The Ro-Bloods are a primarily BloxAfrican-Robloxian street gang founded in South Bloxburg, State of Bloxburg Valley. The gang is widely known for its rivalry with the Ro-Crips. It is identified by the red color worn by its members and by particular gang symbols, including distinctive hand signs, which are similar to the Ro-Crips, which wear blue clothing and having different hand signs. Their goal is to have Bloxburg secede from Robloxia during the 2013 Bloxburg Riots so that their rioting will not be interrupted by armed force interventions.

Origin
The Ro-Bloods gang was formed initially to compete against the influence of the Ro-Crips in Bloxburg. The rivalry originated in the late 1960s when Raymond Bloxington and other Crips attacked Sylvester Sblox and Benson Rowens, two students at Bloxentennial High School in South Bloxburg. As a result, Sblox formed the Shiru street-gang, the first "Ro-Bloods" gang. Rowens subsequently established the Southwest Shiru gang. The Ro-Bloods was initially formed to provide members protection from the Crips. Many of the non-Crip gangs used to call one another "ro-blood". On March 21, 1972, shortly after a concert featuring Wilson Bloxkett and Curti Mayday, 20 youths belonging to the Ro-Crips attacked and robbed Robertson Balla Jr. outside the Cineblox Palladium. Balla was beaten to death after refusing to give up his leather jacket. The sensational media coverage of the crime and the continued assaults by the Ro-Crips increased their notoriety. Several non-Crips gangs formed during this period were no match for the Ro-Crips and became concerned with the escalating Ro-Crip attacks. The Shirus, White D. Stones, and other gangs not aligned with the Ro-Crips often clashed with them. On June 5, 1972, three months after Balla's murder, Fredrick "Lil Country" Garrblox was murdered by a Westside Ro-Crip. This marked the first Ro-Crips murder against another gang member and motivated non-Crip gangs to align with each other. The Brims struck back on August 4, 1972, by murdering Thomspon Ellison, an original Westside Ro-Crip. By late 1972, the Shirus held a meeting in their neighborhood to discuss growing Ro-Crip pressure and intimidation. Several gangs that felt victimized by the Ro-Crips Crips joined the Shirus to create a new federation of non-Crips neighborhoods. This alliance became the Bloods. The Shirus are therefore considered the founders of the Bloods.
