Pure-Blood Process

[Nicolas King]

Well, after a fair deal of thinking and discussion I am more than pleased to say that we now have a pureblood process that will suit Hogwarts New Zealand.

This process will be somewhat similar to those we've had in the past in that you will personal message an application to a member of this site who will then reply to you with your approval, or if you've not been approved how you might be able to be approved. All members who have been previously officially approved as pure-bloods (under the process run by Sophia Stark) will not need to apply again.
Here is the official run down:

If your character is a pure-blood both of their parents are magical, and all of their grandparents and so on. It means a 'muggle' was never married and that all ancestors have been magical. That being said, it is very obvious that this must be quite impossible. J.K Rowling has stated that 'true' pure-bloods do not exist in the magical world, and that any family that claims to be entirely 'pure' has simply erased muggles and squibs from their family trees. With this knowledge in mind we have set our definition of a 'Pureblood' to be that all great-grandparents and any direct ancestors below them were all magical. This, of course, also means that your character can have two magical parents and still not be a 'pure-blood'.

Becoming a Pure-blood
With all of that established becoming a pure-blood is fairly simple. An application is filled you and sent to this member. It will then be processed and replied to. If your application is accepted you will be able to legitimately role play your character as a pure-blood and all that that may entail for your character. Otherwise, you may apply again or simply decide that your character can be just as interesting without being a pure-blood. We will be accepting no applications that have canon relationships. No applications that claim to hold canon ties will be accepted, it's far too much work to fit other characters into the canon and keep tabs on everything so the simplest solution is to not have any.
The status of 'pure-blood' is clearly very rare so not all applicants will be able to become, regardless of how 'good' they may believe their application to be.

The Form

This is the form we request you send to the user titled "Anonymous" When applying

Login Name:
Character's Age and Your Age: (You may be general with your age )
Character's House (If they attended Hogwarts):
Occupation (If not a student):

Why do you desire for your character to become a pure-blood?
How would being a pure-blood affect your character and your role plays with them?
How is your character a pure-blood? (List any canon relationships, relationships to other members of this site, family history etc.)
If your character was not a pure-blood would it drastically change them or your development of them? If so, how?

That's it! So just send that off via this link and ensure it is well thought out.

Thank you all for your patience as we developed this process and tried to work out exactly how it would affect things,
