GENERAL:

★ In Character

☆ PHYSICAL AFFECTION/HUGGING/KISSING ETC: Ed is a very stand-offish character when it comes to physical affection, so do not expect this to be well received. Friends have gotten away with hugs and a kiss on the cheek.

☆ FLIRTING: Ed is going to get very awkward, so if your character enjoys blushing, I guess have at it.
☆ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: He's from a canon where fighting is the norm, but please discuss it with me if your character plans to attack him.
☆ INJURY: I'm all for injury in a fight, having artificial limbs means Ed can come out of some more severe "injuries" mostly unharmed as long as a mechanic can fix him up. Again, this would require discussion.
☆ KILLING THIS CHARACTER: I've done it before, but I would prefer to avoid it unless there's a specific plot related reason.
In games where revival from death is not an option I will not be killing him permanently.
☆ RELATIONSHIPS: Ed is not an easy ship! I always say if it develops naturally, it'll happen.

In summary: ed's like, "my heart forever belongs to al. and that doesn't sound weird at all." - quote courtesy of

hardededged

In all seriousness though, Ed's still vaguely preoccupied with someone from another game so he might be hard to get into a committed relationship. He's also more experienced which means more comfortable with things like flirting and physical affection than might be expected.

☆ PSYCHIC/PSIONIC/MINDREADING/TELEPATHY: He's a normal human being with normal human limits. He can't use or block these abilities, please discuss with me first if you intend to do this.
☆ MAGICAL INFORMATION: Ed's an alchemist, what he considers science your character may consider magic.
☆ MEDICAL INFORMATION: For anyone that doesn't know, Ed has two metal prosthetic limbs. He wears full length sleeves and gloves to cover them, but he's not so secretive to go out of his way to conceal them. If your character is perceptive enough to pick up on this or has a super human ability that would detect it, feel free to notice! He's also covered in scars, but that's not unusual.
☆ CHARACTERS THAT CAN DETECT DEATH: Ed was shot in a previous game (he has not yet died at this point in canon), let me know if your character would be aware of this or if you need more details etc.
☆ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Ed has some pretty weird triggers thanks to previous game history. Sometimes I still find myself surprised by new things I hadn't expected. He pretty much refuses to drink tea and won't even discuss eating crab (long story), he's had time to get over some of his major canon triggers - like talking animals - most topics are things he can generally handle.
☆ ANYTHING ELSE? His personality info, if you want the TL;DR version.
Feel free to overreact to his alchemy or automail. He's used to it.

☆ Important Appearance Info

☆ 2003 VS MANGA INFO For those of you manga/Brotherhood familiar, (especially those canon blind to 2003):

- '03 Ed does not have the same gaudy gothic tastes as his manga counterpart.
- In fact, many of their personality traits are vastly different.
- Ed has a scar on his abdomen similar to manga Ed's due to an in-game event that resulted in another character attacking him
- I borrow some manga canon stuff that isn't explicitly stated/explored in the '03 series as "head canon" as long as it makes sense/isn't contradicted in '03 canon. (for instance, Ed's nightmares and pain in the rain etc.)
- If you're curious about anything there or something seems contradictory in that it only applies to manga Ed in canon, that may be why.
- I am always happy to discuss/explain any of these topics!

If you have any questions about what your character is looking at or should experience, please feel free to contact me before tagging.

★ Out of Character

☆ BACKTAGGING: Yes, I suffer migraines and can go a few days between tags so I am SUPER back tag friendly! Please let me know if this will be an issue for you and you'd rather discuss/drop a thread!
☆ THREADHOPPING: Please discuss first.
☆ FOURTHWALLING: No thanks.
☆ ANYTHING ELSE? ~~Ed doesn't so much have a Milotic, as one kind of follows him around and checks up on him on occasion~~. Ed now officially has a Milotic, so chances are characters won't see it anymore, since he keeps it in a ball. If you'd like to thread with any of Ed's pets, please let me know!

CRAU PERMISSIONS!

Before Riverview Ed spent several years in other worlds (games), allowing him the luxury of learning about how this sort of thing works in advance and giving him the opportunity to make friends with some people he would not have otherwise met.

As such if your character existed before 2012, it is possible that Ed may have met a version of them in one of his previous situations. He's seen enough people come and go without memories to realize that someone he recognizes may not know him (and likely doesn't) - but this is where you, as the player, can opt in or out of Ed recognizing your character. Obviously, he doesn't know every character that's canon existed before 2012 but it's easier to have people opt in/out with those characters than for me to try to remember off the top of my head every character that he might recognize. I might remember someone sometime later that I don't today, for instance. If I know for certain that Ed would know your character I will contact you directly, however if I do not contact you and you wish to opt in or out of recognition, please comment below.

This is going to be broken down into three options, please comment and let me know the following:

- If you would prefer that Ed treat your character as if they have never met, even if he knows them.
- If you would be okay with your character knowing that Ed recognizes them, but not much more specific.
- If you would allow Ed to discuss with your character that he was once friends with a version of them, and the details of that friendship.

Due to Ed's canon and game history there are many subjects that might be uncomfortable for other players to discuss. If you have any issues with the following topics, please feel free to mention them here or opt-out of threading completely. If you're not interested in threading with any of my characters please list your information below and remove 'with this character' from the text box.

Should you be particularly interested in exploring specific topics, simply change Opt-out to Opt-in for your comment

Edward's canon point is the beginning of episode 48 "Goodbye" in the '03 anime, he appears 22 due to being a CRAU.
Ed is full grown (COS height, which I figure to be 5'4) and still wears the red soled black boots from canon, making him appear closer to 5'5-5'6" for reference.
His hair is still worn in a braid, not up in a ponytail, but it is considerably longer than even COS length.
If you're aware of the famous red coat, he doesn't wear it, Al does. Ed mostly just sports the black outfits seen underneath.

If you have any questions about what your character is looking at or should experience, please feel free to contact me before tagging
