Edward Elric
Commonly nicknamed "Ed", is the main protagonist of the series. Edward is famous for being the youngest State Alchemist of the country and winning the title of "Fullmetal Alchemist". Edward is of short stature, and typically reacts in an exaggerated manner to any remarks about his height. After losing his right arm and left leg as a result of a failed human transmutation and the binding of Alphonse's soul to a suit of armour, he received Auto-Mail prosthetics. He starts searching for the Philosopher's Stone, rumoured to increase the power of the Alchemist who uses it. Edward seeks the stone so that he may restore his missing limbs, and more importantly reunite his younger brother Alphonse's body with his soul, which was tragically trapped in a suit of armor after a failed attempt through Alchemy to revive the dead Tricia Elric, the boys' mother. Edward realizes he has a gift, a gift that most State Alchemists could only dream of having. But he knows that with that gift he becomes a high profile target. As Edward reluctantly fights off a crazed assassin who vows revenge on all State Alchemists, Edward begins to unravel the clues that reveal that not all is as it seems at the highest levels of the State Military. And, that there is a terrible secret behind the precious Philosopher's Stone.
Alphonse Elric
Often nicknamed "Al," Alphonse Elric is Edward's younger brother and an innocent young child with many tragic chains of events which changed his life forever. First, his father mysteriously vanished while Al was too young to remember. Then, after battling a terrible illness, Al’s mother succumbed to death. Finally, during a horrific accident performing forbidden Alchemy, Al’s body was sealed inside a suit of armour. Undaunted and unashamed by all that has happened in his short life, Al carries on, eternally supporting Edward in his search for the Philosopher’s Stone, a legendary gem with the power to restore Al’s body and Edward’s lost limbs.
Roy Mustang
A State Alchemist known as the "Flame Alchemist" due to his ability to create fire with his gloves. He personally knew Edward and Alphonse’s father, which sparked his curiosity once he discovered that Hohenheim’s sons were dabbling in alchemical arts. Also as Edward's direct superior officer in the military, he is eager to climb the ladder to become the Führer, the leader of the military and hopes that discovering the immense talent within Edward helps him ascend the ranks. Still, Mustang’s soldiers are the most loyal in all of the State Army claiming there is more to this man than his thirst for power.
Winry Rockbell
A mechanical expert who is a childhood friend of the Elrics . She, along with her grandmother Pinako, built Edward's Auto-Mail, and also helps to maintain it when it gets broken. She is much more comfortable in a garage or breaking down and rebuilding complicated mechanical devices than anywhere else. Her parents were called into service as doctors during the Ishvalan Civil War and were killed while treating the injured. In the manga, they are killed by the Ishvalan Scar while in the anime, they are killed by the State Alchemist Roy Mustang.
Scar
One of the few surviving Ishvalans. His real name is never revealed, but he is referred to as "Scar" because of the X-shaped scar on his face. Like Ed, Scar is able to use alchemy without a Transmutation Circle. Scar both hates and embraces his “curse.” He has a special grudge against State Alchemists because of past atrocities towards his homeland of Ishbal. The Ishbal Massacre was a vicious military offensive against Ishbal due to conflicting doctrines because the citizens would not put aside their traditional beliefs and embrace Alchemy. Scar believes his god has instilled in him the right to kill State Alchemists at will for what they have done to his people. He truly believes his cause is righteous, no matter what it takes.
