Introduction
Roy Mustang shuffles through the school entrance, carrying a satchel of books and a sleepy expression. His bangs hang somewhat over his eyes because he's too lazy to style his hair back properly. He'd also like to think that it makes him a little dashing... but mostly it's just lazyness. Effort is saved for learning, not keeping up appearences.
Roy keeps looking down at a small piece of crumpled paper in his hand, then looking around. His clothes are clean but just slightly rumpled, and traces of white chalk still cling to his fingertips. He notices this as he glances down, and wipes his fingers on his trousers with a grimace. It just makes an even worse smear. He sighs.
"Well, this is the right address... Just got to find where to register for the local science club." He looks down at the note again, muttering. "And a chess club, and a chemistry club, and a meteorology/geology club if they have one of those too..."
He starts to tick items off on his fingers, muttering to himself. "And I need lab partners for geology, and physics..."
((OOC: for the purpose of this RP, Roy is pre-canon for FMA, from approximately the year 1900. So he doesn't know Edward Elric yet, or the Rockbell family, or anything. But if someone RPs Hughes, Gracia, or Hawkeye he might know them. I wrote a more detailed explanation of his pre-canonness (age, education, etc) at the info page here.
Also, I'd like to ask where in canon the other FMA players are from so that I can interact with you guys accordingly.))

So far I've settled on total geek who's lazy, procrastinates, is obsessed with alchemy/science, likes alcohol, is into the idea of girls but isn't a lady's man yet at all, and generally has no angst. He being enrolled in a political science class, however, because my mental RP Roy is politically conscious about his world and ambitious about becoming a State Alchemist, even though he hasn't gone through the life-shaping angst and pain of war yet. Of course, he wants everyone to assume he's just a lazy, explosive-happy geek, and probably won't be open about his political mindedness.
So far as I've been playing him, it's ended up with him being different things around different people. A bit of a snob to his roommate, geek and buddy to his lab partners, a prankster in lab class (though that stupid short kid with the braid and the red coat started it!), and vaguely secretive new member of Junior Achievers Club. Smarm he's got some of, but he's not an accomplished brown-noser yet.))
