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.

===Afamdi===
This is an old [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-American_religion Afro]-[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ta%C3%ADno 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 [http://absitomen.com/index.php?action=profile;u=4250 Zayzie]

===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.

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.

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.

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.

Descending from kings, they were on friendly terms with

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.

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.

===MacFusty===
===Ollivander===
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.  
The Ollivanders are an old pureblood family who occasionally marry half-blood and muggleborn people.

===O'Doherty===
: [http://absitomen.com/index.php?topic=5888.0 Family Tree]
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 was common 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 was not pleased with his son Martin's marriage to a muggle woman. Casey was groomed as a male inheritor until cutting ties with the family, leaving cousin Brona as the new possible inheritor.
:*[[Tynan MacFusty]]


===Mattioni===
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.
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.

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.

===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.

===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.

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.

===Zamperia===
===Wilde===
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.  
The [[Wilde Family]] is a recently half-blood family linked to the muggle Wildes, the magical Welles family, and now the American half-blood family the Castillos. At AO, the Wildes are a crime and hotelier family in Edinburgh who run the [[Pendragon Hotel]]

More family and adoptable character resources

Pureblood Families

Almasy

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

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.

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.

Bombay

Canterbury

The Canterbury name has become something of a hodge-podge. Depending on who eccentric wizengamot 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; 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 have occasionally produced a Seer. They are not notable Purists.

Carstairs were originally a Scottish family but have long since strayed far from their roots, to settle in England. The tombstones of some ancestors may be sighted in Melrose Cemetery, Edinburgh.

Gamp

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. The family have loosened their thoughts on requiring pureblood marriage. Historical Gamps have included a Minister for Magic and a Gamp who established Transfiguration laws. Many ancestors have worked deeply in the Department of Mysteries. Family Tree

Grumman

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.

Liddleton

The Liddleton family is an old pureblood family from England. They traditionally work in business, ministry and law. There are enough illegitimate children of varying blood-types that can link themselves to the Liddleton family line.

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.

Morgan

A small but cut-throat pureblood family of Welsh origin. In the past, they have been known to 'disappear' or throw out members who threaten the current status quo of power. Edgar Carstairs is famously a Morgan disowned for his progressive views and for being close in the line of succession.

The Morgan estate is located in the Glaslyn river valley in north-west Wales. Their family burial plot is in a nearby grove of great oaks plotted against muggle detection, called Cell y Dewiniaid. Morgans continue to be buried here.

Musgrave

Recent generation hail from St Albans, England. A more working to middle class family who have thinly retained their pure blood. The name is now most commonly associated with recent dementor and criminal activity, but was previously respected within the Department of Magical Transport.

Ollivander

The Ollivanders are an old pureblood family who occasionally marry half-blood and muggleborn people.

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 was common 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 was not pleased with his son Martin's marriage to a muggle woman. Casey was groomed as a male inheritor until cutting ties with the family, leaving cousin Brona as the new possible inheritor.

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.

Shacklebolt

Canon pureblood family, including Kingsley Shacklebolt who eventually became post-war minister. The family are of colour.

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. The Spectres have a distant connection to the Sellaphix Family.

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.

LeJean

The LeJean union is a cross species marriage of French witch Danielle LeJean and the freshwater Selkie merman Kulgor from Loch Lomond.
