Hello lovelies, I am back and throwing Barney's hat into the Ministerial ring! With that, I need some things!

I HAVE AN IMMEDIATE NEED FOR...

• Half-breeds
  
• 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 etc. breeds
  
• Friends/family who have been effected by the half-breed ban
  
• Werewolves
  

Barney's campaign's main focus is on equality for halfbreeds and werewolves.
The second focus is on treating women better, not so much as equals, but better. xD

What I need with the above list are testimonials, threads, etc. that Barney can use as fodder for sob stories to appeal to the voting community and make them feel guilty/righteous about the mistreatment of half-breeds and werewolves.

• Campaign Manager | This boy is going to need someone amazing at PR, probably will have a personal interest in helping Barney (likely political or personal gain, rather than out of the goodness of their heart because let's face it - Barney is an ass), should be UC/MC, any blood status. Will need to be an active character because THIS WORK IS GONNA BE REAL. Threads for handing out pamphlets, discussions, events, etc. Talk Barney up into being a good person! Would be fun if this was a woman to make him constantly fight his sexist tendencies, but not required.
  
• Campaign Workers | Same as above, but not in charge. Talk Barney up yo. Would have some connections or ways to brush shoulders with the people who can actually vote.
  
• Sponsors | Barney is MC and doesn't have a ton of money to invest - he has some, but not as much as would be required to get him in the public eye - so would need some sponsors to hit him up and offer to help him pay. l'm thinking they would owl him after they see the announcement in the DP of his intention to run.
  

— Other Things —

---

• Smear Campaign | Calling all #haters! Write DP articles, egg his house, hex him, curse him, etc. (because after all, there's no such thing as bad publicity.)
  
• Catching Up | I've been out of RPing Barney for just about a year. What's he missed? What threads should we have had/do we need to have? What relationships need to be sorted out? I need him to have been busy with things aside from avoiding @'Amelia Evans'!
  

Also, for those of you who want to support Barney in your sigs... ;P

Apologies but I don't think I have anyone for you at the moment apart from auntie Morwenna. Her opinion on his campaigning is probably "Well, you can't be worse than some of the others" but she's still slightly bitter she doesn't get a vote so I'm not sure what she would contribute to his bid other than dignity :P

Please feel free to imagine Martha is exasperated but low-key supportive in a way that won't make him forget she loves him but also won't make her friends think she agrees with anything he says.

Everyone knows Topaz is a werewolf, and everyone knows where she lives, and everyone knows where she is three nights out of the month. It'd be really easy for Barney to arrange a meeting with her if he was so inclined. She would be very hesitant to try and help his campaign but if he hit the right buzzwords she might be persuaded.

^ Conversely no one knows @'Kieran Abernathy' is a werewolf but he is an intrepid (er, kind of) reporter and also an asshole who is suspicious of optimists and would 100% try to press Barney's buttons to see if he could catch him in a lie.

I have no half-breeds but @'Barrett Keene' is Gryffindor HOH and is trying very hard not to publicly have half-breed ban opinions because he doesn't want to get fired.

Awesome! Would you want to do it by way of a thread or letters?

please press all of the buttons Would Kieran ask him for an interview or come to Barney's campaign event and publicly question him or...?

xD Not quite sure what to do with Barrett, but squee about how cute he is.

  

[Ophelia Dippet]

He wouldn't be able to arrange a meeting with her unless he talked to Balt first, so letters or some kind of ambush/ "chance meeting" is more feasible! :) Letters might be sliiiiightly more likely to persuade her but it totally depends on what he says, so it's up to you! I can go with whichever one you think he'd go for. ^^

@'Aldous Crouch' Can we assume Balt would agree to a meeting if he was present? Or would allow Barney to write sympathetic letters to Topaz? Barney feels like a creeper just owling a young girl. xD

Would have to be mail - Balt is not about to let his daughter be used as a political pawn D<

The Mohrs are technically one of the out halfbreed/Veela families and Adasia brought the ban upon herself got expelled from Hogwarts... I wouldn't say they'd be keen on being used as a sob story, but Edward  will be looking for the most Veela-friendly candidate to vote for, so if Barney is promising awesome things for halfbreeds, Edward might be convinced.

I imagine @'Mortimer Skeeter' is hanging around at his campaign events and stuff, but might be doing more damage than help if he talks to people about Barney... unless Barney tells him off/bribes him to be useful somehow. xD

@'Ephraim Vablatsky' has some hag relatives he begrudgingly cares about and is a grumpy old guy that might actually see something in Barney. Not keen on too much ~feminism, but still a potential voter/supporter?

@'Jude Wright' is happy to interrogate his political platform.
