So, like a Blake's Human counterpart?

Anyway, it's a possibility. He could be the victim, or he could be the perpetrator; But I certianly get the impression that he's been through something rough.

(Current topic) In order for Blades to be a half-Faunus, there would have to be half-Faunus. It could be the case that either Human or Faunus traits are genetically dominant - In fact, we could be the same species, and Faunus traits could just be (recessive or dominant, take your pick), kind of like eye color.

Anyway, assuming that we are different species, it's entirely possible that "All children born to a Faunus/Human couple are (Faunus or Human, take your pick)". Or, of course, we could be incompatible. Genetics is a weird science, you know.

If there are half-faunus, how do they differ from their parents? Are they unable to reproduce, like mules? Can a child only be produced from a male faunus/female human relationship, or vice versa? How are they treated in society? Is RT even going to go into this? Am I thinking way too much about this? (yes)

Point is, they already have WAY too much to cover without adding a Half-Faunus plot-arc into the mix, at least for now. You could have a non fauns and a fauns reproduce, it's exactly like breeding dogs you can mix different breeds until you get what you want but I highly doubt that any epsiode would even talk about it unless they run out of ideas.
