#METAL ALCHEMIST GREED BACKGROUND FULL#

He also bonds with Edward, despite getting into fights with him. He does get annoyed when Ling tries to take over his body, especially without his permission, though the two manage to work together well as a team. He also slowly develops a bond with Ling, whose body he shares and whose greed nearly matches his, and the prince helps him realize what he truly desires. However, after killing one of his surviving friends, Bido, he remembers his past and develops a grudge against Wrath for what he had done. He retained his mocking arrogant, easygoing personality but initially had a complete loyalty to Father, faithfully doing his job. In the end, he even grows to respect their power and tenacity.Īfter being killed and reborn, he initially had no memories of his former life. In addition, while he seems to see humans as weak and powerless, he never had sociopath tendencies or even hatred towards humans the way the other homunculi did. On a side note, he seems very charismatic and has shown good leadership skills, first with his chimera friends and later with Edward, Darius, and Heinkel, which he attributes to how he earns and deserve their loyalty in the first place. However, he shows some capacity for adapting to his fights and is willing to protect his allies (and later innocent civilians). While he normally possesses a calm, confident nature, when angered he can be rather impulsive and ready to go into a fight with those he feels have wronged him. In addition, he states he never lies (though he tells only one lie in order to save Ling's life). He claims to not hurt women and (to an extent) children. He is also somewhat narcissistic, claiming part of the reason he doesn't use his ultimate shield to his fullest extent is because it masks his attractive face. He has an easygoing, charismatic, arrogant personality and tends to do what he wants. He is the only homunculus to defy Father, and the only one to openly taunt him. It could be said that the reason why he wanted all that life has to offer was because Greed didn't know exactly what he wanted from it, which fuels his desire to have it all. Greed, as his name implies, is filled with and motivated by his avaricious nature. And killing them is like stealing from me. Henchmen are like money and women: possessions. His Ouroboros tattoo is located on the back of his left hand in both incarnations. His overall facial features are a reflection of his inner self, which takes the form of a red devil's head with skull-like features, notably: fangs and slit eyes. In this form, Greed's sharp teeth become more pronounced, with two lower fangs rising just above his upper lip. The sclera of both eyes become red, while his irises turn white. In his 'Ultimate Shield' form, Greed has dark blue skin, razor-sharp finger nails, and a pronounced spinal column, while his ears and hair disappear beneath his blue skin. When possessed Ling's bangs are also moved to the other side of his forehead. While possessing Ling Yao, Greed looks exactly like Ling, but with slit pupils, purple irises, and he kept his eyes opened in the same manner as his previous body. He briefly wore a pair of sunglasses with round lenses.

Around each of his wrists, Greed wore four black leather wrist belts with metal claps, that seem to disappear when he goes full shield, and when he's regenerating his arm. His shirt is the same navy blue as his armor form in the 2003 anime, while in the 2009 anime it has a reddish brown hue. Beneath his jacket, Greed wears a skintight shirt similar to the clothes worn by his homunculus siblings. In the 2003 anime, his pants and shoes have a dark green hue, while in the 2009 anime they're colored black. Greed dresses in leather, sporting a short, black jacket with a fur collar, black leather pants, and shoes with upward tips. Among his most noticeable features were Greed's purple eyes with thin, cat-like pupils, and razor-sharp teeth. In his original body, Greed resembled a tall and muscular young adult with short, spiky, black hair that is kept slicked back.
