Character: Solf J. Kimblee

Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist (First Anime)

Character Notes:

History: Kimblee was a State Alchemist involved in the Eastern Rebellion who made bombs of enemies and allies alike by rearranging their chemical construction with the arrays on his hands. He was capable of making timed or instant explosions and focusing the destruction limb by limb. At the end of the war he was supposed to be put to death. Instead he was kept in solitary holding in the secret 5th Laboratory in Central to be sacrificed into a Philosopher's Stone. When surrounded by the incomplete stone meant to amplify the array to create the stone and placed with the other sacrifices, he made use of another prisoner and the red water to escape. As the 5th Laboratory was invaded by the military and destroyed, he met Greed and the escaping chimeras and made his way out with them. He served under Greed at the Devil's Nest but was not popular amongst the ex-military chimeras due to being a known bloodthirsty traitor. None the less he went on several of Greed's missions with the rest of the Devil's Nest members. During one outing to York Island, he heard Envy mention Greed's bones and sealing him away with them. Kimblee now knew the weakness, but he never took initiative against Greed until another mission at the Southern Headquarters where he was propositioned by Lt. Colonel Frank Archer to join the military again. Before defecting, he let fellow former State Alchemist and Devil's Nest member Shou Tucker in on matters and recruited him to work under Archer as well. Using his alchemy, he opened the safe Greed kept his skull in and let Archer make use of them on the raid on the Devil's Nest. As the newly promoted Colonel Archer worked in Information, he was able to forge that Kimblee had been framed for his war crimes and stated that he was helping unravel the mysteries of Lab 5 while promoting Kimblee to Lt. Colonel. Kimblee was still well remembered though so he kept a mask on when required to move about in public and was confined to his room in the military dorms, to stay out of public sight. While arguing with a guard about his right to move about at least at night time, he was spotted by former Devil's Nest member Martel who sought revenge on him for betraying them. He convinced Al to call her off only to try to kill both of them himself. He failed, though never did report that Al was carrying her around inside of him and swore to make a bomb out of Al one day. He was ordered by the Fuhrer to create a disturbance in Reore in secret to start another rebellion so that the public could be told the refugees had attacked first. He raided the town with a horde of Tucker's chimeras and met with Scar whom he recognized as one of his targets from the war and whose namesake scar was his own sadistic handiwork. He engaged in a two on one fight against Scar and Alphonse. His sadistic tendancies were his end: he made Scar's left arm into a timed bomb, only for Scar to rip off his own arm before skewering Kimblee through the chest with his right. Not to be outdone in his final moments Kimblee reached out to Alphonse and transformed him into a time bomb as well, giddy at fulfilling his promise to make him into a bomb before dying.

Personality: While he never cared for the reason behind the extermination and targeted men, women, children and even superiors who stood in his way he isn't totally indiscriminate. He speaks politely and pays lip service where due. He knows who to obey and when. There aren't many things he cares about, being blasé about his death both times he's confronted with it. He isn't easily flapped by pain, threats, or insults, though when he's outwitted or in a position of clear inferiority, he becomes edgy. He’s shown with a scowl in every scene with Greed until finding his weakness, then smiles calmly with him once secure in his own superiority, is unhappy about being looked down at by Archer until he sees a clear personal benefit and only takes serious aim at Al after being beaten once. He's fond of psychological manipulation and physical cruelty. He lacks a single meaningful relationship in the series but is cooperative and socially capable to manipulative ends. As for redeeming qualities, he does his dirty work himself so you could say has good work ethic? He has a dry and ironic sense of humor and enjoys himself. He's extremely intelligent as a chemist and in being quick to understand things. He was able to identify Envy acting as Gran ((even if comically OOCly)) as a fake in only a few seconds despite having never seen a Homunculus nor other means to suspect such a perfect replication. Despite killing hundreds, he can remember specific victims from Ishbal, such as Scar, to the point of noting how weird it is that he still has his right arm. He was also the first normal human to discover the Homunculi's weak point. His dismissal of the politics behind war when asked by a victim is likely a lack of relevance rather than a lack of understanding. It may also reflect knowing that there is something beneath the surface, though that too is irrelevant for him.

Additional Links: Oh God I'm failing this application so hard. I'd link to Wikipedia or the FMA Wiki or something but their info on him in the anime kind of sucks monkey chunks what with all its inaccuracies.

First Person (entry type): Crying is quite complex whether vocal or lacrimal. If we could focus on the vocal aspect for a few moments: certain frequencies draw more of a response from listeners; specifically, higher frequencies are more alarming. The pattern of crying and silences, the smoothness or roughness, the melody… All predict the degree of peril, from simple hunger, to illness and along increasing levels of agony. Adults express even more complex misery more clearly through words. There is much poetry, art and even music (of a more traditional variety than crying) dedicated to complex expressions of emotion. Yet when it comes to a more primal distress I think that a primal response, even from an adult with so many other options for expression, has its beauty.


Third Person: He was a man of style and yet he loved uniforms. Fashion wasn’t personal taste, it was a show of one’s cultural capital and Kimblee’s style was a display not an expression. It was just as well. If he had any attachments to clothing that reflected society’s finest sensibilities and normalcy, he’d not do very well in a place like the Devil’s Nest. He could pick out an outfit that would leave him neither overdressed in the criminal element nor suspicious if he decided to visit a more civilized part of town. He could enjoy the privileges of both sides of the tracks! Even out of the more humanoid chimeras, not many had that luxury. The boss’s whims were agreeably destructive, and when his greed finally caught up with him, Kimblee at least would be able to slip away freely as an ordinary man. There was little to associate him with a crew of beasts and other alchemical monstrosities. He was no better than said monstrosities but if the public saw a difference thanks to dress and demeanor so much the better! Still he missed uniforms; fashion was a social signal that suggested certain privileges but a military uniform solidly assured them.

We're sorry, but this application has been rejected. We did not get a strong sense of accurate character voice from your samples; we would recommend paying closer attention to the manner in which he speaks and thinks. In addition, we'd recommend breaking your app up with paragraph breaks; long blocks of text become difficult to read and hard to follow. Please feel free to reapply!
