>Alright. HARDMODE IS GO!

You adjust your tinted glasses. You were not born into this life with an easy hand to become an Alchemist. As an Ishvalan, your entire religion forbade you from participating in the science of Alchemy, from studying this. However, even the slaughter of your people at the hands of the Amestrian military was not enough to deter you from your path.

You were born to loving parents, as well as two brothers and three sisters. You lost your youngest sister when you were little, and your older brother to the Ishvalan War of Extermination. Your remaining family, upon discovering your interest in Alchemy, promptly disowned you.

The last memory you have of them is packing the suitcase you now have, containing what's left of your study notes that you could salvage from the fire your father set, and leaving to the screaming of your family of your eternal damnation.

Yet you know you're on the right path. Even though you have only 600 Cenz to your name. Not exactly a lot of money-- barely anything, in fact.

Still. You look around, adjusting the glasses obscuring your red eyes. You think back to the words of your mentor...

You were given tutelage in the arts of Alchemy by a Captain Abraham Silversword, an Amestrian State Alchemist sent to assist in what had become known as "Mustang's Men." Though his transmutation studies were difficult for you to grasp, you eventually came to proficiency with the principles of Alchemy. In particular, you have a knack for the elements of...

>>25756213

But we'd still need to make it or at least carry some of the elements around. It'd also be very hard practice and only a few alchemists even specialize in air.

Further if we're being smart about this, Air has NO defense. We will have NO defense when we face a goddamn Xing ninja or someone like armstrong.

BE the armstrong. I say we go Brown-girl armstrong.

You are currently torn between Air and Water. Hydrogen's usages are myriad, but likewise, the sheer number of air-based solutions is invaluable. The only caution to contemplate for Air Transmutation is that such substances can also affect you as well, unless you take suitable precautions.

Water and Metal Alchemy each have their own much more specific areas of usage, as well as an abundance of defensive and offensive applications, though the aspiring Water Alchemist should beware that, much as the Flame Alchemist is useless in water, so would the Water Alchemist end up in a great deal of trouble near heat.

>>25756259
That would fall under Ritual Alchemy, which is as complex as it is myriad. It is known for Alchemists of particularly grand dreams to attempt to incorporate smaller transmutation circles to create larger ones, but such a process is mind-numbingly complex for its variables and potential causes of failure.

>>25756260
Brown girl General Armstrong? Metal focus and fight with armor and a big fuck-off sword?

>>25756188
Voting for this, with a minor in air elements.

>>25756259

Transmutation symbols need accuracy for the intended purposes.
We'd neeed high skill in precision to even do that, and even then, what's the point?

As for the metal armor idea, we could also do something with quicksilver being specialized in metal, and I think the palm tattoos for blood boiling could even be almost equivalent to ,icrowaves with the blood boiling.

>>25756285
>>25756287

>>25756280

>>25756280

>>25756260
>Air has NO defense
What the shit are you talking about nigger? The defense is all around you. Get a gas mask on and create lots of poisonous gases and nobody would be able to get near you.
Also explosive fog could work very well as a defense mechanism.

>>25756279
We need a Transumatation circle to freeze things since we haven't seen the ''Truth'' yet so something on that scale is more likly than not impossible.

Tell that to a xing ninja alkhahestry that remote transmutes your ass. Or an armstrong-like character that just shoots a goddamn cannonball rock at you. Poisoning everyone around you isn't a flawless defense.

Freezing the air would be pretty difficult to do and even then it wouldn't be strong as the ambient temperature does away with it.. + if we face an armstrong or lightning pawnch like I have envisioned it'd kill air-guy in one shot.

I don't care what element we specialize in, so long as we eventually start producing antimatter.

>>25756299
Assuming, of course, you could craft that transmutation circle correctly and account for all the factors in half the world, it is theoretically possible. However, it is as theoretically possible as being able to transmute a human being back to life.

>>25756291
>>25756287
>This sounds a good compromise.

