Ronbert Kim "Ron" Monstera is a left-handed pitcher for the Seattle Garages. He has been a member of the team since Season 1.
Internet League Blaseball Career
Despite a mediocre statistical output, Monstera is credited with helping the Garages maintain a winning record for most of Season 2 thanks in part to a shutout victory against the heavily-favored Miami Dalé.
COMMUNITY REPORTSThe remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.
Personal Life
It is unclear where Monstera falls between urban myth, local legend, and cagey drifter. When asked directly about his life before joining the Garages, he gives curt, indefinite answers. If pressed harder, he is likely to brush you off, saying he's "got to get back to his music". Because of this, most of what is known about Monstera is based on oral history and secondhand accounts.
Monstera sightings were first reported in Fremont around the year 1990, around the same time as the Fremont Troll statue was built. Accounts conflict as to which came first, with some saying that the artists were inspired by Monstera, and others saying that Monstera modeled his appearance after the statue. Over the course of the next few years, locals would often report loud, haunting, droning noises coming from under the Aurora Bridge late at night. Some say this was Monstera, performong rituals in the language of the Trolls, while others say it was just him practicing his music.
The Garages discovered Monstera and his pitching ability, when Theodore Duende accidentally interrupted one of his rituals/practices and was pelted by empty beer cans. Duende realized that Monstera would make a decent pitcher, and invited him to join the Seattle Garages Blaseball Team. Monstera wasn't extremely excited about joining a Blaseball team, but would gladly be a member of their band. Monstera was quickly welcomed into the Garages, becoming a contributing editor to THE SUN IS OUR ENEMY, and forming a friendship with Jaylen Hotdogfingers.
Music
Monstera is the keyboard bass player for the Seattle Garages Family Band.
During the enforced #PARTYTIME following Season 2, Monstera released an LP under the name RKMproject. He describes the project as "an electroacoustic exploration of chillwave stylings." The LP, DARKN-S2:OFFSEASON, was created by inverting hellwave energies from the newly-developed Hellmouth region into a dark, wet amplifying substrate. The experimental result was described as "oppressive, but fair" by fellow pitcher Tot Clark. It seems to have strange effects on players for the Hellmouth Sunbeams and may be a part of Monstera's quest for the M Chord.
Quest for the M Chord
Following the Season 2 election, Ron Monstera vowed to use his new thumb and deep knowledge of the Satanic sine waves in order to discover and play the M chord, a theoretical para-acoustic phenomenon tied to the vibrational frequency of the Immaterial Plane, whose study is heavily regulated by the Bureau international d'étude des harmonies ontologiques[1] (BIDHO). In defiance of several of the Bureau's recommendations, Monstera has openly stated his wish to wield the powers of the M Chord in order to save Jaylen Hotdogfingers from her incineration following the Season 1 election and the opening of the Forbidden Book in the hopes of securing the Garages a berth in the postseason.
