      DESCRIPTION:
       → Felix's sandy blonde hair comes down just past his ears in a neat, natural arrangement that requires little grooming. He keeps his face well-shaven as well. His brown eyes are usually hidden behind tinted blue or rose lenses, depending on whether he's outside or inside, respectively. Of course, his face isn't what most people notice about him. The thing that draws people's attention is his shiny automail left arm. With an alkahestry array spiraling up the outside of the forearm and a cold-weather alloy because it's just so much lighter, it catches a good bit of attention when he isn't wearing gloves. He hates having to take the things off the automail hand, so he tends to avoid them if not facing dress inspection. His normal attire consists of the traditional Amestrian military uniform, but when in civilian clothes he wears a brown suit with a burgundy tie. He stands at 188cm and has an average frame, nothing remarkable.

       PERSONALITY:
       → Felix isn't the average redshirt soldier. He took a job with the Amestrian military out of a sense of adventure, more than anything.  He's a curious man, which sometimes leads to unfavorable situations, like the one where he lost his arm. He knows that curiosity killed the cat, but that doesn't stop him from wanting to discover new things and visit new places. His Alkahestry was developed with that in mind: travelling from place to place and healing injuries is everyone's idea of the cliche wandering Alkahestrist.

Felix is polite. It's just how he was raised. He's courteous to everyone until they give him a reason not to be. He's sociable as well; he talks to people just because they're there. Of course, he has his bad days, but he's just likely to shut down on those days and not talk to anyone. It's a huge difference, and easy to notice if you know him, but he doesn't walk around town with tears running down his face. He just looks quiet when he's sad.

Felix is good at keeping his emotions contained, when he has to, such as simply looking quiet when he's depressed. He's a practiced actor just out of necessity. He can suck up orders that he doesn't like, he can bluff someone under pressure, and he can lie through his teeth if he must. Part of the reason he can do this is his skill at venting his frustration without other people necessarily realizing it at the time. He's an insufferable prankster, but he's tricky about it and he tries not to leave any traces. People who offend him will find bananas strategically placed in their path, ink applied to binoculars, and mysterious deposits of whipped cream in their personal effects, and yet there's always somewhere else that Felix was, just at the right time.

       → High Altitude

       HISTORY:
       → Felix was born in East City. His parents worked as automail mechanics. His life growing up wasn't exactly normal, but it was happy for the most part. He was extremely curious. His childhood was dotted with a series of minor episodes of trouble brought on by sticking his nose in other people's business, but otherwise, he was a normal kid.

As a teenager, Felix started showing his sharp intellect. He left the public school system to get homeschooled, and finished swiftly at the age of 16. Instead of moving on to college, however, he started experimenting with Xingese alkahestry. After a good year of research and hypothetical experiments, Felix finally made an array, without his parents' knowledge; a medical array to trigger blood clots at an accelerated rate to treat major lacerations.

It worked a little too well.

In retrospect, testing the array on himself was not the smartest thing he could've done. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that. However, in the idiocy of youth, he decided that a thin cut on his left arm would be the perfect first test. His array was sound, but he forgot to limit the alkahestry and instead of drawing platelets forward and stimulating the growth of fibrin at only the cut site, fibrin spread through the blood vessels on his arm.

For all those unaware of what fibrin is, picture his left arm's blood vessels becoming one big blood clot. It wasn't good for his health. He stumbled down the stairs, was rushed to the hospital, and it was determined that the slow-spreading fibrin would be best stopped by amputating the arm. It wasn't pleasant, but it saved Felix's life.

His parents being automail engineers, and not half-bad at it, he began the rehabilitation to prepare himself for an automail left arm pretty quickly. While he left most of the specifics of the arm up to his more experienced parents, he did refine his array and convince them, eventually, to incorporate it up the side of the artificial limb.

The physical conditioning after he got his limb was rigorous. His dream of exploring the world was pretty much toast at this point, at least the part where he ended up some kind of wandering philanthropic alkahestrist. However, the Amestrian military was pretty accepting of a now-19-year-old alkahestrist field medic wanting to see somewhere outside of home.

Path seemingly clear, he signed on with the military, going through training and being assigned to South City. He was, mercifully, on leave to visit home when the... crater incident occurred. Now restored to active duty and recently made Head of Health at the South City base due to his ongoing research into alkahestry and medicine, he applies himself first and foremost to the effort to find a cure for the new Deadlight disease plaguing the world.

      TRIVIA:
       → Doesn't actually have Rx lenses in his glasses. They're tinted to reduce eyestrain; the blue ones in natural light and the rose ones in artificial light. The tint isn't that dark, either, just a light filter.
      → Speaks Amestrian, Cretan with an Amestrian accent, and Xingese.
