History Fanfic / BoopTheSnootForCriticalDamage

* VillainTeamUp: Jack confirms that he's working with Salem. The Grimm queen has apparently offered him something in exchange for his services.

* CrazySane: Pretty much everyone except Jaune, Ironwood, Ozpin, Roland, and Angel. Damn near everyone on Pandora has at least a few screws loose (or in Blake's case, many screws loose), but being absolutely batshit nuts is really the best way to last as long as you can in a world where everything is trying to kill you in the most hilariously over-the-top of ways.

** After being given an Insta-Youth, Maria is restored to her physical prime at twenty years old.

* DirtyCoward: Jacques, for all his bluster, is a massive coward who'll do anything to get out of a bind. He surrendered to Handsome Jack the ''second'' his outer fleets were wiped out just to save his own skin.

* AbledInTheAdaptation:
** Willow gets an Insta-Youth that restores her physically and she gets most of the alcohol out of her system alongside having a new high-tech liver, letting her be sober for the first time in years.
** Angel doesn't have a debilitating need to be constantly injected with Eridium to stay alive, which lets her actually escape from Jack's control without dying.

The story has not been updated since October 16 of 2020. According to the author, it's currently on hiatus.

* AdaptationNameChange: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Claptrap usually always went by Claptrap or [=CL4-TP=]. Here, thanks to being the unit that started the robolution, he goes by Claptrap Prime, though he still gets called Claptrap for short.

** Penny's age in canon is unknown, but she's at the very least implied to be YoungerThanTheyLook. Here, she's over fifty years old.

* WantedPoster: All members of teams RWBY and JNPR have this. Each of them also have varying bounties placed on their heads, with Blake, Pyrrha, and Ruby having the highest bounties of all of them (Blake for being a terrorist, Pyrrha for breach of contract, and Ruby for being a Siren).

* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Ruby is the foolish sibling to Yang's responsible sibling ([[DownplayedTrope which isn't saying much]]). Ruby is a lot more ditzy and reckless than Yang, who, while definitely not what you'd call a responsible adult, has the sense to stay the Hell away from Pandora and actively warn her sister not to go near it.

According to the author, the story is currently on hiatus.

* HandicappedBadass: Maria may be a blind woman who needs robo-eyes to see, but she's pretty fucking surgical with a shotgun. Even after getting an Insta-Youth, she doesn't regrow her eyes, so she's still blind.

* TheDreaded: Neo by a country mile. People are ordered to kill her on sight and if that fails, ''get the fuck out''.

* DirtyCoward: Jacques, for all his bluster, is a massive coward. He surrendered to Handsome Jack the ''second'' his outer fleets were wiped out just to save his own skin.

* SociallyAwkwardHero: If you thought Ruby was this, '''VideoGame/YouDontKnowJack'''...'s daughter Angel. She actually manages to make Ruby look like a social savant. Even her character subtitles call her "The Universe's Most Awkward Siren."

A FusionFic written by The_Mad_Dragon (FF.Net profile [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/582838/The-Mad-Dragon here]]), who is also the author of ''Fanfic/POWERRANGERSOwlForce''. 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.

* TheTeamBenefactor: Angel is the primary head of Guardian Angels Incorporated, financing and sending Team RWBY to do various jobs given by Pandoran citizens. She later applies as this to Team JNPR as well.

Currently, the story is on hiatus.

* DenserAndWackier: The humor and mayhem of ''Borderlands'' makes the story much more goofy and over-the-top than canon ''RWBY'' ever was. Almost every character, barring Jaune and Ren, has a few screws loose and BlackComedy is rife in the setting.

* CutLexLuthorACheck: Practically lampshaded in-universe through narration. Insta-Youths are a miracle technology that can reverse the aging process and return a body back to its physical prime, but those high in the corporate ladder refuse to share it with anyone they deem beneath them (i.e. anyone not themselves).

** One of the games Gaige has is "Exploitation of Duty 37", which is one to ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty''.

** Bandits are often fighting alongside/bonded with Grimm due to being connected via their masks. They're also amplified because of them.

** Gortys is also a creation of Pietro, making her Penny's sister.

* AlienBlood: Bandits, no longer being human due to the Grimm masks forced on them, instead bleed a [[BlackBlood black, oil-like substance]] that smells of rot and decay.
