I noticed on your ancestry page, you didn't use information from the JKR's family tree. Are you disregarding that and allowing people to make characters not based on that?
The parental information we are using is based solely on the Epilogue. So to answer your question, you are allowed to choose your parental pairing as long as it is not in direct opposition to the Epilogue as written or pairings that have already been established in game.
Is it possible to hold parents?
After a trial and modly debate, we have decided not to allow holds on parents. You may comment to the parentage that you would like that parentage. However, we do not want to discourage any interested player from applying. If another potential character shows interest in a pairing other than what is pending the mods will discuss this challenge with both individuals.
Am I allowed to write in siblings for my character?
Yes, the more the merrier. Canon only mentions some of the siblings that would be required. No where in the Epilogue does JKR say "so and so is an only child" so it is possible to write your own in. All siblings as established by the first to claim a parentage will be added to the family/ancestry and casting list as applicable.
Can parents be played as NPC's?
Yes, students are allowed to NPC their own parents.
