Edward Elric

Edward Elric, also known as Ed, Fullmetal Alchemist, Hagane no Shounen, Chibi and Pipsqueak, is the main protagonist of the Fullmetal Alchemist series.
== Charactah Account ==
After losing his right arm and left leg due to a failed human transmutation attempt, Ed became the youngest State Alchemist in history by achieving his certification at age twelve. Three years later, Ed has become fully engrossed in his search for the legendary Philosopher's Stone, an item with which he hopes to restore his younger brother Alphonse - whose whole body had been lost in the aftermath of the human transmutation.
Despite Edward's small stature and young age, he is a remarkable combatant. Having apprenticed under Izumi Curtis, Ed was taught to condition his body through regular workouts and sparring as part of her philosophy, "to train the spirit, first train the body." As such, his slight frame belies a compactly muscular build that, in addition to his naturally high energy level and endurance, fuels his considerable strength and agility which allows him to throw people much bigger than he is. Due to Izumi's Spartan training, Edward has become a particularly competent hand-to-hand fighter, able to hold his own against armed opponents and even skilled martial arts practitioners. Besides that, his steel right arm and left leg augment his fighting strength by adding to his defensive and offensive capabilities as well as his speed - after he is refitted with a lighter, cold-climate automail.

== Trivia ==
* Edward is the first character from the Full Metal Alchemist to be introduced in the AWA fics.
* Edward's name means "rich guard", derived from the Old English elements ead "wealth, fortune" and weard "guard".
* As a State Alchemist, Edward Elric technically held the rank of "Major".
* Though Edward is ambidextrous in combat, he writes with his left hand, likely due to the fact that his right is artificial.
* Edward greatly dislikes milk, either for its taste, the fact that it is "an opaque, white liquid secreted by a cow" or both. He does, however, greatly enjoy stew and marvels that something comprised mainly of milk can taste so good. It is often joked about in both the manga and the anime the reason he is so short is because he refuses to drink milk.
