in a way...but Magneto directly controls various metals, while I form chains out of metal atoms and manipulate those.

a cross between Mag and Doc Oc, you could say.

I would be the Garou Shinzou Alchemist, or Wolf-Hearted Alchemist ( I hope I spelled everything right in japanese.) I don't know what kind of powers I would have . Maybe I could turn into a werewolf or something, but that's human transmutation. Human transmutation is bad.

I'd be called the "Wave Alchemist" because I have this thing for water. Granted, I'd be much more powerful than Sloth, who also had water abilities.

heh if i was id be called FullMetalAlchy why i dunno just thought of it off the top of my head (besides ed took the best one lol)

err...Biochemist Alchemist? lol Sounds so lame. I wonder what my power would be like??

well, are you going to transmute human stuff? because it's not possible.

Head-in-Clouds Alchemist, or Sleepin'-Lion-Heart Alchemist... no, really, I wanna be Silent Alchemist.
Stupid me.

Shadow Alchemist would work for me.

i'll be called the Shaman king fan alchemist lol

Otaku alchemist, but its not very catchy

I have no idea if someone said this yet but...

I would like to be the Ice Alchemist.

I would wear gloves like Roy, but instead of them creating sparks, it would slow down the friction in molecules and cause them to freeze over. Not only that, but I'll have an excuse to have numerous evaluaion matches against Mustang. :3

While an ice alchemist is a very cool idea, a glove that slows down the movement of molecules is a little ridiculous. You shouldn't even need that anyway, since things are constantly in the act of cooling, losing inertia. You could merely tap into everything's inherent loss of molecular inertia and freeze it. That way you could freeze things without resorting to ice (but could still use ice when you wanted to, for visual effect or for fun). Much like liquid nitrogen's effect on objects, you would have the abulity to freeze the molecules of the object itself, not just moisture.

Also I think I cooler name for this would "Frost Alchemist."

And I bet if you tried real hard, you could get something down to absolute zero. It'd be like your insanely powerful special technique for really, really tough enemies. Fire would make your transmutations difficult though, since it heats things up and you'd be trying to cool it down. You and Mustang would be an interesting match, to be certain.

He'd generate a huge fire to try and warm things up so you couldn't freeze anything, but then you could super-cool the air just below the fire, thinning it so the fire can't consume oxygen and dies off. Then ice over the ground so it has no traction and Mustang falls over. Mustang then snaps an explosion at you, the heat travels through the air and hits! You go flying, but as you flip over upside down you twist around in midair and manage to touch the ground-- icicles form rapidly, like spears from a hunter's trap, forcing Mustang to dodge and flee instead of following up with another attack! Forming another icicle and breaking it off you hurl it at Mustang, but he's too quick. He snaps and the ice javelin shatters, melted into thousands of droplets-- but that's exactly what you expected him to do and at the wave of your hand the droplets, heated by the fire, becomes a mist which you immediately freeze around Mustang himself! He finds it difficult to move under the weight and restriction of his suit of ice, but while you were distracted with that task, he had enough time to set up another transmutation! You realize what has happened only too late as you feel the heat around your body rise tremendously. There's a BANG! and you spin backwards, just as the frost layer solidifies completely, immobilizing Mustang. Ha! Tie!

Also Frost and Flame could be sent on special missions together, since drying out the air with extreme cold is a good way to prepare for a fire.

Heh, I guess I got kinda carried away there. Oops.

hey, Ghost! you're back!

Electricity is fun to play with but so are people. As my name suggests I'd go with Soul Alchemist. But since human transmutation is illegal and nearly impossible I'd go with the Electric Alchemist. My favorite element.

...if there was, i bet he wouldn't work with roy very much... ~_~ could get ugly. i know that's a way old post, but i'm new to the forum and i found that a very amusing quiestion...

Hmm...if I was a state alchemist...I'd call myself...*plots*

Wow...harder than I thought...I like fire and am totally useless in rain(don't catch me with an umbrella...if always breaks...) like Roy but I can't call myself Flame Alchemist...I like using a school zero-tolerance breaking metal ruler...so shoving those interests together...

