(Actually, I think I might just RP Al, too…I'll change up their backstory to fit a more modern world too(since FMA takes place around the 1910s))
Name: Edward Elric
SUPERHERO/VILLAIN NICKNAME: the Fullmetal Alchemist
Age: 19(okay he's 15 in most of the canon, but I need to bump his age up a little bit bc of rules. Let me know if I can have him and Al at their canon ages, I'd prefer it but I'm not gonna push. It's your RP, after all)
Sexuality: Heterosexual(straight)
Gender: M
Power: Equivalent Exchange–he can transmute things by clapping his hands together. Transmuting is basically just taking something and making it into something else. He has to abide by the law of Conservation of Mass, though(matter cannot be created or destroyed), hence why his power is called Equivalent Exchange.
Side: Hero, but he's not officially on any teams(he'll ally himself with certain people, though)
Appearance: Edward is short for his age, with long blond hair that he keeps in a braid. He has fair skin and golden eyes. His left leg and right arm are actually prosthetics.
Outfit: Ed wears a black tee shirt underneath an open red hoodie. The back of this hoodie has a black symbol of a snake on a cross with a crown and wings hovering over it on the back. He also has black jeans, in the left pocket of which the chain of a silver pocket watch sits, hooked around a belt loop, and a pair of black combat boots. He also always wears white gloves over both of his hands, which hides his metal arm.
SUPERHERO/VILLAIN ATTIRE: Just his normal outfit, generally he finds trouble on his own anyway.
Personality: Ed is very intelligent, but he can be reckless. He's a bit foul-mouthed and will show that when his friends or, gods forbid, his brother, are in trouble. Or sometimes just if he's provoked. Sometimes he hides it underneath a tough exterior, but he can be a bit of a softie. Ed's very sensitive about his height.
Backstory: Edward and Alphonse lived out in the country when they were younger. Their father was a scientist. One day, Ed and Al wound up sneaking into the lab to surprise him. The result of this was a lab accident where Ed and Al were injured. By injured, I mean Ed had to be rushed to the hospital and have an arm and leg amputated, and the chemicals that remained in his body gave him that power. Al got a power too(I'll explain that in his bio). To this day, nobody really knows what their father was actually researching. He left, taking his research with him and seemingly vanishing altogether. Soon after, their mother moved away with them to the city. She died, and the brothers were taken in by close family friends and they lived with them until they were old enough to move out of the house. Currently, they share an apartment.
Other: Edward hates milk with a passion.
Name: Alphonse Elric
SUPERHERO/VILLAIN NICKNAME: Iron Man Armor Man, Savior of Cats Hollow
Age: 18(canon age is 14)
Sexuality: I'm actually gonna make him bi for this.
Gender: M
Power: Armor–He can transform into an "armor form", which is essentially a hollow suit of armor that can move. It can move because it's just his body transforming and his soul is still attached to it. Like in the canon of the show, though, Al has a seal that, if broken, will detach his soul from the armor. It's located inside the collar/neck protector thing. Al can't stay in this form for extended periods of time, but he also can't stay in his human form for long, either.
Side: Hero, like Ed, he's not technically part of a team but will join up. I guess his "team" would be with Edward.
Appearance: In his "human" form, Al is tall and slim, with short honey-colored hair and brownish-grayish eyes.
Outfit: Alphonse wears a black and grey checkerboard flannel shirt, with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows, open over a white tee-shirt. Sewn into the left shoulder of the flannel is the same symbol that is on Ed's jacket but red. Al wears light blue jeans and somewhat beat-up grey Converse.
SUPERHERO/VILLAIN ATTIRE: Usually, Al goes into battle in his armor form, which looks exactly like it does in the anime canon
Personality: Alphonse is kindhearted and prefers to talk things out rather than fight. This is an extreme contrast between his brother. He's friendly and trusting, though sometimes too friendly and trusting.
Backstory: The same as Ed's, since they're brothers.
Other: Alphonse loves cats.
@Poppy can I start RPing?
