Also... AG-chwan~! >__>; I think after so long, like literally ages, that it would be wise to give the "opportunity" to start following the anime's version of the manga. Known as FMA: Brotherhood. Like.. Do a poll or something, see what the rest of us think. HOWEVER!~~~~ My idea isn't that, that's a old a'rss idea. My idea is this, rather than "switch" over to 'Brotherhood', why don't we kind'a just 'transcend' into it. Like.. I am Greed. (If Martel is awesome enough to give him back.) And Greed dies, like in the manga. The "new" Greed takes over the position, and for some reason Martel feels obligated to serve the new Greed to make up for "letting her lover die". Like a guilt thing, or something. Then, after saving his life or something like that jazz, she realizes that she got attached to the new Greed. And even sees a bit of "her" Greed in this one, then we have about ages worth of RP just between two characters. Just imagine how that will round when it comes to the other complex relationships, lmao. Besides, in other FMA RPs, I have always found it easier to play as manga Greed. He reminds me so much of my favorite Bleach character, Gin Ichimaru. Manipulative, kind'a creepy, polite, sadistic, --however--, there is a good side to him, like his undying loyalty to those closest to him, and things like that. It would be a more well-rounded Greed. Lol. Also... Martel would have a bit of competition when it comes to 'my' bodyguard who also loves him. Lol. All that, for just three characters. Just think what would happen to the rest of the RP if we just kind'a transcend into Brotherhood rather then switch. Just an idea, though.

I personally love the brotherhood Greed. He just did not have enough of a character background for me in the first anime series compared to it now.

Thank ya', thank ya'. Lol. I didn't expect my idea to go over so well, but this is good. Btw, if you want a bit more info' then go to the MIA board. I posted a little more there about it, AG will probably get on later and cut/paste it to this board. So yeah. <3;

I like the idea of changing, but I think if we found a way of COMBINING the two plots, so nothing is really left out, would be great. Multiple sins would be cool as well Dante and Father working together sounds cool, and multiple sins would be teh awsum <3

LMAO! Yeah, I know. 0.o I was the one who kind'a came up with it, then posted it in the other thread. xD Like Dante and Father working together and such. However, there can only really be seven main sins. As far as I know. So the users of each sin will be able to pick which version they want, lol. I pick Manga-Greed, and Envy is virtually the same in both. Except the extra form, which is why I pick Manga-Envy. Lol. Manga is always cool. Yeah, you get the idea. <3; I love you! My favorite psychopathic tin can, who is actually misunderstood. xD Btw... ; Does this randomly. ; ^ Banned for having good taste in women and then cutting them up. Also banned for seemingly wanting to be a woman. XD!!!!! Lol. I had to!~ I couldn't resist. =]

Here is some of the extra info', enjoy: Well... I thought a little more into my idea. The whole poll to see who would like to "transition" into FMA: Brotherhood. I know it would be hard to discard anime-only people --like Dante-- for manga only people --like Father--. So.. Why do it? Why not have both versions of FMA coexist? Like, for example, Dante is just another one of the people who work for Father. But she is more of a partner then a pawn. Kind'a stuff like that. We could use both sides of characters. For the switch between A-Pride/M-Wrath and A-Wrath/M-Pride, and even A-Sloth/M-Sloth, we could let the RPer of each character pick which they would prefer for their character for the time being --leaving the option to switch open-- and go from there. Then make a back story of why Pride went to Wrath, etc. Lol. I have plenty more ideas, just figured I would mention this one.

we'll figure it out. Looks like most people like Brotherhood...but I don't want to make Dante choose a new character just because we are making a change. So we'll figure it out...I was thinking something similar actually

Yeah, like I said. Lol. Dante won't even have to switch. Dante will just be working for Father, or even not a co-worker. The back story depends on what they want. Working with Father was just an idea. But the only ones that will eventually have to pick are the Homunculus. Envy is the same in both versions, just has more bad ass powers in manga. So I pick manga Envy. Greed dies in the manga, and is reborn as Ling Yao. Who becomes the "true" ultimate shield. His shield even kicked the crap out of Pride. And the personality reminds me of Gin Ichimaru from Bleach. So I pick manga Greed. Pride is Wrath in the manga, different sin totally the same concept. Wrath in the manga is Pride. Still a kid, but way more kick ass. Even has better powers. Sloth is still Sloth. But in the manga it's a dude. While no water using, it is still pretty good. Lust and Gluttony are the same, Gluttony is just more powerful then in the anime. So other then that, the biggest change is that Riza has a tattoo. 0.o So yeah.

