"25 this year."

G e n d e r

"As female as they come."

H e i g h t & W e i g h t

"Last I was measured, I weighed in at 110 lbs and stood at about 5'2. And a half. Ish."

A p p e a r a n c e

"Blonde hair and blue eyes I got from mom - uh, I mean, Major Yun. Pretty much all of my face I got from dad. My left arm I got from an accident when I was younger. Got it amputated and replaced with automail. My figure I got from hard work and training, though, yeah, didn't hurt that mom - I mean, Major Yun - helped in uh, certain places. Still, working out and acrobatics goes a long way on burning off all those sweets. That reminds me there was this muffin that's been waiting in the break room and... wait sorry can that last part be struck off the record? No?

... Anyway, what were we talking about? Oh, right, underwear. I mean, undercover wear.

Mm, well I've never been too big a fan of dresses and skirts. They look nice, but they're always too restrictive or too showy. I'd get a bit self-conscious if I had to climb a building and I flash all my bedroom wear to whoever I'm running with at the time. Why would I be climbing buildings if I'm undercover? I don't know, what if a bad guy was trying to get away and we had to do a daring high speed chase? That happens sometimes in AMSIF right? Right, besides the point, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard for you all to have an extra pair of slacks and button ups for me. Nothing too scratchy though, makes my arm act up."

"Kinda weird to describe yourself, but I guess you can call me a 'roll with the punches' type of gal. I try to not let anything get to me too much and, well, when you grow up hearing about things like the Promised Day and seeing legends like Fuhrer Mustang and the Elric brothers, it's hard not to imagine that anything is possible in this world, you know? I guess people can sometimes call me boring for that, but yeah, I mean, like I said, it doesn't get to me too much.

That doesn't mean I don't know when to knuckle down and do hard work though. Sometimes I get too focused kind of to the exclusion of everything else. It's a sort of trance I get into, like when I get a particularly interesting case and I'll spend hours or days poring over all the details before I realize that I haven't eat the entire day. I think my longest streak was three straight days of not eating before I got a bit peckish. Right, but, uh, sometimes I do have a habit of getting sidetracked when things don't particularly interest me.

I mean. I just get side tracked - when - things - uh... no. Yeah. I've got no defense here."

H I S T O R Y

"Not too much to tell outside of what you've probably already dug up. I mean, you already have one person who's literally watched me since before I was even born, haha. Uh, sorry, I mean, she's not going to have access to this file, right?

Right, too late to worry about that anyway. My dad is Shu Yun, a Xingese professor. My mom is Anne Marder Yun, an Amestrian alchemist - but uh, I guess you guys know that since she's part of AMSIF and all. Anyway, they met while mom - Major Yun - was over in Xing doing research. They got married, moved back here, and then they had me and my sister.

I didn't have a particularly exciting childhood growing up, except for when dad took us to see an acrobat show from Xing. I was enamored. I remember my parents always telling me how I could never stop talking about the show after I saw it and was always begging them to let me learn. So they did. They even let me learn Xingese martial arts while I was at it. They found me a teacher for both, but I got more into acrobatics and, not to brag, but I got really good at it. I was even about to enter the professional circuit until the accident.

It wasn't anybody's fault really. We were just preparing for a show, one of my biggest since I remember my teacher telling me how a lot of talent scouts would be coming, but we were in an old building, and during one of the stage rehearsals, the roof crumbled and I got trapped underneath. By the time they got me out, my arm was completely ruined. I could never really look at gelatin the same way after that. Uh, anyway, yeah, after that I got it amputated and replaced with automail thanks to some strings my parents pulled. I could never really get back into being a gymnast though.

After that, I was a bit lost and aimless. Studied architecture for a little while, but it didn't really suit me. Eventually I thought 'hell, why not military, Mom seems to be doing okay in there,' and so, yeah. I did. Applied to the Bradley Military Academy, got accepted, passed with full marks and honors, and then after that I thought 'hell, why not AMSIF, Mom seems to be doing okay in there,' and, well. Here I am."

F R I E N D S & F A M I L Y

Shu Yun

"He's my dad. He's a bit of a nerd. He specializes in the history between Xing and Amestris, and after meeting my mom they've got really deep into sort of the similar history Alchemy and Alkahestry has. He more focuses on the effects both forms of science has had on the cultural and societal side of things."

Anne Marder Yun

"She's my mom. She became really enamored with the Elrics when she was younger and got into studying Alchemy as a result. In particular, she's been building on Alphonse Elric's theories on the connections and similarities between Alchemy and Alkahestry and how the cultural histories of Amestris and Xing respectively shaped both forms of science."

Marilyn Yun

"She's my sister. She's become an Alchemist like mom. She's been kinda following in both our parents' footsteps, really, and has been dabbling in trying to combine the two sciences."

Roselyn Sollner

"She's... she's a really close, uh, friend, of mine."

Acrobat*

"You train in something for pretty much all your life since you were four, you're bound to get at least decent in it. Balance, agility, grace, it's all required. And being an acrobat isn't all about doing fancy flips and tricks, there's some serious athelticism involved. People always forget the grip strength you need to not slip on a bar or the muscles and stamina required to you know, do an entire routine that's essentially you using your entire body as one big free weight. I've gotten pretty into bouldering as a result."

