*Edward Elric

the "Fullmetal Alchemist", is the youngest State Alchemist in history and the main character of the series. He and his younger brother, Alphonse Elric, scour the world in search of the Philosopher's Stone in the hopes of restoring their bodies.

[Is always with brother, has to fend off all the homunculi. Hates Roy in that FMA way. Likes Winry.]

*Alphonse Elric

the younger brother of Edward Elric, did not become a State Alchemist at the request of his brother. Together he and Ed scour the world in search of the Philosopher's Stone in the hopes of restoring their bodies.

[Is always with brother, has to help fend off all the homunculi. An empty body. If he gets cut he just has to blow air inside himself and he is good to go.]

Roy Mustang

the "Flame Alchemist", is a high-ranking member of the State Military. He has hopes of becoming the leader of Amestris, and uses his many subordinates to further him along this path.

[Has to fend off all the homunculi, has control of certain student's. Hates Ed in that FMA way. Likes Riza Hawkeye. Annoyed easily.]

*Winry Rockbell

is a childhood friend of Edward and Alphonse Elric, and auto-mail machanic living in their hometown, Risembool.

*Lust
the "Ultimate Spear", is the first homunculus to be introduced in the series. She is a big-busted woman, who primarily works in the shadows, acting as an envoy for her leader in both mediums and encouraging alchemists down her desired path. She is able to extend her fingers to great lengths and can use them to cut through any substance. In the manga, after leading an effort to capture Barry the Chopper, her plans backfire when Roy Mustang infiltrates into the homunculi's secret lair. Though she is able to severely wound him, he sears his wounds shut and kills her by repeatedly setting her on fire, ultimately depleting her Philosopher's Stone.



*Gluttony
is one of the first homunculi to appear in the series, typically being in the company of Lust. He is a large, simple-minded homunculus whose thoughts rarely stray far from eating. He has powerful jaws, acidic saliva, and can and will eat almost anything. He particularly likes eating people, and the only way he can find enjoyment in a battle is if he can eat his opponent afterwards.

*Envy
is one of the first homunculi to appear in the series. He is able to assume any appearance he wishes, be it an animal or another person. He prefers the form of an "adorable" androgynous boy. Because of his ability, Envy is usually used as a spy by the other homunculi, sending him to steal someone's identity so that he can infiltrate an organization. This leads to him being assigned to kill Maes Hughes; before completing the job he assumes the form of Hughes' wife and Maria Ross, the latter identity allowing Envy to frame her for his death in the manga. Also in the manga, Envy assumes the form of a disgruntled soldier of the State Military and shoots an Ishvalan child, sparking the resulting civil war. He is very proud of this achievement, as he enjoys violence between humans.

*Greed

the "Ultimate Shield", craves money, women, and other worldly possessions above all else. Because of this he betrays the homunculi in both the anime and the manga, as working for them would deprive him of his greedy desires, though he does show some loyalty for his subordinates. He is able to rearrange the carbon molecules in his body to create a shield that coats his body and is as hard as diamond. Greed is introduced when he sends some of his chimera subordinates to capture Alphonse Elric. The State Military soon raids their location to rescue Al, and Greed's fate from that point further differs between adaptions.
In the manga, Greed is repeatedly killed by Wrath, tiring him out and allowing him to be taken back to Father. Unwilling to rejoin them, Greed is melted down and Father consumes his Philosopher's Stone. Later, Lin Yao offers to become a new Greed in his search for immortality. Greed is given complete control of Lin's body, though Lin constantly fights him to regain control. Though this Greed initially has no recollections of his actions as the former Greed, his killing of Bido brings back memories of all his loyal subordinates. Angry with Wrath for killing his "possessions" and further provoked by Lin, the new Greed defects from the homunculi, eventually letting Edward Elric join him.

*Sloth
differs greatly between the anime and the manga. In the manga Sloth is not introduced until midway through the series, where he is revealed to be a large, muscular, dim-witted man. He is tasked with digging a gigantic transmutation circle beneath Amestris to be used in turning the country into a Philosopher's Stone. Though he is briefly impeded in this job when he runs into the Elric brothers at Briggs' Fortress, he is allowed to continue his work, finishing the circle in chapter seventy-eight. Just as his name, Sloth is always wanting to rest and finish his job so he can stop working. When Greed is captured by Wrath, he asks about Sloth and Lust answers saying he is still working, meaning he was already making the tunnel before Greed left the group one hundred years before.

*Wrath
differs greatly between the anime and the manga. In the manga, Wrath is the true identity of King Bradley, the "Ultimate Eye". His eye, usually covered by an eyepatch, gives him the foresight to see all possible outcomes of a given situation, allowing him to predict the moves of any opponent before they happen. His favored mode of attack is with his sword, which he wields with great proficiency. Before becoming a homunculus Bradley was trained with a group of others to become the leader of the country. Once they were old enough, a Philosopher's Stone was inserted into their blood system, a process only Bradley was able to survive. Having once been a human, Wrath ages with time, a trait that irritates him since his body can't keep up with his eye's predictions. Because homunculi cannot reproduce he was given a family to keep up appearances: his "son", Pride, and a wife he chose himself.

