CHARACTER NAME: Alphonse Elric
AGE: 17
CANON Fullmetal Alchemist (Manga/brotherhood)
CANON POINT Post-series, as he leaves to go to Xing
HISTORY: Wiki link
PERSONALITY: Alphonse Elric is a sweet, caring and kind boy who is often presented as the calmer foil to his more hotheaded older brother Edward. He'll stop to help anyone or anything in need of it and is kind to all living things, including animals, to the point where Edward sometimes has to scold him for trying to keep stray kittens he finds on their journey. Though he and Ed find themselves in combat situations a lot, Al tries to cause minimal destruction and would rather show mercy to an opponent than kill or seriously harm them. Indeed, he dislikes unnecessary bloodshed overall and is disturbed when his country's military shows a tendency toward solving conflicts by force rather than negotiation or taking prisoners. Al generally has a slow fuse, is patient, and is hard to anger, and thus tends to find himself playing the role of peacemaker and keeping a level head when others are arguing and disagreeing around him. He tends to be polite to everyone he meets, as well, and is often the one to remind Ed to mind his manners and say thank you or show gratitude.

Al's most important relationship in life is with his older brother Edward. He understands and appreciates the sacrifices Ed made to keep him tied to their world and help Al recover his flesh and blood body. The two have been through a lot of hardship and love and trust one another completely. They are seldom seen apart, and though they have their squabbles sometimes, Al also jokes with and teases his brother. He often takes a caretaker role toward Ed, making sure his brother takes time to rest, sleep, eat, and take care of his injuries. When they were younger, Ed sometimes had to cajole or threaten Al into doing things for him, but as they get older, they treat each other with respect and give each others' feelings and opinions equal weight and consideration. The two of them tend to be on the same wavelength and have the same kinds of ideas and work very well together as a team, whether they're in battle, trying to solve a problem, or deciding what their next course of action will be. Al sometimes has to intervene when Ed's anger gets the better of him in order to stop bad situations from escalating further. Ed dying or leaving him is his worst fear, and when Gluttony swallows Ed, Al is paralyzed with grief and fear for quite a while before he is able to snap himself out of it and take action to try and get him out.

Al also cares deeply about the other people he sees as family- like his childhood friend Winry and her grandmother Pinako, as well as his teacher Izumi- and his friends in the military. Because his father left and his mother died at a young age, part of Al seeks the warmth and security of a family, and it bothers him when families don't get along. After several people he was attached to are hurt or killed before his eyes, Al gains a strong sense of wanting to protect and save his loved ones. He sees their deaths and his inability to stop them as a weakness he must overcome, and as time goes on, he becomes more and more involved in protecting others with his body and his alchemy skills. However, this attachment to people can still prove to be a weakness, such as when Wrath makes Winry a hostage against his and Ed's cooperation with the enemy's plans, as Al knows that harm coming to her because of him would devastate him. The events of the series were even kicked off by Al's strong attachment to his mother, as wanting to revive her after her death led to the doomed attempt at human transmutation that set him and Ed on their path.

Al is extremely intelligent and knows the importance of working hard, and yet he also understands the value of rest and play. He has been known to pause in his and Ed's studies in order to play with a young child or have a friendly chat with one of their comrades. Despite this, he and Ed still take opportunities to learn or study new things when they can. Al shows a particularly keen interest in alkahestry (a form of alchemy from the Eastern country of Xing), because it originated for medicinal purposes rather than military ones, as it did in his home country of Amestris. Because his teacher Izumi drilled into him the importance of keeping a healthy body as well as a healthy mind, he tries to keep his reaction times and weapons and martial arts skills sharp. He is big on being self-reliant as much as possible and makes sure to take the time to fix the damage he causes and give back to the people who have helped him when he can.

Overall, Al is a kind and gifted young man who will do what it takes to protect those around him.
CANON POWERS: Alphonse is a master at alchemy, the art of deconstructing and reconstructing matter into new forms using the movement of the earth's crust as energy to power these transmutations. Alchemy hinges on the principle of equivalent exchange- to obtain, something of equal value must be lost- and has other limitations. For example, he can't make something out of nothing, and deconstruction and reconstruction requires knowledge of chemistry and the composition of things. If something is made of water, he can only make things that share the properties of water. Otherwise, alchemy is a useful skill that allows him to craft barriers and weapons, disable opponents' weapons, and repair broken things.
OTHER: Al was separated from his flesh and blood body for an extended period of time, and when he returned to it, said body was atrophied and nearly starved. While he's had 2 years to recover, he sometimes tires easily and requires the aid of a cane or crutch to walk.
