Superman has like super.... you know what? I'm not gonna go down that road. @_@How were the faunus even made? Like... are they technically mules in a sense?

...Seriously, if they were mules, then that means that beastiality was not only a thing, IT WAS A BIG THING! Get your head outta the gutter with that.
Now, a more likely thing was that they were some sorta offshoot from human evolution, likely taking on traits of certain animals through evolutionary magic that DOES NOT work that way. But hey, it's Monty's setting, the beautiful thing about settings is that you could make air into jelly and it'd be alright as long as they breath jelly. Moral of the story: DAMMIT MONTY, LEARN TO BIOLOGY!

What has been read can not be unread.That being said...genetically, is that even possible? I mean, it's like a human trying to impregnate an ape. That 2% difference in genetic code makes it pretty much impossible.

Well, going back to donkeys and horses, they are genetically compatible due to similar enough genes, so if we were to draw a real world comparison aside from that, we'd be pretty hard-pressed. Think of it like how Superman can have kids, even though he's not anywhere close to being human in terms of genetic code. It works because the setting says it does, and unless Monty gets into the nitty gritty, we might never get a definite answer.

Except, you know, then they'll just clone them and have 20,000 disposable OP Mules on their side.Heck, I can imagine the Dust Mining companies doing something like that. Having their mine shaft supervisors impregnate all the faunus woman so they can secretly raise a work force of Mules. So dastardly...just like something the Schnee Dust Company would do.

...You honestly need to stop reading dem doujins mang. They ain't good for your mental health.

That sounds legit. Awesome genes, 'cept can't reproduce. QQ The ultimate birth control.

I'm thinking either that, or it just being a 50/50 chance of the child being faunus or human.
If it's something weird like being quarter animal, then that makes no sense from a biological standpoint.

Fairy Tail - How Will You Live Your 'Fairy Tail'?

Well, Gen's gonna give Aura a hand with the send-off. Hope she likes getting flung in the air with chains.

Fairy Tail - How Will You Live Your 'Fairy Tail'?

Gen's tears finally ran dry, all that remained were the stains on the black dress-shirt he'd worn, his fist still raised, he listened to some of the others bicker, some yelling about how improper it was to do something like this at a funeral, and he found it difficult to fault their logic. He heard another with an excellent point as well, he believed the man's name was Zero, he hadn't talked extensively with him before, but he couldn't find fault in his words either. He didn't care what was said now, he'd calmed down and held his head higher, though he did still avert looking people in the eyes. Hearing Aura's idea to give them a proper sendoff, Gen looked down at the mark on his forearm, the rain trickling down his bare skin and the sleeve of his shirt, droplets fell upon it, and he remembered the day he'd joined that Makarov welcomed him with open arms, even though he didn't respect Fairy Tail any more than any other guild. The fact that the death of a few members could move him so drew some strange compulsion in him, and he suddenly walked over to where Aura stood beside the stand.

He turned to face Aura and in a rather hoarse, dry sounding voice said: "If you can't do it alone...I'll help. They deserve at least that much..." He'd calmed down now, and he was actively using his Ripple magic to breath, regaining his composure.

...Maybe it just works like Mules, where you get the best of both but the chromosomes for reproduction get all kinds of fudged up so they can't do the do?

Oh yeah, I've been wondering....What exactly happens when a human and a faunus have babies?

Maybe it just becomes a recessive trait, wherein it's just as random as hair color or eye color. At least, that's how I'd imagine it works, Idk how being a quarter animal would even work.

I've been waiting to bust this one out...

Have fun watchng them fail?

FAILURE IS NEVER A CONSIDERATION OR ENJOYABLE THING TO SEE! The desire to see one's comrades fail in a desperate act to save their friend...
