Monkey's original design

In the novel there is a Monkey character who's name is Sun Wukong or just Monkey.

In the book He is born on Flower Fruit Mountain from a stone egg that forms from an ancient rock created by the coupling of Heaven and Earth. He first distinguishes himself by bravely entering the Water Curtain Cave on the mountain; for this feat, his monkey tribe gives him the title of "Handsome Monkey King". After angering several gods and coming to the attention of the Jade Emperor, he is given a minor position in heaven as the Keeper of Horses so they can keep an eye on him. This job is a very low position, and when he realizes that he was given a low position and not considered a full-fledged god, he becomes very angry. Upon returning to his mountain, he puts up a flag and declares himself the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven." Then the Jade Emperor dispatches celestial soldiers to arrest Sun Wukong, but no one succeeds. The Jade Emperor has no choice but to appoint him to be the guardian of the heavenly peach garden. The peaches in the garden bear fruit every 3,000 years, and eating its flesh will bestow immortality, so Sun Wukong eats one and becomes more powerful and near-matchless. Later, after fairies who come to collect peaches for the heavenly peach banquet inform Sun Wukong he is not invited and make fun of him, he starts causing trouble in Heaven and defeats an army of 100,000 celestial troops, led by the Four Heavenly Kings, Erlang Shen, and Nezha. Eventually, the Jade Emperor appeals to the Buddha, who detains Wukong under a mountain called Five Elements Mountain. Sun Wukong is kept under the mountain for 500 years, and cannot escape because of a spell that was put on the mountain. He is later set free when Xuanzang comes upon him during his pilgrimage and accepts him as a disciple.

In my story he was abandoned at birth and found by an elderly fox named Subhuti (which is the novel is Monkeys teacher) who decided to raise him as his grandson. unfortunately Subhuti died in his sleep leaving 10 year old Monkey to fend for himself. This caused him to become a rebellious delinquent who went around causing trouble.

A year later he met Umi, Shu and Pigsy when h tried to steal from them but failed, after that they forgave him and he became part of the gang.

In the novel Monkey rides a cloud so to make this more modernized I decided to make his cloud a skate board with cloud patterns on it which I thought was kinda cool.
