Bump before work.

The Red String of Fate: A Fantasy Idea

It is said that we are born with an unseen red string tied to out pinky finger and the end is tied to whomever you are fated to be with. However, the thread is tangled, twisting this way and that, making it difficult for a pair to come together.

The idea in mind is inspired by the Chinese myth of the Red String of Fate, as well as a Fandom (Anime/Manga) called Loveless. However, you do not need prior knowledge of either. We can establish our own rules and build the world on our own, and I can answer your questions should you have any. In this particular world, there are units that are made up of two people: A fighter and a sacrifice. They share a soul bond and become capable of engaging in spell battles against other units.

What is In a Name?

In the Loveless world, certain individuals are born with a name that reflects the true nature of their soul or fate – and somewhere out there in the wide world is someone who shares that name. People who share the same name are connected mentally, emotionally, and spiritually: they’re essentially soulmates (although it need not make them romantically involved). Each Unit has a 'True Name' that the pair shares which represents them as a whole.

What is a Fighter?

The Fighter of a unit engages in spell battles against other Fighters. Only a Fighter can begin a Wordspell Battle and they are the only ones who can cast spells during that Wordspell Battle.

Both in and out of battle, Fighters are bound to follow the orders of their Sacrifices. Although they may not realize it, Fighters innately seek to follow the will of their Sacrifices. Fighters without orders tend to hesitate, which weakens the pair.

A Fighter needs to obey the orders of their Sacrifice in order for the bonded pair to reach their true potential. While a Fighter may disobey or disregard the orders of their Sacrifices, this causes deep feelings of guilt and anxiety – to the point where a Fighter would honestly believe that disobeying their Sacrifice is a threat to their livelihood. Fighters need to obey their Sacrifices as much as they need to eat or sleep.

What is the Role of A Sacrifice

A Sacrifice takes the damage for their Fighter during a Wordspell Battle. This damage often takes the form of Restrictions, which are lengths of cloth, leather, or chains that tighten painfully around a Sacrifice’s body. Restrictions steal away a Sacrifice’s concentration and strength. If a Sacrifice receives enough damage, they could very easily suffocate to death beneath their Restrictions if their Fighter does not surrender the fight.

A Sacrifice also has the right to command their Fighter both in and out of battle. If a Sacrifice does not command their Fighter, their Fighter will be hesitant and unsure of themselves in Wordspell Battles. Often, many Wordspell Battles in Loveless are dictated entirely by the Sacrifices! For a bonded pair to be truly effective, a Sacrifice must give clear, firm, and honest commands.

The String of Fate

If a Sacrifice finds themselves cornered, or in need of help, or they just want to be with their Fighters, they can summon their Fighters mentally and empathically through their mutual bond. No matter where the Fighter is, they will be able hear/feel this call and feel compelled to follow it.

A bonded Fighter/Sacrifice may be able to visualize their bond as a string between the two of them and simply follow it to their partner.

Misc.

Some notes worth mentioning, trivia, restrictions, taboos and such:

Fighting Solo:
It is against a sort of mental societal norm for Fighters to do battle without their Sacrifices. However, while ill-adviced, it is possible.
If a Fighter goes into a Wordspell battle without his or her Sacrifice, they will only be at half strength. They will also be vulnerable for whatever damage their (rather unscrupulous) opponent has in store for them.
A Sacrifice will be able to sense whenever his or her Fighter goes into a Wordpspell Battle without them – and will in all likelihood come running. Unless, of course, they really hate their partner.

Fighting for Another Sacrifice/Changing Partners:
A Fighter cannot fight for another Sacrifice without first breaking the bond of his or her true Sacrifice and taking on the name of the new Sacrifice. The process is excruciatingly painful for the Fighter in question, as his or her name will “retaliate” against this new, forced bond. Wordspell Battles become excruciatingly painful, and their true name will often bleed during the battle.
Even if a bond between a Sacrifice and a Fighter is broken, the Sacrifice will still be able to issue orders to the Fighter and the Fighter will feel the compulsion to follow them.

So, those are pretty much the basics, I suppose. Feel free to ask any questions, make suggestions or what have you. I have several ideas for this. I would like to adds romance, a few twists, maybe a dark twist.

Kemonomimi-box, Come and get one or get picked up :D (ignore post count)

Uuuuumm, gonna bump. ^^

Also! If you might have any other ideas or suggestions, I would love to hear them.

Original (Fandom Inspired) Roleplay? Fantasy, Romance [1x1 or small group]

In this particular world (The manga is called Loveless), there are teams that are made up of two people: A fighter and a sacrifice. They share a soul bond. (When a bond is established, they are capable of locating each other or knowing when the other is in distress. Not everyone meets their who they're bonded to). I always think of the bond as something similar to the red string if fate.

They have names like Loveless, Breathless, Beloved, etc. (that represent them as a unit along with a symbol or marking on their body) and fight with word spells. They activate certain forces with words, like when they want to hurt the other team, they say something like, "A thousand shards of glass, Cut!", etc. That is the fighter's job. The sacrifice's job is to take the pain of those words if the fighter doesn't protect his team well enough with shielding words.

