Overall Pic: ![]() like that but with all the clothing i just said Pet Breed: none Pet gender:none Pet name:none Personality: Kind, likable, Funny, Reacts badly to his friends being put in danger. He has a short fuse about his eyes when someone asks about them. He is forgiving when there is reason to forgive but refuses if what is asked to forgive is too high. Has a charisma that tends to get people on his side. Likes: (Optional) Dislikes: (Optional) Skills: Excellent swordsman. Has the ability to turn water of any form into a sword by transmuting it. Can transmute his swords into any other weapon that is of equal or lesser mass. Is a weapon master. Weapons: His alchemic swords and his ability to adapt his weaponry to fit the situation. Transportation: Foot/car/ anything thing he can get his hands on Family: None. His father was killed trying to stop Scar from killing one of the State Alchemists when he was eight. His mother died in child birth of his little brother when he was seven. His little brother didn't survive the child birth. He has no older siblings. History: Selonianth was born in a small home in a village just south of Risembol. His father joined the state and was assigned to protect one of the higher ranking alchemists from Scar. During a fight attempting to drive Scar into the waiting hands of some other Alchemists who were ready to arrest him. Scar slapped the floor with his alchemic arm and the resulting fissure killed Selonianth's father. That was the day Selonianth began his training to become an alchemist. While Selonianth was training with his mentor ,who was currently teaching him about how human transmutation is forbidden and why, a couple of rouge alchemists attacked. The alchemists quickly took out the person they thought was a threat (AKA Selonianths mentor). However in his blind rage Selonianth ran around them inscibing alchemic circles on trees then he stopped knelt and pressed his hand to a line that connected all of the tree's. He formed cannons from the explosive elements in the tree's and tore the rouge's apart. At this point however he didn't know how to perform his own alchemy fast enough for it to matter. He was traveling in search of inspiration for his alchemy when he saw an alchemist who had a small block of iron or steel that had a circle inscribed into one of the sides. He noticed that it was designed to create a weapon of some sort. He watched as when the alchemist was confronted by some bandits he transmuted it into a small blade to fight them off. Selonianth liked the style and knew with a few adaptations the alchemy would work for him and drove off the remaining bandits. He then approached the alchemist and asked him to teach him weapon alchemy. The man agreed after some persuasion and took him home. He first taught him some weapon styles and hand to hand combat styles. It took him several months before the man begin teaching him the weaknesses of weapon alchemy. It was after he "graduated" from the mans tutelage that he found a way to make his alchemy fast and versitile. He had an alchemic circle sewn into two gloves of no particular ability (in other words no sparks like ignition gloves). One day he was messing around and while pushing his energy into his gloves to create the alchemic energy he slapped his hand into a pond of water and it sparked. Intrigued he pushed his hand into it and drew it back up focusing his weapon alchemy on a small knife and rearranging the molecules into an icy configuration. As he pulled up the water turned to ice and formed a small knife. He then experimented and found that most things that in solid form were sturdy could be transmuted into a weapon. He could also turn the weapons into various weapons as long as they were of equal or lesser mass.... unless he had more of the material available. |

I suggest that you repost the picture. Looks like the link is missing or doesn't exists. Also the history thing. |

Can you explain to me a little bit more on the Skills part? "Skills: Excellent swordsman. Has the ability to turn anything into a sword by transmuting it. *Can transmute his body shirt into lightweight completely bulletproof body armor. Can transmute his swords into any other weapon." *Impossible with just cloth material. |

Okay.....holy cheese-stick.....Where to start.... 1. Take out the shirt thing, makes no sence whatsoever. cloth isnt bullet prove, at least i dont think so.....YUP, ITS NOT. 2. The whole make a sword out of anything, take it out. While you can, a sword made of water or something of the sort is not suitable. Alchemy requires you take what you have and take stuff away, or rearrange the materials, so there is no way you can make a sword out of ANYTHING...at least not effectively 3. I don't want to hear the whole hes a great swordsman with nothing to back it up, tell me where he trained, who trained him, how long, and how. We have too many "Great swordsman" to let that slip on by. 4.Turn his swords into any weapon. Think about that. You cant make a warhammer or something from a sword, unless you make the inside hollow or something....which is dumb. EQUAL EXCHANGE PEOPLE. Change it to "Smaller weapons or weapons of the same size." 5. That history, sorry to say, sucks. You cover his father's death and one day with his mentor when he attacks rouges that come out of nowhere. Build more background on the character himself, friends, childhood, major events (surely thers more than his dad dieing) talk about the emotional distress of growing up without a mom, SOMETHING. |

he's right and always remember the law of conservation of alchemy..... "The result of transmutation is only equal to the item used in transmutation" I thinks its not the real sentence but you all know what that means that in transmutation, you must use the equal needs to create it or like that or something... well at least someone understands |

