The Trusted of the Two

DISCLAIMER: Edward and Alphonse Elrik (along with the homunculi, the military characters, and all of the FullMetal Alchemist crew) is Copyright Hiromu Arakawa! Original characters (Bayleigh and Ayumu) are owned by me and my RP buddy XD

Rated: T (Or PG-14, like the anime…whatever.)

Before you read… (Sort of a preview) Well, this was originally an RP that me and ONLY my friend are apart of. I made a private forum for me and my best friend to RP in together; it requires a password to enter into it…SO NO ONE ELSE CAN JOIN! BWUHAHAHA! Well, my friend had never RP'ed before so I made a little forum to get her started. ANYHOO, this is an original FullMetal Alchemist RPG. It only goes for four pages so far (way more to come, we're only getting started) and I thought the story was really getting good. Each post is about a paragraph or so, and is written in story format. So I decided to post it here on It's my first story on too. It's a little tiny bit boring in the first couple of paragraphs, but some questions and action pops up quickly as you read. First, I'm going to show you the two character profiles of me and my friend's OC's (below.) Also, I'm going to be saying "My Post" or "Ayumu's Post" in each big paragraph break (because I'm also following our posts, so has an RP feeling to it.)

OK, OK, ON WITH THE STORY!

My Post

Name: Bayleigh (Bay-lee) my friend says it's a boy's name --

Gender: Female
Age: (Appearance 15) actually-68
Auto-mail: from chest down till knees
Cause of tragedy/background: Barry the Chopper 
 She narrowly escaped Barry but with many of her internal organs severely sliced. A mechanic, who was also an alchemist, found Bayleigh in an alleyway where she had collapsed in. The alchemist was able to attach her soul to a specially designed piece of auto mail (which he alchemized) though the suit had no organs inside, which she found out eventually. But did not know how she became that way, she never met the man who had saved her life. Little does Bayleigh know that the man used the Philosophers Stone to make it all happen. Maybe Bayleigh isn't completely empty inside after all...
Note: Unlike Al, she doesn't know how to open herself up (yet), so she doesn't know what's inside her. Well, she knows that there's nothing, according to the sounds...but she can't see any light that may be inside...
Bottom line: Part homunculus, because the alchemist found her on the verge of death and a homunculus is made when the dead is brought back to life through a failed human transmutation... and she has a Philosophers Stone as her heart...but she is not a sin since she wasn't completely dead.

Ayumu's Post (My RP partner)

Name: Ayumu

Gender: Female
Age Appearance: 15 (Actually much older but you will learn more about this in many chapters to come.)
Interesting Features: Wings (You will also find out more about this feature.)
Auto-mail: None (surprisingly, I mean everyone has it!)
Appearance: Baggy overalls, black cloak over a black shirt. Dark hair and eyes.
Scale: Is shorter than Ed.
Background: Had wings at birth from unknown cause (as far as she knows). Was cast out from her family and has always been left out from society. Wandered around and eventually learned to get jobs that paid from ones who couldn't see well, or didn't notice her wings. Being able to fly matches her, though, since she just wanted to get away. Her personality is quiet and she has a hard time reaching out to others, because of past experiences. She tries with Ed and Al, one day, and has been traveling with them ever since. Out of the two she is closest to Al and is still warming up to Ed who is sometimes annoyed at how little she appears to be able to help. While she does seem useless, at first glance, she can help in her defensive actions and ability to hide in nooks and small places. She has been used to spy, find things, from a bird eye's view, distract homunculi and other attackers, and get into areas not even Ed and Al could enter.

My Post

Bayleigh had just walked out of Central's main military hall. She was hoping to become a state alchemist, and was reading a few rules and forms when she came across, "there will be a physical inspection..." That was when she had to turn away. She knew that they would never take an 'almost machine girl' maybe they thought it would be useless and heavy to run. But she would be very useful! She could get shot from the chest down to the knees and not die! But maybe that's what they were afraid of...An immortal soldier that could rise to the top of the military...
"Psh! Damn the military and their rules..." Bayleigh was sitting on the steps of Central HQ when she saw a strange couple of kids and a suit of amour talking to a soldier at the entrance to the hall. The soldier had deep clack hair and thin eyes. Then, suddenly, the short kid started spazzing.

Ayumu's Post

"Freakin' Colonel!" fumed Edward. The colonel retreated to the HQ leaving an angry Ed and two, Al and Ayumu, to restrain him. All the while a girl watched them. I wonder who she is? Thought Ayumu. Suddenly, her question was to be answered as she made her way over to them.

Bayleigh walked over to the three-some with some questions in why they were talking to that high ranked soldier.
"Um, hey did you know that soldier?"
"I wish I didn't" mumbled Ed. "And he aint' no soldier, he's the almighty Flame Alchemist! Roy Mustang!" Ed recited sarcastically. "Who wants to know? The world?"

"He was a state alchemist? Whoa, well erm...I'm trying to become a State Alchemist and I needed advice or answers to some questions..."

"Yeah? Like what?" Ed said nosily.
"Like if they let girls with metal bodies in the military..."

The short one and the metal one looked at each other, and their annoyed faces (from Roy) became guilty looking. The small girl standing beside them looked up at the tall, armored one. Then the blonde haired boy took off his red cloak and black jacket...
An auto mail arm...
Then the blonde's face uplifted...
"Well hell! They let me in right Al?"
"Uhh..." the one called Al, stammered "R-right." then the small girl wrapped her arms around Al's. The small boy had realized what he had said and his uplifted smile faded...then tried to break the silence.
"Well, you're trying to become a State Alchemist, eh? Heck yeah they'll let you in! What? A missing foot, leg, arm, hand? What is it..?" As the blonde said "what is it?' he gave Bayleigh a smack on the back (all friendly-like) with his right arm...
"OOMPH!" Bayleigh had fallen on the stairs below them. There was a long, loud, hollow, ringing sound when her bottom hit the cement...
Al's the blonde's and the small girl's faces were in gaze.

"H-how much...of you is metal?"

So, that was chapter one….or the first couple of posts out of 52 (so far.) How did you like it? I accept comments, critiques, and flames (if necessary.) I hope I fixed all of those spelling errors... Now then, I shall be posting more chapters later today (Hopefully)
