Character
Name: Gluttony
Series: FullMetal Alchemist
Timeline: End of Chapter 47/mid-Episode 23; Immediately after Ling shoves a bomb down Gluttony's throat and he is blown up
Canon Resource Links: Wiki
Personality:
Gluttony is simple and his thoughts rarely stray from eating. He has a child-like innocence and has never been one to think for himself, preferring mostly to follow the directions of others. Unlike his homunculus siblings, he does not hold a disdain for humans and has even been known to show kindness toward them, like respecting Edward's wish to not eat Ling, or happily taking Alphonse to meet Father. It is entirely possible that he is far too simple-minded to think much of humans at all, as he doesn't even seem to realize that the humans he heats die permanently. (And why would he, when he and his siblings can regenerate after being sliced and diced?)
Generally, Gluttony has a veryderpy docile personality. He can be quite friendly and eager to please, especially to Father and his siblings. Usually, Gluttony will ask for permission before eating; he generally asks one of his siblings -- whichever he happens to be paired with -- but he has also been known to ask the person he wishes to eat, as well. When given permission to eat, Gluttony's personality will take a complete 180 turn from calm and agreeable to a coldblooded murderer. He will stop at nothing to eat his pray, and will chase and attack them mercilessly, using his massive body and strong jaws to maul his targets down and rip them apart. His hunts are accompanied with maniacal laughter, glowing red eyes, and a bloodthirsty grin. It can be very amazing how he manages to switch between the two personalities almost instantly; the relentless hunter persona will quickly disappear if Gluttony either finishes eating his pray, been ordered to stop by one of his siblings or Father, or has completely lost sight of his target.
While he can be friendly to just about anyone, Gluttony doesn't form many attachments. His thought processes do not seem to be developed enough for him to care much about most, and he universally views all things as food, anyways. His siblings and Father are the only ones he shows a great degree of love, dedication, and friendliness towards, even when that sentiment is not returned. He especially has a very strong connection to Lust, who -- until her death -- was the homunculus he was most paired with. He doesn't show a whole lot of depth of emotions, and is usually either happy to be eating, disappointed that he isn't allowed to eat, or hunger-crazed when given the permission to eat. On the rare occasion that he is pushed to a breaking point, however, Gluttony can be incredibly unforgiving and vicious. This can be seen when he meets Roy Mustang after finding out that Roy was the one who'd killed Lust. In his rage, he managed to burst out of some incredibly strong binds and open the false Gate of Truth*, swallowing everything in sight. He did not relent until he was told by Envy to stop, so it seems that the words of his siblings and Father are things he would listen to without fail.
Back in Amestris, Gluttony has a heightened sense of smell, strength, strong jaws, and a powerful digestive system. This makes him the perfect person to use for tracking, and also for cleaning up messes. He does prefer to eat humans, but has eaten pretty much everything else as well without thinking too much about it. Due to his naive and simple nature, he usually had to be babysat by one of his siblings.
* Gluttony was a failed attempt at bypassing the Gate, and thus he has become a false Gate of Truth himself, which he can open at will. In this state, he has the ability to immediately consume everything within the Gate's line of sight. He will not be able to open the Gate in Johto
Strengths/Weaknesses:
+ Heightened sense of smell (power cut in half)
+ Strong; particularly in the jaw (power cut in half)
+ Generally friendly and docile
+ Eager to please
+ Loves and has a strong sense of loyalty to his family
+/- He had the ability to eat pretty much anything before, but he can no longer do that in Johto; he still has a better-than-average digestive system, though
+/- Child-like
- Mentally slow/not very intelligent
- Usually doesn't think of much outside of food
- Always hungry
- Clumsy
- Goes into frenzies when given permission to eat

First Person Sample:
[ It's taken quite a while for Gluttony to understand that the 'Gear is not food. If nothing else, he's already gone through two of them.
He hasn't learned how to actually use it yet, though. And so at the moment, it's been dropped onto the ground and is accidentally recording. Gluttony is walking away from the 'Gear, because... well... what use does he have for something that he can't eat?
Right before he's completely gone off-screen, though, a Lickitung rushes back to pick up the 'Gear. With 'Gear in hand, Lickitung runs back to Gluttony's side, and holds it out.
Have a close-up of Gluttony's face, Johto, as he examines the device. ]
What is it?
[ He brings a large finger up to his mouth and sucks on it as he gives the device a curious look. There are strange images inside of it. He isn't sure what to do with them. For a minute, he seriously considers giving this device another try, to see if it will taste any different. But then he is reminded of the last two times he'd tried, and Gluttony shakes his head at Lickitung. ]
We can't eat that.
[ Instead of taking the 'Gear, he simply turns and begins walking away. ]
Lets go find something tasty.
Third Person Sample:
The giant, round blob is sucking on one of his fingers, and staring down at a tiny Metapod on the ground.
"CanIeatit?" The question comes out muffled, and is directed toward the only other thing around, which would be a Lickitung standing next to him. The Lickitung spends a moment staring at the Metapod. And then, it extends its long tongue and gives the cocoon a lick. The Metapod seems to have absolutely no reaction whatsoever.
Gluttony takes this as an affirmation that the green thing -- whatever it was -- would be okay to eat. He's hungry, after all, and he's yet to meet a human, so this will have to do. Excitedly, he grasps both hands around the Metapod and brings the cocoon up to his mouth.
He takes a bite, but immediately, his impression turns sour and he drops the Metapod onto the ground. It his the ground with a rather loud clang, but Gluttony barely notices. He brings a hand up to rub his mouth, and gives his Lickitung a teary-eyed look.
"Ooouch... it's too hard." There's a sense of bewilderment in his voice. This has never happened before, and he is unsure what to do. He is very much used to just shoving anything he's told he can eat into his mouth and not having to think about the logistics of how to eat it.
"What can I eat?"
The Lickitung tilts its head at Gluttony (didn't he want to capture that Metapod? It's obviously been knocked out after being licked and then dropped...) For a minute, Gluttony and Lickitung stare each other down.
And then, Lickitung is waddling off. Gluttony follows, leaving the Metapod behind. They stop in front of a large bush with tiny, red berries growing on it. Lickitung switches his gaze from Gluttony to the bush, obviously trying to tell Gluttony that these berries would be safe to eat.
Gluttony sniffs the bush once, and then, instead of picking the berries off, he opens his mouth and bites down onto the bush, taking a chunk of branches, leaves, and berries into his mouth.
This isn't anything like eating a human, but it will have to do for now...
