The story takes place in a world where alchemy is highly advanced. In this world, "alchemy" is based on understanding the inherent laws of matter: understanding, decomposing, and reconstructing. Alchemy must be performed according to the law of "Equivalent Exchange": in order to obtain something, an equivalent price must be exchanged. If the price is not enough, any part of oneself (a part of the body, memories, etc.) must be taken away as compensation.

Edward Elric Rick and his younger brother Alphonse Elric Rick deeply missed their mother, who died when they were young. In their quest to see her again, they performed the greatest taboo in alchemy— Human Transmutation. However, due to the backlash, Alphonse lost his entire body, and Edward lost his left leg. To bring his brother back, Edward Elric sacrificed his right hand to transmute Alphonse Elric's soul and bind it to a suit of Armored Titan. From then on, Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric embarked on a journey to reclaim everything they had lost and find their own bodies again.

Edward Elric's lost right arm and left leg were replaced with steel prosthetics called "automail," hence he was given the title "Steel" and is known as the "Fullmetal Alchemist."

Edward Elric Rick, the youngest genius in history to receive the title of State Alchemist. His nickname "Fullmetal Alchemist" comes not only from his mechanical arms and legs, but also from his heart of steel.

He is handsome, with long golden hair and bright eyes, and possesses unwavering determination and will. He has a fiery temper, is impatient and impulsive, but is kind and gentle at heart, brave enough to protect his companions, and has a heart of steel. After returning from his travels around the world, he had two children with Winry Rockbell.

Appearance: The male protagonist of this work, commonly known as "Ed". He has golden eyes and three braids of blond hair (sometimes tied into a ponytail). He has a single ahoge (his most cherished part, because it can increase his height) on the top of his head. He has replaced his lost right hand and left leg with auto armor. He is short in stature (he extremely hates others commenting on his height).

A genius alchemist who obtained the State Alchemist qualification at the young age of 12, he was given the nickname "Steel".

Personality: Sunny, impatient, materialistic, impulsive, gentle and considerate, tenacious, cares for family, cherishes companions.

The world of alchemists is a world of Equivalent Exchange. One cannot gain anything without sacrificing something; to obtain something, one must pay an equal price. This is the principle of Equivalent Exchange in alchemy.

Edward Elric and his brother Alphonse Elric Rick, consumed by grief over their mother's death in childhood, committed the greatest taboo of alchemy in their attempt to see her again: human transmutation, the Human Transmutation of bringing the dead back to life. Edward Elric Rick lost his left leg, and his brother Alphonse Elric lost his body.

Because he didn't want to lose his younger brother, he sacrificed his right arm to fix his brother's soul to the Armored Titan. In order to reclaim their original bodies, the two brothers began a journey to find the Philosopher's Stone... In the end, he restored his arm by reverse transmuting his brother's soul (in the 2009 version of Fatal Strike), defeated the Dwarf in the Flask, and persuaded Truth at the cost of his own Gate of Truth (alchemy), thus reclaiming his brother's body (but Edward Elric did not regain his left leg, in order not to forget the past).

Finally, let's conclude with Edward Elric's words: Lessons without pain are meaningless, for without sacrifice there is no gain. But when one overcomes that pain, one gains an indomitable spirit, a spirit of steel.

Alphonse Elric Rick is Edward Elric Rick's younger brother. In his childhood, he lost his own body due to Human Transmutation, and his brother sealed his soul into Armored Titan at the cost of his arm. From then on, he and his brother embarked on a journey to find a way to restore their bodies.

She has a gentle personality, the opposite of her impulsive brother, and is more mature, possessing high emotional and intellectual intelligence, enabling her to think calmly. During their journey, she is indispensable to Edward Elric considers his pillar of support. She also loves her brother and her greatest fear is losing him. In the end, both brothers find happiness.

Alphonse Elric Rick is the younger brother of Edward Elric Rick —the youngest genius in history to receive the title of State Alchemist and the "Fullmetal Alchemist." Alphonse Elric and his brother Edward Elric, overwhelmed by their grief over their mother's early death, violated the greatest taboo in alchemy: Human Transmutation. During the Human Transmutation process, Alphonse's entire body was taken from his brother (because he longed to feel their mother's warmth). Therefore, the body that could feel warmth was taken away by the truth. His brother fixed his soul within the armor, at the cost of his right arm. Because the soul was connected to the Armored Titan bloodstain (Al's bloodstain was on Armored Titan inside of the back of Armored Titan neck), once the bloodstain was completely destroyed, the soul would disappear, thus Al could not swim. Although Al had also opened the Gate of Truth, due to amnesia, he was unable to perform transmutation without drawing a circle at the beginning of the story. Because of the death of Martel (Greed's subordinate), his drawing was splattered with blood, causing his memories within the Gate of Truth to return. Afterwards, he could perform transmutation without drawing a circle, just like his brother. Furthermore, although his body was within the Gate of Truth, due to the soul connection created when he mixed his blood with his brother's blood during the transmutation of his mother, his body's nutrition and sleep were entirely obtained from Edward Elric's food and sleep.

