Mono: An "Origin Story"

People always ask me, "Where did Mono come from?" "Where did you get the idea from him?" "How in the world did you design something like that??"

And in truth. I don't make EVERYTHING up. Mono's look, his general face is based on my older adoptive brother. The fighter element kind of comes from him. The lower limb strength is based on myself and my interest in the martial arts that sort of got passed down to me from my older brother. I based much of Mono's temperament and personality as a deeply religious silent warrior" from myself. Well, that and Conan The Barbarian, and Elric of Melnibone.

My brother is not a clone of me. He is not my twin....AT ALL. Definitely not a twin. He's not even genetically related to me, but he was a badass growing up. And I liked that about him. 

As for his co-star, Jen, she was based on my old art school girlfriend I was profoundly infatuated with at one point, but we were kind of star-crossed lovers, so, y'know, it didn't work out...

But no. Society is NOT prepared to live in a world where Harry Potter is step brothers with David Duchovny, and Harry Potter is married to Tank Girl, and David Duchovny marries Serena Williams. NOT PREPARED I TELL YOU!! UNNNNACCEPTABBLLLLLEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUT IT'S THE TRUTH. UNLIKE THOSE LIES YOU OTHER GUYS SHIT OUT ON THE MEDIA THROUGH YOUR ASSHOLES.
