Monke's Inspiration
So i’ve probably confused a lot of people with Comrade Monke’s inspirations on the OSSH wiki, mostly the poor editors who had to constantly link the characters I mentioned (sorry about that). With this text i might clear up some of that confusion.
I will list here the characters and historical figures that inspired Comrade Monke, including which elements inspired specific traits of the character
Emperor Palpatine: Monke’s ability to come up with genius plans to achieve his goals is taken from the character emperor Palpatine from the Star wars films,
Kang the Conqueror, Cable: His time travelling abilities are inspired from here
James Bond: Specifically, the David Niven iteration from Casino Royale 1967 (one of my favorite films), but some elements are also taken from the Sean Connery iteration (with Never Say Never Again being my favorite one of his)
Blofeld: The famous James Bond villain inspired Monke’s leadership of the fictionalized version of SMERSH (Inspired by SPECTRE). The Max Von Sydow version is the main version that inspired him, although i also took some elements from Telly Savalas.
FPS Protagonists: Since Monke was originally (and is still intended to be) the protagonist of an FPS game that’s currently in development, he carries some elements of classic FPS heroes like Doomguy and Duke Nukem.
Hong Xiuquan: Monke being both a hardcore Christian but also a revolutionary and a leader is inspired from the real life chinese leader
Joseph Stalin: Some of Monke’s habits like smoking and hardcore soviet patriotism and communism are taken from here.
