We're the new era

Rome, 2022. The Cessations and the Revelations are two rival gangs vying for supremacy in the underbelly of The Eternal City. With new laws in place banning prostitution, drugs, and even alcohol, the stakes are higher than ever. War is brewing between the chaotic, power-hungry Cessations and the more peaceable Revelations, and both gangs are preparing for a long and bloody fight. Everybody wants to rule the world. But the question is… Who will? [ MORE+ ] [ MOBILE NAVIGATION ] an original crime/gang roleplay

Because your awesome admin is a hot mess and is utterly stressed, I forgot the password that our past co admin created. Since the password for the email is very old and we’ve changed passwords like crazy I am unable to change passwords or emails. The best option was to make a new blog altogether. So please follow the new blog.

That being said, bios will be reposted on the new blog. And a new ooc will be created. If you would like to be added to the new ooc please like this post.

In addition to the new main, Roma is going to go under a revamp. If you wish to reclaim your role in the revamp, please like this post. You have till Sunday to reclaim your role, if not all roles will be altered and reopened.

Hi! I have two questions! Is there an application for co-admin? And do you accept fc changes? (:

There isn’t an application. All I need is your skype and bio samples that you have created. And we do accept fc changes that share similar features.

[thisisroma--rpg-blog]

are you still looking for admins?

Yes, I am still!! If you’re interested just send a message to the main off anon and we can discuss! I need a lot of help with making new bios, editing already exisiting bios, deleting older bios, and also promote the roleplay. And other various things, too. :)

[thisisroma--rpg-blog]

Since the event is coming to an end tomorrow, I am giving out the option to either extend the event for another couple of days or end it completely tomorrow. Since there was really only little about of people roleplaying the AU event, I can see there can be more opportunities to see it being extended if anyone wasn’t around to participate. Then again, I am not the admin to force any events down throats. 

If you wish to extend the event longer, please message the main.

Is Ricardo's current FC Lee Pace or David Oakes? I love both, but I'm just curious.

They’re actual available fcs to use. Lee and David is open but Ricardo’s character is not available to apply for.

Happy 3rd Birthday TIR!!!

On this very day, TIR first open with very few bios. Now, we’re ranging over a hundred bios (which we are still trying to get rid of some too by the way.) TIR has seen a great deal of events and we’ve experienced writing with amazing people all across the world. I am still very shocked that we’re still open despite our low activity currently. But of course this is only a phase in which Roma has always faced around this time. I just want to say thank you to all current and previous members for making TIR an amazing roleplay as it is today. Thank you to all admins we’ve have now and also in the past. Because without their help we wouldn’t have made it this far without patience.

Since we’re currently still in the AU event until it ends (unless people wants it to be extended since really there was only 2 people participating) there will be an actual roleplay event celebrating the roleplay’s birthday with food, fireworks, music, and music. 

You guys are all amazing and I am so happy to have the opportunity to roleplay with everyone. Let’s make this another successful year! 

-- Admin Sarah

Is there anyone you can see Bob Morley being an alt. FC for?

Sorry for the late response I was gone all day! But I can see him as Martinet Blackwood, Oisin Carrol, Michelin Blackwood, and Ace. Anyone really who is in their mid to late twenties.

[thisisroma--rpg-blog]

Between Rory, Olivia, Taylor, Harper, Guiliana, and Juliette, who would you most like to see?

I would love see Guiliana around again or even Olivia. It’s up to you though on who you connect better with, but those would be my first picks.

♔ NAME: Lorenzo Bartolini

♔ HOMETOWN: Dublin, Ireland

♔  AFFILIATION: Cessations (Ex-Revelations)

Lorenzo Bartolini is the name.  It’s a name that every woman in all of Rome knows. Why? Well, Lorenzo has to be Rome’s most eligible bachelors around – probably one of the best around.  But also, everyone knows him for this life story back in the day.  How brutal and sad it was, and his story would make any girl curl up next to him. This has been his way with all the ladies.  Lorenzo was 19 and his family moved to beautiful Ravello, Italy.  It was the place where people were always at the beaches, drinking white wine and having a good time. Things weren’t stressful since it was sunny all day and money wasn’t the problem since most people owned their own wineries, farms, and business.  Lorenzo’s family wanted that life – stress free.  They travelled all the way from Dublin, Ireland to get this lifestyle.   But only a couple months after Lorenzo’s family moving to Ravello, he found himself constantly getting in trouble with a group of friends that he called ‘His little gang,’ Lorenzo was the eldest member of the group of friends, so the members considered him as the leader.  He made all decisions, he was blamed for most of the laws the small gang done.  It was what a true leader would have done

