CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character Name: Edward Elric
Age: 18
Canon: Fullmetal Alchemist
Canon Point: pre-Conqueror of Shamballa
Character Information: Here.
Personality:
Upon first glance Edward comes off as a head-strong, arrogant, and incredibly stubborn young man. He is quick to make judgements and, while he is a good person at heart, tends to butt heads with anyone that disagrees with him. His temper can often get the best of him, landing him in trouble when a more mild approach would have easily avoided it. He isn't a complete fire-brand, however, and is certainly capable of patience and calm when it is needed--most often his irritable side comes out with personalities similar to his.
Ed is an incredibly brilliant scientist and a prodigy alchemist. At ten years old he and his brother were able to survive an attempt at human transmutation, something that even adults that had studied all their life could not even attempt, and the next year Edward became a State Alchemist. His understanding of science, especially chemistry, seems almost instinctive but really is a combination of intense study and a lightning-fast intellect. Ed has been known to make astounding leaps of logic, making connections that would not even occur to many others. Because of this he can get impatient with others who cannot keep up with his mental pace, and doesn't tend to collaborate well on any projects.
Despite his prickly exterior, Ed is a very caring and compassionate person. While he will quite readily bicker and pick arguments with people, he doesn't try to hurt people out of malice and when he realizes he has generally tries his best to make up for it. He offers help where he can, often just dropping a favor into someone's lap and refusing any thanks in return for it. This can be at odds sometimes with his prideful and somewhat self-important nature, but more often those aspects of him come out to hide his insecurities and hurts; in his most personal moments he is always kind and gentle, trying his best to help the people he cares about.
His thick head tends to get him into a lot of trouble, however. When Edward gets an idea into his head he holds onto it like a hungry dog on a bone, sometimes even in the face of evidence that whatever it is is clearly wrong. It can be both his greatest asset and his worst weakness all at the same time--while he would never achieve some of his most amazing feats without sticking things out in the face of waves of opposition, he also hurt people by refusing to give up on certain ideas (partially out of a fear of what him being wrong would mean for what he had already done). He can be reasoned with, of course, and on certain subjects he can be argued over to another side, but more often than not getting Ed off a certain trajectory is like pulling a moving train off its tracks.
At his core Edward is a kind and incredibly loyal person, doing everything he can to protect and take care of those he cares about. The line between friend and family is often blurred for him, and while his often standoffish Ed will always stand by someone if they have gained his loyalty. For him, betrayals cut deep and people who abuse a relationship will very quickly gain his ire. He often even feels an attachment to people he has just met, and frequently during his journey across Amestris stepped in to help someone that was hurting for no other reason than because he could. As he got older he realized and accepted that he can't help everyone, but he still tries to help where he can.
His little brother, Alphonse, is quite literally the center of his world. They've been tied at the hip ever since they were little, and the trials of their life have only made that bond stronger; unhealthily so, to some eyes. Ed would do anything to protect his little brother, up to and including sacrificing his body and soul in order for Al to be restored to a human body. Al is his stabilizing force, calming and grounding him when he gets too hot for others to handle, and in turn Ed does his best to make sure Al is safe and happy. Of course they have fights and arguments like any pair of siblings, but in the end they will always need eachother.
