Greed | Fullmetal Alchemist (manga) | No reserve
Nickname: Windy
Age: 20
Personal LJ/DW:
Method of Contact: plurk: windychimes || aim: creepingsun
Characters Played: N/A
Character Info:
Name: Greed
Age: 200
Canon: Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)
Pull Point: Greed is being pulled from chapter 27, where in Al has been captured. Izumi has come and gone by then, and they are waiting for Ed to arrive.
Background Info:
History: Wiki
Personality: Greed is the literal embodiment of the sin greed. He wants women, money, power, everything; he even states as much in canon. He’s an antagonist but not exactly a bad guy. When he captures Al for the purpose of figuring out immortal life, he doesn’t go for dissecting him first. He chooses instead to try and negotiate a deal with Al. I believe Greed to also be quite flirty, though this isn’t specifically shown canon; since he says he wants women (and I think he would want men, too, as I don’t think he would limit himself) in canon and The Devil’s Nest has women who appear to be promiscuous. He’s can be rather coarse, as shown in canon with his penchant for flipping people off and a chapter actually called ‘Courage of a Coarse Guy.’ Greed’s most important relationships are with the other homunculi and the chimeras. He really doesn’t like the other homunculi and defected 100 years ago, as working with Father would not allow him to obtain all the worldly goods he desires. Before he is killed in the manga, Father offers him one more chance to come back but he refuses. Even as he’s killed he screams obscenities at Father and the other homunculi. Conversely, his relationship with the chimeras is much more positive. He seems to genuinely care for them, getting upset when Bradley kills them. Though he passes it off as being upset about it because they are his possessions, in reality it is because they are friends. It is later revealed that Greed doesn’t want everything in the world, just to have friends like the humans do. Greed, though coarse and a bit of a jerk, is not really all that bad of a guy. He’s selfish and puts himself before others, but he cares for the few who are close to him, even if he passes it off as thinking of them as possessions.
Game Specific:
Arcana: The Devil
Justification: Besides being the literal embodiment of the sin greed, I believe the Devil Arcana best fits Greed because of its ties to materialism and desire. Greed always wants more; more women, more power, more money, more land. Nothing he has is ever enough. He wants to rule the whole world, simply to have it. The Devil Arcana also embodies physical attraction and sexuality, and while lust is not the main part of Greed’s character, in the manga he is seen as covered in women and quite comfortable with it. Anything that is obtainable, whether corporal or not, falls under his need to have. Bondage is also a main symbol for the card: not literal bondage, but metaphorical. Greed is chained to his desires, which is ultimately his downfall. While this happens long after my canon point for Greed, in the end he is killed because he attempts to take Father’s incredible power, which allowed Father to kill him. Because of Greed’s desire, obsessive want, and metaphorical chains to his material objects, this is why I believe the Devil Arcana is most fitting for Greed.
Samples:
First Person Sample: Where the hell am I? [ Greed stumbles into the street, toe catching on the sidewalk as he he runs out of the alley. He stops a moment to catch his breath, hands on his knees. ] Shit, I just closed my eyes for a second…
[ A loud howl rings out in the distance and Greed swears under his breath before taking off again. ] I’m going to kill whoever did this!
Third Person Sample: Greed doesn’t remember how he got here. He just closed his eyes for a moment; the Fullmetal Alchemist was taking too long to arrive, all he wanted was a little rest. But now instead of rest he’s running through darkened alleyways and empty streets. The moon above him glows strangely but he has no time to pay it mind; the strange beasts that follow him leave him no time to think. Their thick talons tear into the pavement as they chase him and horrific screams rip from their throat and threaten to reach out and grab him.
“Fuck,” he says to himself as he runs, “fuck.”
Eventually Greed manages to evade the creatures, at least momentarily. Body pressed to the wall of a building, he slides down it and onto the ground, breathing hard. His shield is gone, his body guards are gone, he doesn’t think he has any lives to spare; he’s totally defenseless.
Greed rubs his temples. Of all the rotten situations to be put in… Well, that doesn’t matter. He’s gotten himself out of worse situations, hasn’t he? And he’s sure as hell not ready to die. With a grunt he pushes himself up and breaks into a run. There has to be someone else on this… whatever this is. And he’s going to find them.

Greed is the literal embodiment of the sin greed. He wants women, money, power, everything; he even states as much in canon. He’s an antagonist but not exactly a bad guy. When he captures Al for the purpose of figuring out immortal life, he doesn’t go for dissecting him first. He chooses instead to try and negotiate a deal with Al. I believe Greed to also be quite flirty, though this isn’t specifically shown canon; since he says he wants women and sex (and I think he would want men, too, as I don’t think he would limit himself) in canon and The Devil’s Nest has women who appear to be promiscuous.
He’s can be rather coarse, as shown in canon with his penchant for flipping people off and a chapter actually called ‘Courage of a Coarse Guy.’ For quirks, Greed’s favorite phrase is: ‘There’s no such thing as no such things.’ He’s a believer in the impossible, especially considering he shouldn’t actually exist. He treats life with a lot of humor, even when fighting; with the exception of his fight with Bradley, he never looks truly angry. Life is always amusing to him and he wants to collect as many new experiences as possible.
Greed’s most important relationships are with the other homunculi and the chimeras. He really doesn’t like the other homunculi and defected 100 years ago, as working with Father would not allow him to obtain all the worldly goods he desires.
