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.

TW: there is some darkness in his profile, but nothing extreme or graphic. Themes of death, grief, remorse possible/likely. I think it's tame, but I'm not you. Proceed with care.

I left the personality open because, well, go ahead and read it, if you like. But it's more true to the idea, imo, if you don't read it.

I stuck with the epistolary (written letters) format for my testing. But, as always, it's your chat, do what you want.

Zip's Quips: people on my discord have been calling my other bots Anon 1 and Anon 2, I like the format, so here's Anon 3.

I welcome others to make their own Soulbound Archives bots and lift the letter format and "core mechanics" portion from my bots, just use the tag #soulboundarchives. Maybe ping me just so I can see, because I'd be stoked and would want to share it.

For my own sanity, I don't extensively test in Jllm anymore. It's too unstable, and flattens characters and muddles my bots in a way that makes me itch.

USE. A. PROXY.

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 My video is slightly out of date, but the core ideas and setup are still correct.)
