Rewrite

Hey, I'm Edward Elric, better known as the Fullmetal Alchemist. That's right, the Fullmetal Alchemist, hero of the people, military dog, child prodigy, and youngest state alchemist in history. It's fun to brag at times, but I don't really care about all that. Being a dog of the military isn't anything to celebrate. You have to follow orders no matter how you feel about them, come when called, and hell, they may actually have me fetching the paper for them soon. Wait... I think I actually did that once... *shakes his head* I'm only forcing myself to serve the state for one reason, a reason I can't explain or get into, but it's important. I have to take back what I did in the past somehow and am willing to do whatever I have to in order succeed. Well... anything to a certain extent. I refuse to put anyone in danger and will never take a life.
