LiveandSound-

That is what I implied as well, but it's hard to differentiate between "man" and "human" when, in our world, they refer to the same thing, and also because in other fantasy works, such as Tolkien, "man" can refer to just humans, or humans and Hobbits, and what have you. It's a word that potentially needs to be defined in the context of RWBY, when word usage implies very important things about the history of two basically similar groups of people.

How so? I was questioning the usage of the term "man" and whether it implies the term "human" (its root word), or "human and faunus". It's especially confusing when you take into account that the words "human" and "faunus" are shown to be not synonomous.
