Those that use the practice of the martial arts towards a mastery of the body and mind are called Monks. There are many schools of Monks throughout the world, though more in the Eastern parts of the world. A Monk fights without weapons or armor, but instead transforms their own body into a lethal instrument of combat. Monks adopt various stances they can use to focus on a particular element of combat such as movement, defense, etc. and also can use various martial techniques to gain or use Ki to pull of powerful specialized moves. Additionally though the use mediation, Monks gain Chakra which can be used to resist Hunger, Thirst, and other physical ailments.

While all know of the Sword and Shield, many specialized and Exotic Weapons of war have been crafted as well. Few can use these weapons outside of Monks as they require immense physical ability and skill to master and can even be dangerous to the user in the wrong hands. Beyond these difficulties, lie powerful weapons that create immense battlefield advantages such as Segmented Staff, Hook Swords, Nunchucku, and many others.

Drawing inspiration from the animals of the wild, the Schools of the 5 Beasts gain inhuman martial prowess. These Monks spend considerable time studying the ways of these wild animals in order to unlock these specialized stances and techniques. These include Monkey Style, elusive and unpredictable, Mantis Style, with it's penetrating strikes, Toad Style, unlocking great physical durability, Snake Style, allowing for poisonous strikes, and Tiger Style, with powerful cutting claws.

The Schools of 4 Elements allow a Monk to move beyond merely striking his enemies, but to channel elemental proprieties into their very martial attacks. This is done by mastering their own Ki in such a way as to bend the surrounding Ether into the elements. The 4 Schools of the Elements are Fire, Wind, Water, and Earth, each with own element manifesting techniques and stances.

Those Monks drawn beyond the arts of combat and into perfecting their own energies, eventually find their way to the Path of the 3 Temples. This is a very difficult path that involves intense mediation and strengthening of the inner self, as well as learning to transcend the impurities of the physical world. The 3 Temples one must master are the Body, allowing them increased durability and physical fitness, Mind, which allows them to see techniques before they happen and see through darkness, and Spirit, which allows for a mastery of the pressure points of the soul and can be used to debilitate opponents or even use the dreaded Death Punch. The Path of the 3 Temples also unlocks the powerful Ki Blast, allowing it's students to channel their Ki into powerful ranged blasts.

Whereas most Monks seek out mastery over spirit, the Drunken Master embraces the unpredictable nature and chaos of the impure body and mind as well as the chaotic God Yavarra. Drunken Masters are enhanced by the level of alcohol they meet, and by drinking during combat they can unlock stances allowing for increased movement, evasiveness, and unpredictability. They also unlock more powerful techniques such as the Eye Poke, Bicycle Kick, and Fire Breath.
