Scar (Fullmetal Alchemist)

Scar, also known as The Scarred Man, is a character from the Fullmetal Alchemist series.
== Charactah Account ==
Scar is mysterious Ishvalan warrior priest in a roaring rampage of revenge against the State Alchemists that annihilated his people.
Scar is a decidedly brooding, vicious, and angry man, almost totally consumed by hatred toward the people who destroyed his homeland. Knowing full well that his actions go against many of the teachings of his religion, he still fashions himself an agent of God's divine punishment and takes out his fury on State Alchemists; as a result, he abandons his birth name which Ishvalans consider gifts from God. Unfortunately, this escalates into a monomaniac hatred of State Alchemists, to the point he even targets Edward Elric who was never part of the war and is a champion of the people.
However, vestiges of his former life's kinder nature are prone to seep through. Even in the middle of his bloody vengeance, Scar is willing to show compassion toward others, honoring last requests and offering a chance to pray before dying. He is reasonably wise and a skilled rhetorician, though his misguided thirst for vengeance clouds his greater judgment and leads his arguments in circles. Having had his people and his family stolen from him, Scar sympathizes with those who care for their loved ones and looks after those who have lost their place in the world. Additionally, he is very protective of his surviving kinsmen and takes all their words of encouragement or chastisement to heart.

== Trivia ==
* In a joke in a non-canon 4-Koma Theater, Scar claimed his real name was Jugemu-jugemu Gokounosurikire Kaijarisuigyo-no Suigyoumatsu Unraimatsu Fuuraimatsu Kuunerutokoroni-sumutokoro Yaburakoujino-burakouji Paipopaipo-paiponoshuuringan Shuuringanno-guurindai Guurindaino-ponpokopiino-ponpokonaano Choukyuumeino-chousuke, which was coincidentally the same as King Bradley's real name.
** The English dub changes his name to Percival Ramgene Gregory Nicolai Jacques Scozer Leonardo Gabriel Socrates Ming Victor Nostradamus Alistair Predisha Vladimir Stiegler Rasputin Boromir Walla Walla Shadiga Alexander Oliver Abalard Arnesto Zippy Zappy Angel Eyes.
* There's a distinct difference in how Scar is portrayed by his voice actors in the English versions of the two anime.
** In the first series, Scar comes off much calmer and seems younger in demeanor.
** In the second series, Scar comes off as more gruff and angry.
* Scar design, although being consistent between the manga and the two animes, has some differences to it:
** In the 2003 series he appears to be younger compared to his manga/2009 series counterpart, with a leaner face and less pronounced facial features.
** In the 2009 series his right arm tattoo is slightly different in design compared to his manga/2003 series counterpart.
** The light of the energy discharge caused by Scar's alchemy is red in the 2003 series, however that is related to the change in Scar's backstory.
* When Lust asks for his real name he states that he once had one, but "that person died years ago from a life of sin, malice and retribution."
* His name is never revealed, much like the manga; he believes that by using alchemy, he has renounced his name.
* He generally fights by trying to grab someone's head and activating the alchemical circle inside to violently deconstruct everything in the area of effect, resulting in most of the skull being blown away.
* Scar's name is never given, even when he's about to die. When Lust asks him his name, he answers that his body once had one, but "that person died a long time ago." Lust, who'd only called him "scarred man" up to this point, finally uses the "name" Scar as he dies: "Goodbye... Scar."
* Scar in the manga was part of a sect of warrior monks, and it's shown that he was already a highly skilled fighter well before gaining his arm of destruction. In the '03 anime, he was just a normal Ishbalan citizen (indeed, Ishbal seems be far more pacifistic than its manga counterpart, lacking any warrior priests whatsoever) who just happened to have his abilities grafted onto him by his brother to save his life. Thus, all this version really has going for him is his empowered arm, though that alone makes him still very deadly.
