~General Appearance;
Alphonse stands at around 5'5, his skin is somewhat pale, but not so much that he looks ghostly in any way. He has bright grey-brown eyes and a lean build and some might think that this makes him look somewhat weak however this is not the case, whilst Alphonse is not muscular like his brother, he still holds quite a lot of strength to him, a strength that is easily seen whenever he has to fight hand to hand. The younger Elric has short light brown hair with a somewhat messy fringe, after his brother disappeared Alphonse wore his hair long for quite some time, but on arrival in Germany, he cut it short, partly due to preferring it short.
On arrival in Germany, Alphonse had to change his attire in order to fit in somewhat better with other people, and so he began wearing a white shirt with a pale green overcoat, brown trousers and a pair of black shoes.

~Overall Personality;
Alphonse has a very sweet nature, willing to help anyone if they need it, if at all possible. He is a very determined young man, and when he sets his mind to do something there is no turning back, he will always finish what he has set out to achieve, a desirable trait. Whilst Alphonse will usually back down in most fights, usually through wishing to keep the peace, there are occasions when even he has to draw the line and fight back. Even as he has grown older he still has a weakness for stray animals, still wanting to help them. He is kind and gentle to those around him, always greeting people with a friendly smile, but even Al can become angered if someone pushes him too far, but it is a rare occurrence.
Alphonse possesses’s a childlike naivety, which often has led to him believing people at their word, trusting them, if only partially and winding up in a few bad situations because of it. The younger Elric always tries to find the good within people, often hoping that with some effort it can be brought to the surface, if only for brief moments. Alphonse’s relationship with his brother is very close, and there is no one in the world more important to him than Edward, he will do anything for him and still worries about his safety more often than not. There are times when he will still argue with his older brother, but that is what brothers do.

~Full History;
Alphonse was born in a small town named Risembool, where he lived with his older brother, Edward and his mother Trisha Elric, Alphonse’s father left them when he was still very young and he has very little memory of him. Alphonse and his brother learned alchemy from the books that their father had left behind and became quite accomplished at it, showing off their works to their mother who never failed to praise them. However their mother fell ill and unfortunately died apparently of a sickness that she had been dealing with for some time, but she had never told anyone. Pinako Rockbell decided to look after the boys, treating them as if they were her own grandchildren. During that time, the brothers concentrated on studying alchemy in hopes of bringing their mother back to life and were able to train with a skilled alchemist named Izumi Curtis. When they returned home from their training, they proceeded to try the taboo art of Human transmutation but failed costing Edward his left leg, and Alphonse his entire body. Edward performed a second transmutation, sacrificing his own right arm to bind Alphonse's soul to a nearby suit of armour.
It was a short while after this that Edward decided to have himself fitted with auto-mail in order to travel to Central to meet with Mustang in order to become a state alchemist, and return Alphonse to his body. Edward did indeed become a state alchemist, and Alphonse and his brother started searching for the legendary ‘Philosopher’s stone’ a stone that would allow an alchemist to bypass all the laws of equivalent exchange, and get something for nothing, a stone that Edward and Alphonse intended to use to get their bodies back to the way they had been before. They spent four long years searching for the stone, and ended up finding it, but not quite in the way that they had expected. In a strange twist of events, Alphonse was turned into the Philosopher’s stone, and was eventually captured by the Homunculi, who’s master wished to use Alphonse to switch to another body, which she had been doing for four hundred years. Edward was killed by the Homunculus named envy, and Alphonse sacrificed his own life to bring Edward back to life.
After reawakening, Edward found that he had his original limbs back, but once he realised that Alphonse had given his life to bring him back he once again attempted a human transmutation to bring his brother back whole, body, mind and soul he was successful but he was forced to the other side of the gate, never knowing if Alphonse had been brought back or not. Alphonse was returned to his body, but it was his ten years old body, and he had no memory of the four years after which he and Edward had attempted the transmutation of their mother. He asked Izumi Curtis, his old teacher, if she would train him again, and she agreed.
