Our Race is Being Run

[Deleted]

Lucius Malfoy used to a be a respected member of the Wizarding society and a trusted lieutenant of the Dark Lord. Both of those are no longer true. He has managed to stay on the board of Governors for Hogwarts and keep his seat on the Wizengot even though he is an escaped criminal. And the fact that he was caught and put in Azkaban to begin with made him lose favor with the Dark Lord.

Friends: Lucius truthfully will not have many true friends. He is rather close to Severus Snape. And fellow Death Eaters he is fairly friendly with, though they may look down on him because of his fall from grace.

Enemies: This would be very vast and include members of the Order of the Phoenix, the Weasleys, and any non-Purebloods and blood traitors.

Lovers: Lucius is highly off limits, considering he is married to his true love.

Others: This might include owners of shops and those that might not hate him but likely don't exactly trust him.

Narcissa & Lucius

Lucius is not in particularly high standing with Narcissa right now. Though she's gotten to the point where she can tolerate being alone with him again, she's still not exactly happy in their relationship. She still loves him, of course, but she is highly disappointed. I'm not sure how this would affect Lucius and I won't pretend to, so you can fill in the blanks on that. I do think it's safe to say that there is considerable strain on their marriage. That said, Narcissa is honestly more concerned with rebuilding their reputation, as it has completely fallen to shambles, so at the very least Lucius can look forward to not being chastised every waking second of the day, but rather only when he does something that can be deemed detrimental.

Théodore & Lucius
Truthfully I think Théo, my 20 year old Death Eater and Obliviator probably thinks down on Lucius at this point. Théo has been going to great lengths to prove his loyalty, and the word of Lucius' getting acquitted of his crimes early on is probably enough to make him scoff. Lucius and Théodore would likely know each other through family, as Théo is the son of two very influencial purebloods, Alexandre Rochfort and Annaleigh Parkinson. He also would know Théodore through Draco, as they would have gone to school together for about two years. If you've got any ideas for these two let me know.

Lucius & Narcissa: He is less concerned about their reputation (although he still wants to rebuild it but mostly for Narcissa and Draco's sake than anything) and more worried about his family safety and happiness. I can see him beating himself up for her not wanting to be alone with him and knowing exactly why. And trying to mix their marriage. He will be glad not to be chastised by her when doesn't deserve it. He gets that enough besides. A thread between them?

Lucius & Theodore: Yeah, not many Death Eaters approve of Lucius right now so that won't bother him. I'm not sure what plots they could have but we could have a thread and see where it goes?

[DRACO LUCIUS MALFOY]

Draco & Lucius

Draco loves his father and is fiercely devoted to him regardless of his failings. To Draco, his parents are absolutely everything that matters, and restoring the pride of the Malfoy name is his top priority. He is determined to succeed in the Dark Lord's mission not for his own glory, but to restore some of his mother and father's. He cannot bear the disrespect his parents are being treated with, and the effects of Azkaban on Lucius horrify him. Draco has convinced himself that if he succeeds, his father will regain his usual pride in himself and the shadows under the man's eyes will go away.

Severus & Lucius

Severus has always respected Lucius and, like Draco, is appalled by the way the man is treated in his own home. All the same, Severus does not show Lucius pity - to do so would be an exceptional insult. He treats Lucius with the same manner of gravity he always has, though most recently he has shown Lucius a more stubborn side of himself. Pulling Lucius from capture was a considerable risk on Severus' end, but Severus has lost enough friends in this war already. He will not tolerate Lucius getting himself - or, Merlin forbid - Narcissa or Draco killed. Here is the thread where Severus rescued Lucius if you would like to do a bit of back reading - otherwise, I would be happy to continue on where they left off. Perhaps a meeting at the manor to discuss Draco's current state?

