the Inferno Nightmare Alchemist

Name: Char Mustang (Alias: Char, Colonel Char, or the Inferno Nightmare Alchemist)

Age: Twenty

Gender: Male (also, he's a pansexual. I just find it fun to role play homos, but I want it to be where he also likes girls. o3o)

Rank: State Alchemist - Colonel

Appearance:

He wears the State uniform, and he has transemutation circles imprinted on his special gloves with an un-erasable/un-washable ink. His left leg is high-quality automail. ALSO! He always wears a blue crystal around his neck (hidden, of course), no matter what.

Personality: (Note: It says Roy, but just pretend that it says Char... -too lazy to fix-)
is a rather complicated man. Whether you spend five minutes or three hours with him you will know nothing about who Roy Mustang is, or why he ticks. Part of his intrigue as a character is precisely that Roy chooses who he wants to be known by, and how he wants to be known. He is quite adept at feigning a calculated persona for bystanders. Such a facade is Roy's defense mechanism for keeping people from getting close to him, while simultaneously concealing his true motives for his actions. For those who can get to see past his facades, if only even barely, they find themselves captivated and inspired by Roy and are unable to abandon his side.

The most prevalent characteristics that resonate, both internally and externally, through Roy is his relentless and tenacious determination. He does not give up at anything. He follows his convictions until their end. Roy does not know how to give in, fold, or succumb to defeat. Roy also has an innate and keen sense of leadership, which is provided and enhanced by the great respect he is able to ascertain and utilize, from both his allies and enemies. Roy's intelligence is also, not surprisingly, far above average (as can be seen in his tactical and quick rise through Military ranks as he simultaneously conducts his secret ambitions/plans). Roy has a penchant for not only bringing undying loyalty out of people, but also for reciprocating such loyalty to such people, as well as to the duties he's placed upon himself.

Roy is also able to learn from every experience, encounter, and every win and loss he receives. Such a trait again, makes his adept at adapting. Such adaptation allows him to not brood/live in the past, which considering the trauma sustained in the Ishval/Ishbal Rebellion, remarkably keeps him focused on his goals for the future. No matter how hard how deep the pit he's fallen into, or how difficult and emotionally wrenching the situations get, Roy always moves forward. He always moves on. He refused to let himself succumb to defeat or emotional breakdown. In addition he is able to model and reflect such strength and hope into the people around him. Roy is nothing short of a visionary (and an idealistic as well).

Further, Roy is an extremely polite person and treats people with the most respect, regardless of age, sex or race. How well he knows a person is also irrelevant. Despite his polite etiquette, he tends not to be straightforward. Straightforward in so far as Roy likes to be careful with words, and uses language as delicately and as precisely as writers would. For the majority of his words, there's much more meaning (or a double meaning) than what is said. For others around him, it takes time and experience to know what Roy Mustang is really talking about (as it does for us readers as well ^_^).

Roy is probably most misunderstood, ironically, by fans and readers, than by his fellow manga characters. Though the WebMasters believe this misunderstanding is a result of his portrayal in the anime version, more so than from the manga. Roy is often regarded as highly manipulative, arrogant, cold, and lazy. Roy is far from manipulative (at least towards the people he considers his friends or allies). Roy cares deeply for those his is close to and always makes sure everyone knows what they're getting themselves into and that it's their own decision and no one else's. This is not to say that there are times when he hides some information from them, but such decisions are never out of malice, but, because he considers it best for those concerning the mission (best for them emotionally).

Roy is not arrogant nor smug in the slightest. Though he does project confidence openly and wherever he goes, he does so knowing the limit of his ability, skill, and experience. He's a natural-born leader, and being in a Military position of power, showing weaknesses and hesitation would put himself and his men in danger. Roy has no problem in admitting he lacks skill for certain duties and tasks, but takes immense pride in knowing that he's an excellent and proficient alchemist, gets the job done well most of the time. He understands and appreciated the danger in situations and knows how to act accordingly, (whether retreating, attacking, or some other unforeseen event). Ironically, Roy has an inner self-loathing habit, which is mostly a result due to his experiences during the Ishval/Ishbal Rebellion.

Though Roy may appear cold and austere to outsiders, he is candid and warm with the people he cares about, and never hesitates to offer his help if a situation calls for it. If someone he cares for is in danger (especially if it's because of him), he will go to whatever extent necessary to protect them, and will not stop worrying about them until they are safe. Part of Roy's admirable character (and charm) is that not only is he passionate about his goals/ideals, but he is also equally as passionate about taking care of whoever may need it/those he cares for.

Further misconceptions regard Roy's morals. Again, we feel this stems from his character portrayal in the anime, more so that from his manga character. Roy is not morally "neutral" or even remotely close to it. If anything we would characterize his moral standing as "chaotic good." Roy's goals were set before he encountered the Elric brothers, and Roy has no trouble distinguishing what's "bad" from "good." One reason he forged such goals, is due to his steadfast commitment to benevolence and a greater "good". Also, though his convictions are strong and he has a steadfast resolution to attain his goal, he will not take innocent lives to reach it (this is not to say, however, that he won't derivate from the path of "socially acceptable" to get there). Roy will use any means necessary to reach his goals, so long as innocents will not become a casualty.

Roy is often labeled as a lazy bastard, but again, a careful read through the manga will disprove such claims. Roy is absolutely a procrastinater (thus tending to leave paperwork to the last minute), but procrastination is hardly proof of not doing his job. Many procrastinaters are quite skillful at their jobs. Roy is greatly valued by his superiors in East City (the ones who don't get irritated/jealous by his fast ascent through the Military ranks), and was assigned a massive amount of work due to his (and his team's) efficiency. Also, one can not get so high up the military that young (and quickly) without working hard and being good at his work, by sheer laziness (like me! :DD).

History: (Note: I didn't feel like changing all the she's and her's to he and his. Also, Colonel Char Mustang is Colonel Roy Mustang's Great-Great-Grandson.)

Char was born in Central City, but she wasn't there for long. Her parents were traveling Alchemist. Well, her father worked for the Military, so Char and her mother tagged along for each mission he went on. When she was three, her father was assigned a mission on Ishval, for the people of Ishval started to have small riots. This wasn't too... Safe for her at the times, but they went anyways. At the age of four, Char started to get into the whole Alchemy thing. She started reading books on it, and she somehow understood it, even at her young age. She started to practice it, and she was able to turn a large stone into a small statue. At the age of seven, she started experimenting with fire. At the age of ten, her father was soon sent on a mission to Risembool, and they tagged along. At Risembool, Char had her first run-in with a boy, around thirteen, who was one of the Rockbell's. You could say that she had a love-at-first-sight moment. They talked while her father worked on his mission. After a few days, the Campbell's were still in Risembool. Char decided to show the boy some of her Alchemy tricks; however, something went wrong. She had a large transemutation circle drawn, a large ammount of firewood in the middle, and the boy on the sidelines, watching. She put her hands on the side of the circle, the circle glowed, flames started to circle around the wood, but one of the flames shot out towards her, damaging her leg. She could have either A) lived with a large scar for her mistake, B) cut it off and have a stubby leg, or C) have it cut off and replace it with Automail. She was at the Rockbell's, so she decided to go with option C. Blah blah. When she was seventeen, she had completely perfected her fire alchemy. Char was now back in Central to stay, so she decided to become a State Alchemist. She mainly wanted the cool watch, but she also wanted to climb the ranks and become Furur. So, she tried out. Blah. Blah. She got it and was given the name of the Inferno Nightmare Alchemist. After a few years, she was promoted all the way up to Colonel. The. End... Or is it? (I got bored...)

Other: nope.
