Families and Adoptions gives you a list of pure-blood, half-blood, and muggle-born families currently played at AO, their family trees and adoption requests, and any other information the writer finds pertinent to include.

Underneath each family name, you may see a short paragraph about that family, and a list of the characters currently played. You can find non-player characters in Non-Player Characters.

Links to any family trees or adoptions are listed below the family name. Family trees show connections to other families, help explain how new characters might fit into a family, and chart a line of descent from one character. Adoptions give a more comprehensive view of which characters people want to see played. Please keep in mind that if you'd like to adopt a character, you must get approval from the person who submitted the request in order for the new biography to be accepted.

Adoption Requests that do not fit into families are listed in Other Adoptions.

The Adoption Center is an automatically generated list of Adoptable Non-Player Characters by Year, House, Occupation, and Blood purity.

If you do not wish to edit the wiki yourself, you may post your character information on the site here.

You may also use Cody's site to organize your family information - there, you can see families organized by surnames and how many family members are in each, the most recent individuals and families added, and which countries and places the families come from. Whatever method you pick for your family tree (thread, wiki page, Cody's site, combination of all three), feel free to link it below.

Pureblood Families

Halfblood Families | Muggleborn Families | Other Adoptables

Afamdi

This is an old Afro-Taino (Caribbean) family, whose traditions evolved from their ancestors' quest for freedom and autonomy from the oppressive system of Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, scourers, and colonialism. Their efforts created cultures specialized in magical morphology, mind magic, ecological management & restoration, magical/mundane martial arts, and magical/mundane performance arts that have molded them into a stealthy community that is known for their ability to seamlessly move between the muggle and wizarding world. They mainly operate out of Jamaica's Cockpit Country and Mangrove Swamps, but they also have families rooted in other parts of the Caribbean. This family's surname is actually adopted from honored ancestors during a generational coming-of-age ceremony and Afamdi is the name from the last ceremony.

The Afamdis are open for pureblood connections or new characters within the family. For more information, please contact Zayzie

Afamdi-Foley

This family was born from a member of the Foleys, immediate relatives to the Ó Móráins, marrying a member of the Afamdi Family. The latter family's traditions are more ingrained in the family than the former's. They live in Ireland and have around five children, with Naomi being the youngest.

The Afamdi-Foleys are open for pureblood connections or new characters within the family. For more information, please contact Zayzie

Almasy

An extremely wealthy, matriarchal family primarily from Moscow, Russia. Only a handful reside in the UK. They are known as the Almasy Clan

Amherst

Family Tree

Antonopoulos

d'Aubigne

The d'Aubigne family is primarily French. They are wealthy and tend to marry into families outside of their country in the hopes of broadening their gene pool and lessening the negative side effects of consistent inbreeding. Typically the male will move to the female's home country to make it easier to marry outside of French purebloods. For this reasons the d'Aubigne family is found all over Europe.

Avery

An old, wealthy pureblood family either said to have originated from France or Navarra. Formerly staunchly purist and thus has many historical ties to other pureblood families. After their involvement with Grindelwald and Voldemort, the family is split between maintaining that purist view and being anti-purist. Anti-purist Averys declare their distaste for blood discrimination openly, while the purist side tends to keep a low profile.

Bagman

Bagnold

The Bagnolds are a pureblood family with roots in Kent, England. They are closely connected to the Grimms and the Whitmans, and have direct ties to many other pureblood families. The Bagnold family has a reputation for being very pro-Ministry and anti-purist, and are known to produce many Gryffindors. Millicent Bagnold, a former Minister for Magic who came to power during the end of Voldemort's first reign, is still the clan's matriarch.

The Bagnolds are open for pureblood connections or new characters within the family. For more information, please contact Sparky.

Family Tree

Báthory

The Báthorys are an old Romanian pureblood family, that for centuries has been interbreeding with Veelas or witches and wizards of Veela ancestry. The family's beliefs tend to be centered around beauty and excellence as well as having a tendency towards the Dark Arts. Female members of the family may posses an inherent evil, or, even, a psychopathic gene. They are related to the Strelnikovs, the Grummans and distantly to the Desrosiers and the Whitmans.

The Báthorys are open for connections, adoptables or new characters within the family. Please contact Amara for more information.

Bowen

Welsh Pureblood family and cousins of the Dark family.