Lucas & Lucius

Lucas Mulciber was a year mate with Severus and before his deflection from the Dark Lord, had a somewhat friendly acquaintance with him. Lucas held Lucius as an equal, and for one as proud as Lucas that was a considerable compliment. He too took considerable issue with Lucius' fall from grace and the resulting treatment he received, though that hardly matters now all things considered. If they met on the battlefield, Lucas would grant Lucius a pass - but only so long as Lucius walked away. If Lucius challenged him, Lucas would fight to disarm, not kill, the Malfoy patriarch. Sides switched or not, Lucas still counts Lucius as a worthy wizard and would consider his death a waste.

[Deleted]

Lucius & Draco: Lucius maybe a bit hard on his son but he does love him. And he feels extremely responsible for the position that Draco was put in. Perhaps a father/son thread?

Lucius & Severus: Lucius views Snape as one of his few friends. He would not entrust his son to just anyone. Plus, he likely feels indebted to Snape for keeping him from getting arrested. A thread discussing Draco would be cool.

Lucius & Lucas: I'm guessing they would be semi-friendly towards each other? Lucius would likely understand a bit what being hunted feels like since Lucius is an Azkaban escapee. Not sure when they could meet but I'm sure we can work something out?

[DRACO LUCIUS MALFOY]

Draco & Lucius

I feel this should definitely be arranged. Severus would likely permit Draco to Floo home if Lucius requested it, so something at the manor perhaps?

Severus & Lucius

Severus is quite honored by Lucius' friendship to be sure, and likely always will be. I'd be happy to start one of these two threads if you want to grab the other?

Lucas & Lucius

I imagine Lucas will be floored by Lucius' support, and will likely caution Lucius to steer clear of him. He's not the best at being kind, but he would not want Lucius harmed or interrogated on his behalf. That said, he'd be happily bemused to suggest better ways for Lucius to conceal himself in public - perhaps Lucius went in search of something down in Knockturn and Lucas could bump into him there, pull him aside and ask what the devil he thinks he's doing, that blond hair is a dead giveaway? XD

[Deleted]

Lucius & Lucas: I can see him being arrogant enough to think that wearing a simple basic disguise will get him not caught and be rather upset (though he'd hide it) at anyone recognizing. Or he might completely forgo a disguise. >.> Might be a fun thread

The other two: The Draco idea sounds good. I can start the Severus one?

[THE PHOENIX]

Lucas will laugh at him, call him Princess, and set about showing him how to disguise himself properly so he doesn't waltz back into Azkaban xD

Sounds like a plan to me! Im off work in about 40 minutes, and will be kicking out rp posts as soon as I get home!

Lucius & Snape: Meeting in the Dark

[Deleted]

Lucius & Raphael

Hey there Lucy. Raphael Bolton is a talkative and fearless criminal who is also a werewolf. He does illegal things like smuggling valuable artifacts, dark artifacts, drug, yadda yadda, that kind of stuff. So i figure Lucy might wanna ask for his service (or maybe he did before). The problem is, he will be one hell of a nuisance to Lucy with his personality. He's also a Kleptomaniac, so maybe if he were to follow Fenrir into the manor, he may try to snatch some cool stuffs. That'll be a problem, considering that Lucy would never let him get away with it. XD

So, what do ya think?

[Deleted]

Never call Lucius Lucy to his face if Raphael wants to live I can see Lucius being annoyed by Raphael talking a lot. Though he'd generally be polite towards him if he was useful, unless he tries to steal something from Lucius. Then he might get hexed into oblivion >.> But a thread of some sort? Lucius could either be buying something rather illegal (AKA Dark Artifact) or trying to pawn it off.

[Deleted]

Of course not, Lucy dear. I want to keep my head on my neck, thank you XDDD

Yeah, sounds good to me if Lucius want to do business with him. Oh, currently I'm working on a post for the mini attack event with Lucy too. Unless you want 1 more thread, we can just stick to that one.

[Deleted]

Perhaps just the mini-event thread for now?

[Deleted]

Okay then :3 I already posted there this morning ^^
