Discord has broken out in central. Humunculi are back and are seeking state alchemists especially but will destroy all those who get in the way. There is the 7 again, but with a more powerful and different leader..

--------

The understanding of construction and reconstructing matter. However, it is not an all-powerful art. It is impossible to create something out of nothing. If one wishes to obtain something, something of equal value must be given. This is the law of equivalence exchange. The basis of all alchemy. In accordance with this law, there is a taboo among alchemists. Human transmutation is strictly forbidden, for what could equal the value of a human soul?

--------

Alchemy is metaphysical science/mystical art of manipulating and altering matter by using natural energy. This act is known as "Transmutation" and its sequence is usually described as:

• Comprehension - Understanding the inherent structure and properties of the atomic or molecular makeup of a particular material to be transmuted, including the flow and balance of potential and inetic energy within.
  
• Deconstruction - Using energy to break down the physical structure of the identified material into a more malleable state so as to be easily reshaped into a new form.
  
• Reconstruction - Continuing the flow of energy so as to reform the material into a new shape.

--------

The proper application of this craft requires not only a full understanding of chemistry and ancient alchemical theory, but also a sort of natural talent towards recognizing and manipulating the physical objects with energy, which require uncommon levels of intelligence and aptitude. Those remarkable individuals capable of studying and practicing alchemy are known as "Alchemists".

There are many paths by which alchemists can transmute the various substances of the world, with some alchemists being said to transmute by way of the Four Classical Elements (Water, Earth, Fire and Air) and some by way of the Three Essential Principles (salt, sulfur and mercury), but the basic tenet at the very foundation of all alchemy is that of Equivalent Exchange. The mystical practice of alchemy to create objects out of raw matter or turn one object into another is widely believed to be capable of anything - indeed alchemy is often viewed as magical or miraculous by those unfamiliar with the craft - but it is a science and as such is subject to certain laws and limitations, all of which fall under the concept of Equivalent Exchange: "In order to obtain or create something, something of equal value must be lost or destroyed."

--------

Since the alchemical forces being manipulated are not human in origin, but of the world as a whole, the consequences for attempting to bypass the Law of Equivalent Exchange in transmutation are not merely failure and cessation. When too much is attempted out of too little, what occurs is called a Rebound, in which the alchemical forces that are thrown out of balance on either side of the equation fluctuate wildly of their own accord in order to stabilize themselves - taking or giving more than was intended in often unpredictable and catastrophic ways such as accidental mutation, serious injury or death.

• This roleplay is OC only. There is nothing from the show here and nothing related to the show here, got it? It's pretty simple.
• No heavy cussing. I am allowing what the site allows: damn and piss[ed]. I don't want to see anything other than that; please keep it PG 13.
• I do allow all orientations of characters and people here. Don't judge.
• Respect everyone on the roleplay including me and the mods. Please love and tolerate.
• Don't make an all-perfect character who is perfect at all types of alchemy. Please PM me if you want your character to have special permissions.
• Not everyone is in the military, so you can make just a normal human that can't preform alchemy if you want.
• Please try to keep genders even.
• This roleplay is based off of FMA/FMAB. Don't join if you barely have any experience with them or none at all.
• This roleplay is loosely semi-literate. I'm not expecting a buttload of paragraphs for you to type, but I expect some proper grammar. Your posts don't have to be pretty either.
• Don't make a bunch of drama. You can make small drama, but don't create a super powerful homunculus who is trying to take over the world-- without my permission. c;
• No mary-sues. Don't have all of your characters with a sad background and an automail leg and arm and whatever.
• Yes, you can break the rules of alchemy, but not these rules!

A peaceful country townhouse is what she was born in with her little sister. She was kind of the mother of the family, as her mother and father were always out and about and she was in charge of taking care of her little sister. But there was a day that both her mother and father never came back: during the war. Her little sister, only 10 at the time, was so devastated that she tried human transmutation to try and bring them back. During the implosion, Destinee rushed in to stop her, only to see her sister laying limp on the floor from the transmutation. Of course Destinee was not thinking and also committed the taboo. She had her arm and one of her eyes ripped from her, but she was not able to bring her sister back.
.: P e r s o n a l i t y :.
Destinee is a very ambitious and daring girl. She always looks out for those who are dear to her being the protective person she is. She is brave and will not take losing as part of her vocabulary. She can be bossy at times but deep down she's very sensitive. She doesn't want to lose anyone close to her ever again.

