[edit] Personality
Hughes has been known to be just shy of hyperactive and maniacal in dealing with others, especially friends. He tends to attack his friends with dramatic stories about his family and how wonderful they are whether he sees them in person or on the phone. Usually this flamboyant nature is a ruse to ensure possible eavesdroppers are not paying attention so he can relay more important information to others. Even though he seems to a very aloof and jokster type of guy, when potentially dangerous situations occur, he is a serious and loyal ally.
Hughes has a wife and daughter back home and does not hesitate to boast to any and all within earshot about how great his family is. He also uses many of his stories as a way to keep vital information private to the receipient of his information. Should anyone close to him needs advice or help, Maes is happy to help out.
[edit] Powers and Abilities
Hughes is a military officer. Even though he's not usually seen on the front lines, he keeps himself in top physical condition in case he does get into a fight. Other than physical capabilities, he is proficient in throwing knives, which he keeps in loops of his belt.
[edit] History
A member of the Amestris Military, Maes joined the military and became friends with a state Alchemist by the name of Roy Mustang. While Mustang took a more proactive approach to the military, Hughes chose more of a desk job where he would not be on the front lines. Early in their careers, Mustang was involved with the Ishballan War and upon his return home, Hughes was the friend to coerce Roy to become Furher in order to make up for his transgressions in the War.
Several years after the Ishballan incident, Hughes came across two boys during a mission by train, Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric. The brothers assisted the Military in apprehending a kidnapper. Maes befriended the boys as Ed became a State Alchemist under Mustang's jurisdiction and assisted Edward in his research on the Philosopher's Stone. In the process of assisting the Elric's in their quest, Maes discovered corruption in the Military ranks all the way up to the current Furher, King Bradley. In his attempts to contact Roy Mustang to forewarn him of the Furher's true identity, he was murdered by a homunculis, leaving his wife and daughter behind.
[edit] Relationships
Sora - Maes thinks Sora is the BOMB. He's a little like a subsitute child for Maes, if that makes any sense. The boy acts as if he hasn't been through the trials like the Elrics, and that touches a part of Maes. He really doesn't blame Sora for any transgressions between himself and Rinali; He's more upset about the fact he tried to make a little bit of his past life here, and it blew up in his face.
River Tam - Maes doesn't know what to do with her! He doesn't know that her brother is here and can hopefully keep her in line. He's not used to real crazy.
Roxas - To Maes, Rox is a lot like Ed, only he seems ... reachable. He only wants to make certain that whatever horrors Roxas may have to carry doesn't weigh him down. And if he can ruffle Roxas' feathers every once in a while, he's all for it.
Simon Tam - When he met Simon it was in a bout of bully pushing in a rush and he was more focused on getting people safe than anything else. However, he was relieved to know there was a medic present able to help the injured. He'll have to thank Simon later.
