Perfect Homunculus[edit]

The Perfect homunculus is a construct created from alchemy. It is the pinnacle of all life forms emerging from a core of concentrated magic.

Personality[edit]

Perfect homunculi correspond to the values of all those whose souls have been compressed at their core, because they already have a fixed age in their creation process, most of them did not have a childhood to develop an independent personality.

Physical Description[edit]

A Perfect Homunculus appears to be identical to a human, but its body is stronger and less fragile. Even if it is modeled after a specific person, the homunculus always appears more attractive. Some argue that this is evidence of their perfection, as their creation is "the final state of evolution", their heart is a pulsing red crystal; a philosopher's stone and some homunculi also have wings.

No one really knows how a Perfect Homunculus is created, but there are reports that in battles where thousands upon thousands lost their lives the creation of such a homunculi could be confirmed.

Relations[edit]

Perfect Homunculi find it difficult to form relationships

Lands[edit]

Perfect homunculi do not have lands of their own, for they are the unique products of compressed soul energy.

Religion[edit]

Perfect homunculi believe in science and only become religious when they can positively establish the existence of gods.

Language[edit]

Perfect Homunculi speak the language of there creator and common.

Names[edit]

Perfect homunculi are usually named after the place where they were found. Should a Perfect Homunculus give itself a name, it will likely be a combination of the names of the individuals compressed into its core.