A faint smile stretched across her lips but faded quickly. She was never one to be able to keep a smile on her face, even for just a little while. Even if his short pun was slightly amusing, she felt as if she wasn't able to grasp the short moment of happiness.
"So, your life.. how has it been?"
She had asked, her tone in the gentlest, as if it was fragile. It had the tone to it that if it is even gently touched, it would shatter- not quite something to expect from a girl of her experience and personality. She dreaded returning to the topic of her own past. It gave her a colder feeling than her frozen automail.

- Had prospects to become one until the 'change' However she can speak with animals. Currently she can't do any alchemy due to her canine body -
.: B i o :.
- They had thought all evidence of Shou Tucker's wrong doings in bio-alchemy had been destroyed. After turning his daughter into a dog/human... creature one would think that every scrap of evidence would have been burned down, as well as the house. But Shou Tucker's crazed antics had been left behind in a journal, long forgotten until Namine Ryoko's father, Ryuu had obtained it by some... odd chance of fate. Ryuu wasn't exactly a deranged man, that is... until he started dabbling in the arts of bio-alchemy. Changing the molecules of ones body, manipulating the elements that made up each and every cell... He had been a loving father, tentative with his wife and kids, and a little edgy at times, no one suspected a thing. Deep in the basement of his home, he worked, pushing two species together, a chicken and a duck, a frog and a mouse, selling each strange oddity on the street so he could keep food on the table.

His deranged practice only grew as the threat of losing the house became more and more real. Advancing upon Shou's knowledge, he eventually brought his own daughter into the basement alongside their family pet, a black and white husky. Transmuting his daughter led to success, but backfired when, in equal exchange, it took what little sanity he had left, with it. He began to change more and more humans, most ending in faliure, others sold to black market buyers as speaking dogs.

It wasn't until Luka Yu, a wandering alchemist, decided to stop in for a visit, that he found the repeated horror in the man's basement. He took his life, and promissed Namine that they would find a way to cure her 'disease', instead of ending everything in Namine's death like Nina before her. Much to Luka's surprise, the four legged... creature... Namine didn't mind being a dog creature, in fact she rather enjoyed it. Even so, she decided to stick with her rescuer and serve him as any loyal dog would. After all, he saved her from a life behind bars.

.: P e r s o n a l i t y :.
- Despite her earlier ailments, Namine is rather upbeat, enjoying the life of a canid-human. Though people staring seems to weird her out a bit, she enjoys all the luxuries of both worlds. Traveling with Luka in her words 'is the best thing that could have happened to her'. Without being transformed into a creature, she probably would have never viewed the world... or aided in battle that surely would have taken Luka's life if he had been on his own. She likes to put her past behind her and move on, if she gets her normal body back... shes not sure what she will do with it. Having been changed at the age of twelve, it had been years for her, anything else would be... odd for her. So instead of moping, she tries to make the best of things.

- Her base coat is white, with a black blanket on top and framing her husky blue eyes. A black nose tips her muzzle, tapped by that of her long, horse like mane the same color as the black of her coat. Most don't realize she is a human soul trapped in a dogs body until she speaks, her tongue curling around words in her oddly shaped mouth. It has taken her years of trial and error to learn how to speak. Standing at about waist height (at the whithers, meaning base of her neck where it connects with the shoulder) on a 5'8 human, she is far bigger than her regular husky counter part, some human part of he decided that she needed to hit puberty and grow a bit. At times she wishes she was a smaller dog, feeling she would be of much better use in battle, but she likes the intimidation effect she has on her opponents. The last little tidbit is that her left ear is pierced, it used to be a tag with an identification number, but she since had it switched out with a silver loop