Two years passed and Alphonse was still in search of his older brother, sure that he was still alive somewhere, having dreams of him where he was seventeen and they built rockets together. An apparent attack in Liore was stopped for the most part by Alphonse who transferred a portion of his soul into a few of the armoured ‘men’ that had risen from a hole within the ground where a transmutation circle had appeared. It was after this that Alphonse saw his brother again, but not as himself, he was asleep back home in Winry’s house, and he was seeing everything through the eyes of the armour he had transferred his soul to, armour that was identical to the one he had been bound to for four years. He was of course ecstatic to see his brother once again, but could not get over how much he had changed, unfortunately their time together was not long, and Alphonse awoke again, the transmutation on the armour wearing off.
Alphonse knowing now that his brother was alive and well, attempted to bring him back to his world by opening a gate for him, only after the sacrifice of Wrath’s life and Gluttony’s was the gate opened permanently. However Alphonse had no idea that a woman named Eckhart had plans to invade his home world, and that he had provided her with the gate she needed to achieve her goal. Feeling overwhelming guilt Alphonse ran away from his brother who had newly passed through the gate in a rocket powered ship, leaving Edward calling after him. It was only later when his brother caught up to him that Edward explained that everyone shared the blame for the destruction that was going on around them and not just Alphonse. Realising that he and his brother had to stop the woman, they teamed up and with some help from Roy Mustang managed to stop Eckhart. Edward left to go back to the other world, leaving Alphonse screaming at him, but what Edward did not know was that Alphonse had snuck aboard the ship and hidden inside a suit of armour, one that looked exactly like the last. It was only when Edward got back and Alphonse spoke to him through the armour before pushing the head off revealing that he was inside, that he finally knew. He was at first a little concerned that his brother had followed him, but Alphonse was adamant that no matter what, he wanted to stay by his brother’s side.
~Other Miscellaneous Stuff~
~Roleplay Sample;
It was a busy day in central, but then when was it ever not busy? There were always people going about their daily lives, the hustle and bustle of the city was quite different to the silence of Risembool, not that it wasn’t a welcome sight. It had been two years since Alphonse had seen Central, or any other part of his home world in all honesty. He had spent his time on earth, staying with his brother, he had regained his lost memories, the memories of the years that he and Edward had spent searching for the Philosopher’s stone. They had been difficult, but the time he had spent with his brother had been worth it, they had made many friends along the way, and helped a lot of people, and in the end, it had all turned out for the better, despite the hardships.
A smile crept across his lips as he made his way across the busy streets, his light brown fringe moving in front of his eye line slightly before he swept it away with a gloved hand, it was good to be back, to see how things had changed whilst he and his brother had been gone. He thought that he would never see home again, but here he was, walking through the streets as he had done so many times before. As he crossed the street Alphonse paused suddenly, frowning slightly as he turned his head, facing a small alleyway...he was sure he had heard something, or perhaps it was merely his imagination. Shrugging slightly he was about to move off before he heard it again, that small sound echoing in the darkness. Moving down the alleyway he listened carefully, trying to pinpoint it, trying to decipher exactly who or what was calling.
“Meow” he stopped dead in his tracks, a cat? The sound was louder, and it was echoing now, turning to the side, his shoes scrapping across the concrete floor, Alphonse noticed a garbage can with its lid slightly askew. Walking over slowly, he gripped the handle and removed the lid, peering down on a small helpless kitten, it had obviously fallen in. Without a second thought Al leaned over it and reached inside scooping the kitten up, cradling it in his arms before he began stroking it gently. Well, it seemed that not everything had changed, even after all the time he had spent on earth, it seemed that he was still the same old Al, and he still held a rather large amount of affection towards animals, especially those in trouble much like this kitten. “Don’t worry” he said softly continuing to stroke the kitten which now proceeded to purr. “You’re safe now”.
~Anything Else;[/font] Due to having seen “The Truth” Alphonse is able to perform alchemy without the use of a circle
