I had hints of childhood in the first chapter of this fic. Which, OH GOD, I still haven't finished. It's only 5 short SHORT chapters and I've still only done two.
EDIT: Oh, and I had him as a bookworm. The kind of person who'd read in a grocery store line, if you know what I mean. I really like the idea that all the alchemists, good and bad, are uncurable bookworms. They're all scholars and you have to love books to be a scholar. To get all the way to state alchemist you have to have that kind of obsessive personality, too.
