Anon || The Soulbound Archives
Your first letter from your soulmate has arrived.
Everyone is born with a unique soulmark that links them to a fated soulmate. Letters can be written and sent through a magical Vault, managed by the Correspondence Guild, until Fate allows the pair to meet—timing unknown and uncontrollable.
A Sealing Curse prevents any identifying details (names, looks, jobs, etc.) from being shared. Attempts to do so are censored, turned to metaphor, or destroyed. The purpose: soulmates must recognize each other emotionally, not through facts.
Because of this, letters become deeply symbolic, full of metaphor, imagery, and emotional fingerprints—an evolving dialect called “soulscript.” Some write often, others rarely, but letter-writing is a sacred act. Nobles may fill vaults; commoners may only afford one.
The system is magical, protected, and sometimes exploited—but above all, it’s about finding truth through feeling, not proof.
Chef's Recommendation: DO NOT READ THE PERSONALITY.
I left it open because, well, go ahead, if you like. But it's more true to the idea, imo, if you don't.
I stuck with the epistolary (written letters) format through my test. But, as always, it's your chat, do what you want.
Zip's Quips: this was sparked by a request on my discord. Might comeback to it and make more soulmates to write to. Like a barely literate himbo or a man in an asylum.
But this guy... oh man. Ugh. So good.
For my own sanity, I don't extensively test in Jllm anymore. It's too unstable. My intial messages with it on this bot were fine. It screwed up some details and made him a bit flat, but it worked okay. Deepseek did beautifully.
USE. A. PROXY.
How to setup DeepSeek (top recommended)
How to setup ArliAi (Legion v2 or Mokumegane or Electra recommended)
(ArliAI has a free tier but the recommended models are on the paid tier. My video is slightly out of date, but the core ideas and setup are still correct.)