Flamy Metal Alchemist! There we go! ^^

i would call myself Full stone alchemist

Ha ha, yeah you can tell it's me from the length of the post. Well it's cool to be welcome Wolfi, thanks.

odd...i thought Roy simply amplified the spark created by his gloves... (hence the red lightning)

I would want to be called the Soul alchemist I dont care if its forbidden i'd find a way

Damn... who knew that my little idea would result in a page response! O_O

Anyway, that all makes sense Ghost... But how exactly would I "...tap into everything's inherent loss of molecular inertia and freeze it."??? Simply touching the ground does not cause icicles to form... Am I wearing some type of a transmuting ring or necklace...? There's no way in hell that I would have enough time to draw a transmutation circle while fighting Mustang. So what's wrong with the gloves? I never said that I was snapping my fingers like Mustang or anything... I just thought of the gloves as the wearable "transumation circle."

I don't think my idea is as "ridiculous" as you claim...

Umm, I guess I would be named the Pure Energy Alchemist A.K.A the Purity Alchemist!
(Corny,I know)

Oh, no totally. My bad, I misunderstood. Naturally you'd have gloves with your freezy-array stitched in. That's a given. I just thought you were suggesting that they be made out of some kind of preposterous "cold-inducing" material.

And Chain Alchemist is correct, Roy is amplifying the heat created by the extreme friction of the special material of his gloves (with the help of the array, as you point out). For Roy this is necessary because he works with heat.

Just as Roy needs some base heat to work with, so too would you require some cooling process in order to expedite it and flash-freeze stuff. This is more convenient for you than Mr. Mustang on account of almost everything is in the act of losing heat. Even on a hot summer day you could use a deep shadow, since as soon as a thing is no longer exposed to the heat source it begins shedding the molecular momentum which creates thermo-kinetic energy. It's just physics, things lose energy. Momentum, electricity, heat. It's all the same principle. Transferrence.

So I meant that you'd be touching the ground WITH your alchemy-array-gloves on.

Did that make more sense? Silly me, I left out the gloves. *embarassed*

nuclear energy is, in a nut shell, the energy keeping an atom intact, and when an atom is "split" it releases that energy. I guess this is kinda like the original post, the Quantam Alchemist... but anyway, some kind of Nuclear Alchemist would be cool as he could use anything as amunition. I was thinking that it would be cool if I had a tattoo of the alchemy array on my chest and could touch, say a park bench, drain it of it's nuclear energy and direct it in a given direction with the wave of my hand. the bench, then drained would dissolve. it could destroy anything. you'd be the most powerful (and possibly the most foolish) of all the alchemists for harnessing such energy. Limitless power!! "Bring it on Mustang! Ya big pussy! I'm not afraid!"

I'm not sure what kind of alchemist I'd be. I like the transmuting with regular metal,like what Ed and Al did when they were little...that's what my original RP character Lin does. (She's Ed and Al's cousin.) But! I would also like to be able to tranmute other things. Like chocolate or tea leaves into tea. XD So,what do you call someone like that??

Ghost: That makes a lot more sense now. =^^= Thanks for sharing!

Plastic Alchemist: Dude, if you enjoy writing about being a "Nuclear Alchemsit," then why is your name the "Plastic ALchemist"? I don't understand... O_O

it's a joke dude, I thought it was funny... y'know plastic.... funny...

Osirian Alchemist

I would be Col. Hansel Krammer, the Icewind Alchemist (Hyoukaze no Renkinjutsushi).

I have a question for the jap speakers. What would be correct?

Koorikaze / Hyoukaze / Koorifuu / Hyoufuu

Thanks in advance.

maybe...something like the ThunderStrike Alchemist, or something like that...something to do with the elements

Well, then you'd be sort of controling the flow of electrons right? I mean there wasn't this 'elements' thing in FMA....

I would liked to be called elemental Alchemist,because i like to use nature to fight.

roy doesn't amplify heat.... he increases the oxygen concentration in the air creating a higher explosive yield for the spark. in truth the only aspect of flame/heat that roy's alchemy creates is in the end result, his alchemy is air based....

