♕ RIZA HAWKEYE [ FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST ]♔ ROY MUSTANG [ FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST ]
Riza is the person Roy trusts most in the world, to guard not only his back but his soul.
But now they are each hiding things from one another - Roy, his possession of a Philosopher's Stone, and Riza the truth about their relationship from his previous stay in Adstring.

Is it egotistical to put himself as king of the board? Maybe. But it is his game, after all.
♘ ALPHONSE ELRIC [ FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST ]♘ EDWARD ELRIC [ FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST ]
Of the two Elric brothers, Al is the easiest to get along with. Roy respects Al's alchemical talent and his determination to get his body back without harming the lives of others. He did not intend for either of the Elric brothers to become pieces in his game of politics, but they have become important allies and, all snark aside, dear friends.

Though he was the one to talk Edward into becoming a state alchemist, Roy had not wanted to be saddled with the young man. Ed's independent, rebellious nature clashed with his military training. Or perhaps it's more accurate to say they are too much alike.
Still, Roy greatly respects Ed, and in his heart of hearts, considers him a friend.

♖ JEAN LOUIS DUROC [ SILVER WOLF ]♙ BEKA COOPER [ PROVOST'S GUARD ]
Jean Louis seems to be a kindred spirit, another ambitious man who wants to make Adstringendum a better place. Roy is happy to help him with the police force and burgeoning government, but he won't hesitate to go his own way if he ends up disagreeing with Jean Louis' methods.

Roy admires her practicality and her dedication to justice. She might be somebody he can use.

♙ NEGI SPRINGFIELD [ MAHOU SENSEI NEGIMA ]♙ FAYE VALENTINE [ COWBOY BEBOP ]
Negi knows Roy, but Roy has no memories of Negi. Still, the young man seems nice enough, and is Al's partner. Roy trusts him tentatively.

Another person Roy doesn't remember, but it seems like they were friends.

♙ UNOHANA RETSU [ BLEACH ]♙ HYUUGA HINATA [ NARUTO ]
Riza trusts her. Since Roy doesn't remember her at all, that will have to be good enough for now.

♙ SARAH JANE SMITH [ THE SARAH JANE ADVENTURES ]
A smart, sassy lady who seems like she'd keep a cool head in a crisis. Roy would like her on his side.

♟ "KENNETH CRANE" (aka ELIOT SPENCER) [ LEVERAGE ]♟ KURAPICA [ HUNTER X HUNTER ]
"Kenneth" seems to be hiding something. Perhaps a military background? Roy doesn't dislike him, per se, but he's not ready to trust him yet.

Kurapica managed to push all the wrong buttons upon their first introduction.

♟ JOHANNES CABAL [ JOHANNES CABAL NECROMANCER ]♟ NARAKU [INUYASHA]
They've never interacted, but the man claims to be a necromancer, which immediately puts him on Roy's "To Be Watched" list.

A man who merits watch. So to speak.

He kidnapped Riza. He will pay for that.
