Yes, I realize that about Junior. I merely forgot, now I could still argue that Glynda and Port are not colors either but I'm not as hung up on that part. I've thought of ways to amend the color rule with out doing anything drastic to change the characters I have already established.

Now in regards to the Half-Breed thing, while they are not a race I still find that it is a term that describes children born owith Faunus and Human in their ancestry. While Ace would be primarly labeled as Human by face value I think it would be like comparing a Faunus and Human relationship to that of an African American and White union before we became more accepting of such ideas. To say the least people used to find it disgusting on either side. That's basically the concept I was trying to portray by labeling him as Half-Breed.

I know rules are made for a reason but for any good list fo rules for an openly creative process such as character design, there should be some flexibility allowed if one or two things do not 100% match up to those rules as long as they are explained reasonably and do not overstep too many boundaries. That's my opinion at least. Now if someone blatently made a character that did not even try to follow most of the rules then yes there is a problem with that.

I'm not saying that you are wrong in anyway. I just believe that being so restricted that if one or two things don't fall into line a character would be rejected is a little dscouraging. I'm proud of my characters for what I made them to be and I know others feel similarly to me, whether it be about my characters or their own. I'm not changing them because that would take away from what I was trying to do and hey, I'm doing it for fun and there will be times when rules will be bent for the sake ofcreativity.

I thank you for your post.
