That's right. I only discovered it very recently... I've noticed that I've always been different from all the other humans. Among my peers, I'm a bit of an outcast. And not even just an ordinary nerd... I never quite understood why, but I was just different. Naturally. It was in my intelligence, my behavior... now, I finally know why I was so different from all you other humans. Because I'm not human. I'm a homunculus. My real name is Stubbornness. Stubbornness the Obstinate.
I don't know how when it happened - probably at a very early age, because I don't even remember ever becoming a homunculus. I always lived the way I do. I don't know who made me this way... but now, I know why my parents were always so reluctant to take me to the doctor, especially for surgery. I had an ouroboros tatoo on my... er, rear end. Hey, it's not funny!
It also explains why I always seemed to heal injuries so quickly. My parents kept telling me it was almost normal, though I was just a bit physically gifted that way... yeah, some gift. It was my homunculus regenerative ability.
After I discovered I was a homunculus, I soon also found my special homunculus ability. I, Stubbornness, can manipulate a special, seemingly new type of energy, hardening energy, at will. The amount of hardening energy in an object can make the matter in it stronger. I can use it psychokinetically and install amounts of it in objects from a distance, objects I'm touching, or my own body. I guess that might be where the expression 'hard-headed' about stubbornness comes from... or vice versa. This may sound like alchemy or Greed's Ultimate Shield, but it's really different. It doesn't use carbon or strengthen atomic bonds or just change the object. It uses pure energy in one of its rarer forms.
Now, before you attack me as an enemy, I will tell you, I don't know what to do. Which side to join? I know I'm a homunculus now... but I don't know, I'm not evil like the other homunculi seem to be (well, stubbornness IS a minor sin). I don't want to destroy you humans... why? I like humans, I grew up with you guys! On the other hand, I do kind of see what the other homunculi are talking about sometimes... when they say human beings are fools? No, I'm not saying you're fools, just... well, I've always seen myself as smarter than everyone around me... I mean, come on, it's true, you guys have fallen to bloodshed and war so many times during the course of history and you still haven't learned a thing! And at times, you, especially my peers, seem pretty darn stupid... but I still don't look down on you like animals, and I certainly have to desire to exterminate you!
And not to mention that if I refuse to join them, they probably won't exactly say "okay" and take it! I can't imagine them accepting one of their own being a traitor. If I run into them and outwardly refuse them, they could very well come after me, and think, I just discovered what I am this week, how much of a chance do you think a beginner homunculus has against 7 veterans?! I don't want to test what my hardening powers are compared to Greed's Ultimate Shield or how they hold against Lust's Ultimate Spear!
Now, remember who I am. I'm Stubbornness the Obstinate. So anything you say in your comments probably won't affect me in my dilemma... but just in case, I'd like to know what you guys have to say about this. Just don't hate too much on my bretheren... remember, I'm still partly one of them now.
Okay... I've made up my mind. I am Stubbornness. And so I shall do as Stubbornness does and stand strong my my first opinion. I shall stay by the side of you humans and help you fight off any threat of evil homunculi. But you better be pretty darn grateful for it.
