The Alchemist

A lesson without pain is meaningless. That's because no one can gain without sacrificing something. But by enduring that pain and overcoming it, he shall obtain a powerful, unmatched heart. A full-metal heart.

The mystical practice of alchemy to create objects out of raw matter or turn one object into another is widely believed to be capable of anything - indeed alchemy is often viewed as magical or miraculous by those unfamiliar with the craft - but it is a science and as such is subject to certain laws and limitations, all of which fall under the concept of Equivalent Exchange : "In order to obtain or create something, something of equal value must be lost or destroyed."

 

Alchemy

In order to begin an alchemical transmutation, a symbol called a Transmutation Circle is necessary. A Transmutation Circle can either be drawn on the spot when a transmutation is necessary (in chalk, pencil, ink, paint, thread, blood or even traced in dirt) or permanently etched or inscribed beforehand, but without it, transmutation is generally impossible. Unless you commit the the forbidden taboo among all alchemist.

There are three paths of the alchemist:

The Taboo-ed Alchemist: You give up a piece of your soul for a forbidden power that may comeback to haunt you, but it will aid you in your Journey.

Stated Alchemist: Trained in the art of pure alchemy, and was taught who to value life and never cross the law of Equal Exchange.

Alkahestry Alchemist: The head of the Yao clan, trained you in the style of Xing  Alchemy and respecting the living and enjoying life.

 

Alkahestry Alchemist

Alkahestry  also called Purification Arts , refers to the slightly different form of Alchemy used in the country of Xing. On that principle, your alchemy is more effect on heal and repair organic objects. 

Purification Art : Knowing how to create circle formation in any situation, and perform healing alchemy.

Deconstruction - Using energy to break down the physical structure of the identified material into a more malleable state so as to be easily reshaped into a new form.

Reconstruction - Continuing the flow of energy so as to reform the material into a new shape.

 

Forbidden Alchemist

Unfortunately, Your experiment have given birth to a dark and sinister side of alchemy. Whether out of despair, malice or inquisitive hubris, several alchemists have been known to attempt the application of transmutation to the human body and/or soul, in essence, playing God with human lives. But, just as the Law of Equivalent Exchange applies to the transmutation of non-living matter, devastating rebounds can occur in Human Transmutation because human lives and souls are priceless according to the flow of the world.

On that note you are immediately dragged thru a gate and decide your fate Roll make a DC 10. If you survive you gain the knowledge of com alchemy:

Comprehension - Understanding the inherent structure and properties of the atomic or molecular makeup of a particular material to be transmuted, including the flow and balance of potential and kinetic energy within.

Deconstruction - Using energy to break down the physical structure of the identified material into a more malleable state so as to be easily reshaped into a new form.

Reconstruction - Continuing the flow of energy so as to reform the material into a new shape.

 

State Alchemist

Being apart of a government association grants certain perks and benefits, well too you. 

Obey the Military - As part of the military system, State Alchemists are subject to the government hierarchy and must obey the orders of their superiors as well as devote themselves entirely to the protection, advancement and well-being of the country. This give the power to enter government official building, and turning away guards and police. 

Do Not Create Gold - Though all alchemists in the nation of your country are held to this law so as to keep the national economy from falling into chaos, State Alchemists are more heavily leaned upon to uphold this standard, due to their position under government surveillance, and are subject to military charges upon its transgression.

Do Not Create Humans - The nationwide prohibition of Human Transformation, though also enforced in the case of all alchemists, is particularly forbidden to State Alchemists due to the fact that their access to advanced research notes and materials makes it more likely that anyone making a realistic attempt at the forbidden craft would be in the government's employ.
