Can I be Your Enemy?

[Regulus Reinbach]

Regulus Reinbach, 16, Slytherin

So, I know I've been in talks with some of you about various plots already, but I've realized I have come up short on one key aspect of Regulus' personality. So far he is without enemies/rivals and those are some of his favorite people. Regulus is arrogant and definitely not afraid to instigate conflict. He's been raised to believe he's wizard royalty and he acts like it. Gryffindors are ideal rivals because of the natural opposition of the two houses, but Regulus can be just as likely to but heads with a fellow serpent. Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws don't feel left out, I know you have feelings too and if those feelings include a strong distaste for cocky Slytherin playboys then step on up.

So what do you say? Who's seeing red?


*side note: If you just clicked this thread because of the catchy title, and/or are interested in a plot not relating to becoming Reg's enemy, you can still feel free to post your ideas below, or just PM me.

If it hasn't been made obvious already, Slytherins have a thing for hating Giovanni. Despite never doing anything to them personally, they hate him for the fact that he doesn't accept his family's beliefs and see him as a blood traitor. The Napolitanos are in deep with the Dark Lord and every one of his siblings have been in Slytherin.

It's probably a bit too easy to offer up Gio as an enemy/rival, but I'm doing it anyway. With all the harassment he's endured from them over the years, I feel like itwould start slowly pushing him over the edge by now. He's normally a chill guy who keeps to himself. Doesn't antagonize anyone unless they do so to him. I could see him starting not to have a problem with fighting someone who continues to push his buttons.

If you have interest in something long-term, I'm game. I have him as being neutral right now but if you have something set up for Regulus I could probably adapt easily. Your call though. Let me know.

Excellent. Reg's honestly less concerned with the whole "blood traitor" thing, it's your loyalty/utility to him that he cares about. Of course that doesn't mean he's above picking on Giovanni to maintain his reputation within his house.

What really matters is Gio's ability to fight back, at the very least in a verbal capacity. Regulus would get very bored very quickly if Gio just took the abuse, there's no sport in that. The way I could see it starting is in classes. they're the same year so naturally they would share classes together, assuming Giovanni is as bright as his house would suggest if he participated in class enough for Reg to note him as an intellectual rival it would be grounds for him to mock or even start altercations with the Ravenclaw in attempt to intimidate him, and establish his superiority...Does that sound like it could work?

I definitely like the idea of Giovanni being near the edge, Regulus would love nothing more than to be the one to finally push him to the breaking point.

I don't have too much in mind long term, definitely open to just seeing what happens. Reg's kind of on a dark descent right now, so I've been letting him play a lot things out. If you have any particular direction you want to go or get any ideas, let me know.

Gio knows how to hold his own. There's no doubt about that. He feels he is exceptionally good at countering Slytherin attacks with his own. Often tending to make them leave in a huff by successfully defending himself with his own words. Since he is smart enough to be in Ravenclaw, he doesn't need time to think about how to insult someone.

I'm fine with the idea you've come up with. Gio is usually quiet in class but when he answers a question, he usually stands out for being detailed. He keeps to himself so it would certainly have to be Reg to approach him. That's only on account of the daily harassment he endures from the Slytherins. He wants to avoid confrontation with them at all costs for his own peace of mind.

Gio would absolutely loathe Reg if he was finally the straw that broke the camel's back. Gio prides himself on his patience and not succumbing to the normal temperments of his family. He wants nothing to do with them so even displaying a small portion of typical family behavior would make him incredibly frustrated with himself.

I don't have anything set in mind either. We should probably thread and see how they post together. With that said, let's get something started.

Hi there! :] So I'm doubting that they'd see red, but if you're interested in plotting, then so am I! Minka is a 7th year Slytherin, so she and Regulus probably would have had plenty of time to get to know each other over the years. Let me know if you want to plot, and we can work something out? :]

[Regulus Reinbach]

I am definitely down for some plotting. Same year, same house, and both on the quidditch team tells me we could have plenty of history to work with (or not if we prefer.) Did you have anything particular in mind?

[Deleted]

I did indeed have something in mind! It's nothing earth-moving at this point, but it's something haha! Perhaps you'll be able to build on it. Shall we discuss via PM?

So I can foresee some major house rivarly happening between Ridley and Regulus. Ridley has a knack for trying to pop the overinflated egos of Slytherin playboys, so I'm more than willing to count Ridley as an enemy. In fact, we might be able to cook up something even more interesting for a plot if you're up for it? =) I haven't made up a profile for Ridley yet, but check out her personal page here and here for her sorting page, for a brief overview of the girl.

Alexandria & Regulus: These two could flirt for sure, seeing as that is one thing Alexandria is good at.. Granted it would amount to nothing more than a one night stand once she figures out you are on the quidditch team with Lucianna vanderwoods..

Lucianna & Regulus: These two are on the same team for quidditch, and also Lucianna is the prefect for their house.. These two for sure would know each other, But plottage wise it would depend upon how they act towards each other.


Feel free to stop on by my plotter and leave ideas, or pm if you prefer.. Any ideas are welcome!

I'm going to attempt to revive this thread. I'm looking for some more plotty type thing to do with Regulus. I got all busy and haven't been around a lot but I'm trying to fix that. And I think it's easier if I've got some good plot stuff going on. So, what do you say?
