Hi! I'm CB Ash - also known as Kummer Wolfe. To be fair, I spend my days going in several directions at once from software architect, inventor, and UX designer to science fiction and fantasy writer, Game Master, and worldbuilder on World Anvil! In short, I'm a creative storyteller! As you might guess, the day job is the long-time software architect / ux designer/inventor part. The rest is the 'night job'. Aside from that, I'm working on a few stories and RPG settings, one of which is in my world 'Summerdark', another in Tales of Justice, Hoist the Colors, and some serial fiction in Windtracer! (and quite a few more!) Beyond that, I'm either working on one of my github projects or web component architecture. Oh, I'm also on Substack! Here! https://kummerwolfe.substack.com/ ... and I wouldn't turn down a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/cbash ... and feel free to stop by my Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/cb_ash)! And some words of wisdom that I re-read from time to time...

What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.

— Jane Goodall

I would stand and look out over the roofs of Paris and think, 'Do not worry. You have always written before and you will write now. All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.'

— Ernest Hemingway

Personal history

Originally a disgruntled engineer and inventor, John Perkins had his inventions presented by co-worker Harold Irmin for years. When his prototype for a synthetic spray skin was ‘stolen’ and presented as Irmin’s own (which earned Irmin a promotion and Perkins a negative mark on his performance review) Perkins sought revenge. Already in shape from periodic training for marathons, he added a dazzling array of technology to his arsenal and proceeded to rob banks to further fund his inventions which he uses to strike out at Lex Corp and Irmin who he sees as his personal nemesis.

Just as he began his plan of revenge, he was confronted by Taki , Trickshot (as “Statesman”) and Mr Glass who convinced him into helping stop the greater threat at the time which was the Hammer Empire. Once over, John rethought his plan and work, deciding to follow the three heroes guidance and become a hero himself before it was too late.

Currently, he serves as the team’s technical expert and inventor. Current inventions are the C.O.I.L. (Carbon nanotube, Optical Fiber Interface Layering) Armor MK 2, Tesla S.P.I.D.E.R. (Scalable Processor-Independent Data Entry and Retrieval) Mark 1, and M.A.I.V.E. ("Modular Aerial Ionic VEhicle") the air car for the team.

Since dealing with a crystalline villain, supposedly named Amber – a djinn – where SPIDER download information and trapped a virus in its programming, some of its original acquisition coding has resurfaced only with the Knight’s Vigilant being the ‘base’ that it owes allegiance to. There is also an odd twitch with one leg.

Employment

Tesla Coil works hard at supporting his team, the Knights Vigilant, but during the day he works at the engineering consulting firm, Questworks Engineering, Ltd with his co-inventor, business partner, and more, Donata.