In order to regain their original bodies, the two brothers embarked on a journey to find the Philosopher's Stone...

After losing his body: a huge Armored Titan and a white loincloth (made by his brother Edward Elric through soul-fixing alchemy at the cost of his right arm).

Al, as Edward Elric's younger brother, is the complete opposite of his brother Edward Elric, being more gentle (inherited from his mother). Although he is at an age where he tends to overthink, he is often more composed than his brother. His Armored Titan body troubles him. His brother Edward Elric's impulsive personality is completely absent in him; he displays a personality opposite to his brother's, being both gentle and calm. This personality trait often becomes a factor in the Rick brothers' success.

Alchemy (cannot be performed without drawing a circle at the beginning of the story. Because of the death of Martel (Greed's subordinate), his circle was splattered with blood, causing his memories within the Gate of Truth to return. He can activate it by putting his hands together).

Physical skills (learned from Izumi Curtis along with Edward Elric)

Edward Elric's left hand (his fleshy hand, not his mechanical arm) was pinned to steel bars by the power unleashed by "Father," who had devoured God. Meanwhile, his mechanical arm, which had been destroyed earlier, needed to be replenished with the Philosopher's Stone. "Father" then set his sights on the immobile Edward. At the critical moment, Al asked May Chang to create a transmutation circle on Edward's right shoulder with a dart. Al traded himself for his brother's right hand. After seeing Al leave, Edward flew into a rage and defeated "Father" in one fell swoop.

After the final victory, Ed wanted to find Alphonse, forcing himself to calm down. Hohenheim offered to trade himself for Alphonse, but Ed yelled at him and called Hohenheim" Dad" for the first time, though he added "damn it" before it. Finally, Ed came up with a plan. In front of everyone, he drew Human Transmutation circle, clasped his hands together, and declared, "This is the final transmutation of Fullmetal Alchemist!"

After entering the Gate of Truth, he used his own Gate of Truth to exchange for Al, which meant all his alchemical knowledge and abilities, and retrieved his brother's body. He returned to the world. Afterwards, he wanted to find May Chang and learn about alchemy so that he could cooperate with his brother to help the world. He set off for the East with two other chimeras, Jerso and Zampano. The final photograph is a group photo of Al with May Chang, his brother Edward with Winry and their child.

In Liore, Al was turned into a bomb by Kimblee, but Scar transferred the transmutation circle on his arm to Al's body, and then activated the transmutation circle drawn in Liore, using the lives of seven thousand soldiers to transmute Al into the Philosopher's Stone.

The Philosopher's Stone was used by Hugh Tuck to try and create Nina Tucker, but he was still unable to fix her soul.

At the cost of her own Philosopher's Stone, she brought the deceased Edward back to life; in turn, Edward sacrificed himself and the memories of his four-year journey to recreate Al's original body. Although she lost all her memories after Human Transmutation at the age of 10, she was determined to find her brother Edward and studied alchemy under Izumi Curtis.

In the theatrical version, she dresses up as Edward and travels around searching for him. When people from the real world attack the alchemy world, she reunites with Edward, regains her memories, and they eventually live together in the real world.

Although Conqueror of Shamballa successfully regenerated his body from Armored Titan into flesh, he lost his memories of the four years prior to his appearance, and was 14 years old at the time. To reunite with his brother Edward, who had disappeared from the world of alchemy, he returned to his master Izumi Curtis to resume his alchemy training. His red cloak and long hair perhaps symbolize his determination to find his brother. In the theatrical version, Al also created tornadoes and Soul Transference Technique, demonstrating abilities that were arguably on par with, and even surpassed, Edward Elric 'Edward Elric.

Winry Rockbell was Edward Elric and Al's childhood sweetheart. She was also responsible for the maintenance and repair of Edward Elric's prosthetic limbs. Although her parents died early in the country's civil war, she was not defeated by grief and always maintained a cheerful and lively personality. She was extremely interested in mechanical knowledge and was a so-called "mechanical geek" (Edward Elric called her). Every time Edward Elric broke a machine, she would scold him severely.

