PERSONALITY;[/b]
The first thing you notice about Lt. Colonel Roy Mustang is his eccentric behavior. Really, someone of his status wanting to become Fuhrer and make all female officers wear 'tiny miniskirts'? But you're wrong. The problem with him is that he has this sort of protective guard around him, and uses a mask so people will know him in the way he wants them to know him.
There are only a few who break through that guard. You could consider them lucky or unlucky.
Roy has an undeniable sense of determination. His dreams are not meant to just be dreams, after all. With the way he and his subordinates work together, you can tell that he is intent on making whatever he wants become a reality. The way he works his subordinates to make said dream come true shows his skills in leadership as well - and not to mention the above-average intelligence (really, look at his success rate, and you'll find out this is not a lie).
Roy learns from every experience, every encounter and every win and loss. He's not the kind of person to brood and live in the past, his eyes are always set in the things that are to come, in the future. No matter how hard to climb is the next wall ahead of him or how deep he's fallen, Roy always goes on. He's got the ability to influx strength and hope into the people around him. He's a visionary.
Roy is an extremely polite person. He treats people with the most respect, be them older or younger than him, whatever their sex or race, doesn't matter how much or little he knows them. However, he tends to be not very straightforward. At least not with the common use the word "straightforward" has. Roy likes to be careful with words, and uses the language as delicately as a poet would do. Most of the time, there's much more meaning to his words than those of any other person. It takes time and experience to know what Roy Mustang is really talking about.
Ironically, Roy is not more misunderstood by other characters, than he is by the this series' fandom, in my opinion. He's often regarded as a cold, smug, arrogant, manipulative man. Honestly speaking, I don't know what the hell they're reading.
In fact, one of Roy's main characteristics is that he is not manipulative (at least towards the people he considers his friends or allies). He always makes sure everyone knows what they're getting themselves into and that it's completely their decision. Of course there are times he hides some information from them, but it's never out of malice, but because he considers it best.
Roy is not cold. He may appear very serious or strict to outsiders, but he is candid and warm with the people he cares about and never doubts to offer a helping hand if the situation calls for it. He gets worried sick if someone he loves gets in danger (especially if it's because of him), and will go to whichever extent to protect them. Roy is not only passionate about his goal, but also about taking care of whoever may need it.
Roy is not an arrogant bastard (or smug bastard, pick any of them). So yes, he usually projects confidence wherever he goes, but that's because he knows the limit of his abilities. Also, because the job calls for it. He's a natural-born leader, and thus he can't be showing weaknesses so easily. Roy, in fact, has no problem in admitting he's not skilled enough to some duties, but takes pride in knowing he's an excellent alchemist who does a good job most of the time. He can value danger situations and act in accordance to them, whether it's retreating, attacking or something else.
Strengths: Roy has a strong sense of determination shown through his dream of becoming Fuhrer; and how he doesn't quite plan on giving up just yet. He also has a natural kind of
leadership: it is apparent that he has enough skills and level-headedness to be a leader. He is also unbiased - Roy does not at all have a tendency to look down on other depending on race/gender/the like. A part of him can also be compassionate - although not much people see through enough to get to this side of Roy, it is shown that he indeed cares for his comrades, and the Elric brothers - perhaps as a father figure. He can also be described as calm due to the fact that he can easily mask his true self in the midst of disaster, although his temper can break as well.
Flaws: Roy can be described as someone who rushes - I remember an episode where Hawkeye had to trip Roy because he had forgotten that it was raining and he was useless in it. So perhaps 'rushing' could be added. He also has the inane inability to do paperwork mostly because Roy's stack of paperwork is constantly growing. This is hinted (and I think stated) in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, episode four. Roy also has the tendency to underestimate - sometimes he goes head-on without fully analyzing an opponent, as shown in the first episode of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. A part of him also has a certain self-loathing - after a certain incident (spoiler issues), it is clearly shown that Roy still hates himself for having done such a thing. I do briefly recall an episode/chapter wherein he gets close to killing himself after said incident. He also can be selfless to the point of being flawed - sometimes he does not accept help, thinking that it would only trouble whoever asked whether he needed it or not.
