homunculus

A homunculus is a failed attempt to revive a dead person using the art of alchemy in the anime Full Metal Alchemist. (This practice is often referred to as human transmutation, and is forbidden.) There is some ambiguity whether or not a homunculus is truly a reincarnation of that person. A homunculus is not a human and supposedly has no soul. However, Lust and other homunculi are able to recall events from their past life.

Homunculi are nearly indestructible and do not age. In addition, each one has a special, deadly power. For example, Lust can extend her nails to use as a deadly weapon and Sloth can transform from a solid state to that of a liquid. Homunculi become paralyzed when in close proximity to parts of their former bodies. The resulting paralysis or loss of consciousness often aids in one of the few ways to kill a homunculus: sealing via an alchemical array. This causes the homunculus to expel the red stones which fuel them, and results in the body of the homunculus dissolving and/or weakening. Most homunculi are incapable of using alchemy, but there are exceptions.

Dante's homunculi are all named after the seven deadly sins.

Hooman

The actual definition is that it's a name for some Persian men, but it's now more commonly used as a substitute for human, used by animals like dogs, cats, and apparently parrots. It's actually a very cute way of saying it, especially if you use it with a cute voice.

Zis hooman be useless - he will not give meh le cookies.

India(the hooman)

Literally the most reliable, honest, strong-willed, caring friend you will ever have. Girls with the name India may come off as weird or intimidating at first, but once you get to know them, you'll love them forever. India is always there for you and ready to support and defend you and your decisions. She's headstrong and organized, and may be bossy or judgement at times, but she is always looking out for you and making sure your happy. She's probably a Libra and will buy you really nice gifts as a way of expressing her love. She's really smart and will probably be hella rich one day and invite you to her fancy mansion. India's picky with just about everything, but when she's chosen something, it's usually the right chose. If an India chooses you be grateful. She's the best person you'll ever meet.

Person 1: What's a word that means stunningly beautiful and amazing?

Person 2: India(the hooman).
