Axel Lanchester

"I couldn't take it anymore. I just had to see what the rest of the world had to offer.....Did I make a bad choice....?"

- Axel to Peter

Personality
Axel himself is a very gentle soul. He keeps to himself, and his nose clean. However, he possesses a nigh-insatiable curiosity, and can often be reckless in it's pursuit. This makes him easy to fool, but very persistent. He develops a romantic interest in Kamen Rider Spectrum as time goes on.

He is also a follower of Buddhism.

Kamen Rider Monk
Kamen Rider Monk's Rider Forms are referred to as Styles, but function the same as any other Rider's forms.

Trivia

 * Kamen Rider Monk is the only Rider in Masked Rider Complete whose primary Rider Suits and forms are adapted from upgrades used by his Japanese counterpart as opposed to their stock armor. Due to Kuuga's many, many forms the decision to adapt his Rising forms (as opposed to his standard forms) was done for the sake of balancing Monk with other Riders.


 * Kamen Rider Monk's Styles are derived from the Shaolin Five Animal System, each denoting a variation of Shaolin Kung-Fu.
