Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return.
To obtain, something of equal value must be lost.
That is Alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange.
In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.

Yes! The time has come for me to do this. I've wanted to do this since we started SRB, but I've been slow in putting it together. :LOL:

Anywho! I'll save the mindless chatter and just get started with the information!

[Characters]

I encourage you all to play whatever character you want. Canons, Original Characters and Port Characters are all welcomed. Also: Choose characters from the anime or manga; it doesn't make a lot of difference.

[Alchemy]

There's three ways Alchemy can be used by characters. Either by drawing a transmutation circle, having a item with a circle already on it, or by being able to preform alchemy without a circle just by clapping your hands.

Circle Method: You just have to draw it; and do whatever alchemy you want.

Item Method: Items can only have one circle on them, and that circle can only have one basic function... however, take Roy's gloves as an example... they make fire when he snaps his fingers; but the amount of fire, the shape and the intensity is determined by Roy. So even though the gloves are limited to making fire, they can do everything from sparks to fireballs to raging infernos.

No Circle Method: To do this, you must have seen the Gate of Truth. To see the Gate of Truth, you have to try Human Alchemy. If you try Human Alchemy, you'll lose a body part or organ of some sort to the Gate. In other words: If you want to be able to do this, you'll have to be missing a arm, leg, eye, lung, whatever. Automail is perfectly welcomed. ^^ But let's not go crazy on this, ok?

Anyway... I don't want to get real technical, so I'll just go over the basics.

To create something from alchemy, you have to sacrifice a equal something. In other words, you can't make something out of thin air. But if you want a sword, you CAN make one out of the ground. :p So no sweat.

Oh, if you're just using regular alchemy, it'll be yellow. If you can preform alchemy without a circle, it'll be blue. If you use human alchemy, it's purple (and you'll lose a body part). If you have a Philosopher's Stone, it'll be red.

... but unless you're Scar, you won't have one at the start of the RP, so don't sweat the small stuff.

If you DO want the details and technical explanations and stuff: WIKI

Anyway.... if you're porting a character with some kind of magic powers, just change that magic to alchemy. If you can't figure out how to do that on your own, I'm happy to help you. ^_^

No, you don't have to use alchemy. There's regular people too!

[Affiliation]

This basically just means what group(s) do your character belong to? The State Military? Ishbal? Civilian? Homunculus? Any of those are okay! ^^ This is just so we know who-works-with-and-for-who.

Yes, you can be affiliated with more than one. :p

[Story?]

The storyline shall be revealed within the first post. ^^ However, I will say that the Seven Homunculus are probably dead. This is so you can create your own Homunculus. However, if some don't get created, then the original one will still be alive.

[Character Types]

There's four types of characters:

Normal: An ordinary person.

Alchemist: An ordinary person who studies and preforms alchemy.

Chimera: An ordinary person who has been genetically imbuned with an animal of some sort and has increased physical and mental abilities, depending on what animal(s). (Chimeras can also be made from various animals that have no human in them, but they are less intelligent, do not speak, ect...)

Homunculus: Homunculi are artificial humans created either when an Alchemist attempts a human transmutation or when a human being is injected with a liquefied Philosopher's Stone.
A Homunculus made through Human Transmutation will never age and, as long as it eats Red Stones, will continuously revive itself if killed.
A homunculus made by the Liquid Stone method will age, but it cannot die and will revive itself whenever killed.
Every homunculus is named after one of the Seven Deadly Sins ' Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Envy, Wrath, Pride and Sloth ' and displays some characteristic of this sin, either personality wise of appearance wise (usually both).








I think that's enough explanations...

IF YOU ARE SIGNING UP AS A HOMUNCULUS!
If you plan on making a OC or PC Homunculus, be my guest, but please... to be fair to everyone, there is a limit of 1 Homunculus per person *TO START OFF WITH*.

If you want one of the 7 seen in the show, that's okay too. :3

Since there can only be at most 7 named Homunculi at any given time, this limit is to insure everyone who wants one can have one. However: You CAN have another homunculus if you want, but not one of the named-for-a-sin kind.

If you play the first video game, there is another homunculus! That means you can have another, but they don't have the Tattoo or the name of a Sin. ^^

The one exception is Fuhrer Bradley. You may not use him. You can make a 'Pride' or 'Wrath' if you like, but it can't be Bradley. You'll see why when we get started. :p

I think that's about all. ^_^

Oh...

There are two characters who I want. :p It's for storyline reasons.

Name: Riza Hawkeye
Gender: Female
Class: Normal
Affiliation: State
Rank: First Lieutenant
Additional Information: Her father was considered the world's foremost expert on Elemental Alchemy. After his death, she joined the military to stay close to his pupil -- Roy Mustang. She is fiercely loyal to him, even if she is sometimes annoyed by his 'habits'. She's an expert shot with any kind of gun and she has a broken transmutation circle tattooed to her back.
Picture/Appearance:

Name: Roy Mustang
Gender: Male
Class: Alchemist
Affiliation: State
Rank: Colonel
Title: The Flame Alchemist
Additional Information: The smug, obnoxious, skirt-chasing, pyromaniac Colonel who is in charge of East City. He secretly hopes to become Fuhrer and take control of the State so he can end the corruption and make the world a better place... and so he can order all female recruits to wear mini-skirts. In all reality, Roy is fiercely loyal to those around him and despite his flaws he is a natural leader.

