You can do the snooty and dignified, wealth-obsessed sort of air... But I feel like a fun way to set them would be the well-known socialites, being very boisterous. Think of making the head of the family like a really good / convincing politician, who's able to speak well to others and be very jovial and captivating [Bard, eh? Eh?], and deals with the nitty-gritty behind the scenes.A rough example:Estrella Silverport, head of the Silverport family. Direct line herself, widowed of her husband from another family. The Silverports have long owned a successful trading company that deals in overland as well as oversea. A woman in her mid-40s, she is active and vocal at important social occasions, political meetings, and other big goings-on. Vivacious and well-articulated, she seizes a lot of sway on big decisions as soon as she enters a room. She manages the far-reaching prospects of the family business.Her son Retonio is active in the financial district of the locale and sees over the books of the business. He's none too loud, but his clever wit is quick and sharp. He can gauge a businessman's mettle after a quick conversation. Just as commanding a presence as her mother, Luccia Silverport works her magic on potential clients and business partners. She could likely talk the sword off a general. Smoothly as she seems to operate, there appears to be a deep, calculated purpose for anything she says. Younger members of the family are all trained in seafaring and swashbuckling. One, Bedart, in his late teens, acts as right hand to the captain of the local guard. So yeah, just something I thought up on the actively visible, vocal noble family front - and a front it may be, hahah. People putting on such a show often have something to hide. Interesting potential hooks!</blockquote>
