Day 2: Books Evoking the Seven Deadly Sins (Irish Punk)

Fullmetal Alchemist is a manga series which follows two brothers who live in a world where alchemy is possible. The whole series is fantastic and the anime (both versions, though I prefer the second) is as well.

The books also feature a villianous group of homunculi, which are created humans. In the series they correspond the the seven deadly sins. The reason is super spoilerly.

They exemplify their attribute in different ways. Lust takes the form of a beautiful woman. Gluttony can eat anything and is always hungry. Envy can take different forms.

My personal favorite, though it's really no contest is Greed, who is so greedy he goes off by himself and can create a shield by rearranging the carbon atoms on his body. He's also hilarous.
