Poor Heroes for Hire.

Still, a good fight, all told.

Ah, ah, ah. They're the Heroes for Rent (or Lease to Own). I suspect that the proper Heroes for Hire would have handed Greed his behind.

yep. the biggest stumbling block to lenny and carl was that they couldn't match greed's defenses nor damage output

Well, that's all fine and good, but heaven help Greed and Fat Tony if they even think about trying that same crap at Moe's...

[Kreuzritter]

Why would they? Moe tends tobe one of Tony's best go-betweens

[Wordmaker]

Rough fight. But I'm surprised at how long Lenny and Carl lasted.

Poor Souls. Of course, we all know that THIS MEANS WAR!

"My memories are the driving force of everything I do..."

Sloth (anime version)

Created specificly for the anime, Sloth is the result of an attempted resurrection, and the youngest of the 7 Sins. As such, she longs to become truly human, and to cast away the memories of the Woman she was created to be. in the meantime, She is the majordomo to the heart of heart of the military conspiracy, and is frequently seen in the company of Wrath

The truth of Sloth is that she was created by ED and Al from the remains of Trisha Elric, their mother. as such, Sloth won't feel complete until she's certain the boys are dead.

design notes: You may notice different rules to Sloth here, and that's because the rest of the sins are being built to their manga equivalents rather than the anime versions. as this sloth is strictly from the anime, she's thus subject to the rules of that series. other than that, she's a prettier version of Professor fathom

tactics: Sloth relies upon her being a creature of water to escape harm, slipping and sliding across the feild while blasting away. however, in addition to a biological need to consume incomplete philosopher's stones, Sloth can be rendered helpless in the prescence of the remains of the woman she was created to be, a fact that leads to her almost certain destruction in the series

Finally updated, Sloth is brought in line with her bretheren and becomes a fair bit meaner as a combatant.

okay, that's 6 down, 1 to go for updating the anime Homunculi

Mercy to the enemy, Armstrong? you'll never get promoted that way."

Fuhrer-President King Bradley

Seemingly a kind if eccentric ruler of Armestris and head of the State military, King Bradley is in fact a violent arrogant man, who has led the State into one war and stands poised to unleash another. and as if that weren't bad enough, Bradley's darkest secrets threaten to send the entire nation down in the searing fires of war....

In truth, King Bradley is the Homonculus Wrath (Pride in the anime), acting under the auspices of the mysterious Father. Already a master Swordsman, Wrath's power, the "Ultimate Eye" allows him to foresee the result of any action taken by himself or his enemies in battle. Wrath's Ouroborous sigil is upon his left eye, concealed behind the patch.

Design notes: let me say it's a nice change to no longer be working on constructs, and instead upon a straight up combat oriented wrecking machine. Naturally, Bradley's nature as President (and his spoiler features) drive up the cost, but hey, he's the freakin' president and one of the baddest cats in the FMA world, what did you expect? thanks again to steve kenson, as I used a fair chunk of Crimson Katana to set him up

Tactics:as president, it's extremely rare for bradley to enter a fight. but when he does...ohhoh...there will be blood, because the man is a close-combat GOD

a significant update, as I bite the bullet and bring the Fuhrer in line with his subordinates. by all rights he probably should be a PL or 2 higher, but by his own admission, he's getting on in years and not as spry as he used to be

Evil ninjas are attacking the President. Are you a bad enough dude to BE the President?

[Thorpacolypse]

Why would they? Moe tends tobe one of Tony's best go-betweens

Oh, I know they wouldn't, I just wanted to throw in the possibily of them having to deal with Barney and Homer in addition to the Heroes for Rent!

Envy

An effeminate figure with a dry wit, Envy has the ability to assume the form of any person and copy their voice. He also displays high agility, feats of superhuman strength when enraged, and the power to manipulate his body to form weapons and poisonous animals such as snakes. He is also a skilled physical fighter, while in the manga, he mainly take advantage from his "true form"'s massive weight to crush the enemy. His anime counterpart use attacks ranging from simple punches and kicks to capoeira-like techniques. Envy is most comfortable in the "adorable" form of a young androgynous human. Envy's most valued contribution(s) to the Homunculi's cause is impersonation, gathering information unnoticed, and using his ability to change form to carry out efficient assassinations. Envy's favored technique for murdering humans is to impersonate someone the target cares deeply for, and use their natural hesitation as the opportunity needed to kill them. Its Ouroboros tattoo was located on its left thigh.

Envy gets so much of an overhaul, i can't even justify my old notes, so obviously the design notes get thrown out as well. While both versions of Envy are true shapechangers, in order to meet his costs I was forced to strip him down to a type-2 morph and restrict his strength bonus to +7

update: unsatisfied with my earlier revision, i've gone back and rebuilt Envy once more, this time to max out his strength

and finally, an Envy I'm more or less satisfied with.

With all this talk of Homunculi and the Military, I thought it fitting to shift gears and show what other career options are out there for would-be Alchemists. in this case, such an option is to become a celebrity jewel thief.

Siren's gadgets require some explanation. Normally, they're just a deck (or four) of playing cards, no different from any other you'd find in a convenience store. however, thanks to the transmutation array incribed on Siren's chest, in her hands they become a deck of very useful things. while unstated, logic presumes any alchemist can make use of them by drawing the right array. the episode in question also revealed Siren's array grants her water-based powers as well, but i'm willing to chalk that up to her ritualist feat, since she relies almost exclusively on her cards

it pains me to say it, but Izumi, teacher of the Elric brothers, Mother of the anime Wrath and all-around bada...er, housewife, will be my last FMA build for the time being. the reason for this is simple: I've run out of key players, with only a minute handful remaining, either too minor or too vague to get stats at this time.

anyway, the idea here is that Izumi is the older, wiser and meaner counterpar to the elric brothers, brought in line by way of her weaknesses. i treated her disability as a complication because the gm can bring that in at any time without warning (with izumi acting hale and healthy until then), but using alchemy WILL bring these effects without question
