4''[[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=144271.0 The Bay 12 RWBY RP]]'' is a PlayByPost Roleplay on the Roleplay/{{Bay 12|PlayByPostGames}} forums.

6Rather than being set in an original universe like the majority, [[Roleplay/Bay12KatawaShoujoRoleplay certain]] [[Roleplay/FireEmblemOnForums roleplays]] [[Roleplay/NamePending notwithstanding]], this one is set in the world of ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', centering on the continent of Atlas and Bulwark Academy, the kingdom's ExtranormalInstitute, [[FlashForwardFic set thirty years after the events of RWBY]].

10!!''The Bay 12 RWBY RP'' contains examples of:
11* ActionPrologue: The initiation of Huntsmen and Huntresses starts by ''shooting down the transport they're on'' and seeing if they can survive the trip to Bulwark.
12%% * AntiMagic: Chartre and Justine's Semblances use this.
13%% * {{BFS}}: Carran's Hammer Blade and Aurum's unnamed zweihander. Also, Lloyd's Caladbolg.
14%% * BlowYouAway: Lloyd's main Semblance and one part of Maeve's own Semblance.
15%% * BlueBlood:
16%% ** Chartre, Amber and Aurum.
17%% ** Amber's family is also based at least partially on [[ArabOilSheikh oil]] [[CorruptCorporateExecutive tycoons]]. They sent her to Hunter Academy in the hopes she'd [[TookALevelInJerkass Take A Level In Jerkass]].
18%% * CantHoldHisLiquor: Chartre, despite being the son of a family of vintners.
19* CaptainErsatz: Nia is [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair Nanami]] in all but name, with the additional hints of the myth of the Moon Rabbit and touches of Maeve's backstory.
20%% * ColdSniper: Emeril, although she has a [[FriendlySniper kinder side]].
21%% * CombatClairvoyance: Amber's Semblance, though it's not always on.
22%% * DoesNotLikeMen: Or, rather, [[InvertedTrope women]] in Lexus' case.
23%% * TheDrifter: The Ua Scathach, Maeve's family, are an entire clan of this.
24%% * ElementalPunch: Which leads to Ian's weapon of choice, using dust to give his punches an extra kick.
25%% * ElementalWeapon: Pretty much everyone has one.
26%% * FantasticRacism: Emeril is subjected to this due to being [[LittleBitBeastly a Faunus.]]
27%% * TheFool: Aurum- he only ends up at Bulwark by sheer luck.
28%% * GenkiGirl: Ceil is intended to be at least somewhat like this.
29%% * HotWitch: Maeve's entire theme.
30%% * ImplacableMan: Ian's semblance which allows him to shrug off attacks like nothing.
31* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: As this is RWBY, everyone, although there are some particularly awesome examples:
32** Emeril's Panther, which is a sniper rifle, a BladeBelowTheShoulder and a [[WolverineClaws clawed gauntlet]] all in one.
33** Maeve's Shadow Weave, aka ''her own clothing''. It's already taken the form of bat wings and long claw-like fingers.
34%%** Carran's Hammer Blade.
35%%** Indigo's unnamed weapon, which is a scythe-shotgun.
36** Amber's Hakimdos is a [[MixAndMatchWeapon combination]] [[WhipSword bladed whip]] and gun, as well as her primary means of [[BuildingSwing locomotion]].
37* ImprobableUseOfAWeapon: Ian's clawed gauntlets can be used to [[MundaneUtility cook potatoes]].
38* ImprobableWeaponUser: Everyone, but Maeve stands out: she uses her [[ClothesMakeTheSuperman clothing, Shadow Weave]] as a weapon.
39* InsistentTerminology: Lexus is not a ''bird'', they are an ''owl''.
40%% * LittleBitBeastly: Emeril, as the resident Faunus.
41%% * TheMafia: The Ponzini family.
42%% * MagicalSociety: Again, the Ua Scathach.
43%% * MafiaPrincess: Nickel and Dime Ponzini- both daughters of a massive crime family in Vacuo.
44* MeaningfulName: Everyone's name contains at least one allusion to color that makes up their themes. For example, Maeve's last name means [[CastingAShadow 'shadow']] while Nia's full name means [[LightEmUp 'bright' and 'luminous']].
45* TheMedic: Nia's Moon Aspect semblance allows her to drain her own Aura to heal allies....or steal it from enemies.
46* MoreThanMeetsTheEye: At first glance, Braith is a boring boy detached from society. When fighting, he is a badass that summons monsters and shoots dustballs at people.
47%% * MsFanservice: Maeve, most definitely.
48* NamedWeapon: Pretty much everyone has one, such as Maeve's Shadow Weave and Amber's Hakimdo's.
49%% * RazorWind: One use of wind dust and the first dust attack Ian uses.
50%% * RoyalRapier: Chartre's Mistrelle.
51%% * SigilSpam: Maeve's Semblance, with several effects depending on color, from [[PlayingWithFire red]], [[BlowYouAway green]] and [[CastingAShadow black]].
52%% * SinisterScythe: Indigo's unnamed weapon and Lloyd's Caladbolg.
53%% * SuperStrength: Carran's Semblance is this.
54%% * TimeStandsStill: Slate's Semblance.
