3	Remnant is on the brink of disaster. The malevolent Creatures of Grimm steadily encroach upon every facet of civilization and various societal and racial tensions between both Humans and Faunus threatens to rip apart whatever semblance of peace that's been established.

13	!!''SHIT'' contains examples of the following tropes:
14	--------
15	* AcademyOfAdventure: Beacon Academy, as well as the other academies located in the various Kingdoms of Remnant.
16	* AdaptationDeviation: While much of the canon of RWBY appears to have remained the same, many smaller and larger deviations have been made in order to flesh out implications and aspects of the world that weren't either shown or overtly apparent in RWBY.
17	* AdaptationExpansion: RWBY canon has a lot of room left open for worldbuilding, and the authors take advantage of it. Overlaps with AdaptationDeviation.
18	* AgeDownRomance: Subverted: in the past, Trent used his semblance to work as a 'child' escort with women who were...''into'' [[{{Squick}} that sort of thing]].
19	* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Samael's mother, a woman named Gabriel Ivory, takes Samael bringing Ruby with him to visit as him bringing a prospective girlfriend home and happily supports the possibility.
20	* {{Chuunibyou}}: Samael, and painfully so. He wears a trenchcoat woven from snakeskin belts and wields a katana/shuriken called Desolation Amaterasu.
21	* CultureBlind: Weiss is absolutely racist toward Faunus, but is also just as ignorant of their plight. This is slowly changing.
22	* DarkAndTroubledPast: You can probably count the number of people who don't have some semblance of this on one hand.
23	* DualAgeModes: Trent's Semblance allows him to turn into a child and back.
24	* EldritchAbomination: The Starborn Stalker of a Thousand Eyes from the tales spread about it. [[spoiler: Of course, it turns out that the real thing is much more human..]]
25	* FantasticRacism: Unlike in canon, Faunus are genuinely treated as second-class citizens at best and the implications of such are explored a bit more.
26	* ForgetsToEat: While Samael's snake Faunus physiology is partially to blame for this, the true reason for this is that he and his implied to be adoptive mother are well below the poverty line and he abused his physiology to ensure that she wouldn't starve to death for his sake.
27	* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: During the Mountain Glenn train fight, Trent gets his aura shattered by one of the WF’s stolen Paladins, then knocked off a moving train, with his muscles and bones being torn apart when he hits the ground.]] Suffice to say, he doesn’t get back up again.
28	* LossOfInhibitions: Hjøphiël's mere presence causes this in women, and he does not like it one bit since it always results in unwanted attention. Eventually gets a Semblance suppressing tool from Ozpin to make it a non-issue.
29	* TheParanoiac: Blake qualifies as this, as she tends to instantly assume the worst of other people, can be abrasive when dealing with others, and often refuses to acknowledge when she messes up. Though given the fact that it's implied Menagerie isn't the paradise it is in RWBY canon and that Adam is implied to be more dangerous, there's good reason for this.
30	* PoorCommunicationKills: Nearly everyone is hiding something from someone else, often to the point of complicating things more than necessary.
31	* ReligiousBruiser: Ruby is outright religious, following an in-setting faith known as The Unchained. Though this particular trope stems more from the fact that Team HITS is largely unaware of the religion before arriving at Beacon Academy, and did not know that Ruby's outfit is quite normal for a follower.
32	* SnakePeople: Samael is a snake Faunus. The snakeskin belts that comprise his trenchcoat are made from ''his'' skin.
