leviathan

this is a moderate activity, timeline and canon divergent, independent roleplay blog for roy mustang of fullmetal alchemist, with headcanons (as well as canon applications) based on '03, FMAB, and the manga that is open to other fandoms, ocs, crossovers, & aus. i have been roleplaying for 14+ years.

before proceeding, be warned: the contents of this blog are NSFW, so please do not follow me if you are a minor. there will be themes and mentions of politics, fascism and nationalism, genocide, war, mentions of war, varying degrees of violence, weapons usage, varying degrees of abuse, assault, themes of suicide and suicidal ideation, substance abuse, sex, systemic racism, state violence, militaric brutalism, murder, homicidal ideation and homicide, etc.

o1. no ooc drama. PERIOD. this is your one & only warning— i will hard block you everywhere.

do NOT "warn" me about other muns or show me callout posts OR callout blogs. i will make such decisions for myself.

i do not care what you ship OR write, as i, too, write Problematic Content (obviously).

do not force your ships on me & do NOT tell me what i can & cannot ship.

do not put ship hate on my dash. do not start drama with people over ships.

this is a non-judgemental zone, so you need not worry about offending my delicate sensibilities. 

o2. no god modding / metagaming.

o3. you should at very least try to reblog the memes you want your mutuals to send to you to your muse’s blog from their source, although i don't care if you reblog from me directly.

o4. i am not going to list my various mental and physical disabilities to justify explaining why you shouldn't be acting entitled to my time and energy as a roleplayer. if you want to continue or pick up a thread we have written, i encourage you to nudge me (within reason). do not use this as an excuse to harass or manipulate me into replying to you faster.

o6. platonic & romantic shipping is my jam. fast shipping? slow burn? fated pairs? meet-cutes? good stuff, it's in the itinerary! however, i will absolutely not ship roy romantically with underage muses & i will not write smut with any mun under the age of 21.

i will not, under any circumstance, write these ships: royed, royal, roywinry, roygluttony, or roypride.

please do not ask me to write these ships.

while i am not here SOLELY for shipping, i do love to ship, and will ship most ships with those who want to explore one with roy, especially if there's chemistry.

casual sex and friends with benefits are fine. sex in general is fine. roy is used to other people using his body (if you stick around long enough, you'll see this is mentally taxing for him and is a huge problem), but where smut is concerned, please write smut with roy only under read mores & tagged properly or written offsite (such as on discord).

know that this blog is NSFW; not only is smut probably going to happen regularly, adult subjects will pop up because my muse is an adult who does adult things.

there ARE lines i will not cross, such as pedophilia, rape, incest, etc. please do not ask me to write these subjects.

the only things i will reference in my writing are roy's own sexual trauma, his own abuse at the hands of others, and the genocide he has committed.

please do not ask me to write out scenes with this content that come at the hands of or are the cause of your muse.

it is intensely triggering for me to do so, so unless i am writing out scenes that include sequences such as traumatic flashbacks or nightmares OR roy informing another muse of what happened to him in the past, i will not be writing those subjects out any further than that.

o7. cw/tw for dark themes. another reminder: a lot of this content will happen in my writing since a lot of it is canon. fma is literally an allegory for/was written based on ww2, so let me know if you see me forget to tag something or if you need me to add a unique tag to my tags list for your blacklist. 

o8. ic = / = ooc. i do not condone what my muse says or does. the things roy says and does can be Bad, and even extremely manipulative, although other factors, such as his PTSD, may cause him to act in unexpected ways, such as to triggers. contact me if things are getting too heated for you on an ooc level! i don't mind diverting plot, retconning, or simply starting over— these are fictional characters & as my roleplay partner, your comfort is my priority.

o9. the icons i use are from the cartoon & manga/or were ripped by other people & were edited by me. i would appreciate being asked before you use them! @uselesswhenwet was the one who gave me their icons originally, so i would suggest asking them for permission before taking them from me.

1o. you can either message me for more contact information or to shoot the breeze oocly ( apologies ahead of time, i am probably going to be shy )!

thanks, & let's have fun! ♥

BIO

THE FLAME ALCHEMIST "A King exists for his people. Without people, there is no King."

── OVERVIEW

*   NAME: Roy Mustang

*  TITLE/ALIAS: The Flame Alchemist/Hero of Ishval

*   MILITARY RANK: Colonel (State Alchemist)

*   AFFILIATION: Amestrian State Military (Central Command/formerly East City)

*   AGE: 29–35 (Versatile based on AU)

*   BIRTH SIGN: Aries Sun ♈︎ / Scorpio Moon ♏︎ / Libra Rising ♎︎

── VITAL STATISTICS

*   HEIGHT: 5'7" (170 cm)

*   HAIR: Raven black, kept in casual military cut. Frequently falls into his eyes when out of uniform.

*   EYES: Obsidian. Capable of shifting from a lazy, heavy lidded bedroom stare to a terrifyingly cold, dead stillness in a fraction of a second.

*   SCARS/IDENTIFYING MARKS: Severe burn wounds across his left lower back, side, and abdomen. Deep, unhealed psychological scars, mainly but not entirely from the Ishvalan Civil War. (PTSD, Depersonalization Disorder, Panic/Anxiety Disorder, Substance Abuse Disorder)

*   KEY EQUIPMENT: Custom made white ignition cloth gloves embroidered with the Flame Alchemy transmutation circle. A silver pocket watch (the sigil of the State Alchemists). A pack of cigarettes and a silver lighter tucked into his breast pocket.

── PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE

To the casual observer, Colonel Mustang is a textbook hedonist: a slick, arrogant, womanizing bachelor who spends more time dodging paperwork and chasing skirts than doing actual military work.

It is an act.

Beneath the meticulously crafted facade of a vain, shallow social climber lies a brilliant, hypervigilant tactician with a staggering capacity for guilt. Haunted by his actions as a human weapon in the Ishvalan Civil War, Roy's entire existence is driven by the ruthless resolve to overthrow the corrupt military regime from the inside out. He carries the weight of a murderer trying to build a democracy, and he fully expects to pay for his sins with his own ruin once his goal is achieved. 

*   IN BATTLE: Lethal, precise, and utterly terrifying. He does not fight fair. He incinerates the oxygen in a room before his opponents can draw breath.

*   IN PRIVATE: Deeply loyal, fiercely protective of his subordinates, and prone to dark, brooding periods of sleeplessness, especially when it rains.

── ALCHEMICAL CAPABILITIES

Roy is the sole practitioner of **Flame Alchemy**, a highly destructive discipline that manipulates the concentration of oxygen in the surrounding air. 

*   Mechanism: By snapping his fingers while wearing his ignition gloves, he creates a spark. He then uses alchemy to create a dense pathway of oxygen between himself and his target, causing a localized explosion.

*   Control: He is capable of splitting his attacks using his right hand for massive, devastating blasts, and his left hand for pin point, surgical strikes (such as boiling the water in an opponent's eyes or cauterizing a wound).