You focused in the art of Metal Transmutation, which seemed especially natural to you. The craft of manipulating the bonds that held iron atoms together, of transmuting silver and steel and working it with the heart and soul of a master blacksmith.

You have a lesser understanding of Air Transmutation, but it is still stronger than your grasp of Earth and Water, elements that cause you some difficulty for their rigidity and absolute fluidity respectively.

The train rumbles as you sit in your seat, briefcase in hand. You look around once more. An Amestrian soldier stares at you pointedly with his blue eyes. You adjust your glasses again.

You finally reflect on your motive for coming here. The death of your mentor, at the hands of a Xingese agent that had been attempting to poison the village's water supply. Though he was successful in neutralizing the toxin in the water, with his back turned, you were only able to watch as the masked killer drove a razor-sharp blade through the chest of your mentor.

You look down at his watch, your sole momento, and tuck it away in your pocket once more. You know the right thing is to return the watch to the authorities in Amestris, but would you really want to give up the last thing you have of your mentor?

A little buzz wakes you from your revere. The train will be arriving soon. You have much to learn, and this city is but the first step on that path.

The Amestrian staring at you begins to walk towards you as another squad walks by. This train seems unusually fortified, and you catch a snippet of conversation as you walk closer.

>>25756422
>what the hell do you think our chances are of actually encountering alkhahestry in Amestris
Since the OP post mentions increasing political tensions with Xing, and even bomb-sniffing dogs being used in Central because of the problems with Xing?
It's a very likely possibility.

>>25756444

The primary component would be the air itself though.

The ability to generate dust clouds, tornadoes, etc would also be beneficial.

>>25756453
"That Xingese ambassador freaks me right the hell out." One of the Amestrians on patrol remarks, "It's bad enough their people are trying to start a war. Now we're giving them an entire train car, carrying their nobles around like they're our kings?"
"Doesn't sit right with me." One of the men remarks affirmatively. "Don't see why we're agreeing to talk with them anyways. They caused enough troubles in the past for us."
"Wouldn't surprise me if the rumors about a Xingese prince being behind Fuhrer Bradley's death were true."

The Amestrian soldier speaks up. "I need to see your boarding pass." He tells you plainly, staring down at you.

You reach into your coat, producing the passport containing all of your information. Including your name.

We likely will if we're male. it's predetermined /tg/ antics.
A woman with a lightning punch though...

So, OP locked in iron with a minor in air.

Will we be doing lightning punch, or microwave grip?
My thought on armor bits at that is that they're concealable and made of different materials. Like, under the clothes type of thing. We use automail without using automail, essentially.
Lightning punch is also accomplished by capitalizing on Copper's conductive nature and multiplying the static friction in the air to achieve lightning.

Alright, I was a juliette guy, but I suppose I can deal with Naji.

But my one condition is that we shirked initiation as a warrior monk, but still trained a good deal in Ishvalan martial arts and meditation, giving us mental fortitude to withstand pain and above average hand to hand prowess.

>>25756932

If I was /d/ I would've said it.

What other awesome ways can we use metal+ air alchemy? I saw we focus on that. But we're going to need a go-to strategy. And I'm kind of at a loss for what other symbols we'll have for the armor bits.
We should probably figure out a backup plan that makes use of magnesium or something.
But lightning punch would definitely be our best go-to and a simple but complicated alchemy when it comes to how precise we are.
Oh, if we become an actual state alchemist, we could be called "Hammer/Thunder of God." for our alchemy.

Oh, maybe our armor bits are high-carbon steel and we can pseudo ultimate shield like greed? Then again, that's earth related by Op's specialization, and another more practiced alchemy.. maybe we could learn it later?

"Miss Ambrose?" He remarks, looking back down at you. You simply stare at him, as you have stared at many others. Ishvalan women are raised strong, and you are no exception to that fact.

>>25756840
>>25756826
>>25756806
You simply focus on your training provided not only by your mentor, but also as the daughter of an Ishvalan monk. You ignore his anger, refusing to allow it to incite you.