Her interests lie in autosuits and everything related to them. Like her grandmother Pinako Rockbell, she became an autosuit engineer and is Edward Elric's personal technician. She is an important member of the Rick brothers, like family, and is a very strong yet gentle girl. She seems to be aware of her feelings for Edward Elric. However, when she goes berserk, she will hit people with a wrench or chainsaw, and she will also hit Edward Elric with a wrench when he comes to Edward Elric for damaging his autosuit.

Edward Elric travels constantly to recover his body, and Winry helps him repair his autosuit each time it is damaged. In Central City, she learns that her parents were killed by Scar, whom they had treated, but she resolutely decides not to kill but to help others.

After the Nationwide Transmutation Circle was activated, Edward's soul was taken by "Father" (along with the entire nation). Later, thanks to Edward Elric's father, Hohenheim, his soul returned, and he remembered the feeling of losing his soul.

Winry, the female protagonist of * Fullmetal Alchemist *, is Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric's childhood friend. The three shared beautiful memories from their childhood, which remain vivid throughout the series. For Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric, Winry is the only girl they want to protect and cherish. The serious consequences of their sins deeply wounded Winry. Therefore, to protect Winry from further harm, the Winry n't understand this, as she worried about them more than anyone else, but they didn't want to burden her with their burdens. Despite this, Winry never pressed them for the truth, silently waiting for their return. She knew they had their own reasons, and she understood and loved them both.

From the very beginning, Childhood Friends Bonds introduces her as a violent girl, terrifying when she goes berserk, even Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric can't handle her. But this seemingly weak girl is actually strong inside. Her parents were killed in the Ishval War, and she lost them at a young age, yet she didn't give up on herself but survived with resilience. However, the truth always has to be revealed, and when that moment comes, she finally knows who killed her parents. At this moment, instead of crying and crying out that God was unjust to her, she bravely raises a gun and points it at the murderer. All of this surprises us greatly; this girl's actions are completely unexpected.

"Why! That person killed Dad and Mom!"

"You delivered the baby in Rush Valley, saving both mother and child. You gave me hands and feet that allowed me to stand again. Your hands are not for killing, but for saving!"

Advice

"So..."

Edward Elric ultimately stopped Edward Elric, hoping that the girl he had cherished since childhood would never have her hands stained with blood, and that she would remain a pure and kind girl, wishing her happiness. After listening to Edward Elric's advice, Winry also chose to abandon revenge. Facing Scar, who killed her parents, she only wanted to know why they had been killed. Winry's parents, as doctors, being killed by someone she had saved was undoubtedly a cruel fact. But she still didn't succumb to this fate. Such a pure and kind girl was undoubtedly the true daughter of a doctor!

After the final battle, the kind girl also found her happy life. Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric successfully recovered their bodies, returned to their hometown, and stopped being alchemists. Finally, Edward Elric went on a journey to learn more knowledge for a happy future, and formally proposed to Winry when he said goodbye. Several years later, Winry two finally got married, had children, and lived happily ever after.

Von Hohenheim, the alchemist forgotten by time, is the father of Edward and Al. He left his beloved family with a deep past in his heart. When he finally saw the wish he had been pursuing, he discovered that he had lost the important promise he had made to himself and the people he cherished most. He has a deep connection with the forces of darkness and knows all the inside stories.

Von Hohenheim was originally a nameless slave in the ancient city of Xerxes, numbered 23. His master extracted his blood for experiments, creating a "man" with omniscience within a flask. Later, the "Dwarf in the Flask," in gratitude for creating him from the blood, named him von Hohenheim and taught him alchemy and writing. Thus, Hohenheim became his master's assistant. Later, the king asked the "Dwarf in the Flask" if there was a way to achieve immortality. The man taught the king to create a circle within the kingdom to forge the Philosopher's Stone, transforming all the people of Xerxes into Philosopher's Stone to construct him and reshape Hohenheim's body, thereby achieving immortality. The "Dwarf in the Flask" then left the flask, possessing Hohenheim's appearance, and separated his negative traits representing the "Seven Deadly Sins" into seven Android, who were then called "Father."

The father of the Rick brothers, with blond hair and golden eyes. When he was nearby, all the animals would inexplicably display fear and unease. Compared to other fathers, Hohenheim was cold towards his two sons, abandoning his wife and children when they were still young and leaving Resembool, disappearing for many years. In fact, beneath his cold exterior lay a passionate and complex emotion; for example, he made a swing for young Ed and Al to tie to a tree, and accidentally fell off the tree himself while it was finished.

