The very first Rage Monk, Rognus was found a grubby redfaced orphan, screaming loud enough to put Shouting Wizards to shame, outside the doorway of the temple of the Monks of Pacifism, Calm, and Stillness. You can probably guess how that turned out.
Rognus turned out to be a very loud, smelly, rude, angry, and violent child, despite the monks' best efforts. The child's rage was so intense as to resist the allure of their fabled Sock Puppets of Calm, which no creature could be angry at. Rognus bit them to bits. Eventually, however, even the patience of Head Monk Shushpap ran dry, and Rognus was exiled from the monastery. He wandered far throughout the land, a bit hurt at the monk's rejection, for they were the only home he knew. After many years of wandering drunk through the world, Rognus had an idea! If he wasn't going to calm down, why not use his anger to do stuff? It's what the Pacifist Monks did with their wimpiness anyway. So Rognus found himself a cave in the wilderness and rolled a boulder into it, and focused.
And concentrated.
And strained.
After quite a while of this, his frustration at nothing having happened was at such a high level that he rose up and struck the boulder, and his fist lt up with some sort of force channeled from his rage and shattered the boulder into dust! He had just invented the technique every rage monk masters - POWER PUNCH.
Rognus trained for several years in that cave, discovering many powers and causing several natural disasters in the process, including a spontaneous volcano. Eventually, he returned to the Pacifist Monk's monastery to show off, only to find it beseiged by an army trying to get to the next city in the continuation of the revolution they were doing. Or something, no one really remembers after what Rognus did to them at the Battle of Shitepile Crater.
