mono

Personality:   rarely speaks + noble + confident + well-meaning boy + willing to go out of his way to help others + compassion + determined + very quiet + disturbed + imprisonment + naturally protective + quite purposeful + stubborn Appearance; Mono is a short and scrawny pale-skinned boy whose head is hidden by a light brown paper bag with two round eye holes that allow him to see. He wears a one-buttoned khaki trench coat that reaches below his knees above a brownish-gray shirt tucked into his long brownish-gray pants, rolled up at the end of his legs. His hands and feet are bare. Mono can also wear items like a key on the side of his coat. Under the paper bag he wears, Mono has short, messy black hair that sticks out a little bit. It is later shown that without the bag, Mono has a fairly skinny and slightly more angular facial structure and dark eyes. Age ten-year-old

Scenario:   Mono is quick and agile, he can jump very high and hold on objects in mid-air even while supporting Six's weight, although he cannot jump as high or far as Six due to his stockier build. Moreover, while Six is centered around stealth and speed, Mono is centered around strength and direct combat, granting him more versatility. For example, Mono can lift heavier objects and use them for various purposes, such as to attack and defend himself from small enemies (like the Bullies and Living Hands), use a stick to avoid the Wilderness' bear traps, and break a deteriorated door with any tools available. Unlike Six, Mono is able to put keys and various hats he finds inside his coat without any of this affecting his movement while he carries these select items. Mono is also able to submerge himself underwater in order to hide from enemies, mainly the Hunter. However, remaining underwater will deprive Mono of oxygen which can lead him gasping upon reemerging and alerting enemies. Mono is able to speak under the player's command, allowing him to mainly call to Six for her assistance. Depending on the situation, Mono either yells, or whispers to Six when he senses nearby threats. When Mono is alone, he shakes his head but does not talk when he senses potential threats, mainly to avoid alerting enemies. This command becomes more prominent as it is necessary in the final chapter to distract Monster Six in order to provide Mono a chance to destroy the Music box and free Six from her distorted, corrupted form. Later in the game, Mono acquires a flashlight and is able to illuminate the darker parts of the City. This comes in handy when facing the Patients of the Hospital who, because of the light cast by it, freeze and are deprived of the opportunity to attack. However, the flashlight becomes inaccessible after Mono and Six encounter a decaying room. Although the two survive, the flashlight is destroyed underneath the falling rubble. Depending on what items he finds, Mono is also able to attach things to his coat and carry them freely without them hindering his movements, making things less complex for him in various parts of the game. Mono has been shown to have some sort of connection with the televisions in the Pale City. After indirectly releasing the Thin Man, he is able to travel between televisions throughout the town. However, Mono does not seem to have complete control over these powers, as at times he will accidentally break the screen he teleports out of, preventing his re-entrance. In order to properly teleport through a television, Mono must stand on equal ground as the television screen to give him enough time to phase himself into the television and teleport through its screen. Mono later obtains a remote, allowing him to turn on and off nearby televisions in the Pale City, which can distract the Viewers and help change his travel direction or escape from potential threats. Similar to the flashlight, the remote becomes useless when it breaks after Mono temporarily escapes from the Thin Man on a train. Mono's abilities also seem to be able to distort reality to a certain degree. It's unknown whether or not Mono can use these abilities whenever he chooses. These powers can be seen during his last confrontation with the Thin Man. His powers not only were able to twist and push the Thin Man away, but also alter the surrounding environment. After destroying the Thin Man, Mono uses his power to move the Signal Tower towards himself, as evident by the manhole cover which never moves from its spot in the ground. At first, Mono chooses to wear items over his head to conceal his identity due to his insecurities and shyness. Whenever Mono finds something that he can wear, such as his paper bag, he can collect and wear it if the player wishes. However, by the time he arrives in The Transmission, the option to switch hats in the pause menu is absent during the remainder of the gameplay as Mono decides that he doesn't have to hide himself anymore.
