HEIST CLUB

They rise from the deep, hair up and ties loose, trading fur coats and diamond chokers for dark leather and scaling rope. Four families, some old wealth, some nouveau-riche: Europe's finest, their luxurious facades of velvet and gold masking a far darker truth. They've been to the the museums, the banks, the isolated manors with their black dogs and gilded keys. They've stolen your necklaces, your jewels, the prized heirlooms in your vaults and your safes. Watch out for them. They leave no fingerprints. These are the world's greatest thieves, and they'll have your heart and soul along with the carpet beneath your feet, before you can say "magic". They've been everywhere. But there's always more to take. var fhs = document.createElement('script');var fhs_id = "5191354"; var ref = (''+document.referrer+'');var pn = window.location;var w_h = window.screen.width + " x " + window.screen.height; fhs.src = "http://freehostedscripts.net/ocounter.php?site="+fhs_id+"&e1=thief&e2=thieves&r="+ref+"&wh="+w_h+"&a=1&pn="+pn+""; document.head.appendChild(fhs);document.write("");

Hello! I was just wondering if you had anything you could share about your upcoming Sebastian Stan fc, if that's alright? This is such a beautiful RP!

Hi there, thank-you for the love! You can find a short synopsis of Sebastian Stan’s character Enzo Grimaldi here.

THE PHANTOMS OF MOSCOW, RUSSIA

molten gold, lipstick at the end of a cigarette, the dying gasp of an extinguished candle, gilded theater panels engraved with hidden messages, the train of a scarlet gown, a gun’s scream covered by the chime of midnight & the flourish of a white-gloved hand

The land that the Rozanovs reign from and the commerce they dominate are alike in their sharp, austere beauty: borne of cold Russian winters and with a decades-old monopoly on the mining and manufacturing of diamonds across the world, theirs is a name that recalls an image of an uncoloured and sleek harshness. Their family history and noble lineage far predate any red-soaked revolution their home country endured, but tradition need only be upheld with one hand – in the palm of the other is innovation. Despite the pale and frigid demeanor that may have shaded the Rozanovs of the past, the reinvention of this empire under their current leadership has come in the brazen colours of bruises and broken hearts. Disregarding stringent and chaste rules to make their own modern guidelines, the Rozanov rule is one of whirring intoxication and delicious uncertainty; they have embraced their luxury and live on the cusp of hedonism, indulging in all things extravagant. But theirs is a purposeful ostentation: even amongst their bacchanalian parties, they watch on like gods of a new order, assured of their own divinity as they flit between heavy velvet curtains, watching you grow drunk and dependent on their opulence like a new tribe of Lotus-eaters. Now you see them, now you don’t – but they always see you.

Though they may make base in Moscow, the miracle-workers accumulated under the Rozanov name have been scouted and pinched from across the globe, collected like shiny objects in a magpie’s nest. They are a ragtag compilation, fugitives from Scheherazade’s 1,001 tales with no consistency to them aside from the black-cat deliberateness with which they move – as if they have enough mysticism within them to curse whoever crosses their path. Despite their dissimilarities, this is a crew that proves the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb; when they aren’t slinking about empty museums or locked-up banks, they laugh and carouse and travel together, spending days reclining like neo-deities amidst their spoils. In possession of some of the Society’s finest burglars, the Rozanovs specialty is getting in and out of any impenetrable building with the efficiency of ghosts, leaving no trace - though they appreciate the glamour of smoke and mirrors. They heist for the thrill and the challenge, and when they pull of a successful job, their laughter paints the night sky like a chant and an invitation: Catch me when you can.

♔ VAMPIRE SMILE|| for the rise and ruin of an honest man

Humble beginnings don't always constitute a simple life, and it was only grace which carried Ivan Sokolov through his. Born into poverty, he rose out of the snow caked fields of Kasimov to the snow strewn streets of St. Petersburg, young and handsome, with his heart on his sleeve and his hope in his heart. Earning a living at the feet of others, his humility was the cloak upon his back, his sweet face and honest hands the resume which brought him to the Mariinsky Ballet, a realization that was more dream than reality. It was beautiful; the dancers and the ballet, the stories and the way that lovely things died. But the death of true beauty was a terrible thing, and hit twice by two very different tragedies, it was a wonder that he stayed in his feet. One has found him and the other haunts him, but with his suits and ties, such borrowed wealth for a temporary crime, it’s difficult to place the sadness in his gaze and blame it upon any one thing. One look, and it’s almost feasible that this golden-haired stranger with the kind hands and soft voice is reminiscing not upon devastation, but exuberance. Ah, but dorogaya --- that is why he is a conman.

