Unless I miss my guess we are looking for two to four more players right? When were we planning on starting the actual role play?
I don't have a start date quite yet, I'm going to determine one once we get some more character sheets in. As for players, I believe we came into the OOC with 7 people, and I think 3 more people have expressed interest, so with that many we could definitely move forward. Of course, if more people express interest, I'll be happy to take more CS submissions. I don't want too big of a cast, but if we get a ton of great characters submitted I could definitely be persuaded to take more than 12 characters.
What do you mean by no anime pictures? Are semi realistic okay? I can't use photos. Other people can. I just can't. It creeps me out.
I don't like using photos either XD It also creeps me out, although if people want to use IRL photos as references for stuff like clothing, tattoos, etc. that's fine. Just not as your main FC. Semi-realistic art is great, basically I'm just looking for artwork that isn't too anime-styled since they tend to be a little much for the setting we have here XD If you'd like an example, here are the images for the twins:
What are the rules on tragic backstories?
Go for it, although it's worth noting that this RP will be a balance between character- and plot-driven, so keep that in mind. The idea is that your history isn't as important as your IC actions, so you might not have all that much of a chance to really delve into your history. That said, it's your character and I did say you can have pretty much whatever kind of background you want, so I encourage you to get creative ^_^ (One thing to note, though, is that you're probably the only Fragmented you've ever met. If you really want to have known a Fragmented, or a Reunited pair or even a Lost, PM me and we'll see what we can do)
Would an abusive romantic relationship (that on couple that has one beating the other and resticring their life while the other is like, "they're not that bad") still be considered a romantic bond?
Ah, the many problems that can abound from soul bonds. That's half the reason I made this RP, to play with soulmates that weren't perfect!
So, the type of a soul bond doesn't change once it's been made, but the relationship between the soulmates can change and evolve, as all relationships do. An abusive relationship is possible (the soul bond would likely be the thing making the abused partner cling to their abuser) but, owing to the emotional connection the pair shares, it might be difficult for the abuser to continue their abuse. Reunited pairs can feel each other's emotions, you see, and as one suffers, so does the other. This could lead to a couple different outcomes: maybe the abuser changes their behaviour to make themselves suffer less, maybe they didn't understand the effect of their actions until then and reform that way, maybe they don't reform and end up doing a murder-suicide, etc. There's a lot you can do with this, if you'd like to explore this specifically, definitely PM me.
Would a Fragmented with inherited mental illness have the illness compounded because they are Fragmented?
The Fragmented on their own aren't much different from the Intact, so their illness would be whatever severity it would be if they were Intact, rather than scaling. However, if they become Lost, that will definitely exacerbate any existing mental illnesses. Once they reunite, they'll probably find the severity of their illness decrease. Some Reunited have reported losing a mental illness altogether in the years following reuniting.
I'd be keen to have an antagonistic relationship that goes as far as trying/at least wanting to kill each other whenever they're in proximity. Like an emotional surge of hatred that they can't control as soon as they're in the same room together xD I feel like that would be so much fun to play with. I'd be open to it then turning romantic or platonic eventually, too.
So, your soul bond type won't change once your bond has been formed, but like I said above, it can manifest in a myriad of ways. Like hey, maybe once you learn to channel your hatred constructively, you realize that the conflict between you stems more from your soul bond than from your actual personalities, and the two of you aren't so incompatible after all. Or maybe you two immediately hate each other, but much to your chagrin, you're also
very sexually attracted to each other, indicating a romantic soul bond rather than an antagonistic one. I'll definitely keep you in mind for an antagonistic bond, though I can't make any guarantees. Like always, if you'd like to know more or discuss particulars I welcome you to give me a shout!
