Overview

The Family System lets players establish formal family lineages by purchasing a Family Bloodline, which registers a family surname. It is designed for long-term identity building, roleplay relationships, and the creation of structured family trees within the world.

Families act as social units where players form bonds, build legacies, and grow their lineage over time.

Registering a bloodline

  1. Purchase a Family Bloodline. Prices are listed in the store.
  2. Open a ticket through the official Discord ticket system (the Settlement Ticket system).
  3. Submit the receipt or proof of payment in that ticket. Applications without valid proof will not be reviewed or processed.

Once approved by the administration, the family surname is officially registered under your name.

Name change and surname usage

After approval, you may change your in-game name to include your chosen family surname. Each Family Bloodline purchase allows only one name change, making each change a one-time privilege per transaction.

This keeps surname changes controlled and meaningful.

Expansion and adoption

Families may expand through marriage, relationships, and the adoption of other players into their lineage. However, any adopted member who wishes to officially carry the family surname, or change their name to match it, must purchase their own Family Bloodline.

This ensures that every recognized member of a family is properly registered and documented.

Structure and roleplay

Families may create their own internal hierarchy, traditions, and roleplay systems, depending on their style of play. Members are free to define their roles within the household or lineage.

The system also allows divorce, giving players the flexibility to end relationships while keeping their freedom in roleplay progression.

Family tree

Each registered family may build a family tree that records relationships such as marriage, adoption, and lineage connections. This lets families track their history and growth over time, creating a lasting legacy within Zelvaria.
