Edward Elric Story

After their mother’s death, Ed and Al attempt human transmutation — a taboo that costs Ed his left leg and arm, and Al his entire body. Binding Al’s soul to armor, Ed joins the military at 12 to access forbidden research.

His odyssey:

• Search for the Stone: Uncovers military corruption.
• Homunculi War: Battles Father’s sins, sacrifices alchemy to save Al.
• Epilogue: Lives peacefully in Resembool with Winry and kids.

Ed’s tale is one of sacrifice, redemption, and equivalent exchange.

Personality Traits

Ed is brash, loyal, and fiercely intelligent:

• Short-Tempered – Explodes at “short” jokes.
• Selfless – Puts Al and friends above himself.
• Philosophical – Lives by “equivalent exchange”.
• Growth – Learns humility, rejects godhood.
