4	'''Dust to Dust: A [=W2B Spinoff=]''' is a Website/TVTropes RP based on Creator/MontyOum and Creator/RoosterTeeth's ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}''. Created on November 25th 2015 as a revamp of the now-defunct Welcome to Beacon: Rising {{Tropers/Insano}} is the GameMaster of the roleplay.
5
6	Taking place approximately 177 years before the events of {{Roleplay/Welcome To Beacon Ultimate}} (and 179 years before the events of canon ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}''), the RP tells the stories of various adventurers who will be involved in the RP's events. A time of great change and progress is on the horizon, and Remnant as they know it will never be the same again.

10	!!This roleplay provides examples of the following:
11
12	* AlternateUniverse: As always, to the RWBY canon itself, since Dust to Dust takes place in the Beacon Ultimate Continuity.
13	* AllThereInTheManual: Most of the worldbuilding surrounding the RP essentially exists just to provide extra context and is virtually all provided through posts in the discussion thread, rather than in-character. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that all world building needs to be given GM permission before being used.
14	* AlwaysChaoticEvil: [[TheSoulless The Grimm]], just like how they're portrayed in canon ''RWBY'', and which are basically just rampaging, human hating monsters.
15	* AppliedPhlebotinum: Dust, just like in canon ''RWBY'', is used for everything from transportation to weaponry to powering machinery.
16	* DarkerAndEdgier: Than both canon RWBY and {{Roleplay/Welcome To Beacon Ultimate}}.
17	* FantasticRacism: As in canon ''RWBY'', against the [[LittleBitBeastly Faunus]], for some characters.
18	* FantasyGunControl: Firearms have not been introduced yet, as as Dust, arrows/bolts, cannons/mortars, and throwing weapons/war machines have so far proved sufficient for ranged warfare. Subverted, however, as their emergence will occur in the RP.
19	* FunWithAcronyms: Every team name in the roleplay is an acronym. This time around, the four teams are named after the four seasons.
20	* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Well, of course.]] Though the weapons aren't quite as advanced yet, due to this being almost 180 years in the past.
21	* MilestoneCelebration: The original concept for the RP, Welcome to Beacon: Rising, began on the one year anniversary of the original {{Roleplay/Welcome To Beacon}} RP's creation.
22	* MixAndMatchWeapon: These are not as common as they are in the other versions of Beacon, due to this being in the far past, but some of the students have some.