*Pride

[/s]
differs greatly between the anime and the manga. In the manga, Pride is the true identity of Selim Bradley, the son of King Bradley (Wrath), something discovered in the latter half of the series by Riza Hawkeye. He is very dedicated to the homunculi's cause, and doesn't allow anyone to get in its way; he promises to kill Riza if she tells anyone else that Selim is a homunculus. He was created in Father's original image, and thus his shadow is a dark blob with many eyes. He can destroy or manipulate anything that this shadow comes into contact with. Pride and his shadow can only exist within a given area: Central City and the underground transmutation circle running throughout Amestris. He overcomes this shortcoming later in the series by taking control of Alphonse Elric's armor body, allowing him to freely move around the country. He also demonstrates the ability to take on the traits of people his shadow absorbs; when he does so with Gluttony, for example, he gains the latter's appetite and enhanced sense of smell. It is shown that his strength/weakness resides in light because of the lack of it, he cannot project his shadows and thus rendering him useless, and when a great light like a flash is projected over his shadow, this dissapears by a short limit of time. He absorbed gluttony hence gaining his powers.
In the anime, Pride is the true identity of King Bradley, the "Ultimate Eye". His eye, usually covered by an eyepatch, allows him to see everything, even the air in a room . His favored mode of attack is with his sword, which he wields with great proficiency. Because he ages like a regular human, Dante considers him her greatest creation, a title he is very proud of. Because homunculi cannot reproduce he was given a family to keep up appearances: his son, Selim Bradley, and a wife. When Roy Mustang discovers what Bradley is, Pride gives Selim the skull of his original body to be kept safe. When Selim unknowingly brings the skull back to him during his battle with Mustang, he is severely weakened by its presence. Out of anger he kills Selim, but this weakened state allows Mustang to kill him by repeatedly setting him on fire.[8]


*Alex Louis Armstrong
the "Strong Arm Alchemist", is a large and comically emotional State Alchemist. He will burst into tears or joyous praise given the right situation, and embraces others in an effort to console them. Because he is an extremely strong character, this usually causes others great personal injury. Armstrong is very proud of his strength and of his muscular physique, frequently taking off his shirt so that he can flex for others' benefit. As a final element of his comedic properties, he has the tendency to "sparkle"; when first appearing in a scene or taking off his shirt, pink stars radiate from his body. Despite his humorous tendencies, Armstrong can be very serious when the situation calls for it. He is not fond of violence and will try to end conflicts peacefully, and will break down and cry if an innocent person is killed.
Armstrong comes from a wealthy family of aristocrats who have earned renown in most professions. He has mastered many of his family's talents for himself, and when displaying such a talent he remarks it to have been "passed down the Armstrong line for generations". His alchemical skills are also a remnant of his family's history; by using a unique kind of brass knuckles, Armstrong can reshape any solid object that he punches. In addition to projectiles and barriers for combat purposes, he can use this talent to create buildings and at times sculptures of himself. Armstrong is a valuable ally of Roy Mustang and the Elric brothers, even if they are not always happy to be in his emotional company. He takes his honor as a soldier and as a leader seriously, and always looks out for his peers' and subordinates' best interests.

[Loves himself a little to much. Really strong.]

*Izumi Curtis
is the teacher of Ed and Alphonse Elric. She distrusts the military and refuses to become a State Alchemist, though her talents catch the military's attention as the series progresses. She cares about her apprentices very fiercley, although on the outside she is sometimes reluctant to show it, as she beats them up quite frequently. Her husband is Sig Curtis.

[Enjoys beating the Elric Brothers, and sending them to detention.]

*Hohenheim
is the father of Ed and Alphonse Elric with a keen knowledge of alchemical processes. In the anime, Hohenheim has used the power of a Philosopher's Stone for hundreds of years to switch from body to body, prolonging his life. In the manga he is a Philosopher's Stone, and thus cannot die.

[The Elric's father. Likes teaching, though his boys hate him. Can't understand why Izumi Curtis is so hard on them.]

*Jean Havoc

is one of Roy Mustang's most trusted subordinates. He is usually seen smoking a cigarette. He was recruited by Mustang for his loyalty and general sincerity, as well as his above average shooting skills. Because working for Mustang requires moving frequently and a complete dedication of time, Havoc has very little free time and cannot maintain a relationship with a woman for very long. Havoc does not play a large role in the anime, only being another of Mustang's subordinates. In the manga he unknowingly dates the big-busted homunculus, Lust, who tries to extract information about Mustang from him. She is unsuccessful, and eventually reveals her true identity to him. In the course of the attempt to kill her, Havoc is severely injured and Mustang is forced to use fire to seal the wounds. Though this saves Havoc's life, the lower half of his body is completely paralyzed. Feeling that he can no longer be of use to Mustang, he tries to leave the military, but is instead encouraged to find another way to help Mustang's cause.

[Attached to Roy, will do anything he says.]

*Riza Hawkeye

is Roy Mustang's most trusted subordinate. She carries out many of the tasks he is too lazy to do, acts as his personal assistant, and protects him from danger. She also doubles as his voice of reason, keeping cool in heated situations and scolding him when he allows his emotions to get in the way. Riza and Roy seem to share a close relationship in both adaptions of Fullmetal Alchemist; in the anime she identifies him as her most precious person, whereas in the manga she loses her resolve to live when believing he has been killed. Riza specializes in firearms, particularly sniper rifles, and can hit nearly any target with lethal accuracy. She adopts a dog, called Black Hayate, in both the anime and the manga, which she raises with stern discipline; when Hayate goes to the bathroom inside, she shoots at the wall behind him to reinforce that doing so is bad. Another scene from the anime shows Riza making the dog sit, shake both paws, and lay before being allowed to eat.[/blockquote]
