Over 400 years ago, a powerful alchemist from Xerxes pulled a formless being from the Gate of Truth; the first homunculus. A being of seemingly endless knowledge but of nonexistent fortitude, it was contained within a flask to be watched by a nameless slave only given the number 23. Befriending the young man, he dubbed the slave Van Hohenheim, working with Hohenheim to preform unparalleled alchemy culminating in the complete destruction of Xerxes when its king wished to become immortal, consenting to turning his entire country into a Philosopher's Stone only for the homunculus and Hohenheim to achieve immortal, human-like bodies instead. While Hohenheim felt betrayed, the homunculus only felt accomplished, traveling west to the feudal Amestris to reforge the nation in his own image. Creating his seven homunculi to purify his soul of human emotion, he deemed himself Father. Over the course of the last 400 years, Father has manipulated Amestris into several bloody conflicts, carving a transmutation circle across the nation itself, as well as gathering alchemists who have commited human transmutation, all in service of returning to Truth and stealing the power of god. Vortex of Souls. When Father is targeted by detect magic or a similar effect, or contacted by any form of two-way telepathy, the caster hears the screams of every soul inside of him and must succeed a DC 22 Charisma saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. They may retry this saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending this effect early on a success. Mystically Mundane. Father can not spend spell slots or Alchemic Stamina. Unaging. Father does not need to eat, drink, or sleep, and does not age. |
