I’m assuming any amount of Veela, especially a quarter, would make them a half-blood. At least, that’s the case with Charlotte. Socially, a character/their family can act as a pureblood (ie distancing themselves from muggles completely, believing themselves to be superior) but their technical blood status would still be half-breed. That’s my understanding.

Hi! I was wondering if wizards would also have devices or like social media, if they would have a magical alternative to it or if it just doesn’t exists at all?

Muggle technology would not work very well in any wizarding environment, so it is safe to assume that students in Hogwarts would have no social media unless the device is outside of the magical world You can learn more in this thread!

The profile card is typically known as a source of truth, especially relating to things like blood status, but if my character has a nickname that he has been called his entire life and commonly goes by, would it be okay for that to be his registered name? Or would I have to register him under what his actual name is?

Yes! You can put the nickname! Many people have their characters registered with a nickname then list their full name in the ency usually in the first page.

@Kennedy Cheek - Seconding Avery’s answer as official staff confirmation! Like you mentioned, though, things like blood status must be accurate and true on your profile even if the character believes it to be something different.

Yes! When you are approved, you will create a sub-account which is basically doing the same steps as registering your account like you did with Thomas, but you also need to add the name of your PC, your iNPC’s school, and their school year. this will be found at the top of the profile page when first registering like this:

As Avery mentioned, your iNPC would have their own account. But, you cannot make the account immediately. Here are the steps to follow when it comes to making the iNPC account, once you have been validated for at least 6 months.

thank you so so so much @Avery Gray @Kaitlyn Connor

If I remember correctly, it opens in seventh year, but you can access it in fifth year with the trenchcoat of sneak.