Investigator

"As an acrobat, I got pretty used to spotting small details and reading body language. It was shored up a bit when I studied architecture for a little while. I got even better after going through the military academy."

Xingese Martial Artist

"Along with acrobatics, I've kept up with my martial arts. At first it was because I thought it was cool, after it was because I wanted to get closer to dad's culture, and now it's pretty neat being trained in a different combat style than most people are used to. Not to mention I got to learn how to use things like staves, kunais, wakizashis, and daos, though I've been mainly focusing on hand to hand. Mo- Major Yun - says it still doesn't beat a gun though. I can't exactly argue with that."

E Q U I P M E N T

Automail Arm

"It's your basic steel automail."

Combat Knife

"A knife is always handy to have around."

Wakizashi

"For when I need a bigger knife."

Pistol

"Not my preferred weapon, but I'd rather not take my chances on actually using knives in a gun fight. I'm no King Bradley."

Journals and Pens

"Useful for writing things down and remembering stuff."

Chalk

"When you're working with Alchemists, I've found it's always useful to carry some around."

Olivia Armstrong
The Headstrong Alchemist

Personal Information
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Height & Weight: 5 ' 7 " 92 lbs.
Appearance:

---

Background
Personality Dossier: Olivia is of course, from a very prestigous family. Few don't know of the Armstrong family line, and those who don't surely know of Major Alex Louise Armstrong, her father, at the very least due to his efforts in the past. Fewer people know of his daughter however, and fewer still would believe it's actually her when they meet her. Considering she comes from a line of Masculine, physically powerful muscle-heads people don't expect a smaller, more lithe girl to be the youngest member of such a family. But, Olivia is ultimately what they get, and that often annoys her that people find it so strange that she's not some hulking monstrosity.

People even often misunderstand who she is, believing her to be her aunt until they meet her, and she has to correct them that her aunt is Olivier, not Olivia. A very similar, but ultimately different name. This is all to say she has trouble being compared to her family. She wants to be her own person, and be known for what she has done, and for who she is. Not for being just a member of a big family whose legacy was passed down the Armstrong line FOR GENERATIONS. Beyond this, she tends to be very quiet, reserved, and if you know the type of person who always seems to scoff, and push up their glasses before responding to you... then you probably know Olivia. One of the worse things about her to most people, is how much she respects King Bradley, and often seems to be living in a past she never lived. Like she believes she's still in the old Amestris, before the Promised Day.

Personal History: Olivia hasn't thus far had a very impressive life. She spent most of her time growing up being told stories by her Father and Grandfather. She was always told of the grand legacy of the Armstrong line, and it was always suggested to her, or often even explained to her, that she would carry on this legacy, not as Olivia, but as an Armstrong. It was never something she particularly liked, and it was for this reason she became very close to her aunt, Olivier. Her aunt understood better what it was like to not be an Armstrong, but to be your own person. Having demanded undying loyalty and respect of her soldiers, she was the kind of leader who was known for her own deeds. This drove her to become more cold and calculated, unforgiving, and this is the reason she looks down on others often. It was due to her father and aunt's service that she became an Alchemist in the first place.

Notable Family: Alex Louise Armstrong, Father. Philip Gargantos Armstrong, Grandfather. Olivier Mira Armstrong, Aunt.

Abilities Analysis
Skills:

Booksmarts - She has an absurd knowledge of all things Alchemical. She could potentially tell you the exact makeup of each individual bone in your body based on your height and weight. If she can't, then the book she carries with her probably can. Not that she'd be interested in that sort of thing. All this knowledge came from her studies to actually become an Alchemist, when she took things far more seriously than most seem to and ended up writing her own book filled with all kinds of Alchemical facts. By the time she was a full Alchemist, she had finished a book which was an amalgamation of every other Alchemy related book, or paper in general, that she could get her hands on.

Analysis - As she grew up trying to be the exact opposite of her father, she became clever, and calculated. She would rather spend a lifetime in the midst of battle analyzing a single problem to find a solution, than run around recklessly throwing punches and breaking things. This means that she's very good in situations that require her to work quickly while her life is immediately in danger, and think clearly about what the solution to a problem is, such as finding a way out of a corner, or opening a locked door.

Armstrong Arts - When all else fails, and she is forced to, she will fall back on what her family taught her. She will bring out the fury of the Armstrong Line, as it was passed down to her after Generations. She's good with a sword, trained by her aunt, as well as fist to fist combat, taught by her father.

Equipment:

Book of Alchemy - Olivia knows that everyone forgets things, even her. For this reason she carries an Alchemical book that is filled with just about all the information one could need to know. It's basically a dictionary for Alchemists, holding within its pages information such as how to figure out the exact makeup of concrete based on its appearance, to the exact Alchemical ritual to do Human Transmutation. Forbidden as an act or not, she carries the knowledge of how to do so with her.

