...Maybe it just works like Mules, where you get the best of both but the chromosomes for reproduction get all kinds of fudged up so they can't do the do?

That sounds legit. Awesome genes, 'cept can't reproduce. QQ The ultimate birth control.

[ERode]

Except, you know, then they'll just clone them and have 20,000 disposable OP Mules on their side.

Heck, I can imagine the Dust Mining companies doing something like that. Having their mine shaft supervisors impregnate all the faunus woman so they can secretly raise a work force of Mules. So dastardly...just like something the Schnee Dust Company would do.

I'm thinking either that, or it just being a 50/50 chance of the child being faunus or human.
If it's something weird like being quarter animal, then that makes no sense from a biological standpoint.

...You honestly need to stop reading dem doujins mang. They ain't good for your mental health.

What has been read can not be unread.

That being said...genetically, is that even possible? I mean, it's like a human trying to impregnate an ape. That 2% difference in genetic code makes it pretty much impossible.

Well, going back to donkeys and horses, they are genetically compatible due to similar enough genes, so if we were to draw a real world comparison aside from that, we'd be pretty hard-pressed. Think of it like how Superman can have kids, even though he's not anywhere close to being human in terms of genetic code. It works because the setting says it does, and unless Monty gets into the nitty gritty, we might never get a definite answer.

Superman has like super.... you know what? I'm not gonna go down that road. @_@

How were the faunus even made? Like... are they technically mules in a sense?

[ERode]

EXACTLY. That's why Arara's so suspicious about them. Humans and Grimm were both mentioned in the Creation Myth, so what the hell are Faunus? Just another evolution of an animal? Except why is there such a massive variety of them?

Essentially, she sees them as sub-human mutants, or some advanced ape. Maybe Faunus were originally the creation of humans, which was why humans thought themselves as superior the first place.

...Seriously, if they were mules, then that means that beastiality was not only a thing, IT WAS A BIG THING! Get your head outta the gutter with that.
Now, a more likely thing was that they were some sorta offshoot from human evolution, likely taking on traits of certain animals through evolutionary magic that DOES NOT work that way. But hey, it's Monty's setting, the beautiful thing about settings is that you could make air into jelly and it'd be alright as long as they breath jelly. Moral of the story: DAMMIT MONTY, LEARN TO BIOLOGY!

Monty needs to clarify where they come from. D:

Maybe they were like... here before the humans and Grimm and were like hidden until a certain interval in time and humans were just like, "Amg, wat is dis? Subjugate and enslave!"

Dances With Wolves + Alien + CGI Display/Showcase = Avatar

Monty was probably just like Animals + Humans + Anime Stereotypes + Japanese Male Libido = Faunus ( I don't know why I compared this to Avatar, since it isn't even remotely relateable, especially since they probably hired people to do all the biology bits. @_@ )

[The Irish Tree]

...What I REALLY wanna know is if there's a faunus for every animal imaginable...IF THERE'S A MANTIS SHRIMP KIND, WE'RE FUCKING DED. D.E.D. DED
YOU SEE THIS ROCK? HE COULD THROW IT THROUGH YOUR BRAIN MANG.
But I mainly ask because cat faunus are a thing, but do they come in all the different species of cats? Callico, Persian, other cat types? MONTY, WE DEMAND ANSWERS, WHICH IS WHY WE DON'T ASK!

[ERode]

That doesn't make much sense though, because that would mean that Faunus were complete retards incapable of making their own kingdoms. In the Creation Myth, it stated that Humans were made from dust, and Grimm then followed. Then, HUMANS made their kingdoms...and where exactly were the faunus in all this?

What if...they were originally Grimm who have regained their soul (think about how all the Grimm are based off animals)...THE MYSTERY IS REAL.

Y'all need to stop thinkin of banging someone with cat ears.

...Dat akward moment where I have no idea what to have Tarkus do aside from walk in a straight line. Morella was looking at Isaac right? I'm just checking if Nef is using his forbidden GM power of .

On page 35 now, just saying that I was going from his CS, a militant and intense guy with a "cold appearance," thought I could draw some points of similarity. :P

Gonna read up through the OOC now, in case there's any important points to address 'tween the children's card games. XP

ERode said
Well...Asuras hasn't posted a CS, if I remember correctly...XDAnd mind explaining the first map? Is there a public map drawing thing we can use, so we don't have to constantly upload new revisions of the map?

Map of the first test, ER? I'll upload that once we get to the next day. Again, it is a masterpiece that rivals the seminal artists of color and form, and I won't tolerate ANY critiques of it, as it's my magnum opus. But, yeah, if you mean the first test map, I'll post it once we get past the first day, which was a huge hurdle last time. XD

I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean. Explain?(I sent you my requests by PM, but to recreate them here for anyone who might be curious (#totallynotegotistical), I'd prefer a team that Alistair's on to have either Kiora, Arara or KK)

In the show, the two pairs of each team head to a location with four trophies to be a team. Do we want to do something similar? Or have each person find their own trophy in a random location, and then gather with their team? (If that's clear)

I doubt they come in that kind of sense. Mainly because most cat breeds or crossbreeds/muts and were bred specifically and for whatever purpose people deemed necessary. It'd be weird to have cat breeds relate to faunus 'cause that would rely on a lot of regulated breeding in general to get a "purebred" mut.

OMG

That Grimm thing makes so much sense. Even if that means Arara would distrust them even more.

Goddamn, If I saw a Grimm like this:

I'd probably wonder if it was seriously trying to fight me. I mean, Seriously, dat face man.

AND THIS IS THE PART WHERE I RUN AWAY AND KEEP MY APENDIGES WHERE THEY ARE!

[ERode]

BUT IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!

We know that Grimm are attracted to things with souls, and would aim to eat humans. If we then extrapolate and assume Grimm gain their animal motifs because that's what they've consumed before (lesser souls in the form of animals/wildlife) then the Faunus could have popped up shortly before the advent of Dust, in the form of super-strong Grimm who have eaten enough humans to gain a soul of their own and a human-ish form!

[ERode]

And actually, it wouldn't make Arara distrust them more, considering I doubt anyone ACTUALLY knows the origins, if that's what they are. So she'll never know~
