Because RP always seems to result in some Making Stuff Up!

• Armstrong only managed to recover from his breakdown during the Ishbal war because of the support of his family. Yes, Olivia just thought he was just weak and wasn't much help at all - but his parents and younger sister Catherine in particular helped him get back to normal.
  


• Armstrong is not heterosexual. He's not homosexual either - he's asexual. Armstrong just has no desire or drive for romantic relationships.
  


• However, he would marry if his parents requested it of him, for the sake of the continuation of the Armstrong family. But he would let the woman know how he is beforehand, and love her as a dear friend.
  


• His family and ancestry is his pride not just out of a sense that "nobility is better". Armstrong does not believe that those of higher class are better. Rather, Armstrong takes pride in his ancestry because the Armstrong family has a long history of using their strength, power, and influence in order to protect and better the lives of the people of Amestris, regardless of their social station or race.
  


• Armstrong plays the violin. With techniques handed down through the generations!. How exactly he does this when he is so much bigger than the instrument is unclear.
  


• Armstrong will never, ever, ever acknowledge his sparkles. Even when other people bring them up. In the FMA universe, they have no explanation. There are just there.
  


• But in Death City? There is, in fact, a reason for the sparkles. They are the manifestation of his soul ability. (He's still not going to acknowledge them, though)
  


• Armstrong is like a dedicated shipper. Except he ships real *ahem* people. And he ships Ash and Laura. He has already started planning their wedding. There will be pink. And frills. And he will arrange all of the flowers and bake the cake himself.
  


• Armstrong bakes. And he bakes perfectly. You know the kind of cupcakes and cakes and cookies that you see in cooking magazines? The ones that look like an artwork? That is how he bakes.
  


• Armstrong has never expected to have children, but he has found that Laura has become like a daughter to him. He wants her to be happy and healthy, and he will do everything in his power to help her. And if the people who abused her so horribly when she was a child arrive in Death City, he will bring down all of his fury upon them.
