly fast, being able to outspeed gods such as Erlang Shen. In the myth he originated from, he was able to traverse distances equal to all the cosmos in mere seconds, making him unimaginably fast.
**Supernatural agility: As a monkey, Wukong already possesses agility far superior to that of normal humans. He is fast enough to leave afterimages when he dodges, with his reflexes enhanced by his supernatural senses.
**Immortality: Being a monkey born from a rock, Wukong was already gifted with a longevity unnatural for his kind. After learning basic immortality from a sage, Wukong would participate in numerous other convoluted schemes such as cancelling his name from the book of death and devouring numerous immortality-granting peaches, making him completely unable to die. Even after his defeat, it appears that Wukong's soul reincarnated into the Destined One instead, leaving his soulless body still alive and retaining its powers.
**Magical powers: Also learnt from his first master, Wukong has mastered the 72 transformations, allowing him to take the forms of numerous animals and living beings, with "72" being symbolic of their sheer, infinite variety. He can produce clones of himself from hairs and has learnt numerous magical arts to supplement his powers.
**Supernatural senses: As a result of his godlike nature, Wukong possesses a vast array of enhanced senses, being able to see everything in Heaven and Earth if he wishes, as well as possessing keen listening as well. In the original myth, his keen eyes shone beams of light so bright that when he looked up, the Jade Emperor himself was hit by these beams. 
=== Equipments===
* (Chinese: 如意金箍棒 means "Compliant Golden-Hooped Staff"): Wukong mainly used a supernatural staff throughout his journey after he ever acquired it from the Dragon King's underwater palace in the East Sea. The staff, was originally used as a pillar used to measure the depth of the sea in which, could shrink or grow in size at will, becoming the perfect weapon for the Monkey King as no other weapon suited him. Wukong can shrink it as small as into the size of a needle that he stores in his ear when not needed, to grow to the size of a mountain, whether it is by manipulating the staff's diameter or length for various uses, such as his hitting his targets by surprise. With immense strength, Wukong can easily swing the weapon which attains at a weight of roughly over 6 to 7,000 kilograms. Jingu Bang can eventually be found in the game's last chapter, as a gigantic pole like it was previously owned by Wukong.
