Monk Quixote

The author pos­ing, look­ing mis­er­able. C’est la vie, c’est la guerre.

Monk Quixote is a seven-foot tall (that’s two metres, to my inch-challenged read­ers) war­rior monk. As a rare sil­ver pan­ther, he is very proud of his fur.  He smites all before him, and is smit­ten by those not after him. He likes to think he has an enig­matic smile, but it could be mis­taken for a ter­ri­fied grin to alle­vi­ate awk­ward social sit­u­a­tions. He’s a lit­tle shy, and I can’t draw, so you’ll have to make do with this pic­ture for now.

Monk Quixote is con­fused. Is he a hero?He has a very shiny tail… but what makes some­one a hero? And what makes some­one for­get their past?

Of course, it would help if he really existed, and sadly for MQ, he doesn’t.

Monk Quixote is the online alter-ego of Tom Esher, the hero — if you can call him that — of most of my fic­tion, ie to date he’s been in The Hum, and Tom’s Uni­verse.
