Properties[]
Being among the most esteemed archetypes, blue bloods are defined as upper-class characters, with a significant level of power over others. However, they are not Monarchs (Kings, Queens, Emperors, Empresses, etc) being the royal subjects or cohorts of these characters. Most blue bloods have either inherited their nobility and status, achieved it through promotion and achievement, or knighthood. These characters often play more active roles, than their regal superiors, many with great purpose, dignity and elegance that comes with their title.
At their most villainous, blue bloods hunger for power, subjection, and conquest. Often going to extreme lengths, to claim the title of their supreme hierarchy. However lighter examples, show them as more benevolent and even polite/poise individuals, unspoiled and mannerly, contrasting their benefits to aid those beneath them. A blue blood isn't specifically good nor evil, depending on the moral of the character. Since they're either haughty, snobbish villains or well-mannered, admirable heroes.
