erikhet replied to your post “RWBY Remarks: What if...the reason Adam wears a mask is to hide his...”

I actually really REALLY like this theory (theories?). My only hesitance is that "human eyes" doesn't make too much sense. I mean, I'm pretty sure the only Faunus we've seen without human-like eyes is Blake to an extent (and other cat faunus). So I'm not entirely sure what "human eyes" would look like that would distinguish them from Faunus ones, or make it clear Adam is a half breed. This theory does kinda go with a headcannon of mine though, so thanks for that.

Squiggles Answers:

Well when I say ‘normal human eyes’ I meant it in the context of, if Adam did have a parent who is human then he would have inherited his eyes from them. Meaning whatever distinct eye shape or colour his human parent had, that would have been the only part that Adam would have gained from his human parent while predominantly getting most of his Faunus features from his Faunus parent.

I understand that saying a Faunus with ‘normal human eyes’ does indeed sound nonsensical since the Faunus and human characters in RWBY don’t share any distinct difference in their eyes, even down to eye colour. It’s a darn shame too though as it would have been another nice way for the CRWBY to distinguish the designs for the Faunus from their human counterparts beyond just their animalistic traits. But I digress.

I guess I was more going for a psychologically driven reason for Adam to disguise his eyes which is what inspired my theory of him harbouring hatred towards man because he was originally abused by a human who was his parent.

As I said in my remark, if Adam did share the same eyes as his human parent, it would make sense for him to want to hide his eyes in that sense since if he were to fully embrace his Faunus side and lead his people towards a new age where they would reign, he needed to disguise the part of him that he knew wasn’t Faunus---the one part of him he got from that human of his.

If Adam shares the same eyes as his human parent---then it would be a lingering reminder of that one part of himself he can’t erase. Even if he were to slaughter and/or oppress every man in Remnant, he wouldn’t be able to relieve himself of or run away from the one part of him that he got from that person. His own human monster that haunts him from his past and who he sees every time he looks at himself in the mirror without the mask. It would also be interesting if appart from his eyes Adam also resembles his human parent.

Like let’s say Adam’s human monster was his own father who tormented him and his mother; who was a bull Faunus just like Adam calling them both ‘devils’ for their horns. If Adam is revealed to also have an abusive father then I can imagine it being something he and Mercury Black can essentially bond over. I have a small headcanon that Adam is going to catch up with Mercury, Emerald and Hazel and the four will end up begrudgingly travelling and working together as a means of survival out on the run in Mistral.

Since the Triumph of Haven Academy and their failure at stopping the heroes from acquiring the Relic of Knowledge, I doubt Hazel will want to return to Salem empty handed especially after what happened to Tyrian. Y’know since all the characters who fail Salem either end up killed off like Leo or disappear into obscurity to possibly become live playthings for Watts to experiment on.

And I definitely don’t expect Emerald and Mercury to want to go back to Salem either; not without Cinder Fall. With Cinder being gone, these two longstanding child puppets are now free and in need of someone else to guide them. For what it’s worth, I’m hoping it’s Hazel leading into a potential redemption arc for all three characters. As a matter of fact, along with the heroes’ journey towards Atlas, I’m actually hoping that V6 also gives us a side plot involving the villains---Adam Taurus, Hazel Rainart, Emerald Sustrai and Mercury Black. Y’know, a villains’ journey for lack of a better term. But that’s just me.

Going back with Adam, I really love the idea of Adam secretly having human heritage because it can help speak levels as to why he’s the way he is especially if it was also revealed that his human parent was racist towards the Faunus and extremely abusive to him because he, despite being his offspring, was a Faunus.

I’m happy to hear you really, REALLY loved the theory @erikhet. Also happy to hear it helped with your own headcanon. What’s your headcanon for Adam if you don’t mind me asking?
