No problem! Now, this shouldn't take long, but there are a few points here that I feel would be important for you to grasp.
Firstly, with which bio are you planning on pairing the Monkey contract with and why?
Secondly, what do you believe makes the Monkey contract unique?

I'm planning on pairing it with my puppetry bio, and the reason for that is very simple. Puppetry bios are long range fighters and are weak when it comes to close quarters combat, so I decided to pick the monkey contract to remedy that weakness because they are the best CQC fighters out of all the cannon contracts, which leads to your second question....
I find them unique because they are the most human like creatures out of the cannon contracts, and are way more rounded than the other contracts due to their ability to use actual taijutsu. Lastly, there's only one other RPer that is signed to the monkey contract so that in itself makes them unique because they're not saturated like snakes and toads.
Hmm. While I find that your tactical response was quite intriguing and on point, you are missing another vital point to the Monkey Contract. Indeed, they possess strong Taijutsu prowess, however, it is not necessarily their abilities that make them so unique. You mentioned "human-like creatures" and this is a prominent keypoint.
Recall the relationship in between the Third Hokage and Enma, the Monkey King. Compared to other summons such as snakes or toads who simply obey their master, why might Enma be different and why could this be vital during a battle?

Okay, I see what you're saying. What makes Enma different from most summons is that he is able to act on his own without Hiruzen's assistance, and even opposed him at times like when he was persistent on killing Orochimaru despite Hiruzen's orders. This is vital in battle because the summoned creature don't have to solely rely on the summoner's directions in order to take action on the current situation.
Precisely. So, while most summons perform exactly what they're told to do, much like mindless robots, Enma is different in the sense that your bond with him is a bond of respect. He will, nevertheless, obey what you tell him to do, but do expect him to have counteractive opinions during moments on the battlefield.
Thus, I would like you to think of a few ways that his sharp, independent personality and mind could benefit you in battle. Have you already signed the contract/obtained a tattoo or no?