.: B i o :.
- Luka was one of the lucky ones, born of a good family, a comfortable living, not really many bad things other than a broken bone here and there. (mostly due to his love of alchemy) His father had been a state Alchemist, teaching his son all the fine arts of Earth Alchemy, while his mother taught him fire. It wasn't until he was fifteen that he had moved on to find other teachers both in water and in air... however they soon found him to be completely lacking in the skills, water flowed on past him, and air blew in one ear and out the other. In fact it wasn't until a year later that they discovered him building a giant scrap metal figurine that they figured out his newest gift. Metal Manipulators weren't exactly a common occurrence, and his father was quick to have him enlisted in the army as a state Alchemist where rigorous tests concluded that he was sound enough to be enlisted. Wearing the military gear however... well to him they needed modifications.

Like many kids coming from standard households, Luka had managed to become rather bored and at times... dark. It did not take long for him to dye his coat black with silver and white... instead of blue with gold and white trim. Nor did it take long for him to opt in for the coat with coattails on the back, and much more skinnier pants.

It wasn't long after he joined that he started touring the world for his own 'research' at first he was not quite sure what he was looking for. Just practicing his skills and doing what ever the military ordered him too, like a good little Dog... well... that was until he found Namine. Even to this day he finds himself in shock over her outward appearance, though the shock is dulled with a complacent expression and the length of time he has spent with her. Surprisingly he finds himself sometimes overly protective of Namine, even though she seems to be quite the useful battle partner. With a goal in mind, both him and his companion now set the research funds towards finding a 'cure'... even when Namine tells him she doesn't want to be cured.
.: P e r s o n a l i t y :.
- Often times Luka comes across as bored, even dark. Yet behind his veiled eyes he is always thinking, solving problems, or finding new ways to entertain himself. Unfortunately entertainment can mean quite a few different things... pyrotechnics being one of them. When he is entertained however, it is not rare to see him smile, nor is it rare to see his silver tongue crack a comeback when one least expected it. He enjoys the little things, but just finds life... meaningless, thus, he is bored. Sure he may be having fun, but whats the point? Sometimes he can be quite the Enigma, a challenging sort with a slight temper but a happy side too... or so Namine says. His eyes are a bright blue, matching his fellow friend in her odd traits. Almost as if they were meant to find each other from birth.

- Silver to white hair tops the crown of the ever alabaster 'Scrap Metal Alchemist', its as if the sun has never kissed his flesh with its warm touch. Cloaked in a black, white, and silver Military outfit, he walks around with a bored expression upon his face a majority of the time, his head hung forward. He is not a depressing fellow, or an overly happy one, hes just calm, relaxed, and bored. Standing at 5'8 he finds himself a bit on the short side, with his poochy friend's back comming clear to his waist he is almost dwarfed in comparison. Much like how Edward felt next to Al. Beneath his jacket, belts stocked with many black blades refused to glisten too strongly in the light, lest give themselves away when thrown, lashed across his chest and around his waist. One such belt slung across his back, the hilt of the sword came up past the neck of his jacket, was a sword with delicate carvings lacing the blade and marking his craftsman ship. A rag was always kept in his pocket for lacing the blade with flammable chemicals. It consumed a lot of energy to thrust fire from your body, or create it from thin air. But if there was already a fire there, or pre-lit, it made fire alchemy a lot easier. Last but not least, stomper boots, white gloves with alchemeic symbols, and silver studded earings completed his outward appearance.

Wess had lived in a small home during the Ishval war, and was always afraid. For you see, he is, and was, Ishvalen. During a small uproar recently, he was part of the civilian army. As the small war was brought to a mind numbing escape on the Ishvalens part, he was injured and brought to central by a nice officer who was impressed with Wess' will power and fighting skills. He now has taken action and is a state alchemist.
.: P e r s o n a l i t y :.
Wess is a rather odd boy with low self worth and pride. He is quite easily startled if you catch him off guard, but seems quite crude and terrible when you first meet him. Most people think poorly of him because of his back ground, but they get over it. He can be smart, witty, outgoing and fun if you are the right person.
