Seriously not kidding, guys.

Edward Elric and Victor Frankenstein have a lot in common. In all seriousness. I shall make a chart to show you.

They both:
-Have a bad temper
-Are extremely eager to study science
-Have a blonde sister-figure (okay, that one's kind of farfetched)
-Try to bring the dead back to life and create a monster instead
-Have to pay dearly for their transgression
-Read the works of Hohenheim (For Ed, it was his father's letters, for Victor, it was the books of Paracelsus, better known as Theophrastus Bombastus Hohenheim)
-End up somewhere very far from home in their quest to right their wrongs
-Have younger brothers. XD;

That's the list for now, but there's probably more to come, since I'm only in chapter 2. Isn't that freaky, though?

[EDIT] And I quote: "...[modern scientists] know that metals cannot be transmuted and the elixir of life is a chimera." This is just plain freaky. Hiromu Arakawa must have been reading a Japanese translation of Frankenstein when he made FMA or something.

Err... I'm glad it didn't freak you out. XD; And, as to character...any military personnel, really, Hughes, Havoc, any of them. Unless you want to be like Winry or something. XD;;

And yes, you are the only guy. The rest of us are girls. XD

haha, i'm the only guy! hmm, it'd be funny if i played winry, since all the girls are playing boys, XD! i dunno, i'll think about it, and do you have like a general website for scanlations and stuff 9specifically the FMA stuff, since i havent read most of it) ?

Please excuse my RP account. I am lazy. XD;

Yeah, http://www.fullmetal-alchemist.com for FMA. Also, once you get to the scanlations, there are other ones on the site, but I'm not a big fan of any of them.

And we'd love you to be Winry, that'd be very funny. Of course, a few of us have her in a crack pairing with Riza...but, hey, if you mun, the everything is up to you. But we do really, really, really need military people, so...yeah.
