Ernest Aludel

Name: Ernest Q. Aludel

Age: Depends on which time frame we’re focusing on (Less than a year in the canon timeline for Fullmetal Alchemist or closing in on seventy three years in ‘modern’ time of 1990s)

Pronouns: He/Him

Race: Horrible Clay Construct Lion (a hybrid of alchemy and eldritch abomination blood)

Clay Color: Blood Red and Oxidized Blood Red (Used to be white before getting a taste for asshole Alchemists)

Eye Color: Literal gold orbs (Freddy got a couple of mini gold orbs on discount when shopping for supplies.)

Height: About ten inches in height.

Weight: About as heavy as a box of cereal.

Ability: Destruction- Ernest represents the destructive capabilities of Dolly’s powers. Ernest can dissolve organic matter by increasing the base corrosiveness of the clay that he is made up of. Ernest can also generate a horrifying plasma blast by accelerating the crystals inside of him into producing electrical energy for the blast to happen. If it’s bad enough, Ernest can sprout crystalline growth on his back like wings, turn his mane into a crystalline form as well as his tail tip to direct electricity into his body via lightning storms. Ernest, like Dorian and Fairfax, if given enough materials to devour to make up for mass, if Dolly is knocked unconscious, they can basically take small parts from their clay bodies to knead into Dolly’s body as a jumpstart to reawakening her. Because Ernest, Dorian, and Fairfax share the same blood from Dolly, they are all able to communicate with one another telepathically.

Likes: Donuts, fashion dolls, toxic plants, the agonized cries of corrupt figures, the process of decomposition (it’s like a calming experience for Ernest to watch), glitter, cheese chips, whiskey, and stews.

Dislikes: Freddy, the fact donuts are not a naturally occurring plant life, getting called ‘ugly’, being confused for a dog, the curse of forever having vinegar breath, and not being nearly as glamorous as Fairfax.

Personality: Ernest is in short a manipulative jackass with a heart of gold. Ernest is pretty witty with the insults and comebacks unlike Dorian (Ernest does give Dorian some help with comebacks when given the chance). While yes, Ernest can be smart when he wants to be, it can also be said that Ernest can be kinda dumb such as still believing that donuts are a fruit one can get in the wild. Manipulation is very much like a sport to Ernest, he greatly enjoys seeing just how far some manipulation can go into getting something Ernest wants. How Ernest interacts with people depends greatly on how the first encounter goes: Good=Being polite, giving out ‘advice’ and loving teases, Bad=Either get dissolved into Ernest’s little clay body as soup or obliterated by plasma, Neutral=Straight up manipulation without the pleasantries, Freddy=Belittlement, torment, and an ass towards his maker. The only one that’s exempted from this is Dolly due to basically her blood giving him, Dorian, and Fairfax life. To Ernest, Dolly is the main co-booger in the group, therefore respect the top booger.

Bio: Ernest was  first to be made in a cheap apartment by Freddy who was wanting to make a companion for Dolly and something to get him his state alchemist licenses. While Ernest was a success thanks to Freddy stealing an old vial of Dolly’s blood, Ernest was ultimately decided to be offered up to the exam. This was mostly due to the rather violent start to Ernest’s existence, specifically eating a chunk out of Freddy’s arm. Due to this, Ernest has an intense hatred for Freddy after being separated from his brother, Dorian, to be poked and prodded by Alchemists assigned to researching him. It would be a few months before Ernest orchestrated his gruesome escape from the Alchemy Lab and learned this fascinating new game called ‘Manipulation’. Ernest learned very quickly that ‘manipulation’ came in handy for getting one to different places like being smuggled out of town by train and given donuts, lots of donuts.
