the son of King Bradley, the Führer of Amestris

the first Homunculus that Father created, embodying the cruelest, most prejudicial, yet most basic aspect of evil. He is the pinnacle of the Homunculi's homunculus-centric beliefs and contempt of humans. He is the second-in-command of the Homunculi, and can also possess the greatest overall physical strength among them.

Pride's black multi-eyed shadow is his actual form, with the childlike body being a simple "container" for him to move around in,
standard immortality and regenerative abilities like all of his brethren. Pride's "container" appeared to be very resistant to physical damage

• Resentful Soldier: Deep down, he is bitter about lacking true free will, yet takes grim pride in his martial skill, his battles, and his choice of an ordinary human wife. [
• Fearless Combatant: Faces death and worthy opponents (like Scar) with a terrifying joy and sharp focus, respecting humans who stubbornly fight back against impossible odds

Envy is secretly jealous of humans' inner strength and the mutually beneficial friendships that they share

exists only to make humans suffer, bears more bitter resentment for humans than any other homunculus, and negatively treats with humans in the most personal and heartfelt manner.

is a Federal-State composed of several nations reunited under a Union. The Central Government has kept a close watch on the States' affairs, allowing a level of autonomy to each local leaders and keeping them as representatives of the former tribes in the Central Government.

The tribes that compose Creta are culturally diverse and are known to be extremely unfriendly to each other.

Borders: Shares a western and southwestern border with Amestris near West City.Conflicts: Frequently fights small-scale border battles with Amestris.Government: Operates as a federation.

is a region of Southeastern Amestris on the border of the Eastern Desert. Technically it is named the Ishval Region after the Ishvalans who practice Ishvala. It was restored as a Holy Land and became a major trading hub between Amestris and Xing thirteen years after the Ishval Civil War.

The nation once was moderately theocratic, focused on the God of Creation Ishvala.

once its own nation, owing to the vastly different cultural practices of Ishval's people and the general populace of greater Amestris as a whole, Ishval was likely absorbed as a part of the country's expansionist policies. However, the region remained a point of contention and was ultimately razed as a result of the Ishval Civil War in Amestrian year 1901.

Existing in Amestris' relatively barren frontier and just shy of the Great Desert separating the western and eastern nations of the continent, Ishval has been described as a rather harsh land made of little more than rocks and sand; it has no significant natural resources and very little farmable land

The Ishvalan religion centers on Ishvala, a single creator god, and views alchemy as a grave sin. Considers personal names a direct gift and sacred trust from Ishvala.

a supreme, omnipotent entity that governs alchemy and the universe. It describes itself as "the World, the Universe, God, Truth, the All, the One, and also you".

cunning, merciless, and often delightfully sadistic. It has a purely neutral alignment—neither good nor evil—acting as the ultimate, impartial judge of the universe's laws, specifically the law of Equivalent Exchange.

snide, mocking, and punishing Truth despises arrogance, viewing it as a flaw that must be humbled.

white, featureless version of whoever passes through the Gate, symbolizing that the only one casting judgement is oneself.

Officially founded around the year 1550, the country was originally a loose collection of unorganized territories until the "Philosopher of the East" (a disguised Father) introduced alchemy to its people. Armed with this alchemical knowledge, Amestris began rapidly expanding its borders by invading and annexing neighboring lands.

The official flag of Amestris is a rectangle, with an argent dragon rampant in a field of vert.

The dragon is also present in the symbol of the State Alchemists, which bears it inside a hexagram

The Amestrian State Military is the primary military and governing force in Fullmetal Alchemist. Led by Führer King Bradley, it functions as a dictatorship masquerading as a parliamentary republic. The military is divided into five regional branches (Central, North, East, South, West) and utilizes state-sanctioned alchemists known as "Human Weapons".State AlchemistsState Alchemists are a specialized division of science officers within the military. Upon certification, they are granted the automatic military rank of Major and answer directly to the Führer's office

must obey all military orders, they are often derisively called the "Dogs of the Military" by the general public

is the country that serves as the principal setting of the Fullmetal Alchemist series.

It is a unitary state under the rule of a parlimentary republic, with a population of about 50 million. The Head of State is the Führer who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Military, who also consecrates the role of Head of Government.

