He stands at 5’ 3” tall and he has long red hair. His stature combined with his youthful appearance often gets him mistaken for one of the many students on any campus of learning. He dresses in the almost typical country western garb, preferring the long sleeved button down shirts, black cowboy boots, and loose jeans with a Velcro seam down the outside left leg and riding gloves with the one on his right hand almost never coming off all due to his automail prosthetics. The one thing that he almost always wears is a long gray duster that has so many inner pockets that people think that it is made from nothing but pockets and he often uses them completely to store odd things by most peoples standards. Things like samples of raw materials like iron, silicon, etc. As a result of this he sometimes clanks a little when he moves but this does not appear to slow him down at all. He also sometimes wears a black cowboy hat that has the coat of arms for the city of Oxford, England on it with the motto “Fortis est veritas” “Truth is strength”.
Personality: He can be cantankerous and abrasive, but when he gets excited about a new idea or he finds something interesting, he gets child like and can forget what he was doing and go off in a tangent direction, except when he is focused on performing his alchemy; he does fully understand the nature of things. This most likely happens when he is lecturing, much to the delight or dismay of his students. (It’s all a matter of perspective.)
Unusual Abilities: He can perform alchemy with just his body as the transmutation circle. This gives him an advantage when it comes to combat alchemy because it makes the world around him an endless supply of weapons at a moments notice depending on the resources of the location.
History: He is an Alchemist of great renown born in a small town located in west Texas. He is a child prodigy that graduated from the University of Oxford in England on full scholarship at the age of 13 with his PhD and multiple Doctorates in Alchemical Sciences. He has a habit of studying related subjects like engineering, geology, chemistry, etc. most of the time to improve his Alchemy research and skills. When he was seven years old he was involved in an accident that cost him his family as well as his right arm and left leg. The family of his childhood sweetheart took him in and provided him with automail prosthetics, automail is their family business. His sweetheart learned her family trade and insisted on taking care of his upgrades, maintenance, and replacement of his prosthetics when needed. His wife is as fiery as he is cantankerous often resulting in her walloping him with any of her tools, when she feels he deserves it and to remind him of just who she is.
Crush: He is married to his childhood sweetheart Deborah Louise DeLauter-Elric, DD or Dee for short.
Other: He is dedicated to his science and art so much that he was able to move his home to a location that contains the most abundant and unusual natural resources. The location also provides him with the privacy he likes when he does his research. Because of the nature of what he does he only has two classes a week. The first class is at the beginning of the week and is for his lectures, usually lasting about an hour leaving the students to study the material he just covered for the last half of class. The second class is near the end of the week and it is devoted to practical application and lab time. Because of his background and how well known he is in Alchemy, sometimes the other staff members will refer to him as “the Duke“. He came to Midnight Academy as the new Science Department Head and Alchemy Professor the previous year. He is with out a doubt an expert in his field of study.
