ooc information PLAYER: Caprica CONTACT: PM @ chrysology or Plurk @ caprican. ETC: I'm a Kiwi so have an odd timezone that usually just means I only get to like one tag back in the evenings with working full time/schedule and timezone being so different to most everyone else. That is, I'm in GMT + 12. So that's why if I do get to boomerang it is prob over the weekend unless I have time off of work. Otherwise, I am just back after hiatus (I knew April would be busy as heck with work and first aid refresher etc.) so that is why I was not so much around for the second part of the last mission and mostly did back tags really. ic information CHARACTER: Edward Elric CANON: Fullmetal Alchemist CANON POINT: After passing out from his fight in the mines. INFO:
Edward is an older brother (fifteen years old, Al is fourteen) from 1910s Amestris (basically like their version of Eurpoe sort of deal). Ed is a prodigy in the field of alchemy. Which is to say, he can analyse something, break it down and reconstruct it to something else, as long as it still is within the limits (using the same base materials, law of conservation of mass). He has a temper and always will even if he mellows more as the series goes on some. He's joined in with his military working as a State Alchemist so that he can have access to their restricted documents and research to help his brother (Al lost his body in their attempt to bring back their mother after she got sick and passed away, with Ed binding Al's soul to a suit of armour in the meantime).
He is pretty much that typical bratty smart kid, the jerk with a heart of gold trope underneath his bluster and temper. He's generally more explosive and tries to be more realistic against Al's more optimistic idealism, grounding each other in that sense. Ed just hides his softer side more. Unless Winry is involved. In which case he is the Most Obvious about his feelings that everyone knows and she is used against him as a hostage.
He along the way in figuring a way to help Al, has kinda stumbled into a Plot from the higher ups and their plans for Amestris and what the military has really been up to, and is forbidden to actually talk about it so. That's also a whole thing where he is :l unsure on saying anything much there to others at the Station in fear if any of the homunculi or such show up and kill them for Ed opening up. He's at this point, figured out most of the plot and such and is just. Prevented in being stuck here from getting home to do something about it all. Essentially. In finishing things yet.
REGRET: Basically, regrets what happened to Al when they tried to bring back Trisha. That Al lost his body. So. P much the same as his motivations and regrets back home. Yup. He is the Determinator and he gonna keep his promise to fix things, dammit! Al is the priority. He doesn't so much care about his auto-mail since he gets by with it, but Al needs to eat and sleep and feel again!!
CR WISHLIST:
Friends? Mentor types? People he can get on the wrong side of because he is such a brat? People to get all up in his space about his auto-mail/are able to help with it in general? More of that couldn't hurt without his trusty mechanic here. People to keep an eye on him without Al here as 99% of his impulse control? And with being one of the younger crew members. People to teach him about technology/more modern stuff because 1910s has some basics but not to this sort of level of technology/advancement in general. Sparring partners?
RECAP:
Ed has been here from the very start. So he's been involved in every single mission. He's gradually more accepting that magic is a thing (though still more assumes that it is some form of science he just hasn't figured out yet so much). He still misses Al and Winry a lot - esp Al because they are inseparable back home but also Winry because he doesn't have her here to fix his arm and leg. Not that he. Actually wants her anywhere near this nonsense.
Generally, he's vaguely starting to question how this works, wondering what the catch is for those left dealing with the aftermath of them taking the orbs. Because if it means they are suffering/dying as a result. Well. Ed's not okay with that and knows Al would want to find another way to fix things to get his body back. He's for now still going along with it and helping where he can, at least in supporting locals/fellow orbers so they aren't killed during the missions and such.
He is still sticking to his No Killing thing even with being involved in fighting. He never aims to kill and that has made missions harder on him. Ed is one of the younger among the crew too. He's cool with using his alchemy to make or fix stuff for people if they need/ask. He's joined up with the player project to make protective amulets for the crew when they figure the materials for him to work with too.
