Planar Elitist (PWH)

__TOC__
: "It's because of where I'm from. It's all in the breeding. Because of that, I know how things really should be. I'd let you in on the dark, but I doubt someone like you would ever really understand it."
These berks are known for their less-than-desirable trait of thinking themselves better than most others for one reason or another. Some consider their home plane a standard by which all others must be measured. Racial pride engenders elitism, too. A planar elitist can be someone with a great deal of personal hubris, or he can be an outright bigot or snob.
BACKGROUND: Virtually any and all backgrounds, races, and locales have their share of elitists. Many planars point fingers at the folks from the Upper Planes as elitists. While some exist on the Lower Planes to be sure, it just seems like more elitists arise from the Upper Planes than from other places. Simply put, it's easier to feel that there's no place better than Elysium than to feel that way about the 43rd layer of the Abyss. That's not to say that there aren't fiendish elitists; it's just that they're easier to dismiss. Genasi are said to be planar elitists, and to a point it's true, although that's more a side effect of their being plane-touched than actual prejudice.
CHARACTER: People who feel superior because of their race or place of birth are common throughout the planes. A planewalker is sure to hear that dwarven armor forged in Mount Clangeddin is the finest in existence, or that no one knows how to throw a party like a bariaur, or even that the best artists come from Xaos. Racial or community pride is one thing—and it's not necessarily evil. However, contending that others are inferior to a body just because of their race or place of origin is never a good (as in alignment) conviction. True elitists are closed-minded braggarts who refuse to look at others as discrete individuals.
MOTIVATIONS: Planar elitists don't really have a single overwhelming motivation. Most of them, however, are out-spoken enough to constantly put other, "lesser" beings in their "place," either through outright insults or vague allusions.
ROLE-PLAYING: While pride is fine, true elitism is a trait best left to NPCs. A berk's not going to make many friends with this attitude, that's for sure.
