Amestris has many state alchemists
but only this one is renowned for his fists.
His muscles abound, his chest’s often bare,
and on his head, barely a trace of hair.
He approaches every task with vigor
and cuts a very imposing figure,
But there is no one as kind or as gentle
to the brothers Elric, armored and Fullmetal.
Passed down through the years, his unique technique
can only be practiced with such fine physique.
By punching the ground, he makes the earth rise
and, with spikes galore, he will pulverize
any who try to hurt his friends or family.
Though he may look gruff, he is actually
the kindest alchemist you ever will meet.
If he’s your friend, he will hug till you’re beet
red, for he doesn’t always know his strength,
and for his allies, he will go to any length.
Strongarm Alchemist, renown pugilist.
Alex Armstrong, the true heart of Amestris.
