History Characters / FullmetalAlchemist2003

* AbledInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler: Unlike the manga and ''Brotherhood'', he doesn't get paralyzed by Lust.]]

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His last name can be alternatively be spelled "Bloch", but it also requires a different pronunciation.

%%* HotLibrarian

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Sheska? Schezka? Schieska? Schiezka...?

* HeKnowsTooMuch: He is [[spoiler:killed by the Homunculi to prevent him from interfering in their plans for Scar.]]

* BusCrash: [[spoiler:He is last seen not even halfway into the series when Lust and Gluttony break into the hotel he's at to hold him hostage. He is mentioned frequently throughout the series after that, but it isn't until the penultimate episode that he is revealed to [[KilledOffScreen have been eaten by Gluttony]].]]

* DeathSeeker: He wants to die for what he did to the Ishbalans, [[spoiler:which he does.]].
* DefectorFromDecadence: He left the war for the guilt in participating in the Ishbalan massacre [[spoiler: he never lives long enough to redeem himself of his guilt]].

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In this continuity, not only does she [[spoiler: lose her infant son]] and experience the trauma and horror from [[spoiler:attempting human transmutation]] but [[spoiler:her son comes back as a Homunculus,]] and she experiences all the moral dilemmas that come with it. Her lost organs and coughing up blood are also played much more for drama [[spoiler: to the point she actually dies.]]

* AdaptationalWimp: Downplayed. Izumi's still a badass, but unlike her manga counterpart who was practically an indestructible powerhouse, here she ends up getting overpowered a handful of times [[DisabledInTheAdaptation due to her missing organs hindering her]] and is almost killed by Greed and later Archer.

* {{Determinator}}: Like in the manga, she seems to hang on by sheer willpower [[spoiler:despite of several of her organs being damaged or outright missing.]]
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: In the manga [[spoiler:her organs are rearranged to make things easier on her]]. This doesn't occur in the anime [[spoiler:which causes her to die during the timeskip between the anime's ending and TheMovie]].
* DreadlockRasta: Her hair style resembles this, though it's supposed to be braids.

* GoneHorriblyRight: Zigzagged. She attempted to transmute her baby back to life using his own remains. [[spoiler:She succeeded at returning him as a not only a Homunculus, but a NighInvulnerable, alchemy-capable Homunculus.]] However, [[GoneHorriblyWrong she was displeased with the results]] and [[spoiler:left him at the Gate to die, with horrible and tragic consequences once he escaped the Gate with Edward's limbs.]]

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Izumi immediately regrets [[spoiler:abandoning her son at the Gate when he starts to cry and even reaches for him, but it's too late.]]
* MyGreatestFailure: She considers her transmutation of her son to be this. [[spoiler:It gets even worse when he escapes the Gate and she recognizes him as her abandoned son.]]
* OffingTheOffspring: Subverted. [[spoiler:Izumi starts choking her son Wrath when she thinks he's become a monster, but can't go through with it.]] Unfortunately, the attempt drives Wrath the side of the other homunculi.
* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:She left her reborn son at the Gate to die. However, once he comes back she immediately recognizes him and becomes determined to make up for her actions and protect him at all costs.]]
* ParentalSubstitute: To the Elrics, who seem to treat her almost like a mother. She appears to reciprocate.
* PlayedForDrama: Her IncurableCoughOfDeath, unlike in the manga and ''Brotherhood'' where it is also PlayedForLaughs on occasion. [[spoiler:And unlike in the manga, it is incurable and eventually kills her.]]
* StepfordSmiler: She acts strong and all, but hid from almost everyone the terrible and heartbreaking reason why she coughs up blood.

* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's largely a rather sweet and kind hearted woman, but when it comes to either the military or Ed and Al's screw ups, she becomes extremely cold and angry, usually to a comical degree.

* ToughLove: Her treatment of the Elrics. Upon learning the two had committed human transmutation, she beat the crap out of them and then hugged them.

%%* IdiotHair

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Rose vs. Rozé.

* ForgottenFallenFriend: "Friend" is pushing it, but Lust only recalls him ''once'' afterward following his episode and only in passing. Hell, the good guys never bring up Lydia or Lujon again [[spoiler:after their deaths.]] Especially egregious considering that the following episode has Ed briefly recall other people who died during their adventures across Amestris, but acts as if the previous episode never even occurred.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:How Lust kills him.]]

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: So much that [[spoiler:she aids the Thule Society thinking that, if she reaches Amestris, she won't be discriminated against there.]]

