---Character Information---
1.) Character Name -- Alphonse Elric (nicknamed Al)
2.) Character Bio -- Alphonse is a sweet boy who loves (mostly feline) strays, a very strong pacifist, and is kind and gentle to everyone. These traits are considered childish tendencies, the reason is said to be because he has a stunted emotional maturity from not growing physically at all, however when escaping from Gluttony's stomach through the seal, he confirms that Al's body does in fact still exist, although it had been fused with Ed's body. He almost stays the same age in his armor 'body'. Edward, feeling a tremendous guilt over affixing Al to something that won't grow or have senses, doesn't care what happens to himself and would without second thought give his life to give Al his body; he believes Al may lose his humanity. Alphonse is completely against Edward dying or being separated from him, so Al stops his brother from going too far for him. Al is known to be one of his "tough-as-steel" older brother's very few weaknesses; enemies often take advantage over it. Alphonse sometimes feels that he is a burden to Edward, but he has saved his brother's life more than once. Alphonse is seen as the counterpart of Edward. While Edward is demonstrated as violent, impulsive, stubborn, and loud, Alphonse is pacifistic, strategical, stubborn and quiet.
Because of his armor, most people who meet Alphonse, to Ed's annoyance, automatically assume him of being the Fullmetal Alchemist.
Edward and Alphonse are both very loving and close to each other; in their traumatic struggles, they retained their very sanity by becoming each others support beams and only friends. Unfortunately his brother Ed is constantly teased for being the "puny older brother" because most who meet Al automatically assume that there is a person underneath the giant suit of armor (hence assuming that a big person fills the armor)
3.) Relationships with people -- Friends and close people: Edward Elric,Winry Rockbell,Pinako Rockbell,Van Hohenheim,Trisha Elric,certain people from the army.
Al usually interacts really well to people,do his gentle and kind nature,allowing him to be liked by many and gain friends and sympathy.
4.) Likes -- Stray felines,his brother,his friends.
5.) Dislikes -- Lies,death,his friends in trouble,his brother blaming himself.
6.) History of the character -- Alphonse is born in a small town named Risembool, where he lives with his older brother, Edward, and both of his parents, Trisha Elric and Van Hohenheim, until Hohenheim embarks on a journey and several years after, Trisha falls ill and dies, leaving the two young boys as orphans. Their neighbor, Pinako Rockbell, then begins looking after them. During that time, the brothers concentrate in studying alchemy in hopes of bringing their mother back to life and are able to train with a skilled alchemist named Izumi Curtis. When they return home from their training, they proceed to try the taboo art of Human transmutation but fail costing Edward his left leg, and costs Alphonse his entire body. Edward then performs a second transmutation, sacrificing his own right arm to bind Alphonse's soul to a nearby suit of armor.
---Your Info---
1.) Why do you want to be this character? -Not really what to say...All that I was so happy when I thought I could play him.Al interested me a lot,since he is the same personality as I am and he is always there for his friends,Edward especially. ^-^
2.) How far are you into the Anime? -I saw the whole series.Except for two or three episodes,around middle-end.
3.) How far are you into the Manga? -I read occasionally the latest chapter,but I'm more for the series (I'm referring to Brotherhood series here.)
---Writing Sample---
Al followed his brother,running after him as he tried to yell slightly after him. "Brother,it's not fair!" he said in a sobbing voice.Probably if we was in his original body,actually having expressions he would probably be sniffing by now.Al stopped,his armor's feet burying slightly in the ground,as he tilted his head a little to Ed,who also seemed to stop. "But it doesn't have a house!" he muttered,trying to give himself a cute,innocent voice.Al really had this habit of picking stray animals (mostly cats) and hide them in his armor.It wasn't a surprise that Edward was now leaving the small kitten into a random box under a tree.Everytime Al has been discovered,his brother started telling him that he shouldn't do such things.Alphonse always tried to explain about how innocent,poor and others they were,but in the end,his elder brother always won.Al sighed then rubbed the back of his armor's head. "I understand.Sorry..." he replied with a soft chuckle. "But it has big green eyes!" Al said in a cute,fascinated voice at the kitten, grasping his hands together,with sparkles as extras around him.