Burke

Canterbury

The Canterbury name has become something of a hodge-podge. Depending on who eccentric wizengomot member Argyle Canterbury was married to (he has had several wives) his children have been pureboods or half-bloods. The Canterbury Estate is in the village of Mould-on-the-Wold. Current residents include Argyle; Hannah, wife number seven; his son Griffon Manley; and his youngest children with Hannah, Polka-Dot and Polly Esther Ligeia. So in a way they're related to everybody. Through marriage, twice or thrice removed.

NPC relations

Carstairs

The Carstairs family are a largely Pureblood family with many Halfblood offshoots. They are well-to-do and tend to socialise in the same circles as most other upperclass Pureblood families. However, the Carstairs are not especially known for being extravagant or flashy (with exceptions). They are not notable Purists.

Chancelier

Clarencieux

Another family that is practically old gold, the Clarencieuxes have been around as early as the ninth century. With time, their popularity increased and so did their branch. A mixture of Portuguese, Italian and French ancestry, its members are known to be more-than-well-off, luxurious, and royal. They are also rumored to be one of the families who surprisingly remained pure despite disputes, and are likely to have supported the Dark Lord's ideals during the war - only his visions, and not he himself. The Estate is located Shooters Hill, South East London, and its grand heiress is none other than Deborah Florence Clarencieux, the only offspring hailing from its main bloodline. Poke Hans on her profile to retrieve lost information.

Dark

Family Tree

Darrion

The Darrion family is basically a "filler" family used on various family trees at Absit Omen. They are a wealthy family from England known for potions production and distribution.

Adoptions

Desrosiers

The Desrosiers, at their origins are an old French family that has lost everything except for the prestige of their name. However in 1938, the Petrovici, a wealthy part-veela Romanian family, married their daughter into their family for a win-win situation. Richard Desrosiers would get to live in wealth again and Cristina Petrovici would get the power and titles that came with the Desrosiers name. They have four children, each in their own right, accomplished, poised and wealthy, most having started their own businesses. They are related to the Grummans and the Whitmans and, distantly, to the Báthorys and the Strelnikovs.

The Desrosiers are open for connections, adoptables or new characters within the family. Please contact Amara for more information.

Eleor

Farro

A canon pureblood family from England. Recent generations (Mortimer Gamp, Lyra Gamp) have a family home in Godric's Hollow. There are opportunities for many branches off.

Many ancestors have worked deeply in the Department of Mysteries.

Family Tree

Goyle

A purist family of England that suffered a significant loss (both reputation and finance-wise) with Voldemort's second fall. Famous for breeding ferocious guard dogs and equally vile men.

Family Tree

Grimm

Grosvenor

Grumman

Harper

Howell

Descending from kings, they were on friendly terms with their muggle brethren until it was no longer fashionable to be so. Since then they’ve adopted purist leanings (or at least, appeared to), but their concerns still focus on one’s wealth (be it money, property or knowledge) and personal merit. Modern day descendants enjoy an enormous amount of influence, particularly in law enforcement. Many of the older membershold high level positions of some kind, usually as esteemed Elders or Department Heads.

Irving

Kanika

The Kanikas were an ancient Egyptian bloodline, who could trace their roots as far back as the 19th Dynasty of Egypt (3300 years). A powerful clan, they traditionally followed Set, and were known to engage in criminal activity; namely the trading of illegal potions ingredients, such as Runespoor venom and fangs. Their most well known, and legal, export was Basilisk venom. The metamorph and parseltongue abilities were carried in their bloodline.

The eldest daughter, Atalana, turned against her family and killed off the rest of the main bloodline in 1995. With her arrest and imprisonment, the current heir is Tapendra Trishna, her bastard son.

Ketteridge

Knight

The Knight family is from England. The main line currently resides is Kilburn. They are an incredibly old fashioned family. They tend to be purist, sexist, racist, and very traditional in behavior. The family is known- even now- to practice arranged marriages to keep the blood line pure and prestigious.

Adoptions

Half-blood Knight Branch

Tarron Knight's marriage to a Muggleborn witch (something quickly followed by his family disowning him), and the subsequent birth of their daughters has created a halfblood branch.

Lemon

A small and poor pureblood family. The Lemons have generally laboured in magical farms and tending to creatures. Only some of their members hold actively strong Purist views.

Li

de Luca

Family Tree

MacDuff

The MacDuff family is made of poor Scottish purebloods. They have very little left to their name apart from purity. It is not uncommon for them to turn to lives of crime, and with the recent attacks on the wizard world by Dugan Macduff their reputation has been further ruined.