WEAPONS;[/b]
His gloves / Gun / Anything, really
ALCHEMY;[/b]
Roy specializes in fire, to the point that he has created ignition gloves which allows him to create flames at the snap of his fingers. It has earned him the title Flame Alchemist, after all.[/size]
LIKE A SHOOTING STAR,ACROSS THE MIDNIGHT SKY;;
HISTORY;[/b]
Roy's personality and goals could be dated back to one thing - the Ishvalan Massacre in 1908; an incident he lived through at the age of twenty-three. Certainly, he had expected only this much from becoming a State Alchemist, but he hadn't known that it would be that hard. His trauma after the incident had been bad enough to make him consider committing suicide, and performing taboo alchemy; had it not been for Maes Hughes: the one who joined him in his quest of 'changing the world'.
The first time Roy had encountered either of the Elric brothers was when he first received a letter from them asking him whether he knew the whereabouts of their father, Hohenheim Elric (also known as Hohenheim of Light). He had seen the human transmutation in their home, and of course had his own little hypotheses about what happened. After searching for them, and realizing that they had the capacity of doing great alchemy like their father, he had told them to attempt to become State Alchemists.
He didn't know Edward would take it seriously, though, despite the look of fire he had seen in his eyes.
Once Edward Elric had been knighted the Fullmetal Alchemist, Roi has the opportunity for him to work under him. His promotion to Colonel did, after all, come because of him - as he had been the one to clean up after the mess he made in Youswell.
Maes Hughes' death had devastated him ("Brigadier General Hughes. I don't know which is more cracked up, your promotion or your death."), and he works to avenge his death rather than gain the position of Fuhrer. Having figured out that said Fuhrer was a homunculus while pursuing the Elrics in their stone creation in Lior, he knew he had to destroy him.
Somehow, in-between all of this, he'd married.
God knows how that happened - though Roy has no objections, and he loves his darling with all his heart. Even if he doesn't necessarily call her 'darling'.
LIKES;[/b]
Flames (it's what he's known for!), action - (the heat of the battle fuels passion), surprises (in other words, him doing the surprising), working (in a sense that he would work hard enough to become Fuhrer; paperwork not included) and control (knowing the limits and such of a certain thing appeals to him. He enjoys not being surprised)
DISLIKES:;[/b]
Ambush (not knowing what comes next bothers him), paperwork (self-explanatory), surprises (wherein he is the one being surprised), tangled situations (it's difficult to decipher them and to think of a good strategy) and lastly owing Edward Elric (really, a twenty-nine year old Colonel owing a fifteen year old alchemist something should be frowned upon).

STARDUST SHINING IN YOUR EYES;;

SAMPLE RP;[/b]
The sky was a bright blue, and the sun was dripping - and Roi Masutangu was stuck once more in his dreary little office. He sat at his desk, eyeing the telephone every so often; just in case anything would happen, and then switched his gaze to stare at the stack of papers on the other side.
"You have to do your paperwork, taisa," Riza had told him, and as much as the man hated to admit it, he really, truly did. A soft sigh left his lips as he picked the stack up and looked through the papers. The only thing to do now was to read through them and sign them and just get it over and done with. Unless, of course, an unwitting subordinate would walk in and he'd have the chance to ask them to sign it for him. He was sure that they were used to these actions, anyway. It was sad he didn't know that Havoc had been writing 'Colonel Roi "Sexypants" Masutangu', otherwise Hell would be unleashed.
"Colonel Roi Masutangu," Roi hummed to himself as he signed his name in that wonderful curved flourish. "Colonel Roi Masutangu. Colonel Roi Masutangu. Colonel Roi Masutangu."
Repeated over and over again, with each paper signed, each time his pen flew over the paper. He knew people didn't really like seeing blue ink on signatures, but it was the only pen he had at the moment.
"Colonel Roi freaking Masutangu.."
Signing paperwork was always so boring.
If only there was someone there to ease the pain.
