Yeah, but I don't think they're immortal, like vampires or anything. They probably have more of a chance of living longer, but not by THAT much. OK, let's put this to theory- in Vytal, the average human dies at, for example, eighty, and the average Faunus dies at ninety, but it's possible for a Faunus to die at eighty and a human to live to ninety. Or, maybe since animals don't show age like humans, Faunus just, on average, appear younger. But since age in animation is generally hard to tell, I doubt that would be a concept, but hey, anything's possible in RWBY. That's my theory, anyway. It's kind of opposite though, since animals (unless you count animals such as giant turtles) generally live shorter than humans, but since Faunus are portrayed as sort of an elite human, having all these extra abilities, it still makes the living-longer thing work.
