Blood Purity Notes
As America is known as the melting pot, there will be more Muggleborns and Half-Bloods then Purebloods. We may deny your application if we have too many of one kind.
Rules for Writing your Application
[/b][/color]- Fill out everything fully Applications will not be accepted if the fields are not completely filled out and correct.
- Spelling and Grammar COUNT. Please spell and grammar check your profile BEFORE posting.
- Use proper spacing and indenting. There should be no indentions and a space between each paragraph to make it more readable.
- Dates must be true to the time line. Example: It is currently 2007, so 17 year old students would have been born in 1990).
Restrictions
- No Ridiculous, Stolen or Canon names. If you can prove your name is an actual name and that it has some real connection to your character, we may allow it.
- Keep crazy makeup/hair colors/clothes, tattoos, and piercings to a minimum.
- No Suicidal or Insane characters. This is depressing to other RPers and could hit too close to home. Also, the insanity causes a safety issue for students.
- If you read this, write 'Spork' in the word verification section.
- Homosexuality/Bisexuality is accepted, however, since it may offend some people, please keep it in moderation.
- No Muggle technology or Anime freaks. We understand that if you were raised a muggle, you may like these things. However, this is a school for magic, so technology will not work in the halls (except for the school provided wizard TV's and Radios). You can like muggle music and Anime, but do not name specific names of bands, Sports stars,series or modern books. Classical books are accepted.
- Blood Purity. America has more muggleborn and Half-bloods. So Strictly purebloods are rare.
- NO Canon References. You are not a canon character, related to a canon character or even know a canon character outside of their name and reputation. Unless the book names a character that lives in America, they will not be there.
Blood Purity Notes
As America is known as the melting pot, there will be more Muggleborns and Half-Bloods then Purebloods. We may deny your application if we have too many of one kind.
- Purebloods have both parents and grandparents as wizards.
- Muggleborns have both parents as muggles.
- Halfbloods can be 1 of 3 types:
Type 1: One parent is a muggle, one is a wizard.
Type 2: One parent is a muggleborn (Both parents are muggles)
Type 3: One or more of your grandparents is a muggle. - You can be considered a pureblood if the muggles have been weeded out by your generation (In other words, your grandparents can all be muggleborns, as long as they are all wizards)
