~Secrets; ---
~Overall Personality; Edward can very easily be described as a somewhat idealistic young boy, perhaps naively so. Though Edward has seen much, more than many every can or will, he still finds the brutality some people show to be somewhat frightening. Wars, torture, all things like that tend to throw him into a somewhat depressed state during which he tends to resort to violence more readily. Upon saying this though Edward has never killed, the idea of doing such turns his stomach. To him there is always an alternative to killing, even though in the real world this dose not hold true it is one law Edward has so far broken, he and his brother have accomplished a great deal without ever taking a life.
Edward can be seen as an outwardly cynical jerk, he shouts at others and tends to over react to most anything, especially someone commenting on his height. When such an event arises Edward has a tendency to go into a rather comical fit of rage, often spouting a rather random chain of words. He also has a tendency to act somewhat violently during such a time, whilst he dose indeed hurt others the damage is very rarely permanent. Rarely being the key word to that statement.
Despite what Ed may appear he is a highly intelligent and compassionate individual, he cares for anyone who needs it and deserves it and is happy to throw down his life for those he loves. Through the years he has spent as a state alchemist he has earned the title of "hero of the people", and indeed it is one that fits the young blond well. Though he is a dog of the military he is firstly an alchemist, and in his mind alchemists ‘be thou for the people’.
~Character History~
~Current Town; Resembool
~Parents; Van Hohenheim(father), Trisha Elric (mother, deceased)
~Siblings ; Alphonse Elric (brother)
~Other Family; Izumi Curtis (teacher), Winry Rockbell, Pinako Rockbell,
~Pets; ---
~Full History; Edward is born in a small town named Resembool, where he lives with his younger brother, Alphonse, and both of his parents, Trisha Elric and Hohenheim, until Hohenheim embarks on a journey and several years after, Trisha falls ill and dies, leaving the two young boys as orphans. Their neighbor, Pinako Rockbell, then begins looking after them.
During that time, the brothers concentrate in studying alchemy in hopes of bringing their mother back to life and are able to train with a skilled alchemist named Izumi Curtis. When they return home from their training, they proceed to try the taboo art of Human transmutation but fail costing Edward his left leg and costs Alphonse his entire body.
Edward then performs a second transmutation, sacrificing his own right arm to bind Alphonse's soul to a nearby suit of armor. Edward becomes a State Alchemist in order to find a way to recover their bodies through use of the legendary Philosopher's Stone. Winry Rockbell, his childhood friend, also outfits him with prosthetic automail limbs to replace those that he lost.
The end of the anime series is very different from the Manga. Ed finds out that a person named Dante has been controlling the homunculus. Dante had captured Al and Rose planing on using Al to transfer her soul into Rose's body. Edward arrives in an abandon city and finds Rose and Dante in a ballroom. Dante sends Ed to the other side of the gate, thinking that now he can't interfere. Ed wakes up in London, durning a WWI air raid. Hohenheim meets him there, explaining that this was the other side of the gate and that he was using the body of a person that is identical to him.
Hohenheim leaves Edward to fend for himself, Ed tries to figure-out how to get by to his body when a blimp crashes on him, killing this world's Edward. Edward comes out of the gate, realizing that the person he was possessing died. Al is in the middle of a large transmutation circle and Rose is controlled by Dante. Envy and Ed fight, Envy changing his appearance to people that Edward knows. Envy's changes don't affect Ed until he shows his real identity, he is the failed attempt to resurrect Hohenheim's first son. Edward is killed by Envy, Al uses the power of the Philosopher's Stone (contained within himself) to heal Ed's body and to reattach his soul. The revival, however, uses up the all of the Stone's (Al's own body) power. Al appears briefly at the gate and then disappears. After being revived, Ed discovers that he had regained his arm and leg, but decides to risk everything to bring back his brother. He then pulled Alphonse's soul and original body out of the Gate and reassembled them in exchange for his own life if necessary. As a result, Ed ends up on the other side of the gate, which is our world. He is living in Pre World War II Munich with Hohenheim. Hohenheim appeared to have been in London for some time, despite a relatively short passage of time between his being sent there by Dante in the anime, and Edward's arrival there.
