skyler. 25+. they/them. utc-6.
this is a moderate activity, timeline and canon divergent, independent roleplay blog forĀ roy mustang of fullmetal alchemist, with headcanons (as well as canon applications) based on '03, FMAB, and the manga that isĀ open to other fandoms, ocs,Ā crossovers, &Ā aus. i have been roleplaying for 14+ years.

o1.Ā no ooc drama.Ā PERIOD.Ā this is your one &Ā onlyĀ warningāĀ iĀ willĀ hard block youĀ everywhere.
do NOT "warn" me about other muns or show me callout posts OR callout blogs. i will make such decisions for myself.
i do not care what you ship OR write, as i, too, write Problematic Content (obviously).
do not force your ships on meĀ &Ā do NOT tell me what i canĀ &Ā cannot ship.
do not put ship hate on my dash. do not start drama with people over ships.
this is a non-judgemental zone, so you need not worry about offending my delicate sensibilities.Ā
o2.Ā noĀ god moddingĀ /Ā metagaming.
o3.Ā you should at very leastĀ tryĀ to reblog the memes you want your mutuals to send to you to your museās blog from their source, although i don't care if you reblog from me directly.
o4. i am not going to list my various mental and physical disabilities to justify explaining why you shouldn't be acting entitled to my time and energy as a roleplayer. ifĀ you want to continue or pick up a thread we have written, i encourage you to nudge meĀ (within reason). do not use this as an excuse to harass or manipulate me into replying to you faster.
o6.Ā platonicĀ &Ā romantic shipping is my jam. fast shipping? slow burn? fated pairs? meet-cutes? good stuff, it's in the itinerary! however,Ā i will absolutelyĀ notĀ ship royĀ romantically with underage musesĀ &Ā i will not write smut withĀ anyĀ mun under the age of 21.
i will not, under any circumstance, write these ships: royed, royal, roywinry, roygluttony, or roypride.
please do not ask me to write these ships.
while i am not here SOLELY for shipping, i do love to ship, and will ship most ships with those who want to explore one with roy, especially if there's chemistry.
casual sex and friends with benefits are fine. sex in general is fine. roy is used to other people using his body (if you stick around long enough, you'll see this is mentally taxing for him and is a huge problem), but where smut is concerned, please write smut with royĀ onlyĀ under read mores & tagged properlyĀ or written offsite (such as on discord).
know that this blogĀ isĀ NSFW; not only is smut probably going to happen regularly, adultĀ subjectsĀ willĀ pop up because my muse is an adult who does adult things.
there ARE lines i will not cross, such as pedophilia, rape, incest, etc. please do not ask me to write these subjects.
the only things i will reference in my writing are roy's own sexual trauma, his own abuse at the hands of others, and the genocide he has committed.
please do not ask me to write out scenes with this content that come at the hands of or are the cause of your muse.
it is intensely triggering for me to do so, so unless i am writing out scenes that include sequences such as traumatic flashbacks or nightmares OR roy informing another muse of what happened to him in the past, i will not be writing those subjects out any further than that.
o7.Ā cw/tw for dark themes. another reminder: aĀ lot of this contentĀ will happen in my writing since a lot of it is canon. fma is literally an allegory for/was written based on ww2, soĀ let me know if you see me forget to tag something or if you need me to add a unique tag to myĀ tags listĀ forĀ yourĀ blacklist.Ā
o8.Ā icĀ = / =Ā ooc.Ā i do not condone what my muse says or does. the things roy says and does can be Bad, and even extremely manipulative, although other factors, such as his PTSD, may cause him to act in unexpected ways, such as to triggers. contact me if things are getting too heated for you on an ooc level! i don't mind diverting plot, retconning, or simply starting overā these are fictional charactersĀ &Ā as my roleplay partner, your comfort is my priority.
o9.Ā the icons i use are from the cartoonĀ & manga/or were ripped by other people &Ā were edited byĀ me. i would appreciate being askedĀ before you use them! @uselesswhenwet was the one who gave me their icons originally, so i would suggest asking them for permission before taking them from me.
1o.Ā you can either message me for more contact information or to shoot the breeze ooclyĀ (Ā apologies ahead of time, i am probably going to be shyĀ )!
thanks,Ā &Ā let's have fun!Ā ā„
BIO
THE FLAME ALCHEMIST "A King exists for his people. Without people, there is no King."
āā OVERVIEW
*Ā Ā NAME: Roy Mustang
*Ā TITLE/ALIAS: The Flame Alchemist/Hero of Ishval
*Ā Ā MILITARY RANK: Colonel (State Alchemist)
*Ā Ā AFFILIATION: Amestrian State Military (Central Command/formerly East City)
*Ā Ā AGE: 29ā35 (Versatile based on AU)
*Ā Ā BIRTH SIGN: Aries Sun āļø / Scorpio Moon āļø / Libra Rising āļø
āā VITAL STATISTICS
*Ā Ā HEIGHT: 5'7" (170 cm)
*Ā Ā HAIR: Raven black, kept in casual military cut. Frequently falls into his eyes when out of uniform.
*Ā Ā EYES: Obsidian. Capable of shifting from a lazy, heavy lidded bedroom stare to a terrifyingly cold, dead stillness in a fraction of a second.
*Ā Ā SCARS/IDENTIFYING MARKS: Severe burn wounds across his left lower back, side, and abdomen. Deep, unhealed psychological scars, mainly but not entirely from the Ishvalan Civil War.Ā (PTSD, Depersonalization Disorder, Panic/Anxiety Disorder, Substance Abuse Disorder)
*Ā Ā KEY EQUIPMENT: Custom made white ignition cloth gloves embroidered with the Flame Alchemy transmutation circle. A silver pocket watch (the sigil of the State Alchemists). A pack of cigarettes and a silver lighter tucked into his breast pocket.
āā PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE
To the casual observer, Colonel Mustang is a textbook hedonist: a slick, arrogant, womanizing bachelor who spends more time dodging paperwork and chasing skirts than doing actual military work.
It is an act.
Beneath the meticulously crafted facade of a vain, shallow social climber lies a brilliant, hypervigilant tactician with a staggering capacity for guilt. Haunted by his actions as a human weapon in the Ishvalan Civil War, Roy's entire existence is driven by the ruthless resolve to overthrow the corrupt military regime from the inside out. He carries the weight of a murderer trying to build a democracy, and he fully expects to pay for his sins with his own ruin once his goal is achieved.Ā
*Ā Ā IN BATTLE: Lethal, precise, and utterly terrifying. He does not fight fair. He incinerates the oxygen in a room before his opponents can draw breath.
*Ā Ā IN PRIVATE: Deeply loyal, fiercely protective of his subordinates, and prone to dark, brooding periods of sleeplessness, especially when it rains.
āā ALCHEMICAL CAPABILITIES
Roy is the sole practitioner of **Flame Alchemy**, a highly destructive discipline that manipulates the concentration of oxygen in the surrounding air.Ā
*Ā Ā Mechanism: By snapping his fingers while wearing his ignition gloves, he creates a spark. He then uses alchemy to create a dense pathway of oxygen between himself and his target, causing a localized explosion.
*Ā Ā Control: He is capable of splitting his attacks using his right hand for massive, devastating blasts, and his left hand for pin point, surgical strikes (such as boiling the water in an opponent's eyes or cauterizing a wound).
*Ā Ā Weakness: Water. When it rains, the high humidity disperses the oxygen currents, rendering his sparks useless. (Do not remind him of this).