I'd use alchemy for whatever I had available...I'd transmute things like armor ships that people who weren't alchemists would use >3 One man can't do everything alone ... mostly offense and also raids and espionage =3 My second name is the Pirate Alchemist. <3

to that i just have to give a hearty ARRRRRRR....

>3 Aye!

Also I have a fanchar called Ellen Dessert who is the Cobalt Alchemist... she uses cobalt's properties to create magnetic electricity and send sparks and what-not at people Oo

Hikari no Hohenheim: Dude. Sounds like Hyoushou no Renkinjutsushi, my OC. XD; She's not a colonel though. Hyoushou = ice crystal. XD; Oh well.

But as for me, I'd be Mizu no Renkinjutsushi (water alchemist for non-jap speakers). It's based on the knowledge I'd already gained while developing Hyoushou no Renkinjutsushi. Water from air and such. I just had to turn the alchemy circle around a bit and I had the one I needed to get water instead of ice. =3

wind alchemist controlling the wind is so fun and if you want you could attack someone without even the other person seeing it because air is invisible, plus you make tornadoes and other natural disasters that deal with wind.

A mechanism of mania and the chemistry of dreams: a hypothesis.

A suggested cause of mania is asynchrony of two biologic clocks that are involved with the sleep-waking mechanism. Increased norepinephrine in the synaptic clefts of the locus ceruleus could quicken the pace of one clock. That same increase in norepinephrine is a possible inducer of euphoria and hyperactivity in mania. The action of melatonin and/or vasotocin on the dorsal raphe nucleus may induce the hallucinatory behavior in mania. Lithium corrects the psychosis by inhibiting adenylate cyclase and slowing the circadian rhythm.

ok whatever that means to me it sounds like a person could manipulate the chemicals in the brain to cause a hallucination. so i would like to have the title of "False Reality Alchemist" and would focus on hallucination and dream like states.

of course my target would have to walk into my circle but i think it would work over all. although i couldn't control the hallucination i still think any false hallucination would work to my favor if needed.

fusion alchemist - jack of all trades, master of one: fusion.

Kamuro - ever thought of how you could transmute wind? You can't brainlessly try and control random elements after all.

That makes far more sense. But when/where is that stated? I don't recall that explanation.

Although I don't think that correction has any effect on my flash-freeze alchemy theory.

I really have no idea about the flash-freeze thing.

both my OC and I would manipulate air, but I would just get the water out of it. She gathers the water and changes the local air temperature to freeze it.

If she uses a lot of it you'd get very dry air. =P Of course, suffice to say this doesn't work in deserts.

Same goes for the water alchemy thing.

Would it be possible to create enough friction between the atoms to create enough heat to make wind go in a direction? Because wind is made from warm and cold fronts. You could also manipulate the air, I don't know how it would do any good., but it's basically made up of 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, and trace other elements. Or maybe you create your wind, (i.e. a wave of the hand creates wind) and you could just control it, like making more and faster. Anyhoos, If it was possible I would specialize in Air/Wind, but be good at other things too, because wind only would be pretty boring. I would be the... Zephyr or Tempest Alchemist. Maybe.

they talk about it in the roy vs ed fight scene, ep 13. also in 51 when he's fighting you know who.

wow, you're just like my OC in my hagaren fanfic (who, in turn, is who i would be if i was a hagaren character)! she uses her alchemy to excite or retard the elemental molecules in the air to create changes in air currents to create and control wind, change temperature, and refract light. freaky!

but i guess it'd be a common idea... controlling elements is something that has been written about for centuries... rats!

HA! Quantun Alchemy is still KING!!!!!!!!!! XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Sounds like the thing Layla/Lyla did. Oo;

But anyway, it also sounds like something my OC's father does.

He creates air pressure by doing something with the atoms, like the thing Lyla did, and like... well there's a burst of air that's painful or something. XD; It creates a pretty weird sound, too.

i suppose it's kind of similar to lyra's alchemy, but ren uses it more for light refraction and to control specific air currents rather than a sudden burst of high-intensity wind the way lyra did... ren uses it for more levitational purposes, if you catch my drift. she can use the air around her to move items/herself/other people (tho it takes much more concentration, obviously, to move larger objects or people).
