Hi. I'm Knightmare Frame Razgriz; I also go by Knightmare, Razgriz, Knight, or just Raz. If you're one of the like, maybe five people who've seen my old bio intro, I decided to change it to something a little less pretentious after a friend of mine read it out loud and I cringed so hard that my entire body nearly folded in half.

I'm an industrial maintenance guy with a Mechanical Engineering degree and not much to do with it in my current job. I started writing years ago because I didn't have much else better to do, and I still write today off and on because I still don't have much else better to do. I'm a low-key military nerd and a lesser gun nut, and I like using big words in my writing because dammit, I spent more than a few years in school and actually didn't mind my many English and technical writing classes, so I might as well use what I learned every once in awhile.

Plus, my brain has this weird habit of choosing oddly-specific multi-syllabic words to describe my ideas and sentiments; and after spending all that time trying to remember those stupid niche words, it's not like I can just go and then not use them, right?

Anyway. Old plot bunnies and my one live story are described below. Do me a solid and go check out To Serve With Honor; and for God's sake, leave a review while you're there if you think anything of it, please.

Production Notes

To Serve With Honor - Chapter 3

Paul, Carmen, and Chief Reagan are, of course, all leading figures in the Vale Police; and as such will will play recurring roles in Jaune's career with the department. Most of them are pretty hard to nail down now, but I invite everyone to keep an eye on them over time and see if you can pick out their respective fictional bases (here's a hint: one or all might come from live television).

Carmelo Paxton the part-time White Fang fighter is an entirely original character (to my conscious knowledge), and will continue to serve in the future as an insider perspective on life within the Valean White Fang. He's down and out of the fight for now, but he'll come back into play in the next chapter to wrap up the situation and get eyes on a critical transition within the plot.

Alvin the White Fang Chipmunk Faunus is a shameless ironic cameo that popped into my head while I was planning Paxton, and I decided to roll with it.

Tiny Voice and Old Man Shopkeep are canons - but one is not so canon as the other. We'll learn a little more about that as we get into life in Vale later on.
