Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I was given the name... Alexander Aleksei Bishop
If I look in the mirror, I would see... A familiar stranger
If you like, you can call me... Second Lieutenant Bishop, Alex
I was born so many years ago... Twenty-one years
My birth-certificate describes me as... Male
I am considered a... Human
In this world, my place is... Second Lieutenant of the Amestrian State Military
That place has given me the title of... The Arcanum Alchemist
Some might say I'm unique... because I lost my right leg early on in my military career, thus causing the military to have to replace it with automail so that I may be able to continue my service. I also have tattooed onto my back the Grand Arcanum, as well as two unique Transmutation Circles
When asked, others might describe me as... truly devoted to my work. I am like Edward Elric in the aspect that I do what I can to protect those who cannot protect themselves. I obey orders given to me without question, unless they go against the morals I have set down as the law that I live by.
If you're my friend, you might possess these traits... Loyalty, Determination, A Strange Obsession for Strawberry Sundaes
If you're my enemy, you may possess these instead... Insubordination, Liars, Arrogance, Ignorance
I'm known for these abilities... I am able to use each individual transmutation circle engraved on my hands for various forms of alchemy, including typical alchemy like creation and simple destruction. The alchemic circle on his left hand symbolizes creation, in which he is able to abide by the Law of Equivalent Exchange to create various things, ranging from anything like making an object to hold or a wall. The circle on his right hand symbolizes destruction, in which his alchemic power is similar to Solf J. Kimblee or even Scar, where he is able to break down matter, whether it be exactly where he touches or at a distant object away from him. However, by using his right hand to attack a distant target, it damages everything from him in a straight path to his target. He tries to minimize the damage to the target unless he deems total destruction necessary. By clapping his hands together and using both his Creation and Destruction Transmutation Circles, he is able to cause an imbalance of energy, which can cause his destruction level to escalate from breaking down an object to causing it to explode. Such alchemic power can also be used to cause an object he chooses to create to also become unstable. Unfortunately, he has yet to discover a way to launch his strike airbourne, like Kimblee and Mustang do with their alchemy. On the other hand, I am very good with a gun and hand to hand combat.
I carry with me on my travels... my State Alchemist Pocket Watch, my Colt .45
This is the reason I fight... To rise to the top and protect those who are important to me.
So you want to know my whole story?... I grew up learning Alchemy from my mother. My father died in the war with Ishval, so needless to say, I was a bit of a Mama's boy growing up. I joined the ranks of the State Alchemists when I was only seventeen, and then the military on my eighteenth birthday. I've risen through the ranks rather rapidly, doing everything I can to try and climb higher and higher. I had idolized Roy Mustang for the longest of times, looking at his strength to give me reason to climb higher and higher until, one day, I would eventually become the Furher. I was a part of the group of Alchemists to fight against Father, and since his death, I have simply continued my part as an Alchemist and dog of the military. Although, I have done my fair share of investigating the Living Corpses that have plagued Amestris.
This puppet's master is... Temporarily Schizophrenic
