History
Edward Elric grew up with a simple life, but was also a prodigal alchemist, thanks to studying the notes of his father, Van Hohenheim. However, after his mother died of illness, he and his brother Alphonse swore to bring her back. They were then struck with the idea of using alchemy to resurrect her, but attempting such a taboo art came at a horrible cost. Not only did the process fail, but Ed lost his left leg, and Alphonse lost his entire body. Acting in desperation, Ed alchemically bound his brother's soul to a suit of armor at the cost of his own arm and began a new quest to simply restore their bodies. Later on, Ed was visited by Lt. Colonel Roy Mustang, who offered him the chance to join the military and become a State Alchemist. With the application of automail prosthetics, Ed and Al then joined the military to continue their efforts to regain what they had sacrificed, facing new threats and learning dark secrets along the way.
