RULES & BIO
skyler. 25+. they/them. utc-6.
this is a moderate activity, timeline and canon divergent, independent roleplay blog for greed of fullmetal alchemist, with headcanons (as well as canon applications) based on '03, FMAB, and the manga that is open to other fandoms, ocs, crossovers, & aus. i have been roleplaying for 14+ years.
before proceeding, be warned: the contents of this blog are NSFW, so please do not follow me if you are a minor. there will be themes and mentions of politics, fascism and nationalism, genocide, war, mentions of war, varying degrees of violence, weapons usage, varying degrees of abuse, assault, themes of suicide and suicidal ideation, substance abuse, sex, systemic racism, state violence, militaric brutalism, murder, homicidal ideation and homicide, etc.
o1. no ooc drama. PERIOD. this is your one & only warning— i will hard block you 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 me & do NOT tell me what i can & 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.
o2. no god modding / metagaming.
o3. you should at very least try to reblog the memes you want your mutuals to send to you to your muse’s 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. if you want to continue or pick up a thread we have written, i encourage you to nudge me (within reason). do not use this as an excuse to harass or manipulate me into replying to you faster.
o6. i will absolutely not ship greed romantically with underage muses & i will not write smut with any mun under the age of 21.
i will not, under any circumstances, write ships that involve greed romantically OR sexually with ANY of the other homunculi.
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 greed, especially if there's chemistry.
casual sex and friends with benefits are fine. sex in general is fine, but where smut is concerned, please write smut with greed only under read mores & tagged properly or written offsite (such as on discord).
PLEASE know that greed is VERY HARD to get close to romantically (with humans).
know that this blog is NSFW; not only is smut probably going to happen regularly, adult subjects will 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.
o7. cw/tw for dark themes. another reminder: a lot of this content will happen in my writing since a lot of it is canon. fma is literally an allegory for/was written based on ww2, so let me know if you see me forget to tag something or if you need me to add a unique tag to my tags list for your blacklist.
o8. ic = / = ooc. i do not condone what my muse says or does. the things greed says and does can be Bad, and even extremely shitty and/or abusive. he is a literal fucking sin or, as some would say, a demon. be real with yourself and understand he will definitely behave and say things in problematic ways.
contact me if things are getting too heated for you on an ooc level! i don't mind diverting plot, retconning, or simply starting over— these are fictional characters & as my roleplay partner, your comfort is my priority.
o9. the icons i use are from the cartoon & manga/or were ripped by other people & were edited by me. i would appreciate being asked 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. you can either message me for more contact information or to shoot the breeze oocly ( apologies ahead of time, i am probably going to be shy )!
thanks, & let's have fun! ♥
FIRST MUSE
Greed the Avaricious (Original Form)
"I want money. I want women. I want status and power... and if you want to know the truth, I want everything this world has to offer!"
✦ DOSSIER
Name: Greed (The Avaricious)
Apparent Age: 28 (Chronologically 200+ years old)
Birth Date: Unknown (Created by Father)
Zodiac Sign: Leo Sun, Sagittarius Moon, Aries Rising
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual (He wants everything and everyone)
Height: 6'2" (188 cm)
Weight: 195 lbs (88 kg) — Significantly heavier when density shifting his shield
✦ APPEARANCE
In his original, true form, Greed looks every bit the arrogant, highrolling gang leader. He appears as a tall, broad-shouldered man in his prime, possessing an athletic and muscular build that radiates physical intimidation. His most striking features are his sharp, angular facial structure, intensely vivid red eyes, and a perpetual, cocky smirk that frequently flashes rows of sharp, almost shark-like teeth. His jet black hair is styled into thick, wild spikes that thrust backwards, giving him a permanently aggressive, unruly silhouette.
His wardrobe reflects his flashy, rebellious nature and love for luxury. He is almost always seen wearing a sleeveless black or dark purple vest adorned with a thick, white fur trimmed collar, paired with tight black pants and matching combat boots. He frequently wears a pair of dark, wire rimmed sunglasses, even indoors or at night, purely for the aesthetic. Crucially, the Ouroboros tattoo symbolizing his Homunculus nature is stamped on the back of his left hand.
