Talk:Father

Hi, I decided to make a change here when I noticed something that didn't make sense.

Father's True Form, it had "This is the only form that takes damage"

I didn't get it because the whole explanation was about how it didn't take any damage and is invulnerable to anything. And when you take into consideration that his Hohenheim form was impaled numerous times before he was expelled; that's damage, and his God form was beaten to an everlasting pulp, they take damage. So I decided to change "This is the only form that does "not" take damage"

I hope that's a better change. 97.123.89.238 19:03, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Father just a title?
As I understood it from the manga "Father´s" true name is actually Homonculus, and Father is merely what his children (understandably) call him. This rubs off on Edward and others when they hear the Homonculi talk about him, but I don't think he ever states he has renamed himself Father, nor does Hohenheim, the only person who really knows him, refer to him as such. 81.236.21.141 19:03, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Well, Hohenheim is really the only person who calls him "Homunculus" (Hohenheim's master called him 'the homunculus') so the name Homunculus is really just a title. Since the majority name for him is Father, that is what we should call him.--Full Metal Fan 04:57, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

He himself says that he wish to be called Homonculus, I believe, and he never tells others to call him Father. But maybe it's better we go with what most readers/characters (whichever you meant) call him rather than what's only technically true. Perhaps it deserves a trivia mention? 81.236.21.141 20:12, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Good Gentlemen?
I just noticed that another name has been added to Father's name box now.

"The Good Gentlemen"?

Huh? I've never heard anyone call him that before, where did it come from? I'm up for removing it unless someone can fill me in. Tommy-Vercetti 14:08, June 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Generals of Central Command don't call him Father. Brigadier General Edison refers to him as "The Good Gentleman" a number of times. CorbeauKarasu 15:01, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Deceased
Father is in the deceased category... is that really true? From what I saw, he's technically not "dead", morso banished than anything else. He's gone for good, sure, but technically, he's not dead. Tommy-Vercetti 21:15, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

Missing out alot of info from the 2009 series
Don't just write "In the manga" or "Manga", write "Manga and 2009 anime series". You guys forget to add the part when the Homunculus Greed was brought to Father's lair, refused to be a good son and help his father, and Father got Greed into his soul temporiary. Another part you guys forgot was that in Episode 28 of the 2009 series, Father made Van Hohenheim's sons Edward and Alphonse Elric and the Elrics' friend Ling Yao, later trying to battle him, and put Greed's Philosopher's Stone into Ling's body.
