Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)/Characters/Three: Difference between revisions

This is a short summary page for characters from the ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' manga series and its anime adaptation ''Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood''. '''Note''': For the page about the characters from the first anime, see [[Fullmetal Alchemist Anime(anime)/Characters|Fullmetal Alchemist Anime]].

* [[Death Byby Irony]]: {{spoiler|In the manga and ''Brotherhood'', all seven of Father's creations are defeated in ways that reflect each of their respective deadly sins they represent!}}

* [[Powered Byby a Forsaken Child]]: More like powered by a forsaken population of countless souls

* [[Abusive Parents]]: Burning Greed alive in a vat of molten metal, for one thing. He raises his children specifically to act as pawns in his plan.

* [[The Chessmaster]]: With four hundred years of planning behind him.

* {{spoiler|[[Loin Cloth]]}}

* [[Name's the Same]]: No, he's not the [[Big Bad]] from ''[[Codename Kids Next Door (Animation)|Codename: Kids Next Door]]'', although their roles in their respective series are surprisingly similar.

* [[Satan]]: {{spoiler|He is the secret chief commander of [[The Illuminati|a deep shadow cult conspiracy]] using a country run by a military industrial dictatorship with a [[Powered Byby a Forsaken Child|sinisterly]]-[[Manipulative Bastard|manipulated]] source of prosperity and power, [[Diabolical Mastermind|ALL essentially his doing]]. In spite of being responsible for all of the known mass bloodshed within the series universe, few know that he or his [[Ancient Conspiracy|conspiracy]] even exists. His [[Eldritch Abomination|seed homunculi]], surrounded in [[Esoteric Motifs|occult symbolism]] the whole nine yards, largely born as the results and [[Anthropomorphic Personification|walking icons]] of [[Seven Deadly Sins|every single vice]] known to man and to his own personality, refer to him as "Father". He's about ten insidious layers of [[Light Is Not Good|misguiding light]], and that's putting it mildly. The King of Xerxes made a [[Deal Withwith the Devil|deal with him]] to become immortal at the expense of the freedom of every soul in his own entire nation only to [[Unwitting Pawn|quickly find out the hard way]] [[Rewarded Asas a Traitor Deserves|how Faustian it really was for himself]], and Solf J. Kimblee is heavily implied to have wagered his own soul in a way just to see how the homunculi's games would play out; knowing this makes it fairly easy to connect the dots about all the main officers in Central Command. Still not convinced this guy's pretty much the ''FMA'' version of the "morning star"? Fine. '''His ultimate goal/desire is to conquer and replace [[God]].'''}}

* [[A Plague Onon Both Your Houses]]: {{spoiler|To Roy}}.

* [[The Baroness]]: Sexpot version. She even seduces Havoc.

* {{spoiler|[[Death Byby Irony]]: Burned to death by [[Mr. Fanservice]] when she was about to kill the woman who almost certainly has a [[Bodyguard Crush]] on him.}}

* [[Evil Genius]]: She's probably the best at manipulating people and one of the more strategic of the Homunculi.

* {{spoiler|[[Kill It Withwith Fire]]: Roy roasts her repeatedly till her stone runs out. Just as her lance was an inch from spiking through his head.}}

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: What would you expect with [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|a name like that?]]

* [[Opposite SexGender Clone]]: To an extent. There's some [[Fan Disservice]] when you notice how she has some of Father's features.

* [[Sarcasm Mode]]: Switches to this frequently: "Oh no, did I get your ignition gloves all wet? Silly me."

* [[The Vamp]]

* [[Vapor Wear]]

* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: Scar once exhausted his [[Healing Factor]] and killed him for real. However, Father was nearby and able to ressurect him with all his memories without much trouble.

* [[Beast and Beauty]]: With Lust. It's not [[Brother-Sister Incest|romantic]], though.

* {{spoiler|[[Death Byby Irony]]: Eaten by Pride.}}

* [[One-Winged Angel]]: His chest can open up in a fanged mouth. Unusual for the trope is that he can change back.

* [[Villainous Glutton]]: Well, ''[[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|duh]]''.

{{quote| Voiced by: [[Mayumi Yamaguchi]] (JP - 2003 Anime), [[Minami Takayama]] (JP - 2009 Anime), [[Wendy Powell]] (EN)}}

* {{spoiler|[[Death Byby Irony]]: [[Driven to Suicide|Commits Suicide]] when Ed realizes why Envy is... "Envy."}}

* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: Its attempts at being cordial only underscore the fact that it doesn't give a shit about the other character's hatred.

* [[For the Evulz]]

* {{spoiler|[[Humiliation Conga]]}} {{spoiler|[[Out-Gambitted]] into its fetus form and carried around. Moments after regaining its powerful form its hunted by Mustang. Then driven to suicide by Ed pointing its fatal flaw.}}

* [[Kick the Dog]]: Constantly and enjoys it immensely.

* [[Say It Withwith Hearts]]

{{quote| Voiced by: [[Junichi Suwabe]] (JP - 2003 Anime) [[Yuuichi Nakamura]] (JP - 2009 Anime), [[Chris Patton]] (EN), {{spoiler|[[Troy Baker]] (Second Greed, EN)}}}}

* [[Affably Evil]]: He's undeniably the most polite, classy, and the least violent Homunculus of all. Greed even once showed some condolence towards Al when given the false impression that "the brother that attached his soul to the armor" was actually dead and was a touchy subject.

