Chapter Text
In this world your soulmate is chosen when you are born.
No matter the gender or race you have a soulmate somewhere in the world.
It could be your childhood best friend or someone on the other side of the world you've never met.
But one thing is for sure.
You will know it's them when you meet.
Because when you touch for the first time you'll feel a little tingle on that body part and a tattoo will appear there.
The tattoo will represent a thing about your soulmate that they like. It can be an object, a word, a person, anything.
They are also "initiated", so when you touch your soulmate the tattoo won't appear on your hand, the tattoo will only appear when your soulmate touches you and vice versa.
The bond can be between two or more people, if it is meant so. The connection also stays forever. You can still date and marry someone else but your soulmate will still be your soulmate.
The bond between two soulmates can be broken though if needed.
But it's done very rarely, the process is painful, not easy and that decision is very final. You can never recover a soulmate bond. That's why the permission to break the bond is only given in extreme cases.
The other person is only needed to go through this and the other(s) will not feel the pain their soulmate does and their tattoo will become grey. On the other hand the one who has to go through it will forever be left alone the scars reminding of the trauma and the päin.
