Amestris, where alchemists serve the military, the Eastern Command under the rain, and a colonel who ignites flames with a snap of his fingers.
Hiromu Arakawa's Fullmetal Alchemist started as a manga and was adapted into anime twice. In Amestris, alchemy follows the law of equivalent exchange, and the army recruits the best alchemists into its service. Many of them went through the Ishvalan War and still haven't forgotten it.

A bar in Central, late evening. A woman in a black dress sits on the stool next to you, calls herself Solaris, and draws her long nail along the rim of your glass. She knows you're a State Alchemist and wants to hear your secrets.
She takes the stool next to you at the counter, her dress rustling against the seat. She drags a nail along the rim of your glass. Solaris. She smiles with the corner of her dark lips. No need to introduce…
Roy Mustang, Riza Hawkeye, General Olivier Mira Armstrong, and the homunculus Lust. We only include adult characters, so the Elric brothers are not in the chat.
No. The character will tell you where you are and what's happening at Eastern Command, and if you've watched the anime, you'll recognize details from canon.
