Personality: Fuery is a puppy. Well not literally, even though this canon could make such a possibility, but let’s not go down that route. Ahem, Fuery’s personality and the way certain traits of his are exhibited in canon can be very likened to that of a puppy or still not fully grown dog. Though you don’t have to take my word for it, but I’m certain as you read about him you’ll start to agree.
Let’s start from the top and work our way into understanding Sergeant Major Kain Fuery.
For being an enlisted soldier Fuery doesn’t seem like it, there’s no harsh edges or the puffed up chest that people typically think of when thinking of military guys. Then again Fuery mostly joined to make a career out of his hobby of tinkering with radios. So yes, in several ways Fuery fits the nerd aspect due to this. He’s a timid in some cases, quiet, and soft spoken individual. Well, soft spoken when you compare him to those like Major Armstrong and such. Mostly though, Fuery is pretty content to be in the background and doing his duties while letting others (Mustang) play politics and climb the rank ladder.
Though, don’t let this fool you into thinking he’s weak or not at all ambitious. It’s just that all of his strengths and dedication have been coopted into the service of Roy Mustang. Like many tales both well known and locally known about dogs being faithful and loyal to their owners to extremely high levels. Fuery has that same level of loyalty to Mustang. After all not just anyone is willing to endure being on the frontlines only to desert from the military the moment Mustang calls for his scattered unit to reunite. (The loyalty points double when you take into account that desertion from his military post would most likely lead to his execution of Mustangs coup failed or if Fuery had been caught in transit from his post to the meeting point for said coup.)
One could say it’s a bit foolish to put so much trust and confidence into one person, but Fuery isn’t alone in doing so, and well he’s not exactly known for having a lot of points in life experience.
Yes, some may find it funny or even worrying that this young military man is still considered naive in several instances of the word. One has to recall though that Fuery is pretty young and likely went straight into his career path early on. The fact he joined when most of the large scale fighting was over, and his skill set making him more valuable remaining within reach then being given a gun and doing grunt work on a contested border also adds to him being sheltered in a way. To some this would appear to be a barrier or the base worth in regards to Fuery, meaning many would overlook him and any potential he has because they look at his lack of experience as a negative and not something that can be cured over time.
This potential is likely why he was tapped and enfolded into Mustang’s unit outside of his general kindness that is.
I mention this as officially Mustang apparently labeled Fuery as a person of interest and potential subordinate due to said kindness, and how well Fuery treated those ranked lower then him and placed in under his command. As Fuery is naturally good natured and helpful it lends him to being a bit of the optimistic and good cheer in the unit at times. Almost as a sort of mascot role to an untrained observer or one who dismisses his radio expertise as hardly worth any note amidst the talent pool of Mustang’s unit.
Within this unassuming and chipper man is steely resolve and strength that makes him make up for his lack of combat experience and prowess into being a devoted and extraordinary support type. This resolve seen clearly when due to an attempt to weaken Mustang the entire unit was scattered to the four winds, and had Fuery end up in the trenches on the border conflict with Aerugo. Despite not being a frontliner and watching friends and comrade be killed, while he is avoiding suffering the same death by shellfire; he doesn’t cower or hesitate at all. Instead telling himself that he would survive and he would once again help Mustang in his plans.
Strengths/Weaknesses: +/- Fuery has a very solid foundation in mechanics, especially radio technology. However considering his world, aside from magical Alchemy shounen powers, has the general level of technology that would fit right in with the European Industrial Revolution (19th century) that puts him at a disadvantage when compared to things like pokegear.
+ Though this large information gap may seem daunting, Fuery is intelligent and resourceful enough to do all he can to close this technological gap and gain understanding in how such devices in this world will work.
+/-Fuery’s optimism and stubbornness will make it hard for him to give up once he sets his mind on something.
- Despite his military career and everything he’s gone through back in his world, Fuery is still naive and possibly overly trusting in some areas. Which could be bad if he’s quick to forgive when he should instead be wary.
- Because of the time period setting of his world, Psychiatric help isn’t exactly a large thing. Thus, Fuery and his time on the front lines likely will result in various symptoms linked to untreated Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
-Fuery needs glasses, though how strong of a prescription they are and whether it’s near or far sightedness. Considering he spends a lot of time staring into the innards of machines, reading telegrams, and looking over technical diagrams it’s likely a case of nearsighted problems.
+ Because of his military career Fuery is in good shape and is used to carrying large amount of weight on his back due to rucksacks, ammo, and the backpack like contraption seen in canon that is used to run telephone wire through the trenches in order to connect various outposts.
+ In this same vein Fuery is at least adapt in firearms, and likely has some, if only minimal, hand to hand combat training.
- Likewise, due to being military Fuery is used to a command structure and the rigid guidelines that one follows in regards such. Meaning he’ll likely have habits that won’t die easily and will look for some sort of chain of command as a touchstone to steady himself as he settles into this world.
