Appearance I've found myself partial to this one whenever I look for an image.

Personality – Roy Mustang is a man of extremes. He is a cautious tactician, adept at strategy and manipulation. He will go to great lengths to achieve his goals and will not shirk from a challenge. However, when his emotions get the better of him, they can sabotage him in a major way. Mustang's confidence can lead him to underestimate his opponents, and despite his skill at manipulation he find himself goaded if the right nerves are struck.
At first glance, Mustang is a suave up-and-coming soldier. A lady's man and hero heading towards greatness. But there are cracks in the façade, and when the broken man inside shows through it can be disillusioning for all involved.

Possible Reactions – Mustang prefers to consider situations carefully, stacking the deck as best as he can before he makes his move. He will rarely be the first person to throw a punch but is likely to step in to defend someone clearly outmatched, even if he himself isn't able to change the situation. Mustang looks for leverage to use on allies who he does not yet consider loyal, though he will die defending those he considers under his protection. Mustang will "play the game" with those whose tendencies run darker but will not compromise his morals to do so. A part of him enjoys fighting people he can consider "monsters" as it allows him to oppose them without his nagging conscience.

Relationships – None so far.

‘Combat’ Style – Mustang's behavior will depend on the situation. If he's thinking clearly, then he will be strategic about his engagements. He will retreat if the battle is going against him and seek out a tactical move to help in the next conflict. However, his behavior as part of a team is a bit more predictable. Mustang is not above using people as tools but is quite loyal to those he trusts and will hold himself responsible for people he considers part of his "team". As such his actions in combat will be noticeably influenced by his desire to protect them, even at the expense of his own life.

Eligible Abilities – Without his flame Alchemy, Mustang is just a soldier, though he is a veteran with a decent amount of combat experience to his name.

Military Training:
Endurance Rank 1 (100)
Total Cost: 100

Though he is a normal human, Mustang is a military trained veteran who’s seen several years of combat. As such he can power through pain and injury far better than the average civilian.

-Military Officer:
Athletics (Soldier) Rank 4 (200)
Social (Officer) Rank 5 (250)
Total cost: (100 + 200 + 250) 450

Mustang has been part of the military for years, and while the officer’s life sees far less direct action than that of the rank-and-file, he is accustomed both to the physical rigors of military work and the proper decorum and professionalism to accord an official.

Extra – I've pulled the character from earlier in his timeline in order to better integrate him with the Crossroads, so he's currently a Major, not a Colonel.
