The story centers on brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric, who live in a small town in a fictional country called Amestris. Their father, Hohenheim, had left home when they were still children and years later their mother, Trisha Elric, died from a terminal illness, leaving the Elric siblings alone. After his mother's death, Edward decides to resurrect her through alchemy, one of the most advanced scientific techniques known to man. However, the attempt fails and as a consequence Edward loses his left leg, and Alphonse his body. In an effort to save his brother, Edward sacrifices his right arm to seal Alphonse's soul in armor. After this, an alchemist named Roy Mustang visits the Elric brothers and proposes that Edward become a member of the State Armed Forces and thus find a way to recover their bodies. Later, Edward's left leg and right arm are replaced by an Automail, a type of advanced prosthesis created by his friend Winry Rockbell and her grandmother Pinako. Edward sets out to become a state alchemist and after passing an arduous exam, he manages to achieve the desired rank, which is why he is given the name "steel alchemist." In their search for the philosopher's stone, the Elric brothers fight against various people as well as various antagonists, some of whom also seek the stone; Among them is Scar, one of the survivors of the Ishbal War who seeks revenge on the state alchemists for the destruction of his race, and the homunculi, a group of human-like creatures who have the ability to regenerate from any wound due to because they possess false fragments of the philosopher's stone. As the story progresses, Edward and Alphonse discover that Amestris had been created by the homunculi and they were secretly controlling the army. They also discover that some of the high-ranking officers are controlled by the creator of the homunculi, a man known as "Father", who planned to use Amestris as a giant transmutation circle and thus transmute the entire country into a philosopher's stone. When Edward and Alphonse discover the Father's plans, along with other members of the State Armed Forces, they decide to defeat him.
