The brothers trained hard, spending the remainder of their scarred youth learning all that they could about alchemy, combat, and how to get their bodies back. Thanks to his friend Winry, Edward was fitted with automail prosthetics, metal limbs that connect to the nervous system to allow natural motion. Mangled and maimed, the brothers knew that they had made a grave mistake. Desperate, Edward sacrificed his right arm in order to bind Al’s soul to a suit of armor, tethering his brother to the physical world and allowing him to exist on as a disembodied voice inside of the armor. In keeping with alchemy’s law of Equivalent Exchange, Edward lost a leg, and Alphonse lost his entire body in the process. Ed and Alphonse were armed with just enough knowledge of alchemy to be dangerous, and so they conspired to transgress alchemy’s most grave law: Human transmutation is strictly forbidden.Īttempting to resurrect their mother, the transmutation went off without a hitch… resulting in a horrifying abomination that took the place of their mother. After their father left them at a young age, their mother suddenly fell ill, and eventually passed away. As the elder brother, Edward had a natural talent for alchemy, impressing his mother and tutoring his younger brother with his ability to grasp alchemical concepts and formulae. I highly recommend watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood or reading the manga in any case, one of the all time greatest works in the genre (my humble opinion, of course.) After the break, we’ll jump right in!Įdward and Alphonse Elric were born in the small town of Risembool. Spoilers will be in effect for Fullmetal Alchemist & FMA: Brotherhood, but I’ll try not to ruin too many of the fun twists and turns. Get your chalk circles and philosopher’s stones ready, Buildies! Today’s the day that the much-requested Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist, is brought into D&D 5th Edition! I’ve been looking forward to this one for a good long while, and I’m so happy that many of you let me know that you wanted him too. You can’t gain something without losing something first… but if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you’ll find that you have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle… ‘ We’re just humans.‘There’s no such thing as a painless lesson. I’m not short, I just live in a big world. I will do what I can, even if my chance of passing is minuscule, if that will allow me to move forward. The cycle of life goes only one direction, not even alchemy can change that. No matter how big the place is, we’ll eventually reach the edge if we keep moving forward. Even if I can’t prove it’s true, I have to try, for your sake, Al. Maybe life has no equal trade, maybe you can give up all you got, and get nothing back. Once you have withstood the pain and overcome it, you will gain a heart that is stronger than anything else. Men are not men on the battlefield, we turn into some other creature, you can do the cruellest things. Like I always say, can’t find a door? Make your own. Even your gravest mistakes shouldn’t stop you from moving forward. How can you move forward if you keep regretting the past? -Edward Elricģ. Sacrifices are necessary, you can’t gain something without losing something first. There’s no such thing as a painless lesson, they just don’t exist.