Adoptions

Half-blood Macduff Branch

Maxwell Macduff's marriage to a Muggle and the birth of his twin daughters has created a half-blood branch. The only surviving member of this line is one of the twins.

MacFusty

The MacFustys are a long-time pureblood family dating back to at least the era of the Viking invasions (if not further). A massive Scottish clan of dragonkeepers, their family is spread in groups around the Hebrides, each family group guarding and caring for a specific dragon or pair of dragons. While considered pure, most of them are fairly relaxed on blood purity, and so muggleborns often marry in. Their clan is large and diverse enough that while many of them share a last name and a uniform group identity, most haven't met, and are only distantly related.

They have no currently adoptable characters, but are an option for pureblood ties.
Family Tree

Mattioni

The Mattioni family is basically a "filler" family used on various family trees at Absit Omen. They are a wealthy family from Italy, known for their involvement in the black market and organized crime.

Adoptions

Marsh

Morgan

Ó Coigligh

The Ó Coiglighs are a pureblood family from Ireland. Inbred, predominantly crazy, dirt poor, they developed the potato blight in a Dark herbology experiment, and have been very literally cursed ever since.

Family Tree

Ó Móráin

The Ó Móráin is a pureblood family from Ireland. They own and operate Ó Móráin Farms. The family is intermarried with many prominent pureblood families. They have a reputation for involvement in the dark arts and illegal operations on the farm.

Family Tree

Ōoriyashima

An old, purist Wizarding family found primarily in Japan, the Ōoriyashima are as ancient as they are wealthy, their wands some of the very first – and the finest – to be crafted in the region. They are hardly as famous as the Ollivanders, but they are widely regarded as one of the best wandmakers in Japan if not the entire Pacific.

Prewett

The Prewett family is an old pureblood family with many ties to the Ministry of Magic. The main branch of the family is located in South West England, predominately in Wiltshire with the Prewett Manor located outside of Westbury, Wiltshire.

Family Tree

Prideaux

The Prideauxs have only recently come onto the map in Pureblood society. A wealthy pureblood family from France, Camille Prideaux was originally an English Darrion when she married in. After her husband died mysteriously, she raised her infant son, Vedir, to follow her ideals.

The family has been wrapped up in the Runespoor trade since the 70s; Camille ran much of it in England then, and her son runs much of it now. They are not a family to be crossed, and seemingly have deceit in their blood. Vedir lives in Hasard Hall in Gloustershire.

Spectre

While the Spectres may be a primarily pureblooded Scottish clan, nearly half of its members are half-bloods. The older generations are keen on keeping the family pure, although most anyone with a capacity to bear or sire children seems to have discarded the idea. There are Spectre estates all across Scotland - many dedicated to the breeding or care of magical creatures. One of the main estates is located in a warded area just outside of Edinburgh.

Strelnikov

In all in-character records, Demi and her family are listed as pureblood, though she is technically a halfblood.

St. James

Knox Greyfriar is loosely related to the St. James family by marriage. Knox's second cousins are NPCs siblings Lysander and Zolla St. James who are approximately his age.

Wentworth

The Wentworths are a long line of English Purebloods that are related to many other Pureblood Families due to the 'family curse' - every generation of Pure Wentworths only ever have one Male. This is the first generation where the sole male heir has had two sons. The Wentworths own an International Magical Menagerie Business that has been passed down from Father to son for generations. They are linked to the Cavanaughs, the Tawse, the Bagnolds, the Raynors, the Bulstrodes and many more. (Contact Amberlee to create a connection)

Yukawa

Bradley

A middle class, halfblood family that has tried to marry into pureblood families for years and supported purism and anti-Muggle sentiment. Their singular claim to fame is a Bradley family member marrying into a duke's family in the 1700s. Though eager to make their way back into the upper echelons of wizarding society, they have yet to achieve this.

Claggin

The Claggin name is descended from the Chieftainess of the Wizard's Council, Elfrida Clagg known for trying to classify Beings and Beasts and making the Golden Snidget a protected species. As such you might see the Claggin name around the wizarding world although nothing else noticeable or outstanding has been attributed to the family since then.

Collins

Family Tree

O'Doherty

The O'Doherty family is an old Irish clan made rich from an ancestral wand with rare Leprechaun Hair core. The family was once pure but rather convoluted. It wasn't uncommon for marriages between cousins or such to keep the family name, passed down through the firstborn sons. The family's legendary vile attitude is rumored to be caused by a curse from the original Leprechaun that was wronged by an ancestor. The family lives off their immense wealth, loaning it for illicit causes with nasty return rates. Current Patriarch Ainbheartach is not pleased with his son Martin's marriage to a muggle woman and grooms his half-blood grandson Casey as the next family scion.

