![]() ![]() ![]() Even with all these idiosyncrasies, he is extremely personable and his particularly complimentary nature easily gains him the friendship and trust of those surrounding him. He displays a childlike amusement for new situations whether or not they prove adverse or even potentially fatal, has a penchant for wandering off on his own only to collapse in the middle of a street, and is infamous in the Elric brothers' minds for having a voracious appetite despite never carrying enough cash to feed himself. On the surface, Ling comes off as a rather silly and lighthearted person, frequently engaging in comical behavior and retaining his oft-present grin even while making threats. Also in this form, Greed can use his shield and change Ling's body to have his shield. After the transformation, Ling's normally black eyes take on the same wine-like color of the other Homunculi and appear open more often. The orientation of his bangs differs depending on which person is in control of the body at any given time parted to the right if Greed is in control and to the left if Ling is in control ( manga only). His forearms and abdomen are also wrapped in strips of white cloth called sarashi.Īfter his assimilation with Greed, Ling's outfit switches to one of all black, with a black sleeveless Nehru jacket worn closed under a long, black trench coat with black slacks and black shoes. ![]() ![]() The sword, rather than being sheathed, is wrapped in white tape. Ling's original, signature outfit, consists of loose white trousers and a goldenrod shirt which bears a white flame pattern at the base and cuffs, small wing decorations at the collar and a large bird's head marking on the back - likely suggesting a phoenix motif - worn open to reveal his bare torso and the sword strap that keeps a Dao sword suspended across his back. Ling wears his black hair long and tied in a ponytail with a white ribbon while his long, spiky bangs hang over his face, often obscuring one of his eyes - usually the right, though this varies depending on the direction he's facing. His dark eyes have been described by other characters as "squinty" or "shifty" and, indeed, they appear as if closed most of the time, opening only to depict Ling's darker or more serious emotions such as anger, horror, frustration, or avarice, among others. Greed has one fatal weakness despite his toughness: alchemy can control his carbon-oriented defense mechanism.Ling is tall and looks mature for his age, despite actually being a few months younger than Edward, and has a lean, muscular, and slender frame clearly toned from a lifetime of training in the Xingese martial arts. His impenetrable armor, combined with the exceptional regeneration inherent in all the homunculi, makes him really strong. Fans witnessed the potency of his ability when bullets proved to be useless against his armor coating. He can manipulate the carbon residing in his body, making his skin extremely hard to penetrate. Greed is alternatively known as Father’s “Ultimate Shield" due to his signature skill. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood showed viewers the true extent of Greed’s capacities after he possessed Ling, allowing him to use the human’s martial arts skills. Consequently, he abandoned the agenda set by Father to pursue his selfish interests and desires. Usually, the homunculi are extremely loyal to Father and his plans however, Greed’s avaricious nature was greater than his loyalty to his creator, Father. Amongst all the homunculi, Greed's covetousness is second to none. ![]()
