Alphonse Elric Fullmetal Alchemist
I don't believe in never. Hope keeps me going. And, finally, hope has given us a lead on how we might get our bodies back. No matter how many years it takes, I won't give up. So please don't say that you're going to give up.

Summary

Alphonse Elric (アルフォンス・エルリック, Arufonsu Erurikku) is the younger brother of Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist, Al is also a victim of the failed Human Transmutation experiment in which Ed lost his right arm and left leg. Having had his entire physical being taken away from him in the aftermath of the tragedy, Alphonse exists solely as a soul alchemically bound to a large suit of steel armor. Now, Al travels with his brother in search of the legendary Philosopher's Stone, an item with the power to restore their bodies to normal.

Powers and Stats

Tier: 8-C, higher with alchemy, 7-C with a philosopher's stone

Name: Alphonse Elric

Origin: Fullmetal Alchemist

Gender: Male

Age: 14 to 15 during the events of Fullmetal Alchemist

Classification: Human, Soul bound to a suit of armor

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Alchemy, Martial Arts (Trains regularly with his brother[1] who had initially never beaten him and considered him a much better fighter.[2] While Edward eventually managed to beat Alphonse, albeit with a sneak attack,[3] Alphonse still continued to grow in power,[4] enough to compete with fighters such as Scar,[5] who could previously easily defeat him), Unconventional Astral Projection and Immortality (Type 9: Alphonse's body resides beyond Truth's Gate, and controls the suit of armor his spirit is bound to remotely,[6] and even the destruction of its blood seal would not actually "kill" Alphonse's soul,[7] but simply force it to remain behind the Gate of Truth), Self-Sustenance (All types. As a suit of armor, Alphonse cannot eat, breathe[8] or sleep[9]), Inorganic Physiology (Type 2, while Alphonse has a consciousness, it resides in a different realm, and controls the suit of armor it is bound to remotely), Resistance to Pain Manipulation (Cannot feel pain[9]), Chi Manipulation (Does not have Chi[10]) and Extrasensory Perception (His soul could not be sensed by Fu and others who normally can[10]), Unconventional Resistance to Mind Manipulation and similar abilities (Alphonse's mind and body reside in a realm different from the one the armor he controls is in[6])

Attack Potency: Building level (Was originally stronger than Edward, and is still at least comparable to Edward and Scar by the end of the series[2][5]). higher with alchemy (His alchemy should be comparable to his brother's), Town level with a Philosopher's Stone (Solf J. Kimblee was impressed by the power of the stone and clashed with Alphonse's alchemy[11])

Speed: Supersonic (Was originally faster than Edward,[2] and is still at least comparable to Edward and Scar by the end of the series[5])

Lifting Strength: Class 10 (Superior to Edward. Crushed a pistol with his grip[12])

Striking Strength: Building level

Durability: Building level (Is far more durable than his brother thanks to his metal body)

Stamina: Infinite in armor (Alphonse cannot get tired[13] and does not feel pain, although breaking the armor apart does incapacitate him)

Range: Extended Melee Range (Alphonse's arms are so long he can contend with armed opponents[13]), up to Kilometers with weapon creation, at least tens of meters with Alchemy (Should be comparable to his brother), Interdimensional with certain uses of Alchemy (Alchemy can be used to open a gate[14] to Truth's realm and bind souls that reside in it to objects in the real world[6])

Standard Equipment: The armor he is bound to

Intelligence: At least Gifted (With Edward, could crack the code of an alchemy book disguised as a cookbook.[15] Learned alchemy at a very young age just by reading about it.[16] Learned how to start fires and get food in a wild island when he was still a child.[17])

Standard Tactics: Due to their shared training, Alphonse's fighting style is a lot like Ed's, although he does not use weapons as much as Ed does, often preferring hand to hand combat. Alphonse typically uses his Alchemy in combat by making structures to assist himself, whether for defense,[18] offense[19] or mobility,[10] often in fairly creative ways.[20] As he has witnessed Truth's gate, he can perform Alchemy without a circle, simply with a clap of his hands. Alphonse is a pacifist, and would rather avoid combat and violence if possible.

Weaknesses: Does not have a sense of touch.[21] If the seal that ties his soul to his body is destroyed,[22] he will die. Has a potentially very short lifespan.[9]
