creatura / destr0id
Current Characters: Takashi Shirogane, Henry Cheng
IC Info
Name: Roy Mustang
Canon: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Age: 30
Appearance: snap / crackle / pop
Canon Point: Episode 58; "Sacrifices"
Background: FMA: Brotherhood on Wikipedia, and Roy's page on the FMA Wiki
Personality: ✕ On the surface, he presents himself as a pretty shallow, narcissistic jerk with a penchant for womanizing, which has earned him something of a reputation among his peers. Arrogant and cocky with a penchant for sarcasm and a bone-dry sense of humor, the kind of man one might expect to take advantage of a position of power once it's given to him, and appears to act out of his own personal interest as opposed to out of any real desire to be useful. Or do something good for the good of someone else.
✕ He's notoriously lazy, which is not as much of the facade he keeps up with anyone that doesn't know him personally as one might be led to believe; at any given time he can be seen ignoring the stack of paperwork piling up on the corner of his desk, leaving it to the last possible minute and then rushes through it while mumbling to himself in some pretty colorful language. ( As an aside, paperwork is the devil incarnate. )
✓ He has a tendency to think several steps ahead of everyone else around him, able to work through several strategies at once and thus able to convince those around him ( most often his subordinates ) to act in a certain way, led to believe that their actions had been their decision when really it was the power of suggestion. That ultimately gives him the pretty decent power of manipulation, when it comes down to it, but he does use it more for the greater good than he doesn't.
✓ He's a charmer, but also a bit of a shameless flirt, which does nothing but add to his reputation as a womanizer. ( Even if there are no examples in canon of him ever following through with a romantic relationship. There really isn't a whole lot of time for that kind of thing when you're making your way to being the next Fuhrer of Amestris. )
✓ He's endlessly loyal, protective of those he chooses to keep close to him to the point of reckless self-endangerment when it comes to keeping them safe. It might take a bit to earn his trust, but once you've gotten it, you have it indefinitely. Unless you happen to fuck up so badly that he feels that trust is broken. There is no coming back from that.
✕ He can become obsessed with things like vengeance, the need for judgment to be passed and justice served, which means he errs more toward acting impulsively than rationally, and becomes so blinded by his own need for it that he loses sight of the bigger picture. This is why it's always in his best interest to keep someone around that does well with playing the voice of reason, of logic, when he finds himself with a one-track mind. ( Cough, Lieutenant Hawkeye, c o u g h. )
✓ His ambition to make his way up the chain of command, all the way to Fuhrer is because he wants to make the country a better place for its people; he cares deeply about Amestris, wants the nation to flourish while also atoning for the wrongs done to the Ishvalan people, and he has committed himself to doing everything in his power to see that happen, no matter what it takes.
Weaknesses/Temptations: He will do anything ( short of human transmutation ) to keep Riza Hawkeye out of harm's way; he's known her for the majority of his life and she's followed him through every single one of his endeavors, whether they seem self-serving or for a greater purpose. Put her in a compromising situation? Ninety-nine-point-nine percent certainty he'll do whatever you want. ( This goes for anyone under his command, or anyone he keeps close to him, but the lieutenant is on a level all her own. )
He's also partial to good whiskey and the opportunity for a nap longer than five minutes. And pretty women. He's only human, after all, and a male at that.
Sins: ✕ murder
✕ arson
✕ arrogance
✕ wrath
✕ recklessness
✕ sloth
✕ using his alchemy for the sake of personal gain ( to get dates! of all things! )
Powers/Abilities: ✓ Flame alchemy; extensive training has given him the ability to manipulate the concentration of oxygen in the air, to create a spark with the snap of his fingers and the aid of the custom-tailored ignition gloves he always has on hand. ( No pun intended, I promise. ) He is capable of both large-scale explosions and pinpoint aiming, which makes him deadly at any range.
✓ On top of his specialization in flame alchemy, he's also proficient with physical transmutation and biological alchemy.
✓ Thanks to his training within the military, he is well-versed in numerous manners of combat, though he's more often seen making use of his alchemy than he is fighting physically. Unless he has no other choice. ( Like, say, it's raining and he can't make a spark, or something happens to his gloves. )
✓ He's a skilled tactician and all-around excellent problem-solver, intelligent in a way that is often downplayed when he's working with the facade of being a shallow jerkface.
Items: ✓ extra pairs of ignition gloves
✓ notepad and fountain pen
✓ pocketwatch that denotes his status as a state alchemist

→ He also has a tendency to act impulsively when he's being a cocky little shit, though it's less severe than when he's chasing down that aforementioned vengeance; he can talk a big game and can generally follow through flawlessly, but let us take into consideration, for a moment, when he rushed at Scar in the middle of a downpour like he was expecting to do anything other than sizzle. If not for Hawkeye's quick thinking and follow-through, he absolutely would have gotten his head 'sploded. You're useless in the rain, colonel. Please remember that.
