* SanitySlippage: The two years spent on the Screaming Death Island has left Blake with a pretty fractured psyche. She tends to lapse into monologues, has NoSenseOfPersonalSpace, and also talks to herself (or whatever corpse is nearby) thanks to having no one but murderous animals and plants as company.

Often times leaving the child to develop a bitter resentment, and fantasize about his brutal murder day after day, night after night. And then the child gets out from under his thumb, and plans her revenge in even more graphic detail.

Want to know what happens when you take the high-octane action of ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' and mix it in with the high-octane BlackComedy violence of ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}''? The answer: ''[[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/boop-the-snoot-for-critical-damage-the-rwbyxborderlands-fusion.666379/ Boop the Snoot for Critical Damage!]]''
A FusionFic written by The Mad Dragon. The story chronicles a very different team RWBY as they all form a team on Pandora, working with a Siren named Angel to uncover the mysteries behind the legendary Vault and ensure that Handsome Jack never gains such power. Along the way, mass mayhem, guns, loot, and lots and lots of bodies ensues.
Story can be also be found [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/17674832/chapters/41688416 here]] and [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13299123/1/Boop-the-Snoot-for-Critical-Damage here]].

** Blake wound up getting left on the "Screaming Death Islands" after her break up with Adam, causing her a lot of issues.
* AdaptationalBadass: In addition to their Aura and weapons, characters from ''RWBY'' get the ''Borderlands'' treatment and are way more badass than their canon selves, which is combined with AgeLift. Vice versa for major ''Borderlands'' characters as they now have Aura and semblance.
** Team RWBY as a whole are far more combat savvy than they were in the series. Ruby is a Siren with all the power that implies, Yang is a bounty hunter, Weiss has a combat drone, and Blake is far more effective on her own to the point of surviving two years on a murderous island by herself.
** Jaune is a native to Pandora, and has survived living there his entire life. He's still a ButtMonkey, but he's a much better fighter.
** Pyrrha, in addition to being a champion tournament fighter, also has multiple cybernetic enhancements as well.