In episode 20, he returns to the village after a long absence and meets Edward Elric, who has also returned. Although Edward Elric is cold towards him, Hohenheim quietly goes to Edward's bedside to look at Edward Elric and tries to touch him while Edward Elric is sleeping, though he eventually moves his hand away. After defeating his father, Hohenheim offers Edward Elric to sacrifice himself and exchange the Philosopher's Stone within him for Al's body, but Edward Elric refuses and angrily calls him a "bastard father." This is the first time Edward has called him "father," which makes Hohenheim very happy.

(Ed had only called Hohenheim "father" before he was a child and before Hohenheim left the village.) He also had a special reason for leaving the village: to speak with all the people who made up the Philosopher's Stone within him and scatter them in various places to stop "Father" (as "points" for Reverse Transmutation Circle). Since his parents were not officially married, he used his mother's surname.

Known as Hohenheim the Light, he successfully created the Philosopher's Stone 400 years ago, allowing his soul to transfer to another person's body to continue living. However, during one soul transfer, he lost his resistance and his body deteriorated. Not wanting his wife to see his decaying body, he left her.

Twenty years before his appearance, he went to the northern fortress "Briggs" alone for a month of training, where he fought a bear alone and stole weapons and food from the Briggs soldiers.

She had been married to her husband for many years without children. In an attempt to save her deceased child, she underwent Human Transmutation. However, after witnessing the truth, she transmuted into an unrelated black human body, at the cost of losing some internal organs and her fertility. After this, she could perform transmutations without a transmutation circle and possessed formidable combat abilities. However, due to the loss of some internal organs causing poor blood circulation, she often vomited blood.

Edward Elric Rick and Alphonse Elric Rick studied alchemy with her in their childhood. She was known for her strictness, which greatly instilled fear in the two brothers Edward Elric.

She officially appeared when the Edward Elric brothers were working to improve their combat abilities. In the FA version, after being treated by von Hohenheim, she stopped coughing up blood (she died of illness in the 2003 theatrical version). Although she was an alchemist and Edward and Al's teacher, she often referred to herself as a "housewife." Later, she went north to find the Briggs soldiers and helped them in their attack on the center. She helped Rear Admiral Levi Mira Armstrong and Major Alex Louis Armstrong kill the Android Sloth. She herself was also designated as one of the "human sacrifices" by the Flask Men, and fought for her students on the Promised Day.

Features: Brown skin, red eyes, an X-shaped scar on his face, and an alchemy tattoo on his right arm that contains destructive power (in the 2003 version, it is a half-finished Philosopher's Stone).

Family: He has an older brother who is obsessed with alchemy.

The Ishval monk, known as "Scar" (or "Scar Man" in Hong Kong) because of the crisscrossing scars on his forehead, abandoned his original name ("Scar" is a homophone for "Scar") because he used alchemy to betray his faith. He has a tattoo on his right hand that conceals destructive power. When he was severely injured by the Crimson Alchemist Zolf J. Kimblee, his brother transplanted his own right hand into him to save him, but his brother died in the process. According to Edward Elric Eric, alchemy consists of three steps. "Understanding, decomposition, and reconstruction." Scar stopped alchemy at the decomposition step, thus achieving the effect of destroying objects.

The monk who survived the Ishval Wars abandoned everything the gods had given him (including his name) and embarked on a path of revenge, fueled by hatred for the State Alchemists. Later, persuaded by Miles, who also had Ishval blood, he fought to change the negative attitude of the Amestris people towards the Ishval, and stood on the same side as Edward Elric and his companions.

A member of the Ishval tribe, he lost his brother in the war ten years before the main storyline, but received his right arm from him to be used in the Philosopher's Stone forging. Seeking revenge for his brother, he slaughtered the State Alchemists, but was stopped by the Edward Elric brothers, Dr. Marcoh Mustang, Colonel Mustang, and Major Armstrong. Later injured by Android, he led his people in a struggle. He forged the Philosopher's Stone in Liore, and ultimately sacrificed his own life to forge Alphonse Elric Eric into the Philosopher's Stone.

Roy Mustang was a premier State Alchemist and one of the participants in the Ishval War. His title was the Flame Alchemist.

Calm and composed, possessing the admirable spirit of always pursuing her dreams and the precious quality of never betraying her friends, she is one of the most admirable characters in the story. She regards Lisa Hawkeye as an important subordinate and the woman she cherishes most. Her most important and closest friend is Mas Hughes, a close comrade-in-arms and a beacon of light in his times of despair.
