[FMA RP] Zack Wolfe

Monkey D. Luffy · 03-18-2008

Name: Zack Wolfe

Nickname: Storm Alchemist

Age: 22

Appearance: I will break it up this way just for the sake of simplicity.
-Eyes: Deep purple. His eyes are usually more closed than a normal person’s, and he has dark marks under his eyes (like when you get no sleep.)
-Hair: Styled like Cloud’s from FF (I’m pretty certain everybody knows who he is), dark gray, close to black, in hue.
-Body: Just the build of a common folk. Not muscular, but not overly scrawny. Just a normal, average build. Skin tone is slightly tan. And I guess this is where I should note the source of his lightning alchemy powers. Does he wear gloves that generate electricity? Nope. Due to an incident in his childhood (described in history,) his hands (well really his entire body, but he has centered the force in his hands) can basically generate electricity. Of course he still needs transmutation circles though to perform alchemy, so those are painted on his palms with purple paint (the paint doesn’t wash off……for some reason.)
-Attire: A light purple vest, loose black pants, and bamboo flip-flops. He likes being very simplistic.

Weight: 139

Height: 6’ 0”

Personality: Bottom line – lazy. Often, or more like always, complains and whines about assignments and doing his job.

Job: Military State Alchemist

Rank: Lieutenant General

Alchemy: Thunder (although thunder is just a sound, so technically it would be Lightning, but I like the sound of Thunder more.) He's able to perform Thunder Alchemy by creating electric currents in his hand (like how Roy creates sparks using ignition cloth,) and you know, using that current to create lightning with the use of the transmutation circles.

Likes: Sugary candies and treats, relaxing, sleeping, serenity.

Dislikes: Foods like vegetables and fruits, troublesome matters, getting no sleep.

Hobbies: Resting.

History: Zack was a relatively normal boy from Amestris, who wished to spend all his time sleeping under, or on rather, an unusually large tree in his grandfather's back yard. Zack's grandpa had been a practitioner of alchemy, and was a state alchemist decades ago. However, after retired from the military, he believed that alchemy was more of a source of hazard and violence than for good and prosperity, thus he never taught his grandson the art.

Zack's grandpa hated how Zack always lazily lounged in the tree and was never active, but Zack refused to cooperate with any of his elder's attempts to make him less of a sloth and more of a vivacious young boy. One day, while Zack, who at the time was 16, was sleeping in the tree, an enormous thunder storm began. However, that could of course never break his slumber. The gargantuan tree was struck by a bolt of lightning, and Zack was obviously electrocuted. The storm ceased, and Zack's grandfather found him sprawled out at the foot of the plant, unconscious.

When the granddad touched him, he felt a static impulse, and was quickly drawn away. At this instant Zack awoke. Long story short, Grandpa, being an ex-military alchemical researcher, examined Zack and discovered a strange oddity; electric current was circulating through his grandson's body. He then thought that he would be able to turn his grandson into an excellent alchemist with this phenomenon in his body, with enough proper training.

Thus, Grandpa began mentoring Zack about alchemy (surprisingly he showed interest,) and as Grandpa hypothesized, Zack would be able to be a Thunder alchemist due to his ability to generate electricity plus the use of transmutation circles. Zack was taught for the next 2 years, reaching 18 years of age, and was thus drafted into the military.

When taken in, the purple transmutation circles on Zack's palms were noticed, and so obviously, he became a State Alchemist. He was dubbed 'the Storm Alchemist,' and somehow climbed his way up to Lieutenant General status over the next 4 years. He never would have joined the military (if he was given the choice,) for he considers it quite a large burden. However, it's something he can't avoid anymore, and so has tried to make the best out of it, despite his ever so often complaining and whining.
