Slytherin Elites... H'okay guys. There is always a group of snobby Slytherin purebloods, or at least snobby Slytherins. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas?
My character Bebe is the type to casually let people flock to her. She's a low-level pureblood, but looking to move upwards and willing to do many unsavory things to get there. I can see her perhaps dating someone that is a higher-level pureblood, but there would be no romance, at least on her side. She's not a romantic. She'll sleep with him though.  As for girls, friends are always good. Bebe is friendly, despite the Slytherin stereotype, and likes to have friends, and not even just for personal gain. She's really nice most of the time.
So, do we want to put together a hierarchy of sorts? Do we want to just let things flow and see how it goes? I can't plot this without you guys, so anyone who writes a Slytherin/pureblood, speak your mind!
Note: This is not exclusive to purebloods.[\blockquote] |

HEY! I agree that we definately need some plot between the purebloods. I think a group of pureblood/Slytherin snobs would be wonderful!
Let me offer up Alice... she is a second order and is very focused on helping her family achieve the highest level of pureblood status but I can see her hanging out with Bebe since Bebe is afterall still a pureblood. Alice might keep her close since she is nice and doesn't want personal gain. A far as thier friendship is concerned I see Alice being more dominate in thier friendship.
I think there needs to be a group of pureblood princesses that sort of rule the house and run the show. They could be a dynamic group with one mission... to have a good time and to show off thier pureblood wealth and status. If anyone is interested let me know and we can sort of work it out!

That sounds good to me so far. Bebe is ambitious, but very relaxed.She woulnd't really be the type to get together with the group to gossip or plot to ruin someones social status, but she'd definitely be in the room to at least be aware of what's going on. She's not really the queen bee type, but feels superior to others. so, she'd be a part of the group, but as to who the inevitable leader is, someone else can take that one. |

This bother's me slightly in that this makes it sound like the Purebloods are going to be abundant in Slytherin, which isn't [and shouldn't be] the case. Purebloods are not so prominent and the amount of families around are going to be rather limited. So quite frankly, Slytherin is going to be home to far more Mixed-bloods than Purebloods.
So to be honest, if we have another character app for a Slytherin and Pureblood, Lee and I will probably force the person to change one or both of those parts. Part of the reason why I'm not rushing to bring my Isaac Hawkwell over here yet (though as I told Lee, if he comes here, he's a First Order no matter if we have them filled).
I'm not saying there aren't more Purebloods in Slytherin, but they are a minority in all the houses. So it's quite possible that Bebe and Alice could be the only high up ones in their House--certainly in their year.
This isn't like on TEC where they weren't so restricted and we had a larger range to work with. There will certainly be more Fifth Order Purebloods around--those who are New-Ranking, in that they have Muggle-blood in their ancestry but it's still far enough back that they could be accepted.
Lee, you want to get in on any of this? |

Well, I did say it didn't have to be only purebloods. It's literally my second sentence. Regardless, the rarity of purebloods is that much more of a reason for them to stick together, and so far most of the Slytherins on the board are purebloods. I'm not encouraging everyone to make pureblood Slytherin characters, but even if I did that's not up to me. I don't get a say in which characters are accepted and how many of them are purebloods. |

Mostly I'm just trying to drive home the WD-Pureblood concept as the title of your Thread is Misleading. If the title is Misleading then it's more likely to end up a discussion based more solely on Purebloods rather than say, Upper-Class characters.
As already, with Rebecca's reply with Alice you have a focus already honing in on Purebloods rather than Monetary social class (I didn't want to just say social class, and I'm also aware that she would focus in that direction because her character is a pureblood).
So while you do mention not just purebloods, your thread here is basically pointing at them, and hence I wanted to make sure this information is out on the table.
I'm not against pureblood plotting or anything like that! I'm just trying to make sure everyone is aware of the Blood status as it is on WD, as this is different than at TEC. Obviously this will make for more interesting RP as the Pureblood status is considered ELITE for those of traditional values--especially if they believe in the pureblood supremacy--but as I said, I want to make it known the at Hogwarts the Purebloods are a Minority.
It would be almost interesting if they, themselves, were actually bullied in response. As this is a time period where roles are shifting and people are trying to find footing. As there are high standing Mixed-Blood families now, so that purebloods can't rely simply on the power of their family to protect them, you know? You have many people who don't even care if someone is pureblood, so there are many chanaces where Purebloods who love that about themselves could be basically ignored or given a "so what" attitude with no response to "how great they are" or even groups that even target the purebloods now ...
You know a sort reversal of the "Mud-blood" idea... |

I've edited the title and first post accordingly. Though I do think the idea of being anti-pureblood or indifferent as to blood status is a great, intriguing idea, that's for the non-purebloods to figure out. At most I can see maybe one character in the group feeling thus way, but perhaps over time it breaks the group apart? A social uprising of sorts where the purebloods become hated and out casted, and the mixed bloods or even muggleborns become the novelty. Personally I'd rather do the regular plot first for several reasons, but I'm not opposed to jumping straight to this, if that's what everyone wants. That's why I'm asking for ideas, so we can all figure out what we want. |

Technically, Purebloods being target could very well already be going on as something already going on in this AU HP RP, and perhaps it's another reason for these girls to form these groups--to have each others as they face a "common enemy."
As Lee liked to keep pointing out to me, WD takes places over a 100 years after the Golden Trio. Things are bound to have changed. |

Right, but again, that's just what I'd prefer. It's not my decision to make, not alone, at least. Anyways, it's not just girls, boys are welcome as well. Even a professor or two on their side would be cool. |

As far as Bebe and Alice.. I can see them being friends and being involved in this group together. I can see Alice sort of as the head of the group since she loves to watch people and she loves to know everything about everyone.
But yeah... let me know. I love plotting and fun!

Works for me. Like I said, Bebe isn't the leading type. She would have influence, as she tends to get what she wants and has a lot to bribe people with, but definitely not in charge.
Did you like the idea of some characters having a prejudice against purebloods? I'm really intrigued by it. |

I'd like to throw Hannah into the mix here. She's a mean-hearted, first-order pureblood Slytherin. Don't know where you guys would like to put her, but I think she'd definitely be part of this 'group'
I also like the idea of a prejudice against purebloods, but I think Hannah would just ignore it and continue on with life as if she were the queen of everything.

Although I don't really see Isaac taking part or being interested in this type thing, I do see him being involved just for his social status as a high level First Order Pureblood.
He'll play along with things, but really he doesn't care and if their issues are stupid enough he won't hesitate to say it. But if there are purebloods in this grouping, Isaac will probably be involved as he needs to interact with those in his "social circle" to stay in the "perfect pureblood son," and chances are some of these girls may be vying (whether of their own accords or the pushing of their parents) for Isaac's attention due to his family status.
So yeah...
Edt,, we definitely need some more guys in this >.> as currently, my Isaac is surrounded by girls ... I just realized this looking at plot sheets replies between Alice and Bebe ... as he's family acquaintances/friendly with Alice and Bebe is trying to plot something with him ... and like all the pureblood students here so far are girls except Isaac ... geeze...
