Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood is the new and improved version of Full Metal Alchemist which is about two brothers, Edward Elric the older brother now age 15, and Alphonse Elric the younger brother now age 14. They lost their mother at ages 4 and 5 due to an illness shortly after their father walked out of them. Edward is very short tempered and has an explosive personality so you know he blames it all on his father who wasn't there when their mom died. They had a very close bond with their mom because she was sweet, kind, encouraging, etc. she's like Jane pretty much. The boys found their father's alchemy books and studied alchemy back when their mom was still alive. She always encouraged them to keep using it and learning it. Since they knew alchemy and would do anything to get their mom back they performed the greatest sin of all alchemy sins, human transmutation, to try and bring their mother back to life. As a result Edward lost his left arm and Alphonse lost his body. Edward bleeding out on the ground desperate to bring his brother back grabbed a suit of armor and wrote a soul bond in his blood bonding Alphonse to a suit of armor. He then lost his right leg because of it. After that they desperately tried to get to their childhood friend Winry's house so they could save their own lives. Winry lives with her grandmother because her parents died in the Ishvalin war, but that's a whole other story, the state alchemists and the Amestris military colonel Roy Mustang a.k.a. The flame alchemist found Edward and Alphonse and invited them to join the military. The grandmother quickly refused the offer but Roy told her it was their choice and she can't do anything to stop them. They joined the military and quickly found out about the Phelosipher's stone and how it is used for human transmutation that could actually become successful. (The attempt to bring their mom back failed) they also found out what homunculi were and how they were made as well as the great secret of the Phelosipher's stone. They now work for the military to get the stone and get their bodies back.
