personality.on the surface, Edward displays an immature sort of personality. he is decidedly stubborn and strong-willed, frequently letting his pettiness and vindictiveness get the better of him. he is somewhat selfish and self-absorbed, generally acting more out of self-interest than any sort of philanthropy as well as taking several opportunities to stroke his own ego or flaunt the governmental power and monetary license of his military position. edward is also rather quick-tempered, resorting more often to steel-fisted violence than calm negotiation to settle disputes.
history. edward lived with his mother, his father and his younger brother alphonse. when he was very young, his father abandoned his family. his father was a skilled alchemist and his books taught edward and alphonse. it was just alphose, edward and his mother for a while. one day, alphonse and edward came home to their mother dead on the floor. wanting more than ever to get their mother back, edaward and aphonse decided to try and recreate her; a human transmutation. instead of creating their mother, they created a monster and just creating it wasn't even enough. the transmutation made edward loose his right arm and left leg. alphonse lost his whole body. a colonel heard about the transmutation and came to edward, offering him to become a state alchemist. he took it and now is the full metal alchemist.
powers.despite Edward's small stature and young age, he is a remarkable combatant. as suggested by his unprecedented acceptance into the state alchemist program at such a remarkably young age, edward elric is an alchemical prodigy of genius level intellect. from early childhood, he displayed proficiency for alchemy, acquiring self-taught alchemy skills and comprehension from the advanced literature in his father's abandoned study at an age that shocked even his mother. having incorporated alchemy into his life during his developmental stages, edward sees the world alchemically and is therefore able to solve complicated codes, puzzles and mysteries much more easily than normal. edward became one of the few alchemists who do not require a drawn transmutation circle to perform alchemical transmutations. by merely touching his palms together, he creates an energy circulation with his arms and transmutes by using his own will as a substitute for the necessary runes. this remarkable talent makes his transmutations both instantaneous and incredibly versatile, allowing him to use alchemy to its fullest potential in direct combat.
