Pureblood Handbook

Once you have read the Site Plot, you should understand that BTW is working within an "alternate timeline" from the books. The following information will help you to better create and play your character within the designed world.

• More Families: In our history, blood purity has been of the upmost import for centuries. Through Magical Decrees on marriage, there will be more Pureblood families allowed on BTW than the original books.
  
  
• Marriage: Purebloods are allowed to marry other Purebloods, or legal Halfbloods (see Halfblood Handbook for details). This is to further the purity of blood and magic.
  
  
• Becoming Pureblood: If a Halfblood and Pureblood marriage produces a child, the child will be considered a Halfblood still. It is not until the third generation that a child is considered a legal Pureblood. For example:
                   HB (1st generation) + PB = HB (2nd generation)
                   HB (2nd generation) + PB = PB
  
  
• Housing: To ensure safety for all within the magical community, the Ministry has designated living areas for each wizarding family, based on blood status. The head of the household dictates which area a family will live in. There is no choice in this matter, as it is strictly regulated by District Enforcers.
  
  
• Jobs: Purebloods may hold any job that is available, and that they qualify for. There are no restrictions other than qualification.
  
  
• Views on Blood: For centuries now, Purebloods have been held in the highest regard, due to their purity of blood and, therefore, magic. With the greatest privilege in magical society, they command a certain level of respect in all things. While individual Purebloods may look down on those of lesser blood than them, there is no generalized hate of Halfbloods and Muggleborns. Instead, there is a civilized understanding that their magic is lesser, and therefore beneath them.
  
  
• Blood Status Tattoo: Upon birth, Pureblood children receive the full moon tattoo of their station. This magical, painless tattoo is positioned on the right hand, on the muscle below the first finger. This allows for clear identification throughout their lives.
