Scar (Fullmetal Alchemist)

Scar is a major character in the anime/manga series Fullmetal Alchemist. He is a disturbed loner. His right arm does not belong to him, but his older brother. His older brother was obsessed with finding the Philosopher's Stone and tattooed his whole body.
During the Ishbal civil war an alchemist, Solf J. Kimblee, killed his brother, blew off Scar's arm, and gave him the "X" scar on his forehead. Scar's brother then transmuted his own arm onto Scar's shoulder, giving the maimed warrior priest the powers of alchemic deconstruction that he then uses in his quest for vengeance.
Scar seeks his revenge against the state alchemists, all of whom he blames for the destruction of Ishbal. His wrath does not extend, however, to non-state alchemists, which is why he does not seek to kill Alphonse Elric during their frequent confrontations.
In the 2003 anime series, he is voiced by in the Japanese version and by in the English version. In the 2009 anime series, he is voiced by in the Japanese version and by in the English version. He is voiced by Parry Shen in the English version of the live action films.
== Biography ==
Scar is one of those very people targeted in the Ishvalan Civil War. He lived through a genocide campaign that left his country erased, his people nearly extinguished, his family dead, and his brother's arm grafted to his shoulder. He embarks on a ferocious vengeance that he implies is supposed to end with suicide by State Alchemist. Some monologuing reveals that he's insane with grief for his people and family, and after encountering the daughter of a pair of doctors he murdered, he begins to change because she cuts close to home for him. Notably, his backstory is never divulged by him: May Chang has to learn of the Ishvalan genocide by a disenfranchised officer to realize why Scar pities her.
==Personality==
Scar starts out the series hell-bent on getting revenge on the State Alchemists for the genocide of his people, and is willing even to kill children for that purpose. However, despite this, he acknowledges that it's only fair for Winry to try to kill him to take revenge for her parents' deaths at his hands. Towards the end of the series, Scar has grown so much that he ends up helping to talk down one of the State Alchemists he was hell-bent on killing from losing himself to blind hatred and vengeance.
==Abilities==
Scar is an extremely effective martial artist with considerable durability and the strength to take down anyone hand to hand. Likewise, he is mostly known for his ludicrous speed. He is able to semi-successfully dodge bullets, literally throw his opponents around, and keep on fighting despite having lost ridiculous amounts of blood. Scar eventually comes to terms with the fact that he's basically doing alchemy and it's the only way to complete his task, and gets the creation markings tattoed on his other arm for a complete power set.