But all that changed when the Revelations reached to peaceful Ravello.   Lorenzo and his gang lived on the east side of this town – that was mainly where everything was ruined by bombs and fire.  Being the leader, he wanted his members to stay safe, so he sent them away to find safety.  But during that time while he was trying to save his belongings in the house he lived in, it blew up out of nowhere.  The side effects from the bomb picked up Lorenzo and thrown him out of the living room’s window and out on the streets completely unconscious.   The only thing he remembers was watching his young friends getting shot at and collapsing to the sandy ground beneath them and his house getting blown up.  He woke up from a coma 4 months later.  His parents immediately moved to Rome after their son woken up from his endless slumber in the coma.   From that day, Lorenzo always wondered who was the one who found his helpless body.  Somebody had to find him not didn’t lose hope in his body even when he was surrounded by other dead children in the area.  

Lorenzo grew up to be a great successful man.  But of course, being him, he always found himself getting in trouble with either the law or some gang.  Lorenzo found himself being in huge debt with the previous Revelations leader, he didn’t have much choice to join them.  It wasn’t his ideal gang since it was the gang that did ruined Ravello and killed all his friends – at least he thought.  But he didn’t want to be the average assassin.  He wanted to work with people that he likes, which are women.  He became the escort recruiter for the Revelations.  He even got the same training as most assassins do so he’s very experienced with using guns. But while working for the Revelations he noticed there was something not so special like how it was for the Cessations. And knowing his previous love-interest from the past happens to the the leader of the Cessations, he gave the leader all the information he knew to join the Cessations.   

Lorenzo was actually the meaning behind Katerina’s background. He got her into the crime life. When they were younger they had quite a romantic flame before Katerina going to prison to going to death roll. Now he wants to rekindle their relationship.

Was a close friend to Glenn Johnson before becoming a traitor to the Revelations. Glenn is one of the relationships he wished was still the same. He enjoys training with him and talking about life. And is upset that he wasn’t there when Glenn’s relationship didn’t work out.

Lorenzo works closely with Eris, but notices how she likes to control everything at the brothel. He wishes he had some power to the brothel house rather than just giving Eris all the ladies.

He takes private lessons from Pietro. Since he is only a recruiter he misses some of the training as most gang members. On days the gym is not crowded by assassins training, Pietro shows him a few moves.

♔ NAME: Dawie Azikiwe 

♔ HOMETOWN: Bamako, Africa 

♔  AFFILIATION: Cessations

Some men are meant to be good men. To be knights in shining armor, champions of the people and of all that is good. However there are those men who don’t wear white hats and who are frankly undeserving of them. Those are the men who don’t protect the innocent, who aren’t afraid to bathe in blood, who possess tarnished armor and  tortured souls; the men who exist in the shadows and live among darker things then those lily white upholders of peace. Dawie is such a man. He didn’t always used to be. There was once a time a little boy might not have turned into a shadow, an artist with a knife and a fearsome protector. Dawie was born into a world that had been kind for a brief flicker of a moment before it was snatched from a child barely older then a toddler first learning to walk. Half-cast. Half-breed. The little boy who would grow up far too fast could still hear their insidious and evil remarks at that school and in his home because he was a child who did not get the chance to choose whom his parents were. Growing up in seclusion, growing up in isolation from friends (if he’d ever had any) Dawie grew quiet, intelligent, calculative, and deadly. A dog could only be kicked so often before it snapped back and only a moment after that would it be put down or taught to fight. The bullying had only gone too far once and Dawie didn’t even have to take the last punch before a hand grabbed him and pulled him back. The hand however didn’t scold him, didn’t beat him or even expel him… the hand pulled him backwards and told him he could have finished the bully three moves earlier.

