I like the darker characters, Bothari and Mark, so I'm not surprised that my 
favorite FMA characters, after Hughes, are Scar and two of the humoculi, Lust 
and Gluttony. The latter got a lot of sympathy from me after what happens to 
him in the last two episodes. A monster, simple and made even simpler, but 
nobody deserves that...

Lust and Scar are a weird not-couple. Not heroes, but they choose their 
destinies with eyes wide open.

And, of course, I'm a sucker for a vengeance plot ("Hallo! My name is Inigo 
Montoya. You killed my father- prepare to die!")

Hughes: (showing Ed a picture) Look! Can you believe how big Alicia has 
gotten? She can even ride a tricycle now. She follows me everywhere on that thing, 
like my own escort of cuteness.
Ed: Yep, you're the same as ever, Major...Nice and insane.

(Hughes is delivering a message from Mustang)
Hughes: He said: "Don't die under my command, you're enough of a pain without 
with the paperwork." That was it.
Ed: Tell him, "Fine... there's-no-way-I'm-dying-before-you-do, 
you-morally-bankrupt-Colonel-with-a-god-complex".

"Hey! I'm as normal as they get! This is a contest of freaks! What do you 
want me to do? Hit them with my sling shot?"~Hughes

Ed: Even when our eyes are closed, there's a whole world out there... that 
lives outside ourselves and our dreams.
