A man reached into his pocket, pulling out a pack of cigarettes. He tapped the end on his wrist, opened it up, and pulled one out. He slipped the pack back into his pocket and glanced up. In front of him was a burning building. The man, standing watching the fire, was blindfolded, looking to be in his mid-30's. He held the cigarette up to the fire, letting it light, and brought it back, slipping it in to his mouth.
The building was a library. It wasn't an ordinary library, but far from being a special one. The library was full of books on Alchemy. The man pulled the cigarette out of his mouth, letting out a puff of smoke, before placing it back. He turned around. Littered around him were bodies. Bodies of Alchemists.
He began walking down the path...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plot - There's a man travelling around (He's so not Scar.) killing state alchemists, and destroying all evidence of Alchemy. Why? Nobody knows...
Requirements - I just require that you have at least the basic understandment of FMA. I.E, watch a lot of the episodes. If you opt to join, and I'm not for certain you've seen them, I'll ask Silver (Because he's more smarter about it than me) to give them a Basic FMA quiz, just to see what they know. If thats all right with silver.
Profile - The following things are required. There are optional things to add, continued at bottom of this.
Name -
Gender -
Age -
Text Color -
Occupation -
Optional Profile Addons -
If your character is an alchemist, put "Alchemist" in occupation (Duh)
If your character is in the military, add "Military Rank" to your profile.
If your character is an alchemist and in the military, add "State Alchemist Title" to your profile.
If your character has attempted Human Transmutation (Shame on you), add "Defect" to your profile (By Defect, I mean whats wrong, like Ed had the automail arm and leg), and in Parenthesis, add what Homonculi your character created (Pride is taken, for reasons unknown...) This timeline is different from the actual FMA timeline, therefore our Homonculi are different than the actual show's. And if you notice I spelt Homonculi wrong, then your probably Silver or Stevenson. If I spelt it right, then yay.

Occupation - Alchemist
Military Rank - Lt.
State Alchemist Title - "Ice Prince Alchemist"
Defect (Envy) - Kesuke was trying to resurrect his younger brother, Tsaku. The attempt failed and Kesuke lost his left arm in the process. The only identifying mark on the arm is on top of the hand. It's a scar in the form of a transmutation circle. Kesuke doesn't know it yet, but Envy (Tsaku) now has the arm.
(MK, it's homunculi. Hehe. ^ ^)

How come I wasn't made aware of this, huh? What if I didn't intend to join this roleplay at all? ...No, I didn't believe that for a second, either. I also don't believe that I'm not the one that started this roleplay. Or that MK just said 'more smarter'. Silver is now offering grammar lessons, free of charge...If you opt to join, and I'm not for certain you've seen them, I'll ask Silver (Because he's more smarter about it than me) to give them a Basic FMA quiz, just to see what they know. If thats all right with silver.
Well, as one who watched all 51 episodes over a period of 2 days, has beaten the DS game 5 times now, still stays up to watch FMA at 12:30 on Adult Swim, and is a freaking Risembool Ranger (RED DAWN), I'm fine with administering a quiz. *Begins plotting out super-impossible questions that only people as obviously obsessed as I am could ever hope to answer* *mayonnaise'd for being nefarious*
*Re-uses characters from a Private Message roleplay with Opal that definitely don't want to be Ed and Al* *Needs to stop using asterisks now* *Yes, I know this is getting old, but it's addicting!*
Name - Silver Smith
Gender - Male
Age - 15
Text Color - Gray
Occupation - Alchemist
Military Rank - Major
State Alchemist Title - Avian Alchemist
Defect - Well... he got out of there unscathed... but he had a hand in the creation of Sloth (definitely don't want to be Ed and Al... hey, when we read the Scarlet Letter in English, the project at the end was to make our own letter that reflected our greatest fault... I and my friend that now seems to have cancer both basically chose laziness. I couldn't bring myself to create any other homunculi...)
Name - Argyros Avaris
Gender - Male
Age - 16
Text Color - Green
Occupation - Alchemist
Defect - Well... he's kind of a bird. Here's how it works. Argyros and Silver attempt human transmutation. The gate decides Argyros tastes better. It does, however, leave his soul clinging to what's left of him. Silver says, "Well that didn't work. And I don't think any amount of prosthetics will help Argyros there. Time to pretend to be Majahal! I shall sacrifice torn-in-half-style Argyros in order to attach his soul to this conveniently placed pet bird! I can do that, right? Envy never seems to have any problems resurrecting birds for no adequately explained reason... even if they do drop dead a few minutes later." ...Ok, so I don't think those were his exact words, but it was something like that. I'm just making sure this is all scientifically explainable.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Hmph. As long as Silver's going to criticize grammar, I may as well get in on it....
You mean, "me and my friend" or "my friend and I". "I and my friend" is incorrent, I believe.
Name: Stevenson Beltino {because I know I'll eventually start calling him that through a lapsus linguae, may as well cut it off at the pass.}
Gender -:Male
Age - 27
Text Color - Orange.
Occupation - Alchemist
Military Rank - Lt. Colonel....not trying to be Hughes, really.
State Alchemist Title : Mastermind Alchemist.
Defect: He had a hand {literally} in creating greed; he is missing is right hand, a kidney, and his right ear. Luckily, he is left-handed.
Description: Well, he's actually kind of tall, but also very scrawny. He wears glasses, and has red hair. Which is usually messed up because he spent all night studying. See, the thing is, he has pretty much zero talent for alchemy. At all. I mean, he obviously has a small amount. He can use it proficiently. It's just harder for him then it was for the Elrics or other alchemical prodigies. The way he got to be in the military at all was his invention, or the "Wowzer Box" as he calls it. Basically, it's a puzzle box, but instead of colors, there are lines. When put together in certain ways, in can form a huge variety of different transmutations circles. Thing is, he's the only one who's memorized it thanks to him being a genius, so he's pretty much the only person who can use one. He spends alot of time studying so that he passes his next exam.
Name: Clyde Cooper
Age: 19
Text Color: Olive.
Occupation: Mechanic, employed by Jenkins. {for the record, he is NOT winry. If anything, he's more like Sciezsca or however you spell it.}}
Description: Whereas Stevenson fills the wise, sage-type side of my personality, Clyde fills my wisecracking, sarcastic side. For UN people, Stevenson is like Lash, Clyde like Raphael. He can't be in a conversation for long before making some sort of comment. He also tends to be a voice of reason in that he has no need to try something if the chances are that he'll die. He's not in anything for a posthumus award. Of course, as with all RP characters, he may change over time.