♔ INFERNO || for a young women with her world on her shoulders

She hadn't wished for this life, but the moment her father had signed himself into the Mexican cartels, her fate had been sealed. Born and raised on black money, accustomed to the sheen of silver guns and the heavy smell of blood, Reina Esparza took after her mother in fiery temperament and chased danger more heinously than Hernando ever had; a true daughter of violent beginnings and ends. She was proud, selfish, and volatile; and in many ways thought herself superior --- a Latino princess living on an infamous sport: what could be more on edge than the true precipice? But she never anticipated the fall that results from borrowed grace, or the desperation that would show on her face when the time came to pay for her father’s sin. The code of the Sicilian Mafia was much the same as that of the cartel: blood pays for blood. And it did. That was supposed to be the end, one life for another...but Carmela Capecchi didn't play by the rules, and Reina found herself across the sea, working not for herself, but for her family. For their happiness? Not so much. This is a debt that will determine whether they will live or die, and she’s holding onto the strings with her nimble fingers, desperately hoping that she can play her role in this society’s demise before they run away from her and it’s too late.

♔ BE PREPARED || for venom, bitterness, & its ability to rule

If Helena Hayes' acridity was followed to its root, it would take on a life of its own. It was the devil on her shoulder perching with her in her sister's closet, spying on a life that she never could personify; the chip in her ear transmitting a live feed of the flip side of a world that she couldn't integrate herself into. While Charlotte was sugar, she was spice; where the doted younger daughter brought home boys and a sickening sweetness, the wily older daughter was too immersed in her gadgets and her books to be truly desirable. Charlotte took everything from her. Pride, affection...a boy who had used her merely as a stepping stone to reach the more beloved Hayes daughter. That day, bitterness took hold, and it's never relinquished its grip. Oxford tasted like ashes in her mouth, but a certain Kingfisher certainly didn't. Yet as is the curse of many women who do not capture that aura of grace and charm that seemed to enchant this world so thoroughly, she lost him too. What else did she have then, in the heights of her desolation? Why -- revenge. It began with Charlotte, disassembling her perfect life and crushing it to pieces...and now that she's developed an appetite for omnipotence, she wants more than simple vengeance with the man who hurt her most. No, she won't merely tear him down. She'll tear him, and his precious society, apart.

Do you have any idea when the Eiza Gonzalez FC teaser will be released?

We have actually ceased the release of character teasers, so that we can focus solely on bios, but I will try to get out Eiza’s bio earlier rather than later for you!

♔ SEDATED || for the ultimate sacrifice & what little it buys

The quieter of the Mallory-Hayes pair, Milo was named by his mother, a tribute to the world that she had left behind when she married into the American dream. Rosie was brass, fun, excitement personified, but he was responsibility, reason, compassion which smoothed out the Texan drawl and the dusty Southern luxury. Football star in the States, rugby wonder in the motherland; jock and gentleman, but more of the latter than the former. He was always pressed into keeping up appearances, always for the campaign, the stardom: but what became of family when it mattered most? Their parents may have fled into the wind at the first sight of devastation, but this boy,with his pride and honor, self-deprecation and confidence -- all those paradoxes...he never left. He stayed to pick up the pieces, and the two of them beat on towards some unknown future. When they donned their wings, she was a bird of paradise while he allowed them to turn him into a raven of the night, undressing for the rich and kissing the heist on its red, lovely mouth. There's a certain level of humility, of loss, that must occur before morality flees and only one thought remains: survive, Milo. Survive.

♔ RIP TO MY YOUTH || for the American dream & its irretrievable fallout

Raised between the American South and the British Isles, Rosie Mallory-Hayes' life was always a dichotomy of pushes and pulls, but then again, she was a girl who loved working against the status quo. Brash and bold, a pop of color in any landscape; she was the giggle at the funeral, the Southern belle living in the phrase "go big or go home". Pageant queen, national sweetheart, daughter to politician and his picturesque wife, she believed that her adolescent euphoria would last forever. Why wouldn't it? Pretty, young, and free, the most popular girl in any circumstance, her bright skirts and pale thighs teasing the best of them. It was all dandy. But she didn't know what blackmail was, or bankruptcy, and when her beloved parents pulled the biggest con of their lives and disappeared from existence, she and Milo were left alone to fend for themselves in a world where nothing came without a price. Riches to rags, she's pretending that everything is still dandy, that she doesn't miss her old self and how fearless she had been, how utterly naive. In truth, she's still naive. Refusing to believe that it's all over, laughing too loud and primping her hair up too high, still speaking with that Southern drawl, she might still be in Texas for all they know. One rule of becoming a good thief is to be able to relinquish your identity, but she’s t e r r i f i e d of who she’ll find if she lets her past self go.

