Backstory -
State Alchemist the alchemists who work for the government, and get paid to research specific fields of alchemy such as bio-alchemy. These state alchemist do jobs for the government, and are basically the governments dogs of war, but there are others who chose not to side with the government, and do what they want to of there own free will. You six are new alchemist,and must now choose which of these roads to follow. Now which will you choose, will you be a dog of war, or will you help the people, and try to overthrow the government. Who knows you will choose the path, but in the end all of yours will cross as your fates are tied to each other.

Rules of Alchemy -
"Alchemy. The science of understanding the structure of matter, breaking it down, then reconstructing it as something else. It can even make gold from lead. But alchemy is a science, and so it must follow the natural laws. To create, something of equal value must be lost. This is the Principle of Equivalent Exchange."

- Edward Elric, The Fullmetal Alchemist

1.) No Creating Gold
2.) No Creating Humans

Spoiler: Alchemical Skills (click to show/hide)

You have 28 Points to distribute among these skills, and they can range from 0 to 10.

Earth - This Determines how well you can manipulate the ground around you, and how easily you can do it. The higher the skill in this the easier you can use the earth as a weapon, and a shield the more effective you are when using it. This kind of alchemy is a good balance of offensive,and defensive power.

Water - This determines how well you can manipulate,and effectively use water in all its forms. The higher the skill the easier it is for you to use it as a weapon, and shield, also the higher the stat the more effective you are when using it. This kind of alchemy leans more towards offense,and lacks in defensive uses.

Fire - This Determines how well you can manipulate fire, and how easily you can do it. The higher the skill the easier it is for you to use it as a weapon, and shield, also the higher the stat the more effective you are when using it. This kind of alchemy leans all the way to offensive,and its only useful defensive ability is against water

Weapon - This determines how well you can turn the earth, water, etc. into weapons for you to use to fight. The higher the skill the easier you can use this skill to make weapons,and the better weapons you can make. This kind of alchemy is quite useful if you get involved in a fight with an enemy who is to fast for you to use ranged alchemy against, so you can make a weapon to use in close combat, and you can also make shields to protect yourself with.

Bio-Alchemy - This determines how well you can create chimera, and control animal tissue, bones, etc. The higher the skill the better chimera you can make,and the more you can make out of animal's bodies. This form of alchemy is good for creating servants, and poisons.

Medical (Alkahestry) - This determines how well you can heal wounds, treat burns, cleanse poison from ones system, etc.,and how easily you cna do so. The higher this skill the worse wounds you cna heal, and the easier, and more effective you are at healing. Alkahestry is a form of Alchemy that is Medical based, and is designed more to heal wounds than do damage, but you cna also use this to fight, but you are limited for even if you have seen the Truth you must have a transmutation circle to use it.

Air - This determines how well you can use the air, and gases as weapons, and shields. The higher your skill in this the easier you can use it,and  the more effectively you use. This branch of alchemy is good as a weapon, but lacks in defensive capabilities.

This will use the normal 1d6 rolls for normal actions, and combat will remain hidden until true combat is encountered. Also if you are currently watching, or are planning to watch the FMA: Brotherhood series keep in mind this will contain spoilers of that series once we get a little ways in.

Age: 25
Automail Bodyparts: None
Description: A lean man of 170 pounds and standing 5'10, Joseph isn't impressive at first sight. Nothing stands out at all about him, from his plain looks to his mousy brown hair to his utterly non-captivating brown eyes. However, underneath his exterior lies a sharp mind and a talented manipulator of water and alkahestry, reliable and loyal to his friends to a fault. As for clothing, he wears the standard blue of a government alchemist.
Bio: Nothing major. Joseph was always an exceptionally bright young lad who studied alchemy as he grew up in his family's coastal home... perhaps living so close to the ocean is what gave him such a connection to water?

Finally, he has a pair of black gloves with his most common alchemical symbol, Water, on them to expedite its use in combat situations.

[Flintus10]

Gender:M
Age: 17

Bio: Tarn grew up in a wealthy military family and was lucky he was able to recieve treatments for the numerous illnesses that plagued him. Few believed that he could ever become a member of the central military but he had a natural talent for alchemy and was able to practice and study frequently as he often found himself stuck on his family's estate. Eventually Tarn was noticed as his ability to manipulate fire was prodigial and he was given the rank and freedoms of a state alchemist, though he is yet to distinguish himself enough to earn a nickname.

Specializing is fun, plus the specialists in general seem to do the best, there are the odd jacks of all trade like Edward who do really well, but it's mostly the specialists.

[IronyOwl]

Name: Arianna, the Blood Witch Alchemist
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Automail Bodyparts: None
Description: Wiry, young-looking girl with long black hair and blue eyes.
Bio: Arianna has always been fascinated by living things. She was apprenticed to a witch in her village, who taught her in several fields before she moved to the city. Her darker interests intensified, however, possibly because there were fewer already-living things to study, and by the time she was accepted as a state alchemist she had a reputation for being a maniacal, knife-wielding lunatic, obsessed with living things, corpses, and everything in between. In terms of raw ability, she's a protege with healing alchemy and chimaera creation, but is noteworthy for her complete lack of interest in more classic fields.
Alchemical Skills:
Earth - 0
Water - 0
Fire - 0
Bio-Alchemy - 10
Weapon - 8
Medical (Alkahestry) - 10
Air - 0
Starting Items: Chalk, white gloves with healing circle on them, shackles, net, magnifying glass, machete, medical kit (scalpels, tweezers, clamps, etc), field science kit (portable microscope, slides, scrapers, vials, etc)

[V-Norrec]

Meh, I never get to play these things, maybe I'll start now.  Reserve me please as I need to wait until tomorrow morning to be able to copy the form.

[KaguroDraven]

Well, atleast I have two people who I might be able to convince to teach me some Bio Alchemy, which is likely nessicery for my major goal.

[adwarf]

Also Kaguro can you define what exactly your most commonly used alchemical symbol lets you do. (Since I have no idea exactly how Air Alchemy would work)

@ All Players who choose to be State Alchemists
The Military uniform, and Silver Pocket watch come with the job so you can pick two items in their place.

[V-Norrec]

So. . . you going to wait for me?  Please?

[adwarf]

Yep thats fine since I still have some stuff to work on myself.

[KaguroDraven]

I editted in two new items to fill in the two I couldn't figure out.....now it seems I still have two to figure out, eh. Also it allows me to manipulate the air in general ways, blasts of wind, small tornados, blades of wind. And it allows me to do simple changes to the air, mixing elements already in the air to make poisons for example. But for really complicated or large scale stuff I need different drawn circles.

[adwarf]

Ok now I know what limits I cna put on it without you getting upset. Also you may get other alchemist nicknames alogn with your current ones depending on how you fight in battle, and act towards others.