* PsychopathicManchild: Kimblee is a little too keen on playing with explosives and, as seen during a flashback he greatly enjoyed blowing Scar apart one piece at a time.

* InconsisentSpelling: Is it Marta or Martel? Dorochet or Dorochete?

* InconsistentSpelling: Kimblee/Kimbley and Solf/Zolf.

* InconsisentSpelling: Is it Marta or Martel? Dorochet or Dorochete?

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Was a major {{Jerkass}} and dies at Scar's hand.]]

* OffingTheOffspring: Subverted. [[spoiler:Izumi starts choking her son Wrath when she thinks he's become a monster, but can't go through with it.]] Unfortunately, the attempt drives Wrath the side of the other Homunculi.

* CompleteMonster: Almost all of the tropes listed here should tell you just how horrible this guy is.

* PsychopathicManchild: Kimblee is a little too keen on playing with explosives and as seen during a flashback, and he greatly enjoyed blowing Scar apart one piece at a time.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it Marta or Martel? Dorochet or Dorochete?

* {{Sadist}}: ''Very'' much so. He kills and maims simply because it amuses him.

* PsychopathicManchild: Definitely so. Kimblee is a little too keen on playing with explosives and as seen during a flashback, he greatly enjoyed blowing Scar apart one piece at a time.

* Sadist: ''Very'' much so. He kills and maims simply because it amuses him.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Amazingly, the 2003 series takes a character who was already evil and makes him even more evil. As mentioned below, the manga and ''Brotherhood'' Kimblee was still a definite villain, but one with [[WickedCultured sophistication]] and principles. In this version? He enjoys slaughtering people left and right, not even caring for his own life. The original Kimblee was satisfied knowing that what he did was [[MyCountryRightOrWrong for his country]], although admittedly enjoyed his slaughter of the Ishbalans a bit too much. This Kimblee doesn’t care and simply enjoys the chance to make others suffer. [[spoiler: Kimblee's last act in the manga is also to [[VillainousRescue stop Pride from killing Ed,]] whereas here he dies fighting Scar after turning Al into a living bomb.]]

* CharacterExaggeration: Manga Kimblee is a cultured, philosophical Darwinist with a sadistic streak and a love of explosions. The anime version of Kimblee only has those last two traits--that last one tweaked into a love of making people ''into'' explosives. Plus, while manga Kimblee is AffablyEvil, 2003 Kimblee can barely even be called FauxAffablyEvil. Justified, since when the 2003 anime was being made, Kimblee had only made a cameo and all there was to base his character on was the implications that the Ishbal campaign had for him.

* DyingSmirk: [[spoiler:He smiles about having transformed Al into a bomb before he finally dies.]]

* LackOfEmpathy: Had no qualms blowing anyone up, even innocent Ishbalan civilians. This extends to ''[[WouldHitAGirl women]] and [[WouldHurtAChild children]]'', who he even ''boasts'' about killing.

* MysteriousMiddleInitial: What the J stands for is never revealed.

* TokenEvilTeammate: When working for Greed, that is. Unlike most of them who are outcasts and former lab rats, Kimblee is just a mad dog with no morals whatsoever. Needless to say, he betrays Greed as soon as the perfect opportunity arises. Subverts this while working for the military, considering how some of them are just as bad as he is.
* TokenHuman: The only member of the Devil's Nest gang who is neither homunculus nor chimera (human in the literal sense, at least.)
* SociopathicSoldier: When he was a state alchemist.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Kimblee/Kimbley.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: He's part of Greed's gang of chimeras here, whereas in the manga and ''Brotherhood'' he's not freed from prison until after they're killed.

The anime version of Kimblee only has those last two traits--that last one tweaked into a love of making people ''into'' explosives.

* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: [[spoiler: Killed by Scar instead of being maimed by one of his former henchmen, consumed by Pride then fading into oblivion after the Homunculus is killed.]]

* HateSink: Unlike his Manga/Brotherhood counterpart who is AffablyEvil and genuinely quite charming, this Kimblee is a straight up monster with zero redeeming qualities and an extremely smug and condescending personality.

