THE ROLES


THE STORY

Edward and Alphonse Elric are two alchemist brothers searching for the legendary catalyst called the Philosopher's Stone, a powerful object which would allow them to recover their bodies (which were lost in an attempt to bring their mother back to life through alchemy). Born in the village of Resembool from the country of Amestris, the two brothers lived there with their mother Trisha Elric. Their father, Van Hohenheim, left home for unknown reasons and years later, Trisha died of a terminal illness, leaving the Elric brothers alone. After their mother's death, Edward became determined to bring her back through the use of alchemy, an advanced science in which objects can be created from raw materials. They researched Human Transmutation, a forbidden art in which one attempts to create or modify a human being. However, this attempt failed, ultimately resulting in the loss of Edward's left leg, and Alphonse's entire body.

In a desperate effort to save his brother, Edward sacrificed his right arm to affix Alphonse's soul to a suit of armor. Some days later, an alchemist named Roy Mustang visited the Elric brothers, and proposed that Edward become a member of the State Military of Amestris in exchange for more research materials to find a way to recover their bodies. After that, Edward's left leg and right arm were replaced with automail, a type of advanced prosthetic limb, built for him by his close family friends Winry Rockbell and her grandmother Pinako.

Edward then became a State Alchemist, an alchemist employed by the State Military of Amestris, which infamously annihilated most of the Ishbalan race (of Ishbal) in the past decade. Becoming a State Alchemist enables Edward to use the extensive resources available to other State Alchemists. The brothers set off in search of the Philosopher's Stone as a means to restore their bodies. Throughout their journey, they meet allies and enemies, including those who are willing to do anything to obtain the Philosopher's Stone; Scar, one of the few surviving Ishbalans, who seeks vengeance on the State Alchemists for the destruction of his race; and the homunculi, a group of human-like creatures who carry pieces of the Philosopher's Stone inside themselves, and from it derive the ability to survive almost any harm.

As the story progresses, Edward and Alphonse discover the vast expansion of Amestris was the result of the homunculi, who created and secretly control the State Military. The homunculi and much of the high-ranking military officers are commanded from behind the curtains by the creator of the homunculi, a man simply known as "Father", who gained immortality through a Philosopher's Stone, which he created by tricking Hohenheim centuries before the series' timeline. He plans to use Amestris as a gigantic transmutation circle in order to transmute the entire country for reasons unknown to the Elrics.

Oh, methinks you know White Knight a little. You killed one of him Night 1 in the last Ratskep game, old friend. Keep an eye on this kitty, he plays with his food at night. :wave:

I'll only be able to post in 2-3 hour windows of opportunity the next 3 days for as long as Mz lets me live.

Oh gracious Mzkitty, here's a rat treat to assuage your inclinations:

I'm trying to get a grip on the flavour, as I don't know it.

Here's a pretty extensive character list:

Should be fun, though I guess I don't know as much about FMA as I thought. My impression from the 4-5 episodes I watched was that the homunculi were the bad guys...

According to wikipedia one of the protagonists is a state alchemist, so I'm guessing you're right, but I haven't seen the show.

I have played only one untimed game before. It is very different than timed. Slow to move most of the game but when it gets going sometimes it just ends quickly.

The untimed game requires the players to come to a sort of consensus.

Be careful of placing the lynch-1 vote as this could allow a scum swoop.

We need 6 votes on one player to end the first day.

Take your time and settle in.

Thanks for the ping Jerome.

Kael! Demi! Mega! Great to play with you again!

Flavour looks cool, I'll have to check it out when I'm finished with The Walking Dead.

First things first, do we need a Mayor?
