[The scene is chaotic, to say the least. It seems to be the middle of a battle, and the camera focus is shaky -- but it still manages to center on a large dog, advancing and snarling. In the next moment, a Xingian throwing-knife strikes the dog in the eye, and it transforms, mid leap, into a snarling, androgynous young man

That was really weird.

What's an homonculi?

[ironysoul]

An alchemical construct. They're supposed to be impossible to create.

[notbritishgdit]

Like..robots?

[ironysoul]

Not exactly. They're organic, like a chimera, and they're supposed to have supernatural powers. Speed, strength, and so on. But they're completely created with Alchemy, not like a chimera where you take two animals and fuse them together.

[notbritishgdit]

Why would anybody fuse two animals together? What happens to their souls?

[Chase is..was catholic :|]

[ironysoul]

[Oh, Chase, you just sent Al to his UNHAPPY place.]

Why - because you create beasts that way. Stronger, faster, much harder to kill. They make very good weapons.

As for what happens to their souls... Nothing. They stay, just as they are.

[notbritishgdit]

[Sorry Al :( ]

What a stupid thign to do.

Two souls in one body?

[ironysoul]

That's what it seems like.

[notbritishgdit]

It's disturbing.

[ironysoul]

At least -- the ones made from animals don't seem to realize what's been done to them.

[notbritishgdit]

That's not a excuse.

You can use your powers to creat that creatures?

[ironysoul]

I guess I could, but I don't like chimera. Neither does Brother. The theory makes me feel -- dirty, I guess.

[notbritishgdit]

No offense Al, but I'm not sure if I like all that Alchemy of your world. It seems to do more harm than good.

[ironysoul]

I'm not offended. You've seen the worst of it -- Alchemy is supposed to help everyone; that's why the creed is, "Alchemist, be thou for the people," but it's a tool. it's like any tool, it depends more on who's using it, and it seems like some of the people...

I think, maybe, if you met our Sensei, or Colonel Mustang, you'd feel differently. Although Colonel Mustang likes to pretend he doesn't care...

[notbritishgdit]

Your Sensei is that woman that left you and your brother in the islan with that crazy man, correct?

Colonel Mustang,? What can he do?

[ironysoul]

Uhm. Yes. But she's really nice when she's not totally scary.

The colonel's specialty is controlling flame.