Militarymen wandered the streets, pasting posters almost everywhere. The posters read-
"Warning -
There is a murderer loose, targetting only alchemists. The State advises that all alchemists go into hiding until this murderer is caught.
We have no eyewitness accounts of this man. We do not know what he looks like. Repeat, do not know what he looks like. Trust no one.
We will take these posters down when he has been brought to justice."
Jenkins was reading the poster. He sighed and shook his head.
"The world these days..."
"It's a shame... isn't it..."
Jenkins turned to the man, then back to the poster, nodding.
"Yeah... Thankfully no one I know knows Alchemy."
"That's good."
"Well... have a good day now."
He said to the stranger, before walking back into his shop.
"Yes..."
He began walkign down the path once more.
~Be glad you weren't an alchemist.~ He thought to himself.

Kesuke was reading the warning poster plastered on the side of a building.
"Dang...", he said with an exasperated sigh.
He quickly tucked the chain of his pocket watch deep into his pocket and continued walking down the sidewalk.

"Alchemist murderer, huh?" Argyros smiled as much as it's possible to with a beak as he hovered in front of one of the posters.
"It seems so."
"I guess it's not safe here anymore. We should leave. We should go back to that town in the east-"
"Arg, that dove was NOT interested in you."
"H-hey, that's not what this is about..."
Silver just glared at him.
"Yeah, well, how would you know, anyway? You don't speak bird!"
"Do you?"
"...I'm learning..."
"Uh-huh. Now keep it down. If there's really someone going around killing alchemists, they'll probably catch on if they see a talking bird."

Clyde saw the man leave the shop.
"Er, did that guy buy anything?"
"Nope."
"So, what, he came in just to shoot the breeze about a murderer?"
"Guess so."
"O...kay. Anyway, I wish he had bought something. I guess not enough people need the stuff we sell, what with Alchemy being able to accomplish bloody everything these days."

As Kesuke was walking down the sidewalk, he noticed a rather shady looking man leaving some sort of repair shop.
"Hmm?"
He briefly stopped in front of the shop to get some general idea about it. Then, after deciding he wasn't in need of anything, he began to walk past it.
(Sorry for the shortness and non-activity.)

(Aaannnnddd.... Plot moving time.)
Jenkins shrugged. "We get enough business to at least stay open. We do get a few people that are against alchemy. Though... They're usually half cra-" His sentence was cut off by an explosion at the local library.
Jenkins ran outside. "What the heck was that?"

The explosion caused Kesuke to jump nearly a yard into the air.
"Gah! What happened!?", he cried.
There was smoke and flames rising from the direction of the library.
"... What do people have against those books anyway!?", Kesuke asked, heading in that direction.

"Did you hear that? Something just blew up. If you want to keep your life, you should take my advise and-"
"We're State Alchemists - We've got to be legally obligated to sheck it out or something." Silver started running towards the Library - well, he didn't know it was the library, he just saw the smoke - but he stopped anyway when he noticed Arg was just kind of hanging around by the wanted poster.
"Well, actually, you're the State Alchemist. I'm your pet bird, or so everyone thinks. I have no obligation to-"
Silver reached into his pocket and pulled out a small silver trinket. "Do you want to hold the watch?"
Arg didn't answer; he just grabbed the watch in his clawed feet and said "...Shiny!"
"Now lets go!"
"Oh, fine..." Arg flew after Silver, who had already charged off, with a sigh.