I'll be signing up as some OC's or PC's later, as well as the main villain. :3

Anywho; Sign up! Sign up!

*Will totally sign up for this!*

GS! A question on the Homunculi! Do the new ones have the same powers as their predasessors, or can we shake it up some? I'd like to know, because I know the perfect character to import for Greed, but a different power would make it better!

Back to working on characters!

... Wow, I'm glad to see this was as popular as I'd hoped. ;_;

To answer AGOI's question, a OC or PC homunculus can have whatever powers you want it to. The only thing a Homunculus cannot do is use Alchemy. I know Anime-Wrath did, but that was 'cause he had Ed's arm and leg.

I'll sign-up for this, GS! Not right now, cuz I'm pretty tired, but I will!

Just make sure to reserve Winry and Armstrong for me!

Also, the fact that it's been so quiet around here might be why nobody's signed up yet... don't worry, though, I'm sure this'll be popular!

Yah, no one's been around today GS, don't sweat it! And...I need to draw some pictures...

Anyways, I'll probably have a couple more characters later! (Need to find some canon characters to use too...)

Name: Ize Galv (Japanese way!)
Gender: Male
Class: Alchemist
Affiliation: State
Rank: …Captain? Isn’t that the rank alchemists get when they become State Alchemists?
Title: The Lightning Alchemist
Additional Information: Short, but he doesn’t care, Galv’s a red headed teenager, with a fashion for electricity. He has alchemic tattoos all around himself on different places, meaning he can use his Electric Alchemy from many different places. He knows other basic alchemy, but he truly excels in electricity.
Picture/Appearance: (REALLY need to draw a pic of Galv…) Short, about five feet tall, looks younger then he is. Staticy red hair, from all his electricity, and tends to wear brown.

Name: Greed
Gender: Male
Class: Homunculus
Affiliation: Homunculus
Rank: None
Title: None
Additional Information: As a human, he was self centered and ruthless, ready to steal anything of any worth, and change it slightly and make it his own. This shifted over slighty to when he became a Homunculus, and can copy and mimic someone’s fighting style, as well as their strength, speed, and more, and can mimic others he’s met as well, meaning he can switch styles mid battle to confuse an opponent. Human name: Lewis Dodgson.
Picture/Appearance: (Yah…need to draw stuff…<.<)

Awesome Points to anyone who knows where Greed is imported from!

Completely approved, AGOI! ^^

Stealing someone's fighting style... at first, it sounds almost like an Envy power, but when you think about it, it shows how greedy he really is! Kudos!


GAH! BR-san, don't say you can't join! I don't even know if this will start for a week!

As slow as things are, I might not begin the actual RP until next weekend or so. And even if you can't be here for the beginning, you could still join eventually, right? :hs:

I know you've wanted this to happen as much (maybe more) than I have.

Word, please do!! I won't mention any canon characters or CCs here! :D Please take him!!

Character Names I intend to sign up for:
OC - Nigel Brand
OC - Mary Grimalkin

And maybe some of these...

:3

Although, if I get a chance to use my very-improved Gluttony II in an actual FMA setting, I think I will. :3 And Love, I'd save, as well as another Virtue.

As for "dino variety," while I did read the book recently and it's entirely possible I would have thought of it, in Wiki'ing it (to look for the spelling of the James Joyce reference) it popped up. :heh: So to be honest, I deserve no Awesome Points. :heh:

There is one character on that OC Sheet of yours, BR, that I would like to use -- if you don't.

Well... I don't know if I want that character the way he is on that sheet, or in a different form...

Anyway! I'll sign up as some more people later.

XD You most certainly did, sir!

Well, if you're not planning on him, then I would like to use him. However; my plans are, as of now, very unplanned, so if you DO change your mind and want him that's okay with me too. ^_^

Nope, nope nope. ^_^ No plans for him.

I've worked out my new OCs extensively actually just their names and think they'll be great! Can't wait! :D

SHA-WEET!

Im totally in, with Ocs, and real people but dont have time for actual signups. So can I reserve...

Edward Elric? Usually I'd expect GS to sign up for him, but he's not taken. Heck, hes not even mentioned in the signups. Is this ok?

And Wrath...Not kid Wrath or Bradely Wrath either, this will be my OC, just wanted to reserve the name.

And if no one calls them, I'll later sign up as Scar (This is BR's though) and Pride (If one is not made)

Plus some Ocs..

I'm pretty sure I'm taking Pride, but the other ones you mentioned you can have. ^^

As to your confusion, yes normally I do take Ed, and yes I have been tempted a few times; but in all honesty I don't want to use him. He's the hero, after all... I don't want to have both the main goody and the main baddie. :p He's all yours dude!
