Separated at the young age of 6, his sister Ella was taken by a cult who had disguised themselves as State Alchemists. They said it was protocol, that she had potential, but they never said for what. For years he lived with his mother, wishing more than anything his beloved sister would return to him. News soon reached the family that she was dead, killed in a severe accident along with many others. This drove Eric mad. It was like a piece of him died. By the age 13, he had trained in the arts of alchemy for years, and attempted Human Transmutation to try and bring her back. But of course, it failed. For the price of seeing the Truth, parts of his flesh had vanished, leaving only the exposed muscle tissue, a wound that never heals. Struck with grief and shame, he covered the flesh taken away from him with bandages, and left home, never to return. Now, Eric finds himself working as a State Alchemist, one who is often sent to investigate ruins of old and collect knowledge of alchemy that is not well known. Bearing the well known title of The Lightning Alchemist, not many know of his past and why he can use his own alchemy without the need of a transmutation circle. Personality: Eric is quite arrogant and doesn't work well with others. He takes his inner pain and takes it out on others so naturally he has a hard time making friends. When it comes to talking about himself, Eric tends to fall silent and gets quite defensive when asked about the bloody bandages he wears.[/hider]
