Notes: This particular one is in an omake sort of style, so it's not necessarily what I expect the characters to be like. This is more . . . a caricature of them, I guess.

Forty: Halves (omake-style)

When Roy Mustang had his mind set on something, he certainly didn't do it by halves. Some people would learn alchemy to be able to make small adjustments to almost inconsequential things, but Roy? He leapt for fire alchemy the moment he could – the most powerful alchemy known. Some people were content to help the needy in the country one at a time, but Roy had to get to the top of the dung-heap that was Amestris, so that he could help them all. Some people would have been content with changing the uniform so that jackets were optional during summer, but Roy went the whole way and declared female summer uniform to include a miniskirt.

Yes, when Roy Mustang had his mind set on something, he certainly didn't do it by halves. Neither did the female members of the military when they all unanimously refused to follow Part B of his new uniform policy.
