Character: Envy
Series: Fullmetal Alchemist manga
Character Age: appears in his teens, actually ~175
Canon: Fullmetal Alchemist could also have been called Two and a Half Limbs, How I Resurrected Your Mother, or maybe Amestris's Next Top Fuhrer. Edward and Alphonse Elric's journey to restore their wrecked bodies after a failed human transmutation snowballs into a fight to save their entire country from the deadly plans of the god-like Father and his team of homunculi-artificial, alchemy-created, super-powered humans. Father's main posse of homunculi are more than just named after the Seven Deadly Sins; they are true representations of them, which makes most of them less than pleasant to be around.
The homunculus named Envy is a parasitic larva housed inside a monstrous beast and then prettied up in a cutesy humanoid wrapper. But it's not just this that makes it the blind date from Hell: Envy is a sadist through and through, a childish creature who takes joy only in human suffering. Envy is excitable and cheerful as long as things are going its way, but as soon as someone else gets the upper hand, its wounded pride usually sends it into a foul-mouthed fury. Its greatest desire is to see humans suffer and lower themselves to its own level; to this end, it uses its shapeshifting ability and manipulative nature to create strife, preferring to sit back and watch the show rather than directly involve itself. When your very existence is made up of envying humans for their inner strength and interpersonal bonds, there's nothing so satisfying as watching their own weakness destroy them.
Envy is being apped from after (its suicide) in the manga.
Sample Post:
Stop me if you've heard this one before! So this mysterious, all-powerful being gathers herself up some very bad humans to lock in a quaint little pit of despair until she decides on a whim to let them out. In the meantime, the poor, pathetic souls sit around on their asses and take whatever torment she throws at them. Hunted by rotting corpses! Fed human flesh! Jerked around like puppets on strings! And if all that weren't enough, the little worms just love to make things even harder on themselves with petty drama and in-fighting! Gosh, what a nasty place. Know what it reminds me of? Have you got it yet, huh?
Nope, not that one! I'll just tell you. Envy's died and gone to Heaven!
Boy, it does my heart good to be here. Now I know why people find the country so relaxing in the fall. The air is cool, the leaves are beginning to turn colors-and oh, yeah, can't forget the upcoming month of torture! It's in the seasonal brochure and everything, right under "try our fresh nipple cider." I'm sure that's just a misprint. But I do understand why you're all so tense about it. I mean, with the way this place messes with your mind, who can you trust to get you through this? The same guy who carved you up like a pumpkin last Halloween? If all this buddy-buddy band together and fight the power stuff actually worked, why are there still fatalities every single year? Oh, right! Because it doesn't! How does it feel to know that all this planning and paranoia isn't going to stop a single thing? Have you cried about it yet? Do you hold one another in your shitty little cots at night and whisper about all the big, bad things coming for you soon? That's so great! Even when you know you can't permanently die, you refuse to lie down and make peace with your impotence! It's so funny how you think that's strong when you're the ones who are miserable because of it! Hahahahaha!
-Whew! Thanks, Miss Director. I really needed a good laugh. You have no idea. I think I'm going to like it here! In fact, next time you're hiring, give me a whistle. You know how to do that, right? You just put a gun to someone's head and blow. Ahaha!
In the meantime, though, let's lighten the mood a little. The atmosphere is so heavy this time of year! Hasn't anyone here ever heard of Halloween festivities? There are so many classics to choose from! A haunted house? Gee, I don't know if my sides can handle watching you all become even more pathetic with fear. Even I get tired of laughing after a while. A corn maze? That one seems redundant. There's already no escape for any of you! No, wait. You know what I propose? A costume contest! Ooh, that one's my favorite! But don't expect me to go easy on you maggots. I hate to break it to you, but I'm really, really good. You might not even realize I've won!
