Yeah, what I was trying to say was that he is pretty much a tool for that creepy guy who was in the middle. Kind of like the Arbiter for Prophets if you've played Halo.

Re-reading it seems I suggested Adam was in charge.... Which is not what I meant.

The thing about a Faunus government seems to be that the Faunus would have an origin of birth. However, based on Neon Katt, Blake, and Sun... Faunus are spread out making them feel more like a sub species of human... Kind of like how we have Asians, Caucasians, or Africans. The Faunus just opens up an additional window next to normal human.

The War against Faunus that was noted in Season One may imply they used to be an isolated race on the world of Remnant... But I figure it is more like a civil war between ethnicities.

Regardless, representation with Ozpin hardly helps since the group is allegedly a secret society of sorts. This could boil down to a Xenogears like angle now that you say that. What if them being spread out and divided like "minorities" on our planet was set in motion on purpose so they'd never be able to come together and make real change to the status quo?

I wanted them to have a rep with Qzpin because if Ozpin's faction is fighting the real evils and making real world change, a Faunus voice should be heard in those decisions too. Secret society or not. Especially since Ozpin's people seem to be way more tolerant too.

I don't think there was really a separation. Faunus seem to have equal rights as every other citizen. Blake and Velvet had seemingly no trouble entering into Beacon. The only issue is that they face racial discrimination. Which from what we have seen, is purely based on individual accounts as opposed to legal ones. I mean, we even have Neon attending an Atlas Academy which is a military state when it comes to training it's Huntsmen/Huntresses. Which implies the Atlas government has no legal restrictions on Faunus on regards to Hunting.

While it would be nice go have a Faunus on the team to say "Diversity yay," it truly isn't needed. This is because Ozpin already views Faunus as equals. Evidence to the matter being his talk with Blake.
