Again, as I said, it's possible that Faunus traits began as a random mutation but then only continued to show up in those that resulted from pairings that included a Faunus. This would make their being outnumbered explainable as saying that they became shunned as a taboo (both their existence and the act of a human pairing with a Faunus). RT confirmed that humans and Faunus can interbreed which means they most likely already have. An aspect left uncertain at the moment is whether the Faunus gene does have a dominant counterpart (a gene so preeminent that the Faunus traits do not show up in the offspring). If there is such a thing, it could confirm the theory that either Weiss or Roman are actually Faunus born (but simply lack the usual traits). However, for this miracle gene to overpower the Faunus gene, I imagine the latter would have to come only from one parent. Unless the child was genetically engineered... which is just silly.

What was I talking about?
