Pride "Selim Bradley" | Fullmetal Alchemist Manga/Brohood

1) Notable physical features: He looks like your typical healthy kid really.

2) Age: Looks like he's 7, but is over three centuries old.

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: At this point in time, it just feels cold around them, but he has a good control of his emotions not to have anything else obviously lingering.

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: They are currently living out their sentence and is in a containment facility outside of town. It's a simple cottage with a sitting room, a kitchen and two bedrooms. The second bedroom is an addition for Eleanor to stay in when she comes to visit Pride. The yard is uh, kind of a horrid mess after all the earthquakes and the recent battle there. Surrounding the facility is a large black wall made of a carbon-based material, courtesy of Edward Elric. This facility is located somewhere out in a forest area of the island.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: A lot of reading with books and newspapers alike. He'll listen to the network very often since that's his only source of communication with anyone right now besides Eleanor. Only recently has he tried to have conversations with Eleanor and help her with things, or at least learn things like cooking. He likes food, so the topics of cooking and getting to eat cooked meals gets him motivated.

Late at night he'll stretch out his shadows since it's been forever since he properly got to utilize them. The range of his shadows are strictly within the facility and the surrounding area. If he's not doing that, he's likely sitting in room in silence, thinking about where things have gone wrong and what is he suppose to be doing now.

He'll also run tasks enforcers assign him as "community service" from time to time.

6) Their general sense of fashion: Casual yet still professional. Something like this or this. Children's clothing is very limited....

7) Hobbies: When he's not being a murderer, he likes pulling pranks and scaring people. Doing puzzles is something he enjoys as well.

8) Jobs: Prisoner

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: He utilizes the shadows which are connected to his container. And he doesn't openly use it unless he's being attacked or attacking, spying on others, communicating through them or just plain ol scaring them.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: Hoooly shit, where do I even start? As of this month, they've been here for ten months and have gone through a lot.

He started off set in finding a way home and not giving a damn how he did it. It led to his death and being canon-updated before returning, so he still believes that his gate ritual was a success. His powers immediately became sealed upon his return and he was forced to live out a life sentence of exile (This is IC reasons, when OOCly, he could be free within three months). Of course, because he's a proud character, he refuses to believe he did anything wrong and started to blame everyone else for not seeing his brilliance, they were cowards. It started to fill him with hatred that not even Elios could reason him out of. Thus he became a literal monster and had to be stop before he went on a rampage. A group of people successfully did this earlier this month, managing to reason and calm Pride's inner subconscious to give others a chance, a willingness to try and change. Unfortunately, due to all that energy he exerted as a monster, his philosopher stone deteriorates and he dies again...with a visit from the grim reaper, warning him should he try to go back to his old antics.

Now Pride is left wondering what he should actually be doing, but at least he's calm down enough to try and listen to others without violently threatening people. So, basically he's less of a prick compare to when he first arrived. He still stubbornly holds onto things he knows, but has started to shown willingness to try something different, and grow some tolerance with certain people.

Also learning how to openly act like himself, and not Selim Bradley. That's something he's not used to.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: Well when he was still living in town, he likes going to the candy and desert shops. The library was another place.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: Not really, they're right to point through the amulet as they are in person. Of course since the amulet concerns people's thoughts, his real feelings have a chance of leaking through the amulet.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: Slight upgrade. He's pretty fascinated by the technology here.

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: He knows Amestrian alchemy and likely military related subjects since he was always been around people with authority. He knows Amestrian morse code for example. When his shadows were sealed he taught himself close range combat, practicing with Envy in secret.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?:
-People's lives are not just playthings, they have value to them.
-Being a monster does not mean you have to act one way because of the only one view you've been shown.
-That his abilities are not just for killing, that they can be utilize in other ways that are more rewarding.
-Be able to pet some kind of animal

16) Anything else you want to note?: Uhh none that I can think of right now.