"Yes, that is my name." You reply simply, your ponytail moving only slightly as you shift your head to look at him over your glasses.

"An Ishvalan. Figures." He huffs, throwing your passport back into your lap. "Bad enough that we get Xingese in this city. Now you Ishvalans are back to mudding everything up." He grumbles, turning away from you as he resumes his patrol.

You simply resume staring ahead, dead ahad, as you sit in your chair. The train continues chugging along, beginning to slow on its path.

Which is right about when you're tossed head-first from your seat, sent flying into the ceiling as the other passengers scream. The entire train lets out an unholy crashing noise as something makes the train go from steady to twirling through the air.

Screams fill the air as the soldier walking the hallway is tossed into the ceiling, luggage flying in every direction and flying open in the process. A maelstrom of debris.

>5d10 works, with the best 3 being averaged. System still slightly in playtest.

Your hands shoot forward as you touch the ceiling of the rolling train car, twisting your arm slightly as a piece of open luggage cracks you square in the stomach. You're slightly winded, but you keep rolling, as the rest of the train car does. The windows shatter, broken glass scything into a piece of luggage. The piece of luggage that's actually shielding your stomach now, in fact.

As quickly as it happened, the rollover stops, with the train car (thankfully) upright once more, though the driving snow and wind are creeping in through the windows. The other passengers in here are either wounded or, in the case of the Amestrian soldier from a few moments ago, dead. In his case, dead with a severe case of broken neck syndrome from when his head hit the edge of a seat.

The lights flicker as you hear the sounds of another explosion further down the train, towards the caboose, followed by gunfire. At least Amestris isn't a boring place to live!

You decide, barely, to grab yourself something to fight with, but you decide not to grab the man's bulky rifle. Not only will it arouse suspicion that you might be one of the attackers, but it might get in the way of you attempting your (laughable) Alchemy. You search the man's remains as the other passengers are moan or sprawl about.

In addition to a combat knife, the man has a wallet with six thousand Cenz in it, as well as pair of stick grenades. Though you're no weapons expert, their functionality seems fairly straightforward to even you. He also has a pistol on him with an eight round magazine, as well as a single spare magazine.

>>25757132
If you wish, you could attempt to transmute a section of the train wall into a shield as a simple transmutation, or a full suit as an Advanced transmutation. The latter of which will, obviously, have a much greater risk of failure in the heat of the moment such as this.

You tap the circle, the section of wall briefly lighting up before the wall thins out, the iron warping into a circular shield, the dagger held in your other hand. The metal handles for the iron shield protrude out, and you quickly slip your free arm into it, the other hand occupied with the knife. There's not a hole in the wall, thanks to your careful work, but that section of the train wall will be unusually weak.

Now armed, you begin to travel down to investigate the fighting, knife in one hand and shield in the other. You reach the train door, going into the next car to find it in a similar state of disarray, but as you peer at the window, you see that it's not unoccupied.

A trio of men in plain clothes can be seen at the rear of the compartment, their winter parkas drawn over their faces. Armed with pistols, they're moving down the train, holding them forward. Sloppy grips.

You see an Amestrian soldier out of the corner of your eye, slumped behind one of the seats, injured but still conscious, his rifle on the opposite side of the aisle.

Ishval generally rejects the use of alchemy as it is seen as hubris to god, however if you bend it a bit, especially with looking at alkahestry, the fact that they have the ability to change the world is a blessing from the goddess.
We're a heretic not in that we reject Ishval, but that we have a different interpretation that the majority do not agree with.

I still vote for charging in. The vacuum idea sounds like it'll take too long, abnd if the guys see us dicking around, chalking up they're going to shoot us. In close quarters, a knife and martial training holds advantage to a gun.

And then watch as the rifle is promptly picked aloft in a thunderclap of air, flying towards the injured Amestrian soldier in the room, cracking into him with a sound not unlike a baseball bat hitting someone, crashing into the man's stomach.
