Elric brothers

Two brothers named Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric who lost their mother. Their father is Hohenheim. They were trained by Izumi Curtisin the arts of Alchemy. After returning home from their training, the boys attempted to resurrect their mother. In doing this they broke one of the laws of Alchemy. All they ended up creating was a monster, not really human. The transmutation took away Al's entire body, and Ed's leg. In an attempt to get Al's soul back, Ed sacrificed his arm. It worked, and Ed bound the sould to a suit of armor. In the aftermath, Al took ed to the Rockbells in order to obtain help. They were able to save Ed but when he woke up later, he suprisingly asked that they use some of the money that their mother left them for automail. While a very painful process, Ed was able to bear it because as he said, "This is nothing compared to what He's lost" (referring to Ed) Shortly after The boys burned their house in a symbolic gesture, meaning they had no home to come back to, and went on a search for the Philosopher's Stone, since it can bypass the law of equivalent exchange.