It seems the country was composed of several former nations, quite diverse in culture and religion, but incorporated by the expanding state of Amestris. The administrative regions of the country seem to reflect those differences. The country has five administrative divisions: South Area, West Area, North Area, East Area and Central Area.

The East Area is the most diverse, sheltering a nation of a different ethnicity called Ishval. The province of Ishval is ethnically and culturally different of the rest of the country: the people there being religious; most of them renounce alchemy, which brought many conflicts with the Central Government in the past and has culminated in the Ishval Civil War.

population has been noted at roughly fifty million

Amestris appears to have recently undergone an industrial revolution of sorts, with steam engines and automobiles beginning to overtake horse-drawn carriages as the most prominent mode of transportation (though the horse-and-buggy is by no means uncommon). Incidentally, most cars are of a style reminiscent of the Ford Model A.

Electric power, while abundant, has not completely replaced gas-lights in some of the more rural areas and coal remains a major fuel source. However, automail exists as a clear outlier from the standard technological fare of the age, existing as sophisticated robotic prostheses that not only function with the precision of machinery roughly a century ahead of its time, but is compatible with biological forms in a manner that transcends our own understanding of bio-robotics.

variant of alchemy practiced in the Eastern nation of Xing. It differs fundamentally from Western Amestrian Alchemy by harnessing the earth's life force (chi) rather than tectonic energy, making it highly effective for medical healing and long-range transmutations

The Dragon's Pulse: While Amestrian alchemy is powered by the kinetic energy of tectonic shifts, alkahestry taps into the "Dragon's Pulse". This is the constant flow of life force (chi) that travels through the earth, nourishing the land.The Philosopher of the West: The practice was brought to Xing centuries ago by an alchemist from Xerxes.

Medical Focus: Because it draws on the earth’s continuous, pure energy rather than the practitioner's own life force, alkahestry excels at purifying toxins, healing critical wounds, and counteracting the effects of philosopher's stones.

contention between the clans as all the heirs compete to inherit the throne. As it stands, it is common for the various heirs and their vassals to make assassination attempts against their royal siblings in order to clear the playing field.

Warriors of Xing, rather than relying on traditional western means of combat, have developed their own style of martial arts which blends acrobatic skills with melee weapon combat.

The Philosopher's Stone is a powerful, highly coveted artifact that allows alchemists to ignore the Law of Equivalent Exchange. It acts as a massive energy source and transmutation amplifier, but its terrible secret is that it is forged by condensing human souls.

Types of AlchemyAlchemists often specialize in different branches based on their aptitude and field of study:Standard: Repairing, breaking, or reshaping physical objects like stone or metal.State: Specialized combat applications for the military, such as Roy Mustang's Flame Alchemy.Synthesis: Combining organic materials (often used unethically to create chimeras).Medical: Healing and medical procedures utilizing alchemical principles.

a foundational science governed by the strict, inflexible Law of Equivalent Exchange—to create something of a certain value, you must sacrifice something of equal value. A solid understanding of atomic structure and the flow of natural energy is required to deconstruct and reconstruct matter.

Every alchemical act, or transmutation, requires three main phases:Comprehension: Understanding the chemical and molecular makeup of the target material.Deconstruction: Using energy to break down the material into a malleable state.Reconstruction: Shaping the malleable matter into the desired new form.

Transmutation CirclesAlchemy requires a Transmutation Circle. The circle symbolizes the flow of the world's natural energy, and the runes inscribed inside direct that energy to accomplish specific transmutations. Because drawing these arrays takes time, many alchemists in the military draw them on gloves, gauntlets, or weapons.However, alchemists who have seen "The Truth" (like Edward Elric) can bypass this. By clapping their hands together, they create a human transmutation circle using their own bodies, allowing them to perform alchemy instantly.

Conservation of Mass: You cannot create mass out of nothing.
Law of Natural Providence: You can only transmute an object into something that contains the exact same base elements.
The Taboo (Human Transmutation): Attempting to resurrect the dead or create a human from scratch is forbidden. Because a human soul is scientifically and spiritually priceless, any attempt results in an alchemical "rebound," extracting a horrific physical toll from the alchemist

A Blood Rune, also known as a Blood Seal , is an alchemical technique used to bind someone's soul to an inanimate metal object. The iron in the blood will interact with the metal it is on, causing the object and the blood rune to form a symbiosis.