* {{spoiler|[[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: An unusual variant as Father "absorbed" him and then later injected him into Ling. At first you could think of the second incarnation as a different person, with Greed himself trying to assert that, but he eventually regains the first one's memories.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Death Byby Irony]]: Greed 1 was boiled down for his most valuable part.}}

** {{spoiler|Greed 2 died performing a selfless act and, in his last words, stated that he had gotten all that he could ever want.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Defiant to Thethe End]]: He mocks Father and his siblings and laughs like a madman as Father kills him}}.

* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]/[[Hidden Heart of Gold]]: He's a selfish greedy (well, it's his NAME) bastard for sure, but he's also shown to genuinely care for his subordinates and he does have a sense of honor.... even if he tries his very hardest to deny it or justify it as his way of keeping his "possessions" in top condition. Also worth noting is that by having the chimeras work for him, he was accepting those who would've very likely otherwise been shunned from society.

* [[A Lady Onon Each Arm]]: How he's introduced.

* [[Noble Demon]]: Greed is obviously far from a saint (seeing as he's supposed to be the embodiment of a ''SIN''), but he's the only Homunculus willing to work with the good guys as long as it suits his ends. He's so obsessed with his own desires that senseless murder in Father's name doesn't interest him, as anything that he could help Father get Greed would rather obtain for himself. {{spoiler|Not to mention the fact that Wrath killed Greed's minions means that Greed has a bone to pick with Wrath, and by extension is against all the other homunculi as well}}. He also has a code of honor that none of the other Homunculi seem to have.

* [[The Other Darrin]]: He's voiced by [[Chris Patton]] until {{spoiler|he's reborn in Ling's body (which sort of justifies the trope considering he is in a new body with different vocal chords)}}, after which he's replaced with [[Troy Baker]]. Greed's voice remains unchanged throughout in Japanese; the switch was necessitated by Patton leaving the voice business.

* {{spoiler|[[Redemption Equals Death|Redemption Equals]] [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: His final death can be seen as this for Ling. When Father absorbs Greed into his arm, Greed has Lan Fan chop it off so a) Father can't possibly absorb Ling as well anymore and b) so he can [[Taking You Withwith Me|wreak havoc in Father's body]].}}

* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: {{spoiler|While Ling and Lan Fan lay the hurt on Gluttony in the dark, Greed sits back inside Ling and watches, commenting on how Ling's "quite the stud, having a fine woman like her hidden away"}}

* [[Slasher Smile]]: In his normal form, he has unusually pointy teeth which very much resembles those of a shark, but he arguably has a friendly version of this; his Ultimate Shield form is a more traditional example (it has no lips, so his teeth are always on display).

* [[True Companions]]: What he, no matter how he denies it, had with his chimeric "possessions" before their deaths. {{spoiler|And ultimately, the one thing he desired the most.}}

* [[Villains Never Lie]]: "It's my policy to always tell the truth".

* [[White Sheep]]: The only homunculus who isn't either a casual murderer or psychopath, nor does he see particularly see humans as beneath him.

* [[Chained Byby Fashion]]

* {{spoiler|[[Death Byby Irony]]: Worn out after a long fight.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Impaled Withwith Extreme Prejudice]]}}

* [[Made of Titanium]]: On top of the standard homunculus [[Healing Factor]], to boot. Anything less than a tank round won't even put a mark on him.

{{spoiler|Actually Fuhrer Bradley. The first Homunculus to be created from a human and not from scratch. The puppet through whom Father rules Amestris. For more information, see [[Fullmetal Alchemist (Mangamanga)/Two/Characters/Two|Fullmetal Alchemist Two]].}}

{{quote| Voiced by: {{spoiler|[[Yuko Sanpei]] (JP), [[Brittney Karbowski]] (EN)}}}}

* {{spoiler|[[Death Byby Irony]]: Massively underestimates both his opponent and someone who he'd [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|absorbed]], and consequently gets his own attack turned back on him. [[Pride Before a Fall]] indeed.}}

* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: Turns out {{spoiler|absorbing [[The Sociopath|Kimblee]]}} wasn't a good idea.

* [[Hypocrite]]: For all his talks about how worthless humans are, he at the end is willing to {{spoiler|steal Edward's body}} just to escape his predicament, to keep himself from dying.

* {{spoiler|[[Loss of Identity]]: After his "death", he is essentially reborn with the mind of an innocent child.}}

* [[Paranoia Fuel]]: [[In -Universe]] example for Riza Hawkeye.

* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: Subtly has this with Wrath.

* [[Shapeshifter Baggage]]: Seemingly played straight, unlike Envy above. Drawing his shadow back into his "container" doesn't seem to affect his weight or mass at all, despite the fact that the shadow itself is large enough to extend throughout the tunnel of the nationwide transmutation circle.

* [[Tareme Eyes]]/[[Tsurime Eyes]]: {{spoiler|Physical eye difference from Selim to Pride}}

* [[Undying Loyalty]]: Nearly every single thing he does, he does to further Father's plan.

* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: [[Weakened Byby the Light|Bright flashes of light can hurt him]] and his shadow-based powers are useless in complete darkness and outside of the national transmutation circle and Central Area.

{{quote| Voiced by: Bon Ishihara (JP), Mark Stoddard (EN)}}

* {{spoiler|[[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: Taken out by about seven of his own creations, all of whom hated him.}}

* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]: That picture up there.

** And what's behind those glasses? [[Nightmare Retardant|Derp eyes]]. Except these ones are NOT funny in the slightest.