Hohenheim later offers the theory that the bonds formed in the four years the brothers spent on their quest for the stone served as the equivalent exchange in the transmutation (rather than Ed's life, as he intended). Hohenheim also said, in an earlier episode, that one way for the Elrics to reclaim what they lost is to give up what they had gained. The death of Sloth, the Homunculus born when they attempted to transmute their mother, had given back a portion of what they had gained. In Al's case, he loses all the memories he had of the time he spent in his armored form and reverted to exactly how he was, body and all, before the failed transmutation of their mother. Ed, on the other hand, could not keep his arm and leg because he gave them up in exchange for the soul of Alphonse.
Edward leaves to do research on rocket science, believing that outer space could lead him back to the Gate, since our world nullified his alchemic powers.
Two years have passed since Edward arrived in Munich, Germany. He has grown noticeably taller and for a while, he lived with Hohenheim who equipped him with prostetics based off automail technology. He later meets and lives with a young man named Alfons Heiderich, who resembles his brother Al, for research in rocket fuel. Befriending a young woman named Noa, Ed found himself embroiled in a conspiracy by the Thule Society, bent on invading his own home world. Reunited with Alphonse and Winry once again, he is equipped with new automail and with Alphonse managed to defeat the Thule society but Edward had to cross the portal again to close it from the other side, saying good bye to Al and Roy. After crossing the portal, Ed found Noa holding Alfons' dead body, now finding out that Al had managed to hide himself in a suit of armor almost identical to the ome he was trapped in in the anime. after Alfonse's funeral Ed and Al decide to find the atomic bomb and dismantle it.
~Other Miscellaneous Stuff~
~Roleplay Sample; Sure, they weren't any closer to discovering the location of the Philosopher’s stone, but Ed was one to never give up. His hands within his pockets, his golden eyes calmly gazing at the ground beneath his feet. There was no silence it seemed, Central was always filled with a loud ruckus of noise no matter where anyone went. All he could hear was chatter, some crashes, loud screeching and the clanking of his own foot, but what was the loudest, was that of his brothers body of Armour.
His eyes glanced to him with a thoughtful smile before he continued to walk onwards, sighing somewhat as he glanced around the area. Someone had passed him by and had almost stopped in their tracks, and the words of which Ed heard, almost made him explode. "You're a tad short aren't you?" Ed clenched his fists, his face becoming somewhat expressionless. "...... W-" but before he could even finish his remark, he noticed the very clanking of his brother had reduced, let alone, had even stopped.
Instantly ignoring what this passer had said, Ed became concerned. His eyes darting around worriedly before he heard it a little, that sound of metal, seeming for it to vanish and echo down an alley. He easily walked in the same direction before stopping behind him in curiosity to his actions. "... Al?" Ed pondered on his brother, but as he came closer, his face turned to that of light annoyance, he had paused by this time, standing before him, watching him carefully as he stroked the small creature in his hands.
What had distraught him was the fact his brother was once again holding a kitten, and Ed's response was that of a sigh. Taking a few steps closer, Ed focused on his brothers metal face. "Al, come on. Put it back. You can't rescue every stray you find." His words quite firm. He of course had care for animals, but his brother could not just take every kitten and stray on the streets and take them in, surely there was a nice place for them to be cared for? Yet Ed did admire his brother's care though.
Before anything else was said, Ed felt unusually woozy, a strange dizzy sensation that somewhat resembled fainting. Placing his hand on his head, Ed tried to stay with it, watching his brother in an attempt to persuade him to return the kitten. Yet it was somewhat difficult with this swirling feeling around him. Ed's eyes dazed, and by this time, he had lowered his arm, standing there swaying lightly. He was forcing his eyes open. "...Al?" Before he knew it, a bright light burst from behind him.
"AL!?" He had awoken a little bit more by this time, in attempt to remain conscious throughout it all. But before he knew it, he felt himself being pulled, forced into whatever it was behind him. Glancing around, an most unusual swirling colored entrance remained against the side of the wall, and before any more reactions could be made, Ed reached out his hand in an attempt to grab his brother, but all the matters, something told him this would make it worse.
~*~
Luckily, it seemed he had passed out through out this most dramatic experience, and the boy came too slowly. Still feeling that horrible sense of nausea and sickness. Ed regained himself, before slowly lifting himself forward. "...Ow." Wincing slightly as he watched the sight before him. He was sitting on concrete floor, and his ass hurt like hell! He noticed that people were giving him unusual glances. Where the hell was he!? Where was Al!?
~Anything Else;[/font] Ed has bad art sense in his alchemy.