While the family claims to be of pureblood that is under scrutiny, at least in the recent generations. Casey, particularly, was born from a muggle mother. Whether they are truly pure or not, the O'Dohertys like to portray themselves with that status.

Flickwick

Greenburg

The Greenburgs were once a pureblood family; however, a muggleborn marriage rendered the family halfblood. The current head of the family, Samuel, is pushing hard for his children to marry pure and restore their family's true heritage. When his daughter Judy married the halfblood Tapendra Trishna, he disowned her - causing a massive rift in his family.Their main home is in the Diagon area and after the death of his wife, Samuel is left with his two feuding sons, Simon and Gabriel.

Greyfriar

The Greyfriars are a heavily mixed half blood family. Knox is related by the marriage of his aunt to the St. James Family. Knox had a son Devlin Matthews out of wedlock with a muggle woman. Knox was married to NPC Meredith Ballentyne who did not take his name.

Family Tree

Hollingbury

A heavily halfblood family originating from East Sussex with a long history of accepting Greek muggleborns and halfbloods into the family. They tend to be altruistic and despise the Dark Arts, but may easily fall to the wayside in the eternal pursuit for knowledge. Hinted to be powerful due to ancestors descended from Circe in their family, but content to stay where they are in society and not abuse power for their own means.

Hughes

The Hughes family has a long history of witches and wizards, but have welcomed halfbloods, muggleborns, muggles, and more recently, veela into their family just often enough for them to never quite become a pureblooded one. They tend to be lower-middle class, but content, happy people.

Falkin

The Falkins are a half-blood family, the name from the muggleborn father Frederick. The whole family is Hufflepuff through and through: outdoorsy, boisterous, family centered and hardworking...except for the awkward middle son, a Ravenclaw. Philo is embarrassed by his family and the Falkins have no clue why Philo doesn't join in. Frederick and Francine fully love each other and usually remember preventive measures but sometimes they forget, which might contribute to the odd gaps between the ages of their children.

They had one daughter, Obderedria, that this wizard named. And then he disappeared. Patricia has unknowingly been victim to Memory Charms. She knows Drea's father must be a wizard and that a wizarding world exists, but nothing else. No memories of what they did together except for the furthest fringe. The wizard is unknown to this day.

There are Sellaphixes in London, Manchester, and Yorkshire. The current owners of the Apothecary are Rafe Sellaphix and his wife Zelda. Sellaphix Family

Storm

German-based family (questionable English breeding further back given the spelling!) which is generally pure in the high generations, but half blood in the lower generations. They attend Durmstrangs. They have links with the Bayard (French), Duerr (French/Belgian), Gundersen, Giles (English), Harker (English), Mordent (English), Moriarty (English), Murray (English), Kollontai (Ukrainian), and Volkov (Ukrainian) families.

Torret

The Torret family originated as a French family. The surname of the family was Touret until two sons were disowned and, as a result, moved to England and changed the ‘u’ in their last name to an ‘r’. Thus began the Torret family in the 13th century. For many generations the family was English and pureblood, until the 18th century when a Torret first married a muggleborn. Since the family has become completely halfblood.

Family Tree

Trishna

The Trishnas are a new family; the surname was created by Tapendra Trishna's mother, Atalana, to separate him from her bloodline, the Kanikas. The family currently lives in muggle Cambridge. Tapendra teaches at Hogwarts, and the girls both currently attend. His wife, Judy Greenburg, died in 2002.

Trumble

The Trumble family used to be purebred, until some giant was thrown into the mix. Ever since then, members of the family have married halfbloods and muggleborns, not really caring about their blood status. They cared more about proving themselves academically. It is not uncommon for Trumbles to have many children.

Watkins

Family Tree

Zamperia

The Zamperia family is a highly respected and fairly wealthy Cigano family. It has longest history of intentional half-blood breeding in both the Roma/Cigano culture and in Portugal. People from the Zamperia line seem to be talented with charms and transfiguration, rather than other branches of magic. There have been people who were skilled in Divination, (Mihai's mother is a seer, though she married in). They are a charitable family, and they consider the well-being of the community to be of great importance. The Zamperias tend to be skilled with the memory modification area of charms, which may cause discomfort among others in their community.
