==Summary==
RWBY (pronounced "Ruby") is an anime-styled American CG-animated web-series created by the Rooster Teeth Productions' animation studio (known for their show Red vs Blue). The series is created and directed by animator Monty Oum (known for his animations like Haloid (Halo x Metroid crossover) and Dead Fantasy (Dead or Alive/Ninja Gaiden x Final Fantasy x Kingdom Hearts crossover)). The story takes place in the world of Remnant, which is composed of four kingdoms (Vale, Mistral, Atlas, and Vacuo) that are plagued by malevolent creatures known as the "Creatures of Grimm". Prior to the events of the series, the world was overseen by two opposing deities, the God of Light and the God of Darkness. Humanity was obliterated by the gods due to the actions of Salem, a vengeful woman cursed with immortality for trying to manipulate them into reviving her husband Ozma. Ozma was subsequently reincarnated by the gods to guide a new human race toward harmony, leading to an endless conflict between him and Salem. Eventually, the discovery of a mysterious element called Dust triggered a technological and industrial revolution in the world.
In the present day, having formed a cabal to guard their world's secrets, Ozma's current incarnation Ozpin establishes academies in the four kingdoms of Remnant to train students to battle the Grimm. The academies secretly conceal four Relics that, if united, would summon the gods back to Remnant to judge humanity. The series focuses on four girls that enrolled in Beacon Academy in the kingdom of Vale: Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long. Together, they form Team RWBY ("Ruby").

==Power of the Verse==
Although starting out relatively small in terms of power, the verse has grown as the series went on, showing off a great variety of techniques. It is also fast, having clocked in some hefty hypersonic speeds before the first episode even aired.
To start, students from Huntsmen Academies are around Large Building level, with the main characters and Pro Huntsmen being Multi-City Block level+.
The Maidens such as Cinder Fall are Small City level from her breaking through Ozpin's shield and are comparable to each other in strength. Ozpin also sits at this level for visibly injuring Cinder with the full power of the Fall Maiden.
Some objects in the verse are also capable of powerful feats. The Long Memory, wielded by Ozpin and later Oscar Pine varies in strength based on the output released, but the highest shown is Mountain level for destroying Monstra and the surrounding Tempest storm. The Relic of Creation sits at Island level for its casual feat of lifting and maintaining the city of Atlas in the air. 
For top tiers, Salem at her strongest stands at Large Island level for lifting and launching an entire river of Grimm Liquid. Ozma, the original form of Ozpin, also stands at this level for battling equally against her, matching her magic and killing her multiple times.
Finally, the verse also has two supreme beings, the Gods of Light and Darkness, one of whom is responsible for the shattered state of Remnant's moon. The two were also responsible for the creation of the Acres in the Ever After, an alternate realm, with some possessing starry skies, making them Multi-Solar System level in power.

==Terminology==
*Dust: Dust is used as an energy propellant in the world of RWBY. It is also used to power weapons and machinery, such as Weiss' Myrtenaster, though Dust can still be used without the aid of weapons or machines. Dust is a natural resource, sometimes called "Nature's Wrath" according to the opening narration. It is available in different colors and states, such as crystal and powder, the only difference between the crystal and powder forms of Dust is a significant decrease in potency for the crystal form. Dust functions in a manner similar to a combination of batteries, fuel, and personal energy. Dust is sold in shops, such as From Dust Till Dawn. It is shown to have natural explosive power. During the store robbery, Roman threw a crystal at Ruby's feet and shot it, causing a powerful explosion. The powdered form appears to be more volatile, since a simple sneeze from Ruby resulted in the detonation of a Dust cloud. We have yet to see the everyday use of Dust, but it has been mentioned that Dust is very much related to weaponry in RWBY. It can be easily speculated as electricity or a similar type of fuel (assumed to run vehicles such as the Airships for example).
**Primary Types of Dust: Dust is noted to come in several different attributes and colors. Green Dust is Wind/Air, Red Dust is Fire/Burn, Blue Dust is Water, Yellow Dust is Lightning, Dark Orange Dust is Earth, Black/Purple Dust is Gravity, and Cyan Dust is Hard-Light.
**Secondary Types of Dust: Combining dust in weapons and into attacks can also produce varying effects. Combining Water and Air dust produces Ice Dust, and combining Water and Fire dust creates Steam Dust.
*Faunus: Faunus are a race similar to humans except for the fact that they share certain traits with animals. Some, such as Blake Belladonna and Velvet Scarlatina, have animal ears, in these cases those of a cat or a rabbit; others have been shown to have horns protruding from their heads. Faunus with animal ears also appear to have a set of human ears, as do those with horns. Some Faunus, such as Sun Wukong, may have prehensile tails. In addition, they may also share more subtle physical similarities to animals, such as Blake's eyes, which are amber in color and tilted upwards at the corners (two common characteristics of cat eyes). It has also been stated that most Faunus have remarkable night vision, a trait that they use to great effect in combat. Faunus are usually treated like animals or second-class citizens by some humans and suffer from racism and discrimination.
*Aura: Aura is an ability that all those with a soul can use, at least with enough practice. Because Aura is the manifestation of the soul, it can appear very differently depending on the user. For example, the color of Aura varies from person to person. Also, a person with a strong Aura may radiate bright colors when using it. Anything with a soul has an Aura, such as humans, Faunus, and even animals. The Creatures of Grimm, being soulless, are the only known beings who do not possess it. Skilled users of Aura can create their own barriers or even increase their own abilities in some way. Weapons and armor can also act as a conduit for Aura, allowing for an even wider range of offensive and defensive capabilities. It has been shown that Aura strength degrades with continual use. This limits the applications of Aura in combat as, with time or heavy use, a person's Aura will decay to the point where they are left weakened or even incapacitated. It can be compared to Ki or Chi in other media. 
Aura is a necessary energy source for all Huntsmen and Huntresses, being their most powerful ally in battle. Aura, as demonstrated by various characters, has the ability to do the following:
*Heightened Perception: Aura seems to be able to sharpen one's senses, or allow one to detect danger, as mentioned by Pyrrha.
**Defense: Demonstrated by Ren in the forest, and explained by Pyrrha. Aura is mainly used for defensive purposes. Ren used his to block the fangs of a King Taijitu that was attacking him.
**Offense: Demonstrated by Ren in the forest, as he sends a shock wave of force propelling a fang through the snake's head, causing it to explode. Additionally, Pyrrha has stated that all tools and equipment are conduits for a person's Aura.
**Unlocking: One's Aura can be used to 'unlock' the Aura of someone else; as shown by Pyrrha, who unlocks Jaune's Aura. Doing this appears to take a toll on the user however.
**Healing: It also seems that those with a strong enough Aura can heal minor wounds. Jaune used this directly on a small cut after having his Aura unlocked. However, it appears that the healing is automatic, and not caused at will. It also seems to wear off after engaging in combat, as Jaune's injuries returned post-battle with an Ursa.
*Semblance: Semblance is the manifestation of one's innate and personal power, as an ability unique to each individual, with the effects varying greatly from user to user. Individuals possess their own unique Semblance that represents an aspect of their character. It is currently unknown if an individual's Semblance is related to their Aura. Those that use Semblance are able to manipulate certain physical phenomena according to the nature of their power. Some individuals, such as Weiss Schnee, are able to use their Semblance to create glyphs that generate some desired effect. Ruby Rose is able to move at incredible speeds, while Pyrrha Nikos can manipulate magnetic forces. Taken from the RWBY Wiki.
