Personality

What personality type is Monsoon? Monsoon is an ENTP personality type in MBTI, 7w8 - sx/sp - 784 in Enneagram, SLUEI in Big 5, ILE in Socionics.

Monsoon is pretty hard to type (probably due to his lack of screen time). However, I don’t see where people are getting INTJ from, because I honestly see more Ne-Ti usage. The way he “pokes” at Raiden is by questioning his internal consistency. That is more reflective of Ti than Te. INTJs focus on ideas that have practical applications, but Monsoon is far more willing to get bogged down in ideological matters (the “memes”) just for the pure interest of it, or to try to simply undermine other ideological positions (such as Raiden’s moral justifications and Sam’s former beliefs). People get the wrong idea often about Ni (more specifically with INTJs). While Ni is a driving force that is concerned with ideas, INTJs more-so tend to keep their personal insights private and close to them, and enjoy subjects that have immediate practical applications (Te). I think most people just assume because Monsoon holds a nihilistic perspective on life, that he is an INTJ. Which isn’t necessarily true. He also displays signs of tertiary Fe. What tertiary Fe does, is that it displays acute awareness of the emotional climate, but it tends to “play” and “toy” with it instead of valuing harmony. What’s interesting is that Jetstream Sam has largely this same dynamic with Raiden (ESTPs also have Secondary Ti and Tertiary Fe). Sam just engages it from a more grounded perspective (Se-Fe), while Monsoon prefers to engage Raiden’s ideals from a “ideas” standpoint (Ne-Fe). But both have a similar effect on Raiden’s personality has the story plays on.

Biography

Monsoon (季節風) was a Cyborg Ninja and a member of Desperado Enforcement LLC. He was one of the Winds of Destruction alongside Sundowner and Mistral, and was named after the seasonal wind systems that occur in West Africa and Asia-Australia. Monsoon was capable of magnetically dislocating his entire body to attack from a distance, and wielded Sai weapons called "Dystopia", which were enhanced via magnetic fields. He also seemed to believe that the point of humans was to fight, be consumed with greed and kill, which was based on his childhood in Cambodia. His serial number was 976-AZQEE. He was fluent in Khmer, Chinese, and English. Unlike the other Winds of Destruction, he wasn't a former member of any military or paramilitary organizations prior to enlisting with the group. Instead, he was a former gang member.
