* ConvectionSchmonvection: Averted in "DNMC: Cyan." When Mearth had Cyena surrounded by fire, Cyena hid herself in a water bubble to keep from getting burned. However, the heat from the fire was still enough to make the water boil.



* MixAndMatchWeapon: Just like in the official canon, there are weapons here that are a combination between two or three weapons. Mak's weapon, ''Perfect Storm'', stands out by downplaying this trope being a cross between a gun and... another gun[[note]] Doesn't make it any less dangerous, mind you.[[/note]]

The story centers around four young adults with unique powers and weapons, similar to the original story's setup. So far, it consists of four short stories [[ADayInTheLimelight centered around them individually]] collectively referred to as ''DNMC: Colors'' due to their idiosyncratic naming convention. However, the overall story so far has a noticeably darker tone than the original, the most recent entry involving a {{cult}} that one of the main characters has inexplicable ties to.

There are also quite a few people who were never given a name, with D'Arg's master, Nara's attackers[[note]] minus Paul[[/note]], and Mak's client being the most significant so far.

''DNMC'' (pronounced "dynamic") is a ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' {{fanfic}} by Tropers/KoffingMugg, available on [=DeviantArt=] [[https://www.deviantart.com/koffingmugg/gallery/61339121/dnmc-a-rwby-fanfic here]].

!!''DNMC'' provides examples of:

* AllThereInTheManual: The series has some character bios attached to it that give info that wasn't portrayed in the official stories, some of it bordering on spoilery.
* AmazonianBeauty: Nara's six-foot-nine, muscular, and wears and outfit that [[BareYourMidriff bares her midriff]]. She's also not avert to tearing you ''several'' new ones.
* {{BFS}}: D'Arg sports two that double as [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter shotguns]] and that he can [[FlamingSword light on fire]] [[BloodMagic using his Dust-infused blood]].
* BountyHunter: Mak was introduced in his story as one.
* TheCameo: Already, a handful of characters from the canon series made brief ([[SmallRoleBigImpact but significant]]) appearances in three of the four stories in ''DNMC: Colors.''
** Junior and Adam Taurus both made an appearance in "DNMC: Naranja", with Junior serving as Nara's liaison and Adam being the one to send for Il Squalo Che Ride, who's implied to have some history with Nara based on them being listed under the "Enemies" section of Nara's bio.
** Raven and Vern come across Mak after the rock slide he caused to take out his mark, being the ones who send him off to Atlas (with implications being they did so with less than pure intentions).
** Winter Schnee appears at the end of "DNMC: Cyan" as the one who enrolls Cyena into Atlas Academy.
* ColorfulThemeNaming: As per series tradition, all the characters are named after something related to colors, symbolic or otherwise.
** D'Arg is named after "dearg", the Irish word for "red".
** Nara is named after "naranja", the Spanish word for "orange".
** Mak is named after "makani", the Hawaiian word for "wind", [[WindIsGreen which is often represented by the color green]].
** Cyena is named after "cyan", a shade of blue, but is meant to be pronounced as "Sienna".
* TheDreaded: Atlas as a whole seems to be headed towards this direction, given how the mere mention of the name is enough to sway anyone out of any arrangement.
* HiddenDepths: The bios of all the main characters show some facets of themselves that show there's more than meets the eye.
** D'Arg tends to draw or write poetry when he's not fighting.
** Nara may like action movies and metal and rock music, but she's willing to bend an ear to a good story.
** Mak has a thing for landscape photography.
** Cyena is more determined than she lets on if her mindset of "Stay the course of your destiny, no matter what" is an indicator.
* MixAndMatchWeapon: Just like in the official canon, there are weapons here that are a combination between two or three weapons.
* MultinationalTeam: InUniverse, all the members of the titular team are from one of the four kingdoms that make up the world of ''RWBY''.
* ShovelStrike: Nara's weapon doubles as a shovel.
* ShoutOut: "DNMC: Cyan" featured a white-clad cult with its [[TheHeavy heavy]], Mearth, using a fire-based Semblance. A white-clad cult associated with fire. [[Manga/FireForce Doesn't that sound familiar?]]
* TheStraightAndArrowPath: Of all the members on Team DNMC, Cyena's the only one who's weapon doesn't double as a modern-day firearm, rather doubling as a bow.
* StockShonenHero: D'Arg is practically the embodiment of this trope. Spikey colorful hair? Check. NoIndoorVoice? Check. Reckless to a fault? Checkity check check '''''check!'''''
* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Zig-zagged. In "DNMC: Dearg", D'Arg had plenty of time before the slaughter to talk down the Grimm that surrounded him, but in "DNMC: Naranja", Paul E. Kracko was taken out in one hit because he was talking when he should have been attacking.
