Its terrible aint it? *Is a horrible writer* *Hides in shame while playing Nixon's Walk*
---Character Information---
1.) Character Name – Shou Tucker (The Sewing-Life Alchemist)
2.)Character Bio -- He, perhaps once, was truely a kind and caring person. Was. His outlook on life and of others has grown grim as the years have passed, he has allowed himself to be consumed by the sad truth that his life was and is ruined because of the military. The double-bind imposed on him by this truth has caused him to be solely dedicated to his research, even sacrificing those he once loved to further it despite having the knowledge of knowing it will be meaningless in the end. He continues to wear a mask of kindness to others, hiding his sadness in the process. This alone allows him to continue functioning normally around others. However he isnt without hope, his love for his daughter is genuine and perhaps she is the only person he cares for truely. Perhaps he may change....perhaps not. Currently he is enthralled with his research, more than willing to sacrifice anything to continue it.
3.) Relationships with people --
Nina – (Nina Tucker) : Daughter / Perhaps the only person he truly ever cared for. Eventually becomes a focal point of obsession.
Edward and Al – (Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric) : Indirect Students? / Two brothers placed in his care while they studied for the alchemist exam. Attempts to hide his sadness around them for Nina's sake, no true feelings for either of them in the end, and if given the chance they would simply be used to further his research.
Dante & The Homunculi – (Dante, Sloth, Pride, Envy, Lust, Wrath, and Gluttony) : Master and the Homunculi / The ones who allowed him to live after his career as a State Alchemist was ruined. Under them he continued his research and almost had the opportunity to witness the creation of a Philosopher's Stone. More than willing to serve as long as their interests don't conflict with his own.
Greed/Greed's Gang - (Greed, Dorochet, Martel, Bido, Roa, and Ulchi /And anyone else I may have forgotten or had no name./) : Another group willing to accept his services / A short lived job as a doctor for the various chimeras within this group. Eventually defected along with one of its members. Not really much to say, just simply apart of it out of need, and the fact leader's goals didn't further his own didn't make the choice of leaving any harder.
Archer & Kimbley– (Frank Archer and Zolf J. Kimbley) : One would offer him the chance to rejoin the military as a State Alchemist and the other would simply be given the same offer. / A small trio that would be used to aide in a later attempt to create a Philosopher's Stone. His research would be put to use by creating chimeras for the military to use in the attempt of getting the people of Lior to attack. A short period of happiness...or the illusion of it anyway, remained this way until what little of his sanity finally ended.
4.)Likes – Research, Creating Chimeras, Human Transmutation (Not Resurrection <,< Human Transmutation doesn't solely meaning to attempt to raise the dead. Any type of transmutation involving the body, mind, or soul of a human.), Nina, and the possibility of using the Philosopher's Stone.
5.) Dislikes – Those who discover the darker side of his research, anyone or thing that wish to ruin his life, evaluations, unexpected guests or visits, and the double-bind the military placed him in after becoming a State Alchemist.
6.) History of the character -- >
Much of Tucker's history is unknown before becoming a State Alchemist, however over the course of the anime its stated he worked at some kind of a factory but it doesnt go in-depth to as what he actually did.
Tucker has only been a State Alchemist for two years, passing his exam by presenting a chimera capable of understanding human speech and capable of it as well, while just a few days earlier his wife had left him and his daughter. Shortly after this he gained notoriety for the creature and was given the title of Sewing-Life Alchemist. During the next two years he and his daughter eventually obtained a large estate in Central and the resources to carry out his research in the field of chimeric alchemy. After the first year he had been given an evaluation...which he failed despite the progress he had made, the results never came close to the chimera he had created to pass the alchemist exam. Only after this failure did he realize the double-bind he was placed in, for if he created another chimera like the first he would lose what was left of his family, but if he didnt he would lose his career as a State Alchemist and everything he had worked for. In the end this led to his obsession in his research even more, while sadness slowly consumed what was left of him. In the middle of his second year as an alchemist he was given charge of two brothers who wished to become State Alchemists such as himself, therefore he gave them access to his own collection of books on the subject of alchemy and allowed them to live in his home. Eventually only one of them passed and they left in the end, soon things returned to normal within the house and his researched continued.
//Eh if you want more detail and the entire anime I'll add it.\\
---Your Info---
1.) Why do you want to be this character? Well the more direct part to the answer would be “Because their wasn't any other characters left open that I liked”
With the other part being “Tucker is awesome” after watching all the episodes he was in. Plus he reminds me of Professor Hojo from FF7 in an eerily familiar way....Maybe its the glasses... And the power of God is also nice.....Tucker gets to play god a lot in the anime 0_0.
2.) How far are you into the Anime? Finished! Watched all the episodes I missed on the same day as finishing le manga.
Brotherhood: Intentionally one or two episodes behind so I have something to watch on a bad day.
3.) How far are you into the Manga? Read it all in one day!
---Writing Sample---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tucker silently stood looking down at the recently drawn transmutation circle that covered the floor, its purpose and his intent unknown to the two paralyzed creatures that laid in the center. A rare two-headed snake, a creature almost a chimera in its own right, and a large exotic green bird carefully brought into Amestris from a neighboring country specifically for his research. Normally just to obtain such creatures for an experiment like this would be extremely costly for any regular alchemist, however his career as a State Alchemist has granted him the chance to create a chimera unlike others before. Seconds passed but eventually he took his eyes off the circle and instinctively pulled out his pocketwatch. As soon as the watch left his pocket the transmutation had begun, a quick blinding flash of light filled the room with the silence was quickly replaced by the sound of pain from the two beasts as they found themselves forcibly merged together through the use of Tucker's chimeric alchemy.
As quick as it came the light disappeared leaving behind the end result, a newly created chimera. Tucker's eyes avoided looking directly at the newly form beast, apparently a rodent had entered the circle just before the transmutation. The creature appeared to be breathing for a few moments before going stiff. Another Failure... He walked out and shut the door without giving the failure another look.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Probably is sad. But then again Im a lazy s.o.b and its 3:46 am. I'll fix anything that needs it etc. etc.
On a side note if approved: *Is totally clueless as to where Tucker is currently at*Wishes to start after the whole Nina thing* I dont wanna have to get Envy to kill a little girl<,< Thats just evil!...Err nevermind...Hey Envy! Can you do me a favor? But seriously...*Is clueless as to Tucker's current status.* Ive been told conflicting things T_T about it.
