Ah... I think you won't like my Faunus, in that case.

1. Personally, I think the Faunus are cool. It's a nice change to include a moral dilemma about racism in the show, and showcase how it can affect Team RWBY. Also, I am against Faunus degredation.

In fact, as boring and epileptic as it sounds, I get the feeling that the Faunus are actually superior to humans. They have a combination of animal and human traits, the strengths of both, the weaknesses of neither. For instance, rats could potentially survive a fall from a five-storey building. For perspective, that would be like a human surviving a fall from a 100-storey skyscraper.

Of course, a Faunus with the traits of a rat might not necessarily survive that, but they would be able to survive a fall that would kill a human. Of course, this is just in theory.

2. My Faunus, Ezekial Calias, was designed as an insectoid Faunus, but as it was rejected multiple times because of this, I had to change it to a bear Faunus. Personally, Zeke is, and always will be, an insect Faunus. But until there is official confirmation of an insectoid Faunus, he's staying as a bear, much to my displeasure.

3. As for overused Faunus traits... hmm, that's a tough one. From what I've heard, wolf Faunus's are overused like crazy. People need to think of other animals. Wolves are cool, but they get boring VERY quickly.