I hope we're not going to be restarting the entire rp though...Like you suggested, lets just 'shift'!

Not sure how I'd handle Kimblee. *scratches head* I absolutely despise Manga FMA Brohood Kimblee. He's far too 'proper' and 'well mannered' for me. xD Any suggestions?

Well we are doing a combination of the two...basically, you can choose which version to play since there are differences...
Like, we aren't going to have two different Prides, Wraths, and Sloths. The people playing those ones can choose which personality they will play...but the names will have to stay the same...it's going to be complicated...but we'll get it down.
So you can still play the original anime Kimblee

Excelent. Sounds great. (Personaly if I were Kimblee, I'd take the Brotherhood one, but whatever.) If this goes through, dibs on Brotherhood Wrath. (I don't think he's taken...). I think the idea of not totaly changing to the Brotherhood storyline is a good idea. I think this could work very well if the transition goes smoothly.

Actually that will be up to the current Pride if he wants to take on the "Wrath" personality or the "Pride" personality

Anime Pride is in fact Manga Wrath. So technically it really is up to 'Tai' or 'Pride' as it were. Lol. You'd figure someone would get like "auto" dibs on Manga Pride, with his ubberness. Lol. I love my idea.<3; Lol. Kimblee is awesome. But I would take Manga/FMA:B, too. It's like a bad seed in a 'good' candy wrapper. Lol. He only acts humanish, lol.

Very true. I didn't think of that. Yeah, Manga Kimblee is sotra in a "good candy wrapper" but that's what makes him awsome. He's even more devious.

Lol. Yes. He's like Kenpachi from Bleach with his eyepatch, masking his real self/power. He puts on a suit and manners, and acts like a human. Till given the chance to kill. A wolf in sheep's clothing. A bad seed in a good candy wrapper. A.. Some other form of the same metaphor.... LOL! =]

I do like the idea of transcending and this is just an idea,what if it was a Dante vs. Father type concept where certain homunculi or following Father, why Dante has her share as well.
As for Wrath,I like the orginal anime version of him,and that is probably how I will play him,I just need to find a place to put him. I will though.

Apologies for joining this thread so late! I've been busy with schoolwork lately. Getting ready for college is quite a pain, but I should have more time now that I've gotten most of the difficult stuff out of the way.
That being said, I'm perfectly fine with a merger between Brotherhood and the original anime as long as it's handled well. I personally don't care for the manga plot that much, but I suppose that's inconsequential. It does have some interesting concepts and characters that I would enjoy to see incorporated into the main roleplay.
The only main thing I would have a problem with is making Dante a servant to Father. Not only would that require intense rewriting and plotting in order to make it feasable, it would be unfaithful to both of the characters. I doubt Father would have the patience for dealing with a moody human woman, and Dante hardly seems like the type that would allow anyone to control her. That's just my opinion, though.
I would also rather not change characters if possible. Dante has always been very easy for me to roleplay and I've been using her ever since before I joined this forum. I gave Father a shot a while back, but I've never been able to capture him well. I'm much better with moody, nasty characters than stoic masterminds like Father. XD
As for the idea about two teams of homunculi, that would be very interesting, but unfortunately I don't think we have enough people to carry that out. Besides, having Dante and Father competing against each other would drastically limit their potential as antagonists, not only because they would be focusing on one another instead of Edward, but each would have less homunculi to carry out their bidding, as well.
So yes, I'm perfectly fine with merging the two anime as long as nothing goes out of control. Incorporating different characterizations and plot elements is interesting, but there are some things that I think would cause too many problems, such as having both Dante and Father in the same canon, or having the homunculi from both canons running around.

I strongly disagree with Dante working for Father. I mentioned that, but quickly changed it to them "teaming up" or more of a "symbiotic" relationship. Both teaming up for their own gain. Either that, or being enemies. Or even being two alternate evils that have the potential to clash or help out, depending on their interests.
