Editing Mongo Thomas (section)

== Skills ==

Mongo is an excellent, if curious, cook. While he knows better than to foist his culinary concoctions on strangers, those who know him also know of his penchant for experimenting with new flavor combinations. Usually, his experiments go pretty much as planned, or at least taste better than you'd expect. If you happen to be the recipient of an experiment gone wrong, he'll be happy to fix your favorite meal or dessert as an apology the next time he's able.

He isn't as adapt at hunting and combat as he was in his African tribe, but Mongo's mind still runs the old paths, and it wouldn't take his body long to follow. His days as an acrobatic entertainer taught him how to train himself physically, even when there isn't a gazelle to hunt. He works out regularly in his spare time to maintain his skills, loathe to become like the soft civilized people around him.

The combination between his cooking skill and combat prowess means that Mongo can fight with anything resembling a cooking implement, especially knives. He also is comfortable with a spear, and will seek out an opportunity to procure or create one if the need to hunt ever arises.

Mongo is fair at English, but not adept, and his tribal language lends itself to confrontation. If there's something to be said, Mongo is happy to let someone else step up and say it, though his observational tendencies sometimes allow him to come up with gems.
