Biography
The Fullmetal Alchemist manga and anime series feature an extensive cast of fictional characters created by Hiromu Arakawa. The story is set in a fictional universe within the 20th century in which alchemy is one of the most advanced scientific techniques. Although they essentially start off the same, the 2003 anime series features an entire original story while adapting the first seven volumes of the manga, which were the only ones available from the source material at the time. However, the second anime, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, follows the manga exclusively.
