In a sense, Roy could be considered power-hungry, aiming for the highest position of Fuhrer. Outwardly, Roy appears to be a power-hungry, lazy, manipulative skirt-chaser. At only thirty years of age, his rise to the rank of Colonel has been swift and is, in part, due to his ‘success’ in the Ishval Conflict. Roy Mustang is a State Alchemist, also known as the Flame Alchemist due to his ability to manipulate the concentration of oxygen in the air, subsequently creating flames with a snap of his Pyrotex gloves. If I step off of the path, shoot and kill me with those hands. Do you understand? To entrust my back to you means that you can shoot me from behind anytime. RoyAi ( Roy Mustang + Riza Hawk eye = RoyEye = RoyAi which is a pun on the Japanese word ‘Ai’ 「 愛」 which translates to ‘love’) for me is the most exciting pairing in the series just because I’m all for subtle undertones and meaningful moments that tend to get overlooked, and this couple encompasses that more than any other. In the storyline, the most significant war is that between Amestrians and Ishvalans and has had the greatest influence on most, if not all, of the central characters. Alchemists may be hired by the military, becoming State Alchemists who are meant to ‘be thou for the people’.Īmestris, however, has constantly been at war and the State Alchemists, who have instead become known as ‘the attack dogs of the military’, are often called to arms to quickly end a conflict. A key difference between our world and the FMA universe, however, is the existence of alchemy which allows deconstruction, reconstruction or transformation of one object into another as long it abides by the principle of ‘equivalent exchange’ which basically means that in order to gain something, something of equal value must be lost. Set in the fictional military state, Amestris, Fullmetal Alchemist is based loosely on twentieth century Europe. I have the physical copy of the first part here now. Sorry, I had to split it into two even though it's within the word limit. Also, this manifesto is based only on the manga since there’s already a ship manifesto written for this pairing regarding the anime here by ninkasa Notes: Any quotes I refer to are from scanslation groups so if there are any discrepancies, it’s probably because we’re using different versions (although I sometimes took some liberty in the syntax to make it flow better). No profit is being made, so please don’t sue! Disclaimer: Fullmetal Alchemist belongs to Hiromu Arakawa, Shounen GanGan, Square-Enix and BONES Animation (even though I’m not referring to the anime, I figured better safe than sorry).
