with much instruction i have finally dipped my toes into the dreamwidth rp-o-sphere... hi my name's manfred, and i am VERY fresh to dreamwidth so kindly bear with me while i get myself oriented! i'm a veteran of tumblr rp and i know my way around html, so at least there's that, but if i fumble something please let me know as soon as possible. i'm infinitely grateful to everyone who's helped already!
as for characters. this is bido! he has a whopping 5 minutes of screentime in both versions of fma. because of that i don't expect even other fans to have his deal memorized; for the unfamiliar, he comes from a small and short-lived gang of fugitives, most members of which were human-animal chimeras. bido was the resident spy, and his top 5 interests were "scurrying", "cackling", "lurking", "scuttling", and "men in leather pants". unfortunately he may need some time and support before he can enjoy those things like he used to. also, it's 1914 back home, so he's likely to be even more out of his depth technology-wise than i am. feel free to give grandpa a crash course, OR: teach him wrong on purpose
his backstory (the chimera thing) involves being unethically experimented on, so for tonal purposes, i'm opting to keep him clear of lengthy interactions with the science side of team rocket for now. i'll hopefully write up a full permissions post soon but that'd be the most relevant part i think. looking forward to meeting everybody!!