There are a number of taboos and such, like fighter and sacrifice with different names fighting together.
It is taboo for two people who do not share a name to act as a unit.
It is not suggested for a fighter to act without a sacrifice, it is said his power is halved in such an instance.
A fighter is expected to protect their sacrifice.
If a unit declares a battle of spells, they can not forfeit- they must defeat their opponent, be defeated or have their opponent withdraw/call off the battle.

Example

These are pictures from the anime. These are the restraints that appear on the sacrifice when they're inflicted with pain or a spell is cast on them. When they're completely restrained or can't tolerate the pain, they lose. (Usually the fighter - the blonde- doesn't receive that. But something happened in which he did... Unusual circumstances). The first image depicts the unit together. The second is the sacrife receiving damage. The third is the fighter or sentouki casting a spell.

Thus describes the dynamic between the pair and battle system pretty well.

What we can do is limitless. I am open to heterosexual and homosexual pairings. I am open to a small group or one on one.

I have a few ideas, though none are very in depth.

- We can have a pair that clashes. We can have a pair that don't share a name, resulting in drama, jealousy, et cetera. Ask for my ideas and I will detail them further.

Feel free to ask questions! And we can get to discussing and further plotting! Hope to hear from some of you! PM me please, I probably won't be checking back into this thread until I need to edit or something.

Kemonomimi-box, Come and get one or get picked up :D (ignore post count)

Ahhh, sounds fun indeed. Alright, I'll take the bait! I'm gonna have a male and female, for both an owner and a neko for a total of five characters. I have a few ideas in mind that I will share upon contact, and would love to hear any you might have.

Male Owner

Name: Jun Ageha
Appearance:

Age: 23
Gender: Male
Personality: A reserved and private individual, Jun may often come across as aloof and mysterious. Socially speaking, there is room for improvement. He has trouble reading people, so he can often unwittingly disregard others feelings. He can be brutally and blatantly honest, as well as withdrawn, which can cause tension between he and loved ones.
Looking for: Up for discussion. Fantasy, romance, mature, slice of life, et cetera. Itsuki is available for heterosexual and homosexual (yaoi) relationships.
Pairings: N/A

Male Neko

Name: Mitsuki Tanaka
Appearance:
Age: (Depends)
Gender: Male
Personality: Mitsuki can be a bit distant and cold, especially at first. He can be a bit irritable and peevish (though often comically). Hard headed and stubborn, almost to a childish extent. He doesn't like to be bossed around, though could probably benefit from some guidance considering his tendency to find trouble. Although he has a bit of a temper, he is also fun loving in his own way, finding amusement in teasing or generally bothering people.
Looking for: Up for discussion. Fantasy, romance, mature, slice of life, et cetera. Mitsuki is available for homosexual (yaoi) and heterosexual relationships. (Ideally, he would be paired with a mature, confident and dominant male partner or a kind, submissive female partner. Though, I'm willing to pair him with any personality type.)
Your owner: N/A

Female Owner

Name: Sachiko Tadase
Appearance:

Age: 17 (Though may depend)
Gender: Female
Personality: Sachiko is an intelligent, kind hearted girl. Independent, she is a hard worker and motivated person. Occasionally, she may become stressed out but tries not to let it phase her. Just like many teenage girl, she can be a bit sensitive when she is overwhelmed. Dependable and sociable, she has a circle of friends that often offer their support in trying times. Even so, she tries not to push her problems onto others and would sooner handle the issue herself than allow herself to trouble anyone else.
Looking For: Up for discussion. Fantasy, romance, mature, slice of life, et cetera. Sachi is available only for heterosexual relationships. (I think Sachi can be paired with most personality type. Maybe a good type for her would be someone nice, fun loving that can show her to let loose sometimes. She also would enjoy the comfort of someone else.)
Pairings: N/A

Female Neko

Name: Emi Himura
Appearance:

Age: (Depends)
Gender: Female
Personality: Emi has a bubbly personality, active and friendly she has a tendency to overstep personal boundaries. When she takes a liking to someone, she has no qualms letting it be known. Affectionate and loving. She will defend and claim her loved ones, to a humorous extent, which can be a but embarrassing for the recipient if they aren't prepared. She can be quite stubborn at times and mischievous. Her curious playfulness can lead her placesshe ought not be but she tends to be quite fearless and does tend to always think things through.
Looking for: Up for discussion. Fantasy, romance, mature, slice of life, et cetera. Emi is available for heterosexual and homosexual relationships.
Your owner: N/A

2nd Female Neko

Name: Mai Shimizu
Appearance:

Age: (depends)
Gender: Female
Personality: Soft spoken and dutiful, Mai is very responsible. She has a motherly nature, being a caregiver and being so accountable. She follows instructions easily, efficiently and without complaint. Though her loyalty lies with her owner; should someone else attempt to order her around, they will likely be disappointed. She rarely acts impulsively. She will likely develop a strong loyalty and love for her owner. In which case, she would be happiest making her owner happy. Outsiders looking in might view her as foolish or crazy for loving her owner, but it is simply her loyalty.
Looking For: Up for discussion. Slave, fantasy, romance, mature, slice of life, et cetera. Emi is available for heterosexual and homosexual relationships.
Your Owner: N/A

I consider myself medium-high casual or low advanced. I can also provide brief writing samples to give a better idea of each personality. Or writing samples to show you my style. Anywho, feel free to message me if you would like to interact with one of my characters!

Super Duper Here!

@Kangaroo Hey there, thanks a lot! I appreciate it!
