* The energy in a Philosopher's Stone is essentially currency for alchemy. Rather than using the normal barter system to exchange two pigs for a donkey, you can use a philosopher's stone to buy whatever you want. Sure, you can use it to change lead into gold, but it's just as easy to go "Presto! Now I have a mountain of gold!" Human souls are worth quite a lot, which is why human transmutation always fails when you're trying to make a human from scratch. Al gave up his entire body to obtain a soul for their "mother," and even then it was his own soul that was going to be used. So, you can trade one for pretty much anything else.

All you'd have to trade for would be the soul. You wouldn't have to create a body or anything - you just need to retrieve the soul, and all the soul cost for Ed was his arm.

[[WMG:When Hiromu Arakawa was planning the series in its initial stage, Roy was the main character.]]
His desire to change the world around him by becoming the ruler? I just realized how shonen-y that sounded, And that led to one of two possibilities:
One, He was meant to subvert the stereotype of a shonen protagonist questing for a way to change his world by having that character be both an adult, and a supporting character.
Two, He was the protagonist in the original concept. It would have started with a much younger Roy entering the military, and progressed with him going up the ranks in the same way that a typical shonen protagonist becomes stronger as the series goes on.
Bradley would've been a villain, but not a Homonculus. Or maybe he would've been?
Some of the older characters were meant to be younger, and operate in a FiveManBand:
TheHero: Roy
TheLancer: Hughes
TheBigGuy: Armstrong, of course.
TheSmartGuy: ...Riza, Maybe?
