Full Metal Alchemist is set in the country Amestris, in a world much resembling early industrialized Europe. It is a place where advanced technology intermingles with a pseudoscience of transmutation know as alchemy. Although powerful, alchemy is not akin to magic since it cannot create something from nothing.Alchemy is governed by the rule of equivalent exchange; in order to create something new you must offer something of equal value in return.

Brothers Edward (Ed) and Alphonse (Al) Elric are the young sons to a great alchemist who served with the military. But he left Edward and Alphonse with their mother when they were very young. The brothers took after their father’s talent and took an innate interest in alchemy. When their mother, Trisha Elric, died from an illness, the Elric brothers made the rash decision of bringing their mother back using human transmutation - a serious alchemy taboo. Their attempt ended in a tragic failure which cost Alphonse’s entire body as well as Edward’s left leg - the price of eqivalent trade. In a last ditch effort to save his brother, Edward used his right arm as a sacrifice to seal Alphonse’s soul within a suit of armor.
