Inspirations

Sang Monyet ("Revered Monkey" in Malaysian) is inspired by a lot of things, some of them listed below:

• Malaysian Folklore and martial arts, as well as my own love for martial arts and martial arts media
• The character Sun Wukong from Journey to the West, Sang is archetypically similar (a free roaming 'hero' who's headstrong and quick to get into trouble) and stylistically similar (has a big stick).
• The TTRPG Gubat Banwa! Go play it!

Background

Delima binti Suen's mother was an exceptional woman in nearly every way. She was a warrior that held the golden image of a free Malaysia, of Revolution above even her own life ... and even the life of her daughter.

Although, perhaps some context is needed first.

The nation of Malaysia has had a tumultuous history. A military junta took control of the government in the 2010s after worldwide unrest, however they were quickly deposed by a communist party. Within only a few years, the counter revolutionaries, largely supported by the rural poor of the nation had formed themselves into a fighting force. The soldiers of the dictatorship were demoralized by the sudden and fierce resistance and by 2016, the communist party of Malaysia took control of the nation. Unfortunately, pride goeth before the fall. Eager to strip their neighbors of corporate shackles, the communist party marched against the then nation of Singapore, which was a nation in name only, propped up by the Mitsuhama corporation. The army of ill-equipped farmers were no match for the corporate military, who easily repelled them. From there on out, the nation was kneecapped by heavy tariffs and brigades from Mitsuhama, forever stunting their growth as a nation. Eventually, the communist party was entirely phased out in the 2030s after political action from the Japanocorps and a constitutional monarchy like the days of old was established. A fitting lie for the corporate string-pullers to wield to falsely proclaim the freedom of a country.

This did not stop the Malaysian Communist Party.

They bid their time, gathering support and soldiers in the shadows for years. In the 2050's they struck once again. Civil unrest, fighting in the streets of the capital. Amidst them, one woman stood above all others. YaJie Suen was a powerful warrior and a more powerful adept. Proudly born among the Malay Chinese, she was able to cross cultural boundaries and helped to create the Malaysian Communist Party as it existed then, an organization that welcomed all that supported a free Malaysia, for and by the people, free of corporate shackles. She abandoned her family and her SIN in her fight and it was with the support of her and other powerful martial artists that the communist fighters were able to maintain any ground whatsoever.

It was this very strength that attracted the bugs.

They took root among the party, drawn to the fighting and the autonomous structure of the party cells. This allowed them to infiltrate and inhabitate entire key cells. As soon as YaJie stumbled upon one of these, she stood in stunned horror at the sight of her comrades being worn like coats. That almost cost her life, as a surprise attack from one of the mantises nearly cut her in half, she only survived thanks to Azhar bin Intan, an old comrade of hers who had been loyal to the party his entire, life, who continued to fight into his old age. Wounded, YaJie Suen vowed revenge.

From then on, the Malaysian Communist Party was forced to fight a war on two fronts. One on side, against the government forces who were soon bolstered by interpol in order to fight the bugs and on the other were the quicky spreading spreading invae. It was a fight that they could not possibly win. They were beaten and beaten very badly, escaping into the rainforest to lick their wounds. The government gave chase and continued to give chase for the next few decades but the insurgents knew the rainforest well and would not be wiped out so easily.

Half a decade later, Delima was born. She never knew her father, her mother broke tradition and named her after herself. She was told later in life that the man was killed by government forces a few years after her birth. To be fair, she didn't know her mother much either. She was out most of the time on duties incomprehensible to the mind of a child. She wasn't always gone, though. Sometimes she would return and tell her stories. About herself, about the party, from myth and folklore and song. When her mother wasn't around, she was raised by Azhar, who was getting too old to properly fight and yet stubbornly held onto life, so eager was he to see his protege's child live and thrive.

Unfortunately, that means making hard decisions. When she was 8, the party began moving to militarize once again. Azhar feared that Delima would make an attempt to fight and begged YaJie to send the child away, to safety.

She agreed.

The Knights Hospitaller, old contacts of the party who had helped to distribute medical supplies to the party to distribute to the rural poor that were indiscriminately targeted by government forces in the crossfire, were contacted. They agreed to take in the child. Azhar, deciding that his fighting days were behind him and being easily seasick and not suited for naval life aboard New Rhodes, decided to live out his golden years in the NAN. Nevertheless, he remained in constant matrix contact with Delima as she grew up.

That is the story of how Delima binti Suen came into the care of Knights Hospitaller but it is far, far from the end of her story.
