Do you believe in destiny? It's an uncomfortable idea to come to terms with, I know. To imagine that your lifetime may not entirely be your own. That the gentle hand of Fate, or some other higher power, can push and pull and prod you along a path you did not choose for yourself. To many, that is what the Strings represent: the grey-area in free-will.

We never used to put much stock in them. Men and women wasted their lives chasing them to the end, only to find disappointment at the end of the rainbow. There is no greater sorrow than having one's soul tied to someone who is already bound in holy matrimony, except for not having one in the first place.

As in many things, technology has opened new doors for those seeking their destiny. For the first time in recorded history, there is a greater than fifty percent chance of reaching the other end of a String in a human lifetime. Whether the destined bond is platonic –– based in friendship, family, lust, or rivalry –– or the romantic red of your true soulmate, it has never been easier to find The One.

Various organisations have cropped up in recent years to streamline the search. Some are funded, others are not, but either way the end result is narrowing down the possible location of one's soulmate to a narrow geographical area.

Like Boston.

This roleplay is going to be based around the idea of Soulmates. The RP will be taking place in Boston and will be heavily ‘ship-centric’, moreso than most slice-of-life RPs! Though there will obviously be romantic Soulmates, there will also be other types of Strings, ranging from friendship, to lifelong rival, and even lust-based. Now, just as a forewarning, every roleplayer who participates will be required to play two (2) characters. One will have a soulmate randomized by the GMs, and one can be selected via discussing between yourselves!

The RP is going to be taking place in the modern day, and we’ll be using real-life face claims exclusively. If you have any questions that weren’t answered directly here, please mention the GMs (@Hey Im Jordan & @McHaggis) and ask away, we’ll answer as soon as possible.
