Shane Hale

Shane Hale is a young and powerful state alchemist.

Early Life
Not much is known about Shane's early life, other than that his parents died at an early age.

Appearance
Shane is a 5'11" 20 year old man. He has slightly long black hair and blueish silver eyes. He always wears a black overcoat, black pants, black work shoes, black fingerless gloves with transmutation circles drawn in white on them, and a white button up undershirt. He commonly, but not always, wears a white headband.

Personality
Shane is a kind hearted person, and he easily lets other know this. He is laid back most of the time, and is very flexible to changes. He is protective of his friends and wants nothing more than to keep them from harm. In combat, he is serious and determined, completely unwavering from his goal.

Abilities
As the Light Alchemist, Shane has a mastery over light, and can utilize its energy to fuel his alchemy. He can use light drawn from any source, so the only place he can't use his light alchemy is in total darkness, where light does not exist. Shane can also use non-elemented alchemy to a high degree, and he can use his environment with his normal alchemy to create his own sources of light, allowing him to use his light alchemy. Shane's physical ability is at it's peak. He is an incredibly fast runner, and he can use his alchemy to increase his speed highly, and his agility, dexterity, and reflexes are near inhuman. He is a one of a kind marksman, able to defeat Riza Hawkeye's specialty with firearms, and his swordmanship is enough to rival Fuhrer Bradley himself. He is also incredibly skilled in hand-to-hand combat, able to defeat many skilled enemies with that alone. His senses are very finely tuned, allowing him to detect nearly any object or person in a wide radius.

Equipment
Shane carries with him nothing but his personally forged sword, Levity, and his two customized M1911 handguns, Freedom and Justice. He carries with him three extra magazines for both, but he doesn't usually use them, as he prefers to create his own ammunition using alchemy, but he keeps them on standby in case he can't use his alchemy for whatever reason.
