* SmallNameBigEgo: Roman in his early days. Even when he was still an enforcer, he had a seriously inflated ego.

!!This fic provides examples of:
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Neo wasn’t implied to be anywhere in the first season, but she shows up in Roman’s backstory.
* AtrociousAlias: A man named Stacy Greene insists on being called “the Stace,” something that is continuously lampshaded as being an incredibly stupid name.
* AxCrazy: Neo isn’t noted to be one of the sanest of individuals. She openly enjoys violence when Roman permits it. He even says she’d be a serial killer if she wasn’t working for him.
* [[BadassGay Badass Bisexual]]: Kincaid spends her downtime going after men and women to hook up with, and she is a mob boss who can go toe-to-toe with some truly dangerous people.
* BigBad: Violet Kincaid, Roman’s old mob boss. Roman may be [[VillainProtagonist bad]], but Kincaid is [[EvilerThanThou worse]].
* DarkActionGirl:
** Even in her fifties, Kincaid can still put up a fight.
** Neo is insanely competent as a fighter. Nearly to the point of being OP.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Roman shows genuine protectiveness over Neo. Despite his otherwise sociopathic nature, he does care about her. And the feeling is mutual.
* EvilVersusEvil: Roman goes up against his old mob boss, Kincaid, in a struggle for power.
* FauxAffablyEvil:
** Roman is quite the charmer. He’s always offering sarcastic comments and can try to win over people with his words. However, if he can’t, he’s all too happy to use force as well.
** Kincaid can be quite witty and charming and is able to build relationships with the underbosses. However, she’s still a sociopathic mob boss who will gut you like a fish if it’ll get her what she wants, you double-cross her, or [[ForTheEvulz she just feels like it]].
* GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave: Even in her sixties, Kincaid is still a bombshell.
* InMediasRes: The story starts with a cold-open of Roman and Dwight on an assignment for Kincaid. He doesn’t explain his backstory until after they take Cordovan.
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: While she’s not genuinely offended, this exchange between Kincaid and Roman has an example.
-->'''Kincaid:''' Oh, come on now, Roman. You’re gonna go breaking my heart.\\
'''Roman:''' You’d need a heart to break first, you old pervert.\\
'''Kincaid:''' Pssh. I’m not ''that'' old.
* LighterAndSofter: As much as you can for a story about organized crime. However, compared to the outright tragedies in [[FanFic/MyNameIsCinder the]] [[FanFic/AnEmeraldUnearthed other]] [[FanFic/TheBlackHearts fics]] (''especially'' the one preceding it), this one is a less depressing change of pace. There is also a lot more humor compared to the other fics.
* MsFanservice: Kincaid is a very sexual person and is noted to be quite attractive. She’ll often be wearing dresses or outfits that emphasize [[BuxomIsBetter her cleavage]] and loves showing off her good looks.
* {{Narcissist}}: Roman was written with narcissistic personality disorder in mind and it shows.
** Kincaid will find something to praise herself about at some point. Whether it be her [[ProudBeauty beauty]], her [[TheDon influence]], or her [[TheFightingNarcissist fighting ability]].
* TheSociopath:
** Violet Kincaid is a ruthless mob boss who will kill people to get what she wants and delights in causing people pain. She only cares about gaining a profit and maintaining power. While she doesn’t show any true empathy for others, she is incredibly charismatic and will often win people over with her wit or her charm. Her implied sexual behavior indicates her hedonistic tendencies. While she has an attraction to Roman that allows him to get away with doing stuff other people would get shot for, the attraction is purely sexual.
** Roman shows signs of this with his conduct disorders at a young age and his ease of killing people. He has no problem roughing up people to get what he wants out of them and gladly throws people under the bus if he thinks it will benefit him. He only shows any true empathy to Neo.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Roman and Dwight have this dynamic. Especially in the first chapter.
* VictoriasSecretCompartment: Emerald keeps some Dust rounds in there for emergencies.
* VillainProtagonist: Outside of ''{{FanFic/CRME}}'' itself, Roman is the only explicit case of this in ''FanFic/TheMakingsOfTeamCRME''. He spends his time in the story as an unapologetic mobster.
* WorldOfSnark: In this mob story, there’s plenty of snark to go around.
