PERSONALITY OVERVIEW; 


Alphonse has a very sweet nature, willing to help anyone if they need it, if at
all possible. He is a very determined young man, and when he sets his mind to
do something there is no turning back, he will always finish what he has set
out to achieve, a desirable trait. Whilst Alphonse will usually back down in
most fights, usually through wishing to keep the peace, there are occasions
when even he has to draw the line and fight back. Even as he has grown older he
still has a weakness for stray animals, still wanting to help them. He is kind
and gentle to those around him, always greeting people with a friendly smile,
but even Al can become angered if someone pushes him too far, but it is a rare
occurrence.

Alphonse’s relationship with his brother is very close, and there is no one in
the world more important to him than Edward, he will do anything for him and
still worries about his safety more often than not. There are times when he
will still argue with his older brother, but that is what brothers do.

BASIC HISTORY;

Alphonse was born in a small town named
Resembool, where he lived with his older brother, Edward and his mother Trisha
Elric, Alphonse’s father left them when he was still very young and he has very
little memory of him. Alphonse and his brother learned alchemy from the books
that their father had left behind and became quite accomplished at it, showing
off their works to their mother who never failed to praise them. However their
mother fell ill and unfortunately died apparently of a sickness that she had
been dealing with for some time, but she had never told anyone. Pinako Rockbell
decided to look after the boys, treating them as if they were her own
grandchildren. During that time, the brothers concentrated on studying alchemy
in hopes of bringing their mother back to life and were able to train with a
skilled alchemist named Izumi Curtis. When they returned home from their
training, they proceeded to try the taboo art of Human transmutation but failed
costing Edward his left leg, and Alphonse his entire body. Edward performed a
second transmutation, sacrificing his own right arm to bind Alphonse's soul to
a nearby suit of armour.

It was a short while after this that Edward decided to have himself fitted with
auto-mail in order to travel to Central to meet with Mustang in order to become
a state alchemist, and return Alphonse to his body. Edward did indeed become a
state alchemist, and Alphonse and his brother started searching for the
legendary ‘Philosopher’s stone’ a stone that would allow an alchemist to bypass
all the laws of equivalent exchange, a stone that Edward and Alphonse intended
to use to get their bodies back to the way they had been before.

The brothers discovered that the Military was being secretly run by a 'man' simply known as Father who controlled the Homunculi who he referred to as his 'children'. Father intended to turn the entire country of Amestris into a philosophers stone using Edward, Alphonse, Izumi, Roy Mustang and Van Hohenheim as sacrifices in order to obtain the power of 'god'. Thanks to Hohenheim placing his own 'circle' around amestris, using parts of his philosophers stone fathers plan went awry and everyone's souls were returned to their bodies. Edward ended up fighting father and his automail arm was shattered and he became pinned to a piece of conrete with an bolt through his arm, Alphonse's armour body became mostly destroyed when he shielded Mei from an attack by father. Realising that Edward was in danger, Alphonse sacrificed himself with the help of Mei to restore Edward's original arm. Edward defeated father and then performed a transmutation where he sacrificed his ability to use alchemy to bring Alphonse back in his original human body. Sometime after the event both brothers decided to research into alchemy, Edward going one way and Alphonse travelling to Xing to learn more about Alkahestry.

RP EXAMPLE;



Silence,
just as always, the only sounds that could be heard were the familiar sounds
that the flat always made. The creaking of the floorboards, the light ticking
of the grandfather clock that stood in the living room and of course the faint
sounds of snoring that came from his brother’s room. It was always like this
first thing in the morning, silent besides those familiar sounds, and it was a
good kind of silence as far as the younger Elric was concerned. He had woken
somewhat earlier than normal, though the he wasn’t sure of the exact time, the only
thing he really knew was that there had been little to no light in his room
when he had first opened his eyes, and so he surmised that it was still somewhere
before dawn. It was becoming a routine of late, waking up early, though he
wasn’t exactly sure why he was doing it, well, stranger things happened, and as
far as strange things went, waking at the crack of dawn wasn’t really that
bad...still, it bothered him this morning, mostly because he was still tired.

There had been that moment in which Alphonse had tried to go back to sleep,
he’d shifted to his side, pulled the pillow over his head, kicked the sheets
off, which honestly only served to make him cold rather than make him sleepy
before he’d finally given up and dragged himself from his bed and slumped down
in Edward’s armchair in the living room instead. Alphonse raised a hand to his
mouth, stifling a yawn before his hand migrated to his hair, ruffling it in a
tired manner. Given the fact that his mind was not fully awake yet, it had
perhaps not been the best idea to drag a book off of the shelf before sitting down,
given that what he had decided to delve into was a physics book. It had taken
the younger Elric a good five minutes to realise that he was holding the book
upside down...of course he corrected that rather quickly and he’d been thankful
for the fact that Edward was still asleep and not around to note his stupidity.

Alphonse frowned as his mind began to wander, leaving the world of physics
behind to delve into something else, something that was bothering him a lot
lately…his own brother. Things hadn’t been right with him for a while, he
wasn’t exactly sure what was bothering him, but whatever is was, it was enough
to alter his moods rather drastically. Admittedly Edward had always been rather
grumpy in his teens, Alphonse could recall a number of times when he’d pouted
for days over something silly, but this wasn’t a childish act, it wasn’t
something that seemed to go away either. He’d tried to ask him if everything
was alright several times, one of those times he could recall a rather snappy
response, something that was unnerving for it wasn’t often that Edward reacted
in such a manner towards him. This change in his brother bothered him greatly,
perhaps more than he would openly admit, especially considering he hadn’t
gotten any further in figuring out why Edward was acting so angry. Sometimes, he
would act like his old self, seemingly happy and cheerful but those moments
were fleeting and it didn’t take Edward long to return to his seemingly
depressed state. Though Alphonse wouldn’t admit it openly…he had wondered if
perhaps....he was part of the problem, but that was stupid...wasn’t it? He
always brushed the thought aside but it always seemed to reappear...even when
he tried to ignore it.