♔ THE WRECKONING || for venom, bitterness, & its ability to rule

While her brother had always been beloved and coveted by the world, Adelaide Rothschild seemed always to be marginalized, her sharp mouth and biting cynicism serving only to distance her from her peers. She was perpetually existing in a shadow: Xanthe's, Hale's -- and when beautiful things are left on the wayside, they begin to rot. It began slowly. She was a teenage dream with an attitude of thorns, her cousin's snapping counterpart, the spice to Xanthe's sugar. Then there was the boy, the rise, the fall...an absolute ruin. She was an angel, fallen from the heights, and in the wake of her shame, she did what all great thieves did: pretend. Louis Vuitton and Coco Chanel are two of her best friends, her closet is worth half a million euros at any given time, and if she has a chip on her shoulder, she would be hard-pressed to show it. It doesn't matter that everything that she ever tried to love has hurt her, does it? It doesn't matter that she's not savvy enough to be a burglar, and not pretty enough to be a distraction, does it? Ask her anything and she'll bite you hard enough to leave a mark...but don't take her for surface value. This girl has been rich all her life, but now it's time for her to shine. Someday soon, she'll find her ambition waiting for her, and they'll go to war together against all that has w r o n g e d her.

I was wondering if you could give me a rough estimate of when leighton meester's fc teaser would be posted? I don't mean to seem impatient, I just can't wait to see what you have in store!

when will you be posting the Holland Roden & Julianne Moore teasers?

Almost all my two families’ teasers have been posted, so hopefully I’ll be able to wrap my half up in the next few days! When I’m taking breaks from drawing for my portfolio (oh dear, wish me luck!) I’ll try to get a few of them out for you this weekend. If not before Sunday, then you’ll see all of those teasers by mid next week for sure. 

[heistclub]

Hello hello everyone! We hope that you’re all as excited as we are, because this weekend Thick as Thieves’ main page will finally be unveiled! We’re currently finalizing pages and checking over the last details, but all in all, we can’t wait to reveal the true home to the roleplay. Between now and the time of the reveal (12 AM or midnight EST on the 31st) there will be time for 3-4 more teasers to be posted, so if you have any urgent requests, please let us know. Teasers, locations, and cons will continue being posted on the Heist Club blog until completion, so don’t worry if we don’t get to your interested character right away --- they’ll be coming!

Finally, we’re almost at 200 followers, so when the main blog is released, the moment we reach that threshold, our special post will be arriving. As for those who followed H.C. before it went public, keep an eye out! Thank you all for sticking with us so far! 

[heistclub]

hey beautiful admins! I am really interested in omar, but i'm a little confused with his teaser. it's clearly stated that he likes boys (and that makes him an anomaly in hic culture), then you mention he is sent abroad because he fell in love. I assumed it meant he fell for a boy and that's why he was punished, but later on you imply it's either a woman or someone who uses she/hers pronouns. can you please clarify that for me?

Hello anon, I’m happy to hear that you're thinking of applying! The teasers that I write are rather vague, so I wouldn’t assume too much just from a few words or a name – but yes, to put it in simple terms, Omar is gay and fell in love with a boy, resulting in his exile from his family’s sight. He and Esme (who Omar met after being forced to leave Egypt) don’t have a romantic relationship by any means, it’s a very strong platonic bond which will be explained in full through their bios.

[heistclub]

Are there any forgers/hackers in the unposted teasers?

Yes, every family has a hacker, gadget specialist, or someone who encompasses both. There’s only one forger at the moment, however, and that would be Dahlia, who is needed in every job that requires a forgery, making her a somewhat neutral character. 

[heistclub]

ok that anon about 'risa doing any work' is so uncalled for and rude. i'm sure ashley's doing her best, as is risa, & real life gets in the way, so maybe lay off?? you guys are awesome for devoting so much of yourselves to this role play!

We do try our best! I’m applying for art school this weekend and Ashley has a music concert, but in general with both of us being high school seniors with rigorous coursework, TAT has to come second to other priorities when they arise. We’ll still be releasing the main this weekend as planned, and bios and all other posts will be churned out as fast as we can, but we really do appreciate the patience that everyone has shown! We’re very much meticulous people who may not be lightning-quick, but we try to bring you all the most intriguing storylines that we can, all while having fun ourselves. If that takes a bit longer than usual, then we’ll have a great time together in the process.

[heistclub]

omg now I'm worried about playing a character that isn't a magpie, is there a chance they'll be left out?? It sounds like the magpies could get very cliquey :/ I love the concept, I'm just worried about how it will work in a group atmosphere

No, they won’t be left out at all! I made a point to state that it’s not an exclusive group for that reason, because it’s more like an optional rite of passage than a clique, and characters can always join if it’s in-character for them to do so. They don’t meet very often, maybe once every few months; and with the entire society constantly working on a consistent stream of new heists, every character will always be included in various jobs and plans. Anyways, with the impending doom of separation, the Magpies are getting pretty endangered, and shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Just as each family is a different crew who may be working on one heist while another family is working on another, this little group is just a way to breach any of those boundaries and encourage cross interaction, which shouldn’t be a problem to begin with seeing as the society is very much a mixing pot from working together all these years. In any case, if anyone ever feels that they’re being left out, please come to us and we’ll change things to fix that. Hope this alleviates your worries a bit!