* LackOfEmpathy: Had no qualms blowing anyone up, even innocent Ishbalan civilians. This extends to ''women and children''.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Mostly in his backstory. In the manga/''Brotherhood'', he [[spoiler:had no idea about Homunculus' plan to sacrifice all of Xerxes to transform himself and Homunculus into living Philosopher's Stones and is just living with the consequences of Homunculus' actions]]. In the 2003 anime, however, he [[spoiler:for many years has been willing to sacrifice large populations to create Philosopher's Stones so he can keep on living, just like Father and Dante, and wiped out hundreds if not thousands of people to make one]]. Likewise, when it comes to his abandoning of the family, his motivations in particular are much less noble. In the manga/''Brotherhood'', [[spoiler:he left out of necessity to counteract against Father's plans for The Promised Day- something which would have killed his family anyway had he not done anything]], while in the 2003 anime [[spoiler:he just didn't want Trisha and the children to know his true nature, and for that reason abandoned them. He wasn't even aware for quite some time of Dante's plans for his children, and potentially wouldn't have intervened if they hadn't involved them]]. However, by the time the series starts he's settled down with Trisha, and he's no longer walking this rather dark path. He is by no means an antagonist (or even a bad guy at this point), but he's certainly ''not'' the BigGood he was in the manga and ''Brotherhood''.

* ForgivenessEqualsDeath: Implied to be why he [[spoiler:commits suicide in the movie by impaling himself on Envy's teeth, wishing to finally appease his firstborn son. Considering Envy's expression is unreadable (no thanks to being stuck in dragon form) and he doesn't say anything in response to this, it's left unknown if Hohenheim achieved his final goal or not.]]

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Implied to be why he [[spoiler:commits suicide in the movie by impaling himself on Envy's teeth, wishing to finally appease his firstborn son. Considering Envy's expression is unreadable (no thanks to being stuck in dragon form) and he doesn't say anything in response to this, it's left unknown if Hohenheim achieved his final goal or not.]]

* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: A cold, unsettling military commander with black or dark gray hair and unnaturally pale skin.

* SanitySlippage: Loses quite a bit of his cool after [[spoiler:being rebuilt as a cyborg.]]

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Self-infllicted via dragon Envy's fangs in the movie.]]

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Via dragon Envy's fangs in the movie.]]

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Implied to be why he [[spoiler:commits suicide in the movie via Envy, wishing to finally appease his firstborn son. Considering Envy's expression is unreadable (no thanks to being stuck in dragon form) and he doesn't say anything in response to this, it's difficult to say if Hohenheim achieved his final goal or not.]]

* AdaptationalJerkass: Unlike in ''Brotherhood'', where [[DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou he left his family for good reasons]], here his motivations were entirely selfish; [[spoiler:he didn't want Trisha and his children to realize who he was, so he abandoned them.]]

* BodyHorror: We find out that [[spoiler:due to his regular body jumping over the centuries, his soul has become weaker and weaker due to leaving a small part behind every time he jumps. Now, any body he inhabits begins to rot, causing him to wear very covering clothing though even that can't hide the smell.]]

* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Ends his life in ''Conqueror of Shamballa'' when he's trapped between dragon Envy's jaws, pulling down on his son's mouth so that he gets impaled.]]

* LightIsNotGood: [[spoiler:[[PlayingWithATrope Played with]]. He was known as "Hohenheim of Light" for centuries, and he likely pulled a number of {{Grand Theft Me}}s over the years, but he's always portrayed as kind and sympathetic (except by Ed), and very repentant of his past.]]

* MrFanservice: We get a brief (and tasteful) flashback of him and Trisha making love at one point. For a 400-year-old man, he looks pretty good without a shirt on. [[FanDisservice At least until we see]] [[spoiler:the patches of him that are rotting]].

* ParentalAbandonment: He abandoned both the Elric brothers [[spoiler:and Envy, the homunculus created from his child.]]
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Implied to be why he [[spoiler:kills himself in the movie via Envy, wishing to finally appease his firstborn son. Considering Envy's expression is unreadable (no thanks to being stuck in dragon form) and he doesn't say anything in response to this, it's difficult to say if Hohenheim achieved his final goal.]]

* NotSoDifferentRemark: Tries to pull this on Ed, but it doesn't work.

* ShadowArchetype: [[spoiler:He's a twisted reflection of Ed, someone caught between love and alchemy. And more importantly, his NotSoDifferentRemark carries far greater weight as while Ed acted out of love, he also acted out of pride to prove that he could do it, claiming that the forbidden label was just to cover for the past alchemists' failures]].

* AssholeVictim: He was a cruel and smug manipulator who murders animals to be used as horrific weapons, surfice to say no one gave a shit when he ended up becoming Gluttony's dinner.