✦ PSYCHE & PERSONALITY
Greed is defined by an unapologetic desire to possess everything the world has to offer. Money, power, status, attractive people, and ultimately immortality— if it exists, he wants ownership of it. He views the concept of denying one's desires as the ultimate form of self-deception. He is loud, boastful, fiercely independent, and insubordinate, having abandoned Father and his fellow Homunculi a century ago because he refused to let anyone rule over him.
However, his avarice comes with a deeply ironic sense of honor and loyalty. Greed values his possessions above all else, and that includes the people under his care. He treats his gang of chimera not as disposable pawns, but as treasures. His code is simple: he never lies, he never cheats women, and he absolutely will not kill or abandon his own people. To Greed, losing a single follower is an insult to his greed, because a real boss doesn't let anyone steal what belongs to him.
✦ COMBAT STYLE & ABILITIES
Greed is a hyperaggressive brawler who relies on overwhelming physical dominance, functional immortality, and his signature defense. He doesn't use weapons because he is the weapon.
Greed's unique gift allows him to manipulate the carbon atoms within his own body. By rearranging these atoms, he can instantly coat his skin in a black, armor-like layer of dense carbon. He can choose to shield specific areas (like a forearm to block a blade) or encase his entire body with it.
When completely encased by this shield, his appearance transforms into a monstrous, featureless specter with a mask-like face and razor sharp, diamond hard claws. In this form, he is impervious to physical harm. Bullets bounce off him, blades shatter against him, and explosions leave him unscathed.
Even without his shield, Greed possesses superhuman strength, speed, and reflexes, coupled with the standard high speed Homunculus regeneration. He fights dirty, using heavy strikes, sweeping kicks, and tearing gouges with his claws.
Because his shield is carbon based, an alchemist who understands the precise atomic breakdown of carbon (like Edward Elric) can transmute his skin into soft, brittle graphite. Furthermore, Greed cannot regenerate and maintain the shield simultaneously; his cells must be fluid to heal, meaning a perfectly timed strike right after breaking his armor can catch him off guard.
✦ RULES OF THE AVARICE
Verses: Strictly First Form/Devil's Nest era. No Ling Yao integration.
Shipping: ❝ You belong to me now. And I don't let anyone touch my things. ❞ Greed is possessive. If he claims your muse as his, no open or polyamorous relationships will be happening here.
SECOND MUSE
The Avarice of the Prince
Name: Greedling (inhabiting the vessel of Ling Yao) Alias: The Ultimate Shield Status: Homunculus (post Promised Day) Origin: Amestris (Vessel: Xing) Star Sign: Leo Height: 5'11" Weight: 165 lbs Gender: Male Sexual Orientation: Demisexual (bordering heavily on Asexual)
The Vessel of Ambition
He exists as a man carved from pure desire, though the vessel he occupied is not his own. Ling Yao's soul is suppressed, buried deep beneath the weight of the Homunculus's consciousness. There is no duality, no internal struggle, and no sharing of the mind. There is only Greed, piloting the stolen body with predatory grace that betrays his unnatural origins.
He moves with an arrogant, fluid ease, his dark hair falling across eyes that burn with a haunting sort of intensity, violet in color. While the body belongs to a prince of the East, every gesture— from the curve of his smirk to the way he carried his shoulders— is defined by the cold, calculating hunger of a creature that wants nothing less than everything. He is the Ultimate Shield, a masterpiece of carbon and malice, draped in the shadow of a man who no longer has a voice.
The Nature of Avarice
He does not bother with the pretenses of humanity. He walks through the world with an insatiable appetite, collecting power, influence, and pleasures as if they are his birthright with one goal: to claim the Earth for himself. He takes whatever catches his attention without hesitation or remorse. He views his existence as a throne, and he intends to sit upon it until the world bends to his demands.
Rules of Engagement
The AU: Canon compliant to the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Greedling arc with lots of headcanons to be added along the way.
The Vessel: There is no internal dialogue and no cooperation between host and parasite, so no Ling Yao.
Greedling's Boundaries: Weakness is beneath him. He demands competence, ambition, or at the very least, an entertaining show of defiance.
"Greed may not be good, but it's not so bad, either. You humans think greed is just for money and power. But everyone wants something they don't have."
Available on request (or, y'know, whenever mun feels like it/has muse for him)!