Her name was simply O. Whether t stood for something or not Dawie would never know but O’s blood red nails pulled the boy back and offered him her card and told him that if he decided to when his schooling was finished that there would always be a home for him with them and that they always took care of one of their own – that he would be one of their own and Dawie said yes. The thought of acceptance drew him in and pulled him down, down into the darkness where Dawie would lose himself and only Dawie would immerge. The things he did for O – the training he’d undergone to be what he had become came to him easily. The kills came quickly, the jobs harder than the last but still effortless and the more he was accepted into this family of spies the deeper he sunk until he drew the line himself. It was his first and final job with O’s organization in Rome and he found himself assessing his target. She was innocent and sweet, delicate beyond belief and something about her made him stop – made him realize that his family wasn’t much of a family and like everyone else it had only used him. It was luck he ran into an old acquaintance, Angelo Sorrentino and only by luck that he broke off his ties with O and her organization and joined the Cessations. He had a unique skill set unlike any other and though the two men had been rivals they were even better friends and Dawie would not wear the white hat or be a knight in shining armor but he was recruited by the devil, befriended by the man to protect the leader of the gang that was truly a family – he’d protect Katerina.

At first through rivalry and now partnership, Angelo  and Dawie are what you would consider old friends if either of them had friends long enough to be called old friends. It’s interesting to see them compete against each other in a way sort of like brothers and he’s the one who brought Dawie into the gang. Where Angelo might very likely be the devil in his own mind Dawie is a friend of the man only fittingly so. As for Katerina – he’s bound to her side. Always there ready to take a bullet or do dirty work if need be. Yes Angelo thinks he’s appointed himself as her own personal guard but we all full well know that Dawie is the one who protects her from everything even Angelo if need be. He admires the woman very much so believing her to be an incredibly feisty woman. One of the few he’d preferably not piss off.

The man isn’t right to Dawie and that is saying something. He’s extremely weary of Quentin and he’s making attempts to befriend the edgy and distant man to find out real motives; to find out if he is loyal at all because if he’s not he’d gladly be the first person to break him if Lena doesn’t get the chance to first if any suspicion is proved true.

Dawie thinks Leonardo an absolute idiot. Despite the fact he is friends with Angelo who is friends with Dawie he fails to understand anything about this kid and doesn’t ever intend to care about the air-headed dealer.

As long as this message goes through, I'm pretty sure the ask box is working?

Yes! It finally is! I honestly have no idea what happened. I was playing with the theme’s coding and then I was testing out the pages and noticed the faq ask box wasn’t working and then went to our actual /ask think and it wasn’t working either. Good to know it fixed itself somehow.

[thisisroma--rpg-blog]

Currently, TIR is going through some odd technical difficulties. Our ask/faq box is currently unavailable for the moment. If you have any questions you may send message the main through its instant messenger or even our submit box if it’s very lengthy. I am unsure when our ask box will reappear, but if you notice it working please use the ask box for any questions. This is just a random post I am letting out if the ask doesn’t fix itself (somehow).

♔ NAME: Eris De Luca

♔ HOMETOWN: Rome, Italy

♔  AFFILIATION: Cessations

A little older, and much more wise, Eris is on top of the world. Both her career and status in the city she calls home has only elevated within the past four years. With the new laws and enforcements by the government, the Piacere brothel is at the top of its game. People travel from every corner of the country for a glimpse of “Eris’ beauties”. Four years ago, Eris’ beloved brothel was in shambles, the woman begging the Cessation leader for any type of support or funds. Things have certainly turned around for the better. Working closely with the Cessation escort recruiters, in particular Charles, Eris can have full reign on her little world.

There are still issues of course. With the plentiful amounts of girls living within her brothel walls, there are certainly going to be drama. Most of her days are spent pulling apart the cat fighting girls she calls daughters. With a firm grasp, Eris plans on controlling her girls a bit more and meanwhile focusing on her more private life, whether that involves a sexual partner or two. Man or woman, Eris always has an eye out for a beautiful person to share her quarters with.

Most of her days are spent communicating with Charles, who has become a close business partner and friend.

Considers all her escort to be equivalents of her daughters. Often refers to them as “her girls”.

Once slept with Salvatore in order to protect her brothel and girls. Since then, she remains cordial with the man but their conversations often turn into spats.
