Shadow at Morning wrote: Mercen-X: Can you point me in the direction of those arguments? IIRC, it was an argument mostly between Zolnir and myself in the previous Where from Here thread. I believe that Zolnir said that most people don't have their Aura unlocked otherwise everyone would be Hunters. I said that it's possible people have their Aura unlocked but not everyone has a Semblance (or at least not a useful one) just like how the X-Gene sometimes grants useless mutations (mere deformities). I also suggested that Faunus characteristics might be a secondary form of Semblance, a more severe side effect of Dust infusion (again, my suggestion as to why the practice has ceased) as people likely inherit a combination Semblance from both parents. It's likely that the first Faunus had very similar Semblance abilities. Their children would then inherit different Faunus characteristics and likely there were those who had children with humans and so their semblances would change as well.
