---Character Information---
1.) Character Name - Barry the Chopper
2.) Character Bio - Barry the Chopper (or Barry the Butcher) is a very mentally unstable serial killer who enjoyed targeting women as victims. Considering his inability to plan strategically in battle, his movements are usually slow and clumsy when he is put into his second form (the suit of armor). Despite his own mental instability, he enjoys preying on the minds of others, drawing each meter of hope from his victims before 'chopping them to pieces'.
3.) Relationships with people - Barry feels no need for companionship, as the only pleasure he exacts is from dying prey. He kidnaps Winry Rockbell and Edward Elric, attempting to murder them both before he is defeated by Edward and discovered by Alphonse Elric and the military. When he meets Alphonse again in battle, he sees him as 'interesting' and manipulates Alphonse in a twisted battle of manic wits.
4.) Likes - Barry loves to see things in pieces, to truly see how everything 'ticks'. He likes killing, and enjoys the cries of anguish.
5.) Dislikes - Barry does not like being beaten, nor outsmarted (though considering this man's uncalculated moves, it's not hard) as it makes his fun challenging. He prefers quick deaths, in which he can begin his somewhat ritual performance of tearing the victim apart.
6.) History of the character - Considering this man's pathetic wit and low strength, Barry has come a long way from being a psychotic murderer to an unstoppable suit of armor. His mentality is virtually unchanged, as he still feels the same as when he lived as a human in central (he may still be considered to be human, but let's face it, he's a giant suit of armor with an evil soul), stating that he needs no 'proof of his life', that he is a killer, and that is his purpose, the meaning of his existence. The start of his rampage began with the murder of his own wife, then pretending to be a woman to find easier targets. He is sent to jail, and supposedly given the death sentence, but instead held for secret military testing in lab 5 where he becomes number 66. After he'd escaped from lab 5 during his encounter with Al, he began to murder Ishbalan people for a mercenary group until he is destroyed by Scar. (Obviously this is based off of the 2003 anime, as the manga keeps him around longer, and I have not seen brotherhood.)
---Your Info---
1.) Why do you want to be this character?
To be truly honest, I'm not sure why I want to be Barry the Chopper, not only am I a girl, I happen to be mostly sane (Somewhat). However, I find that I enjoy delving into the mind of more twisted individuals, as it sheds another point of view in life's demanding subjects (even if it would be an idea I would not utilize). For me, it means broadening my character development skills, as I would enjoy creating my own manga someday (I have a hard time creating believable bad guys).
2.) How far are you into the Anime?
I'm more than halfway through the Anime, I don't remember which episode exactly, but I know I'll finish it soon. I have seen much further than when Barry was destroyed by Scar.
3.) How far are you into the Manga? I have not read the Manga yet, though I would like to eventually. I happen to have some sisters that constantly give me spoilers though...
---Writing Sample---
Barry slowly sharpened his usual carving knife, having nothing else to do. He could not leave this place, this old, decrepit, and dusty old place. Bored, he stood up, carrying his knife with a swinging motion as he began to pace back and forth, slouching as if it was actually hard to move his body. In fact, it was an easy task, as he felt nothing anymore, thanks to the suit of armor that his soul now resides in. Empty, devoid, one could question if this being truly was alive at all.
As his body did not truly belong to himself, not the original shell he was made in, he had been given a new name, number 66. Perhaps an unlucky coincidence for most, Barry did not care, he mostly didn't notice. All that pestered his conscience was the silence in the room, the only noise being the echoes of his movement.
Nothing, nothing to kill, nothing to destroy, tear apart, riddle with fear and agony. The silence began to ebb away at the killers mind, until he heard scampering nearby. Eager, he raced to the area of the noise, hoping to disassemble some unsuspecting explorer. To his dismay, he only found a mouse, picking over the lost crumbs of some disheveled experiment.
"Ehh?! Y-yes!" He whimpered, unsure of this creatures worth. Deeming it satisfying, he smacked his cleaver on the ground, missing the rodent by mere centimeters. "W-wait!!" He cried, now desperate for some kind of kill, what was left of his senses tingled from excitement of the premonition of blood.
The small gray mouse scurried away to safety within a small crack in the wall, leaving the hollow killer to despair. "No! N-no!! Get back here! Augh! Heh, s-silly creature.... ahh so small. I-It wouldn't last long... come back!" Crouching low, he attempted to carve the crack to a larger size, but his work was completely futile.
"No... NO!! N-next time, it'll be pieces! I'll see you next time and chop you to bits!! Hwahh! Ahh! AHAHAHA!! Uhh..." Slowly ending his mental rampage, he stood up reluctantly, allowing his carving knife to drag. The building fell silent once more, it must be night, or perhaps morning, he could not tell.
