Not only are the Faunus not discriminated against here, they are in fact subject to PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad, with Mantle taking every opportunity to represent them, down to [[spoiler:building a Faunus-shaped android in the form of Sun Wukong]]. This story replaces the racism with ''classism'' instead, with the Schnees and the Blue Revolt being former victims of it.

**Pyrrha's first scene has her suffering from airsickness like Jaune did in canon, establishing her as this story's ButtMonkey.

**Sun's first appearance has him [[spoiler: speaking in a very Penny-like manner, indicating that he has taken Penny's role in this story, right down to being a robot.]]
**Weiss' flashback of the train heist with Winter in Chapter 16 establishes that this Winter is even more unhinged than canon Adam is.
*EvenTheGuysWantHim: While Jaune is very popular among fangirls, it is noted that he also has a number of fanboys as well.

**Professor Tyrian Callows of Grimm Studies class. He took Professor Port's role here. Enough said.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13704330/1/YBWR YBWR]]'' (pronounced as "Y-ber". [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Yes, really]]) is a ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' fanfic written by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/10566975/Genatools Genatools]]. As the summary would suggest, it is a RoleSwapAU where everyone have their roles reversed with another character.
This fic is currently on a temporary hiatus.

!!This fanfic contain examples of the following tropes:
*AdaptationalBadass: Jaune has his role reversed with Pyrrha, making him the champion prodigy who can fight really well.
*AdaptationalDumbass
**Ren took Nora's role as the Cloudcuckoolander.
**While he isn't really stupid in the straightest definition of the word, here Sun is less intelligent than his canon counterpart. [[spoiler: This is because, having taken Penny's role as a robot with NoSocialSkills, he also took on Penny's canon personality.]]
*AdaptationalComicRelief: The Brother Gods' roles in the Omakes.
*AdaptationalHeroism: Salem and her cabal, as well as Adam, are firmly on the heroes' side here.
**Adam is the most prominent example, as he is perfectly sane and not at all a terrorist here. Rather, he is a Specialist of the Mantilian military.
**Marcus Black, Mercury's father, is in canon a murderer and an abusive father (who is also a PosthumousCharacter). Here, he is a medical doctor working in Beacon's infirmary and is a NiceGuy overall.
**[[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzagged]] by the White Fang. On one hand, the White Fang ''Corporation'' is a MegaCorp rather than a terrorist organization. On the other hand, it is run by Ghira Belladonna who in this story is a CorruptCorporateExecutive and AbusiveParent on the same vein as canon Jacques.
*AdaptationalJerkass: While still a minor example as of this writing, here it is ''Summer'', not Raven, who abandoned her teammates and family.
*AdaptationalNiceGuy: Marcus Black, here a kind and caring father who works in Beacon's infirmary.
**The same goes for Mercury who, having grown up with a caring father, never became a sociopathic killer.
*AdaptationalSpeciesChange
**Penny is a human rather than a robot.
**[[spoiler: Sun is the robot here. A robot that resembles a monkey Faunus, nonetheless.]]
*AdaptationalVillainy: Ozpin is, as the fic's summary has already given away, the King of the Grimm. This would presumably apply to Port, and is straight up confirmed to be the case for Oobleck.
**Emerald and Mercury's roles are taken by Harriet and Marrow here.
**Winter is not only a ''terrorist'' working for the Blue Revolt, she is ''even more unhinged than canon Adam whose role she took''.
**Ghira Belladonna took Jacque Schnee's role as the CorruptCorporateExecutive and AbusiveParent.
*AdaptationalWimp
**Pyrrha, having taken Jaune's role here, is the clueless idiot who doesn't know anything about being a Hunter.

*AgeLift: Ruby is the older sister, and Yang the younger sister.
*CanonCharacterAllAlong: Neo's getaway pilot when she is fleeting Yang after the Dust store robbery is a man who does not resemble any canon male character, making it appear as though he is an Original Character. However, it is later revealed that this man, Glenn Warlock, is in fact [[spoiler:a genderbent Glynda Goodwitch who took Cinder's role in this story]].
*{{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Here, it's Ren instead of Nora.
*DeathByAdaptation
**Ironwood and Whitley are already dead before the story even began. Whitley's death, in particular, is what led to Weiss and Winter becoming Blue Revolt insurgents.
**Taiyang died instead of Summer in this story.
**Caroline Cordovin is killed by Harriet and Marrow for the same reason Tukson was killed by Emerald and Mercury in canon.
*DoesNotLikeSpam: Salem doesn't like coffee, and is annoyed that Watts does.
*FantasticRacism: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. Not only are the Faunus not discriminated against here, they are in fact subject to PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad, with Mantle taking every opportunity to represent them, down to [[spoiler:building a Faunus-shaped android in the form of Sun Wukong]]. This story replaces the racism with ''classism'' instead, with the Schnees and the Blue Revolt being former victims of it.
*GenderBender: Cardin Winchester is now ''Cassandra Winchester''. This applies to the rest of team CRDL as well.
**Neo's getaway pilot who ends up having to fight Cinder turns out to be [[spoiler:a genderbent Glynda Goodwitch]].
*LargeHam
**Neo, being able to talk in this story, loves to do this.
**Winter as a terrorist who happens to be even more insane than canon Adam is no slouch in the pork-consuming department either.
*NamedByTheAdaptation: The God of Darkness is named Diam in this story's Omake.
*NotSoAboveItAll: Cinder is the kind of woman who don't tolerate nonsense, but she lied about the injuries she suffered during ''her'' initiation for no reason other than to troll a clueless Pyrrha.
*{{Omake}}: One appears every two chapters, starring the Brother Gods.
*RoleSwapAU
*SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Inverted. Nora is the savvy one and Ren the energetic one.
*SparedByTheAdaptation
**Marcus Black, who is ''not'' an abusive father to Mercury here, is still alive.
**Summer is still alive in this story. Too bad it's not an entirely good thing here as she took ''Raven's role'' instead.
*WizardDuel: Cinder holds one against Glenn in the same manner as the one Glynda held against Cinder in canon. [[spoiler:It turns out Glenn is a genderbent Glynda, so it means the two combatants just had their positions reversed.]]
