ABOUT THE DARCYS

PUREBLOODED AND PROUD, THE DARCYS ARE AN OLD FAMILY, ABLE TO TRACE THEIR ANCESTORS ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE 16TH CENTURY. THEY'VE HAD A FIRM FOOT IN THE DOOR OF THE MINISTRY FOR AS LONG AS PEOPLE CAN REMEMBER, AND CONNECTIONS IN JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER FIELD TO BOOT.

OVER TIME THEY HAVE GARNERED MORE MONEY THAN ANYONE COULD POSSIBLY NEED, RUMOURED (AND IN SOME CASES QUITE RIGHTLY) TO BE EARNT FROM SOME UNSAVOURY ACTIVITIES. NEVERTHELESS, CHARMING CONFIDENCE, POWER AND A NATURAL AFFINITY TO LYING HAS KEPT THEM OUT OF ANY REAL TROUBLE.

IT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT THE DARCYS ARE TRADIONALIST IN THEIR VIEWS, WITH BACKWARD IDEAS LIKE THAT MUGGLEBORNS ARE AKIN TO DIRT COMMON AMONGST THEIR RANKS, AND THEIR VIEWS ON WOMEN ARE NO DIFFERENT. EXPECTED TO BEAR CHILDREN, LOOK PRETTY, MARRY WHO THEIR PARENTS SAY AND SUPPORT THEIR HUSBANDS NO MATTER WHAT, THEY ARE GENERALLY MARRIED OFF QUITE EARLY.

DISOWNMENT IS NOT OFTEN DONE, IT BEING SEEN AS A STAIN ON THE FAMILY'S MORE OR LESS PRISTINE REPUTATION (THOUGH SOME WOULD SAY IT HAS BEEN TAINTED WITH TALES OF CRUELTY AND PREJUDICE- ALL OF WHICH ARE TRUE). BUT THERE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT CAN GUARANTEE DISOWNMENT, RANGING FROM MARRYING A MUGGLEBORN (ABSOLUTELY NOT), TO RUNNING AWAY, TO GETTING PREGNANT BEFORE MARRIAGE. THOSE SORTED INTO GRYFFINDOR ARE ON THIN ICE.

DARCYS AND THOSE CLOSELY RELATED TO THEM ARE RECOGNISABLE BY BLONDE LOCKS.

About Oliver

Oliver Darcy is a pureblood wizard who has a very short temper & is very passionate about certain things in life; it is this passion that has given him the label of 'troublemaker'. However the fact is that during his time in school trouble always found him; this only pushed him in school to study harder so he could get out from under his parents thumb.

His parents always tried to instill certain beliefs upon him & all their children; however he simply never cared about what his parents believed. They barely tolerated it when he was sorted into Gryffindor because they felt the ratty old hat made a mistake. However they soon became less & less forgiving when Oliver joined the Quidditch team; all around really began to excel & come into his own as a person. They snubbed him for studying "Purebloods don't study" is what he'd hear; normally he chose to ignore everything his family said & just did whatever he wanted anyways which they didn't care for. Alas they assumed he'd grow out of it therefore they kept to their plans for him for summer vacation during his 4th year.

Summer time at his home was very melodramatic; his brother & sister both competing for their parents attention while he stayed in the library either studying or reading for fun. However this summer was VERY different; the first day of vacation a girl two years younger than Oliver came to stay at the house. This girl was VERY clingy and annoying; she was always around & wouldn't leave him alone. One day he'd had enough of it; honestly he thought she was there to play with his sister so what was the deal "Why don't you go away & leave me alone?" he screamed at the girl making her put her hands on her hips "Is that any way to talk to you future wife?" His eyes looked up from his book to look at this girl; he'd heard rumors through out his family about arranged marriages but the thought of that was insane. He could tell by the look in her eyes she was telling the truth; this wasn't the first time his parents order's had been challenged by him but this was the first time it went this far.

He exploded on his parents this day telling them he'd never participate in an arranged marriage & anyone who did was insane. On this day he packed up his Hogwarts trunk & left; he knew that by challenging his parents & leaving their home he was now officially disowned but he didn't care. He'd rather be alone & happy than under his parents insane ruling & totally miserable.

Roleplay: 
You come across one of these posts on the site. Please select one & reply as your character:

Option One -
Amelia Nixon was many things, but she was never a pushover reporter that people could just usher away with a busy shuffle past. She was dedicated and eager to cut to the very middle of the current political tensions because she was Amelia Nixon and her articles would most certainly become front page material.

“Sir, please! It’s for the Prophet, how do you feel-“

Another one brushed passed her, the shuffling busy masses making their way through Diagon Alley for the lunchtime rush. This had been the best possible time to get people, but none of them were giving her anything to go with.

Only momentarily discouraged, the short red headed lady took a seat on a nearby bench. Her quill resting in her left hand and her notepad ready in the opposite hand. Amelia pouted, tapping the quill against her leg as she scanned the waves of people for somebody - anybody - who looked like they had something to say.

She had been dreaming of her name in bold print, Amelia Nixon: The Source of Today’s Tomorrow. She had been dreaming of the larger office and the secretaries that would fetch her the morning coffee and fetch her anything she needed. The VIP interviews and the most exclusive press passes. But all Amelia had was a page seventeen piece on the rising number of frogs in London.

Hardened by a day of no success, the reporter stood up and started to trod off down the alley. A loose stone on the cobble path caught her heel, sending the distraught girl toppling down to the ground.

“Merlin’s fog watch, my heel is broken! Help!” she yelled as she tried desperately to recover her shoe frantically in the middle of the Diagon Alley moving crowds.

Roleplay Response:
Oliver had JUST taken down one nasty werewolf so truth be told he was totally high on life right now. Some might think of him as strange but taking out the werewolves like he does is like therapy for him & major confidence booster. He'd come to Diagon Alley for lunch when a pretty female voice caught his attention; his head turned to see the poor girl on the ground.

He hadn't any clue what was going on but she seemed very distraught so he went over to her; honestly surprised that so many people were walking past her like she wasn't even there. Oliver approached her & knelt next to her "Are you hurt?" he asked revealing his voice was deep & smooth as he noticed the heel of her shoe laid near by which he picked up "Did someone push you?" he voiced in wonder; honestly he wouldn't have been surprised since no one was paying her any attention at all.
