FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST: FATE’S GATE
“Humans who dare to play God must pay a steep price for their arrogance.” -Father
Premise:
Years have passed since the Elric Brothers triumphed over the menace known as Father, and stopped his dark plans. Since that time, the land of Amestris has seen a great age of peace, the treaty with Ishval holding strong. Xing Alkahestry has been popularized and advanced since its resurgence. Alchemy, having been both the savior of, and near destructor of humanity has left many divided on the art. Some revere the practice to near-religious levels, while others demonize and discriminate against the users. Yet, despite this division, Alchemy became quite commonplace throughout the land. There was such a huge influx of Alchemy users that special task forces were created to police usage of Alchemy, so as to prevent Human Transmutation. Yet, when the world seemed most at peace was when He appeared. A being that looked different to each person that observed Him. The man known only as Fate. He is the guiding force behind all Alchemy, and came to the realm to declare that humanity had tipped the balance of the universe. Fate proclaimed he had come to “purge the excess” from that scale, and restore balance. To that end, Fate turned Table City, once-proud hub of Amestris into a Philosopher’s Stone, and breaking it to pieces. Fate then branded all surviving Alchemists everywhere with a mark on their body. This mark not only shows that the person practices Alchemy, but also acts as a magnet. If too many people with the brand gather in one area, they will be turned into a Philosopher’s Stone and killed. People wandered for ages, scared and scattered to the winds, only to hear one day that a city in Ishval had been swallowed up into the earth. A city without Alchemy. That is when Fate made his second ultimatum. Humanity had used Alchemy too much, and by law of Equivalent Exchange, their world was now what would be taken away from them, bit by bit. That is, unless the Alchemists are killed, and balance is restored. Now, the people must choose whether to fight each other, or to defy Fate himself.
So, does this sound cool to anyone?