In response to Fayt 1. Ok I'll get rid of it.... 2. He could turn the water into incredibly dense Ice therefore creating a weapon that would work for a little bit at least. 3. Yea I guess i can understand that part.... 4. How about just from a longbow to a sword and back? 5. Yea I was waiting for some input on the current app. before I tried to create a longer history. |

Pardon my intrusion, but you would require training that I'm not sure your character would have had in order to completely rearrange the molocules in water, add a certain amount of coldness to it, and freeze it into a weapon like a sword. To do that, I would think you would need a long ass time to train, just to get it done once. While the base materials are the same, it's the idea of freezing it and compacting the molocules to a certain point. (If you pay attention in science/biology etc. you would know what i'm talking about, water molocules are not compact while when it freezes they are extremely compacted). Also, turning a sword to a bow is insane in my eyes. Bows are made of wood and a certain type of "string" used as well. A sword is generally metal, with a wooden, metal, or metal with a cloth or leather around it. So I couldn't see that happening. I may be wrong on the first part I said though. |

Nowadays bows are made out of lightweight metal that is maleable to be bent yet springs back to his former shape after the pressure is released. And I'm in Chemistry right now so I have an idea of what you are talking about. He has the training but I changed it to the equal or lesser mass thing. In theory it would just require drawing energy from the water to turn it into ice and then some training to rearrange it enough to create a sword. In my mind Ed seemed to stretch and make things bigger in his alchemy but then again he's seen the gate sooo..... |

Uh bro, FMA is not in 2000-2008, in their world it is 1920 our time at the end of the series and movie..... You are talking about shit made within the past 20 years, this is stuff from the 1900's when good guns weren't really made til WWII. How did Ed stretch it out? He changed his automail into a weapon and when he would change the base material, he just took out certain base materials to create something else. That's my theory atleast. And what do you mean drawing energy from water? Alchemy is a form of science, not some dragonball z shit. |

The only way to turn Water into ice without it turning back into water is to pull energy out of it i'm not talking DBZ crap. I'm talking actually science. The body shirt point is moot anyway I got rid of it... |

He does have a point here, in order to cool something you need to take energy away from it and to heat it you need to add energy. For example heating a substance adds energy to it making its atoms move faster and faster until its either in liquid state or gas state but at the same time you can't just take away energy from it, you need to explain how you do it for example to create energy to melt a substance you say you heat up the ground take my character Alex Wolf for example. He can shift metals around from the earth by heating them up he can also move the metals he creates like a pillar of metal by heating up certain points creating a draft and the wind actually moves the pillars. now you will however have to explain how he takes away energy because the energy still has to go somewhere, Alex uses his own energy or even the energy around him (heat) to create the metal |

And another thing. from your description he has three circles, the one on his back, and the two on his gloves. now, in order to turn any substance into a sword, youd need a cirlce for every substance. not one circle can make anything into a sword, all the alchemy works different depending on the material. So.....ya..... |

*mutters something about incredibly picky people* The one on his back doesn't do anything anyway.... I'll find a way to edit it so it makes sense..... hold on.... what about scar? he only has one array and yet can destroy ANY materials |

Well you have to be extremely careful about your source of energy if you ARE the source of energy then when you take the energy away from the object you gain the energy increasing your body temperature and possibly killing you, same goes for giving your energy but you more then likely will get hypothermia, so thats why Alchemists tend to use other sources for example heat in the air. EDIT: As for Scar's circle it technically its a Destruction Array for if you see he manipulates it to destroy it, Alchemy comes in process, What you start with Destroying Re-arraging End Result So Scar's array stops at Destroying and doesn't go into Re-arraging to get a final result |

You know, I'm trying to help, but if you want to call me picky, what ever. The reason I have so much stuff to say is because to be honest, your profile didn't make much sence. Now if you have anyone to blame that this is taking a while to do, blame yourself. Alchemy is a science and if you don't understand it don't point the finger at me or anyone else for that matter when you get it wrong and we correct you. |

Ya, sorry. I'm kinda slow today and short tempured as well, sorry if I chewed you out. Just adjust the use of circles. Forget about the energy, that's common knowledge people can assume that part. |
