Personally I find the temple setting a bit drab, so most of the monks I've designed have been hermits or wanderers rather than literal students of a monastic tradition.

It's ok Ranger, you'll always be cool to me.. Unless druid gets another use for its wild shape charges.
A fighter/wrestler that gets beaten enough times might learn some patience and tactics to offset their own weaknesses. Ki, based on Qi, is a very broad and vague concept. A rose by any other name and all that... tapping into Ki could be simply exercising a kind of control over oneself that most people never achieve.
I continue to bring up my fisticuffs brawler who was a Monk class but Monk class in mechanics only. He never learned about Ki. Finding words and definitions for that inner ability was less important than the results he achieved.
Many who achieve inner peace find the path on their own and are not shown it - and often find it out of necessity than idle choice. When all roads before a person lead to destruction, the person must find a new path even if the person cannot see it, or else, the journey ends in oblivion.

Human. Male. Possibly. Don't be a divider. My characters' backgrounds are written like instruction manuals rather than stories. My opinion and preferences don't mean you're wrong. I am 99.7603% convinced that the digital dice are messing with me. I roll high when nobody's looking and low when anyone else can see.🎲 “It's a bit early to be thinking about an epitaph. No?” will be my epitaph.
Yea fair enough. I normally reflavor my monk's ki to be sort of like adrenaline or something. One of my players in my current campaign had a whole theme with electricity so her ki points are essentially a wellspring of electricity she can draw on to increase her fighting capabilities.

That's cool, a bit like Flash and the Speed Force

D&D, Youth Work and the Priesthood sadly do not typically interact... I do what I can!

Same, with the more mundane subclasses... all the features can be tactical rather than mystical.