General's Sword - While certainly not a General, and far from it, Olivia carries her Aunt's sword, given to her on her 18th Birthday as a gift. She was trained with a sword just like it, and thus she's very skilled with it. Its only special properties are that it's a very recognizable sword really.

Pre-Drawn Alchemy Circle Imprints - Always planning ahead, Olivia carries with her a folder of papers on which Alchemy Circles have been imprinted. She can use these to press them against a flat surface, and the Circle will be transferred. This of course, only works on solid, dry surfaces. It's useless in the rain for example, like a certain someone.

Clipboard - She's always got a Clipboard with her, and yes, it has many... many unwritten tickets on it. Just for you!

---

Misc.
Extra Details: She takes her job way too seriously, to the point that she seems to think she's even some sort of police officer, and will try to act as such in public doing jobs that are typically far below her position, such as writing tickets. She literally can't help it, it's an instinct that just kicks in and she just, starts doing it.

_{^{B a c k g r o u n d}}

Personality Dossier: Wearing grim, depressive, and tired eyes with an attitude that implies she is simply going through the motions, Genevieve might as well be sleep walking through most of her day-to-day activities. However, she is fully aware of her surroundings and day-to-day happenings. Her sarcasm has little to no end and neither does her indiscreet perfunctory attitude.

Personal History: The daughter of two scholarly and eccentric individuals Drs. Adele & Hopko Harper who were not just very well learned professionals through prestigious studies at the same prominent Central City University (where they both took up an occupation as Professors) but were also well-read and well-established as members of the the National Central Library in Central City Council. The two were brilliant in precision and accuracy as they sacrificed much of their time learning and studying Alchemy. They were well-known for their lectures on Time & Alchemy and The Never Ending Equivalent Exchange. To the Harpers, the equations for Equivalent Exchange was everywhere in the world, and the two doctors had a pension for picking apart every fiber of this science. In fact, the two were so dedicated to the molecular works of their studies that they were much later in age when they realized there was any chemistry between each other (and thus went on to get married); and of course, it was not until even later that they thought to have a child, who ended up being the subject of their own (unethical) experimentation.

This experiment was labeled Timing of Thoughts, in which the the brain chemistry would be exchanged. The initial idea was said to be an effort to heal mental illness, but the truth behind the matter had more to do with Time Travelling. However, their experiment was proven to serve no such outcome nor was it considered a failure. (The two doctors believed no experiment was ever truly a failure as that broke their philosophical beliefs of Equivalent Exchange.) Instead, they learned that sacrificing actions could beat transmissions or frequencies of the brain waves to tamper with the chemical reactions (neurotransmitters) and how they communicate with each other. Their major study began revolving around prima materia, the pineal gland, and circadian rhythm, redirected through alternating (disturbing) sleep cycles.

The conclusion of the experiment was never seen by Doctor Adele, as she passed away suddenly in the middle of the night due to what was thought to be old age. Doctor Hopko was able to see Genevieve contort or confuse reality for a number of targets at certain distances. While Doctor Hoko saw this was a giant leap in Alchemy & Nekyia, which Doctor Adele and he both agreed could be keys to not just Time Travel but opening the Gate of Truth as well. Meanwhile, Genevieve saw it merely as playing the childish game Telephone, where she slowly lost connection with everyone around her. It made her father happy, and she promised to herself after her mother's death that she would always strive to do whatever it took to keep him happy, even if it meant sacrificing her own happiness.

As time progressed and his own madness began to be revealed to him, Doctor Hopko saw that there was little use for Genevieve's state of mind. In a desperate attempt to conceal his unethical approach to parenting, he urged Genevieve to enlist with the Amestris Military Special Investigations Force, where she resides today, sleep deprived and coffee fueled.

Notable Family:

Doctor Adele Harper - (Deceased) Brilliant and well-known professors at the Central City University. Alongside her husband, Doctor Hopko Harper, she specialized in Time & Alchemy and The Never Ending Equivalent Exchange. She was later recognized for helping build a study for Alchemy & Nekyia.

Saturnine - Bending the light of the subconscious of select amount of targets in minimal distance. At worst it can cause delays in reaction, and at best, it can cause varying degrees of temporary neurosis due to severe confusion of reality through visual distortions. Targets can hurt themselves in confusion.

6th Sense - Due to being more academic than athletic, Genevieve was unable to truly master Xingese as a martial art. However, what she did develop was some sort of 6th Sense, which came much more naturally to her than physical combat. She has heightened sight and hearing that help her overcome day-to-day melancholy.

Academia - Like her parents, Genevieve is well versed in the literary world and well acquainted with the Central City Library. She is knowledgeable in various subjects, mostly including Alchemy, Psychology, and Sleep.

Equipment:

Chalk - For Alchemy circles.

Coffee - For staying awake, as she sacrifices her own sleep cycle to induce it on others.

Flintlock Pistol - A general term for any firearm that uses a flint striking ignition mechanism. This particular pistol is a family heirloom.

Folding Knife - A foldable knife with one or more blades that fit inside the handle that can still fit in a pocket.

Gloves - For performing Alchemy.

Pocket Watch - A gift upon joining the AMSIF.
