Faunus could have went two ways-  half-animal people for sexual appeal or actual people who are discriminated and don't flaunt these characteristics. Thank God Monty chose option 2, because now Faunus are interesting, but there's still a problem. How do you make an OC a Faunus which is both not mainstream but is also not overpowered. Let me tell you now- it's very freaking difficult. But all in all, Monty made a good concept into an excellent thing overall.

I'm very new to the Wikia, so I haven't currently submitted my OCs. However, I was planning for an OC named Ilex Aqua to be a Faunus- I actually cracked down and did some research to find an animal to suit his personality, and I think an OC can really work if the animal reflects their personality and fighting style very well. If you do this correctly, I won't find it boring, even if it is a "normal" Faunus like a cat or rabbit.

Hate to go with the crowd but DEFINITELY wolf faunus. Since the "lone wolf" personality clique is so desirable the whole Faunus-thing reflects it by people making lone-wolf characters who are actually half wolf. It's pretty darn annoying.
