Alexis Louis Armstrong

Alex Louis Armstrong (Arekkusu Rui A-musutorongu), the "Strong Arm Alchemist" (Go-wan no Renkinjutsushi), is a large and comically emotional State Alchemist who will burst into tears or joyous praise, given the right situation, and embraces others in an effort to console them.

Because he is an extremely strong character, this usually causes great personal injury to others.

Armstrong is very proud of his strength and of his muscular physique, frequently taking off his shirt so that he can flex for the benefit of others.

As a final element of his comedic properties, he has the tendency to "sparkle"; when first appearing in a scene or taking off his shirt, pink stars radiate from his body.

Despite his humorous tendencies, Armstrong can be very serious when the situation calls for it.

He is not fond of violence and will try to end conflicts peacefully, and will break down and cry if an innocent person is killed.

Armstrong comes from a wealthy family of aristocrats who have earned renown in most professions.

He has mastered many of his family's talents for himself, and when displaying such a talent, he brags and remarks it to have been "passed down the Armstrong line for generations."

His alchemical skills also represent a remnant of his family's history; by using a unique kind of cestus, Armstrong can reshape any solid object that he punches.

Armstrong is a valuable ally of Roy Mustang and the Elric brothers, even if they are not always happy to be in his emotional company.

He takes his honor as a soldier and as a leader seriously, and always looks out for his peers' and subordinates' best interests.

Kenji Utsumi voices him in the Japanese series, and Christopher Sabat in the English adaptation.
