Basic Info

Name:	Ed Elric

Bio

Edward Elric
NAME: Edward Elric
FANDOM: Fullmetal Alchemist
AGE: 16
GENDER: M
SEXUALITY: heterosexual, but almost zero interest in romance right now
APPEARANCE: Ed has long blonde hair that he braids to keep out of the way, and long bangs that part in the center and frame his face. He has sharp, piercing gold-colored eyes that glimmer with intelligence. Smirks, scowls, thoughtful frowns, or mischievous grins are the expressions seen most frequently on his young face. Typically he’s dressed in a pair of black pants, a black tank under a black jacket, large black boots, white gloves, and an almost overly large red cloak with a hood and the flamel symbol on the back in black. Hidden beneath the layers are two prosthetic (automail) limbs; his right arm and his left leg. His body is cut and toned from years of training and experience in hand-to-hand combat ~~which is surprising for his otherwise petite build~~.

PERSONALITY: In Ed’s case, the first impressions he makes tend to be greatly in his disfavor. He’s extremely hot-headed and temperamental, and any insult to his height is met with loud yelling and, more often than not, violence. He tends to speak bluntly to people, and oftentimes too bluntly. He often comes off as aloof and brash, a stubborn, headstrong, impatient, arrogant brat with a harsh tongue, a serious potty mouth, and an impetuous nature. This side of Ed is often what people first see. And while this is all very true, after spending more time with him (and completely avoiding any and all mention of his height), they would see much more than that.

Beneath the tough exterior that he’d built up since losing his mother, Ed can be very kind and giving. He will often help people in need, usually through indirect means or otherwise doing his best to make it as not obvious as possible. He’s loving and compassionate toward the people he’s closest to (especially his little brother Alphonse) and will go to any lengths to protect them. He’s very passionate about what he believes in and will not hesitate to stand up for those beliefs. While he has come very close to killing once or twice for such reasons, he was never able to go through with it (he values human life far too much to do that).

In a sense, despite his exposure to the world’s harshest realities, he can be very naïve. Ed believes that the whole world follows the rule of Equivalent Exchange, that to gain means to sacrifice and sacrifices merit rewards. He practically lives by this rule; when receiving something from someone he will insist on paying that person back one way or another, but sometimes forgets to expect the same from them (unless he doesn’t like them, in which case, pay up, bitch!).

He has often been regarded as something of a genius, a true prodigy in the field of alchemy. Naturally he wouldn’t force this label on himself (coughcough), feeling he achieved this “talent” through hard work and lots of studying (though the fact that he has a great inclination towards studying certainly helps). He works hard toward his goals and is easily completely absorbed by his work or research, oftentimes to the point of excluding any other sort of activity and forgetting to do mundane things, basic necessities like eating or sleeping. He has an astounding ability to focus. Edward truly is very smart for his age and while it’s understandable for him to be proud of his abilities, sometimes his ego gets a little out of hand.

Ed also has some major guilt issues. When something he is involved in has gone wrong or otherwise not according to plan, chances are he’s going to blame himself no matter what and will not rest until he’s found a to set things right. He’s made a lot of mistakes in his past, all of which he works very hard to make up for, and because of this he tries to make sure that no one else will make similar ones if he can help it. Ed takes on some heavy burdens for someone so young, and does so (for the most part) in stride. As the inscription in his pocket watch reminds him, he believes that there is no choice but to move forward, learning from the past and working to rise from its charred remains.
