Ed fma11/6/2023 ![]() which describes Ed exactly! Ed's HeightĮd's height is mentioned in the manga as being 165cm, but that's from the bottom of his boots to the tip of his spiky hair, so not his actual height. ![]() In time, he develops a sense of sarcasm to try to fight the fear.Īpparently, in Japan the term "Full Metal" means a very stubborn person. ![]() Being so young, he still hasn't seen the depths of human depravity, and each new dive into the dark side of humanity frightens him. If there's a weakness in Edward, it's in his naivety. In addition, Edward can transmute his prosthetic arm into any of an assortment of weapons to suit the occasion. His tough automail arm and leg can deal some serious damage and can provide nice protection from physical attack. In addition to his alchemy skills, Edward can also kick serious butt. The problem is compounded by the fact that Edward is short for his age, so some people think he's younger than Alphonse (when he's actually a year older). Roy Mustang, and in exchange for answering to him and following his orders, he searches for the Philosopher's Stone in between his assignments and reports on his findings.īecause he's always in the company of his brother Alphonse (who is now just a suit of armor), people sometimes mistake Alphonse for the Fullmetal Alchemist. As a result, he has amassed a reputation throughout the land, and this notoriety becomes a potential liability because people start gunning for him: not necessarily because of his identity but also because he's a State Alchemist (or "Military Dog" as some state-haters would call him). He is able to perform alchemy without the help of a Transmutation Circle or Array: normally a requirement (it was in fact that feat that made him worthy of the State Alchemists). Besides his incredible skill for his age and proficiency with weapons, Edward has one other secret that shows his genius. Because he wears automail, he was given the title "Fullmetal Alchemist" by Fuhrer King Bradley when he became a State Alchemist (all State Alchemists are given such titles). Obviously, Edward is a top-notch alchemist now at the age of 15. It's Edward's wish to find the stone and use it to restore his limbs and Alphonse's body. With it, it is said, one's power over alchemy rises to divine levels, allowing one to bypass the limitations of alchemy, including Equivalent Exchange. Though Edward is reluctant to join the State Alchemists (which is essentially part of the Army), he becomes one so he can research the Central archives for a possible solution: the Philosopher's Stone. Just about a year after the accident, at the age of 12, Edward became the youngest certified State Alchemist in history. Recovering from his failure, Edward pushes forward with his pursuit of alchemy with a new goal: undoing the damage wrought upon himself and his brother. His right arm was lost in a desperate move to prevent the soul of his brother (who lost his whole body in the attempt) from being lost forever.Īfter the incident, Edward was fitted with an automail arm and leg (automail is a special bio-mechanical prosthesis that can move at the wearer's will, enabling virtually full function). Edward gave of his own body in the attempt, losing his left leg up to the thigh. What they learned-disastrously-is that some things just can't be measured. You cannot create something from nothing.Įdward and Alphonse knew of Equivalent Exchange and thought they had everything figured out. The most basic principle of alchemy is that of Equivalent Exchange: for everything, there is a price. However, alchemy still obeys the principles of nature. Seeing no other alternative, the two of them attempted to revive their dead mother using what they knew: the science of alchemy. When Edward and his brother Alphonse were just boys, their mother succumbed to an illness.
