The people of the world were long ago blessed by the gods with many gifts, one of which is the magical ability over one of the elements. Greater than all of these gifts, however, is the Mark. It appears as a birthmark, a dark patch of skin on the person’s right wrist, and identifies all those blessed with a Destined, or soulmate. Thus, everyone’s Mark looks exactly the same. Only after two Destined fall in love do their Marks change: they glow and transform into a unique design, identifying as each other’s Destined. Once you have found your Destined, the love you share will fuel your magical abilities, something all the Marked share. But Marks are extremely rare, and most of those who have them never find their Destined. Most people don’t have the resources to travel and find their Destined, so they usually just marry someone in their village. You can even fall in love with someone who isn’t your Destined. But without them, your powers fade until they are long gone.
The royal family of the kingdom of Orewyn is one of the few families blessed long ago by the gods to all have Marks, generation after generation. This brought forth an ancient tradition: when the royal children turn 18, the marrying age, a huge festival is held to celebrate their birthdays and to find their Destined. Eligible youths with Marks from all over the country are invited to the Royal City to attempt to find the prince or princess’ Destined. Even peasants are invited, with the Crown paying for the trip. This year is a special occasion, as the royal children are twins Crown Princess Laurelin and Prince Lukas. It is the largest festival in memory and every one with a Mark is invited.
Only two of the hundreds of youths that will come to the Royal City will actually marry the prince and princess. Most come with fingers crossed to simply meet their Destined, royalty or not. The festival is a time for celebration, meeting, and love.

Slice of life soulmate RP, medieval setting. Looking for 17 other people at most, trying to keep everyone paired up with another RPer so nobody ends up with an NPC. Every Destined has magical abilities, but for now choose an element (light, earth, air, lightning, water, fire) and we will sort out corresponding abilities. We will also sort out who is who’s Destined so you won’t know.
