Standing at about 5'4" (5'8" with the horns), Ed is a short, irritable young man that is at least vaguely attractive when he isn't baring his fangs at everything. He has glowing gold eyes with goat pupils and long blonde hair usually held back in a pony tail. He also has an annoying little beard on his chin, which does not stop being a thing no matter how much he shaves. His ears are long and furred, often flicking around in reaction to the sounds around him, and two ridged black horns grow out of the top of his head. Edward's body has become ridiculously well-sculpted, the dense muscles making him nearly as heavy as he had been with steel automail. Reddish-orange fur covers his shoulders, back, legs, and lower arms, with a pattern of black going down the edges of his back and shoulder fur and wrapping around to the sides of his thighs. There is also a triangular patch of brighter orange fur between his shoulder blades that blends into the red. Most of it is shaggy and wiry in texture aside from the finer coat on his hands which is much softer. His palms and fingers have thick pads of black skin and his fingernails are black as well, growing oddly into the shape of claws. They aren't actually effective as such, more for show than anything else. His legs have become more like those of a bull, and his feet have changed to cloven hooves. His tail is long and thin, tufted at the end with blonde hair like that on his head. While he does have a set of clothing like what he wore in Munich, Ed often wears more grungy clothing these days, and is particularly fond of a black leather vest with silver spikes on the shoulders which he is rarely seen without. AS OF NOVEMBER 1ST, 2015 Edward has a glowing red rune of the the Flamel Cross on his upper right arm. It normally glows only faintly, but grows brighter when he becomes agitated or excited. In his fog form the rune changes to be several alchemical circles burned into his arms, chest, and forehead, all of which leak wax just like his horns. AS OF NOVEMBER 15TH, 2015 Edward has grown in a pair of large, bat-like wings with a very fine pelt of fur. They are big and annoying and make shirts nearly impossible. AS OF JUNE 17TH, 2016 Edward's tail has grown to be approximately five to six feet in length and is also prehensile. The fluffy tuft on the end remains. Fog Form Under the effects of Ryslig's fog, Edward becomes far more monstrous and intimidating. While he doesn't grow in height he is far more bulky, looking like Armstrong hopped up on steroids. His head shifts to become that of a goat, with his normal horns growing larger and a second, smaller set growing in behind. His eyes look more like two glowing coals, dark with a burning red center and his arms grow longer to the point that his wrists are even with his knees when fully upright, though he is more often hunched over in this form. Edward's hair becomes a mane that grows down his spine to the base of his tail, limp and ragged. Fur spreads to cover his whole body, and the flesh of his muzzle, lower legs, and elbows are burned and scorched away to reveal the bone beneath. The ends of all four of his horns are alight with a mysterious fire, and they drip with black wax as if they were candles. He is far more volatile like this, his prey drive jacked up to eleven and prone to instigating fights at the drop of a hat. Travel Form His travel form is much more innocent looking, a below-average sized goat that would be perfectly normal if not for his unnatural coloration and ability to talk. Much to his embarrassment he is in fact a 'fainting goat', and will fall over stiff if he's startled while in this form. If he changes into this form in the fog, he still retains the burning tips to his horns and constantly smells of burned fur. MONSTER POWERS Strong like bull goat As a minotaur, Edward is stronger than any other monster type and can run for miles without getting tired. He's pulled more than a few doors off their hinges my accident. Bovine GPS It is nearly impossible for Edward to get lost, and so long as he has a vague idea of the place he needs to find he can make his way to it with minimal unnecessary detours. Just don't move Edward's sense of hearing and night-vision have drastically improved, to the point that loud music is actually rather uncomfortable for him. His also highly aware of any movement within his line of sight--good luck sneaking around him. A one man band He has gained a supernatural skill with any musical instrument, and is able to play like a professional even if he hasn't ever seen a particular instrument in his life. His music is also vaguely hypnotic to regular humans, though he tries to not take advantage of this. MONSTER WEAKNESSES Obligatory Hannibal joke goes here Like any other monster, Edward needs to feed on humans, specifically their flesh. If he doesn't eat enough each month, he will start to grow unstable. Temper, temper Already an irritable individual, as a minotaur Edward is even more liable to pick fights and get angry, even about ridiculous things. He holds grudges for a long time, and doesn't forgive easily. Turn it down! As a side-effect of his enhanced hearing, any loud high-pitched noise will give Ed a splitting headache, debilitating him and leaving him helpless for as long as it goes on. OTHER ABILITIES Karate Kid Edward is a very skilled fighter, and is a master of hand-to-hand combat. Even against those of greater strength than his, he is able to hold his own. The Fullmetal Alchemist As an alchemist he has a genius ability with chemistry as well, and knows the chemical compounds of most common materials (and many uncommon ones). While he can't clap and put things together anymore, he can very easily mix together complex chemicals so long as he has a decent lab.
