Greetings. I am Red XIII, otherwise known as Nanaki. You may be wondering how I, whom you know chiefly as one of the protagonists in Final Fantasy VII, a video game, have managed to secure an account on this site. However, I must caution you not to question this chain of events. If you cease your suspension of disbelief, you may realize that you are merely an average writer with a video game addiction and not a bold crusader on the path to fan fiction glory. I may also cease to exist.

First, I must inquire as to who has reserved my name! If anyone has information on this doppelganger of mine, your anonymity will be preserved and justice will be distributed accordingly. I am, after all, a beast.

Second - I like long walks in high grass, stalking small herbivores, and saving the world from evil. I seem to be doing more and more of the third nowadays... when you see fit to include me in your writing. And then there is the gross lack of female companionship that I am observing. Even Palmer appears to have been more sexually successful than I in terms of the general fandom. Where is the justice?

Thirdly and finally, I am not an overly critical man - beast - person, but I will not, in general, leave sparkling reviews. In fact, I daresay that most of my reviews will serve the function by which they were originally conceived - criticism, albeit constructive. If you see a review of mine, it is because you have grossly misrepresented me in a fiction of yours and I wish the situation remedied. Be warned that I will also refer my friends to fictions in which they are grossly misrepresented. You have had years to butcher us in the name of creative license - a license which I hold in the highest regard - but now we are here, and we will tell you how you can improve.
