Soulmates have been around since the beginning of time. People are born with soulmates but don't get their mark until they graduate (or get a dragon)***. They get a unique tattoo of their soulmates initials in black on their left wrist. Once the bond is accepted by both parties, it turns gold. The most common set of soulmates are trios and the biggest recorded group is 17.
Soulmates know when they get near each other because their soulmark starts to itch. When they meet each other's eyes for the first time the world stops around them (yes I know, very Twilighty but whatever). After someone finds their soulmate the soulmark will tingle and turn from a dull black to light gold.
After the marks are activated and accepted by both soulmates, they can sense each other, hear each other's thoughts no matter how far away, feel each other's pain to an extent, and their souls are bound. Meaning if a fae or any type of supernatural being are soulmates, they get each other's "powers." Each couple is different on what they share/get. So every couple has different powers. But only when each group is complete. Meaning they will still be able to sense each other's feelings, thoughts, pain, etc. but they won't be able to "share powers" until the soulmate group is complete.
Soulmates can reject each other but it's very painful and can possibly kill one another. But someone can meet their soulmate and not deny or accept and they will be fine. They will just feel more of a pull to be with or talk to their soulmate.
If a soulmate dies, it's excruciatingly painful. The mark turns to a dull grey and part of the other(s) soul is taken from the living soulmate.
There are different types of soulmates. There are soulmates (sexual), soul sisters (obviously not sexual), soul brothers (again obviously not sexual), and soul children (please don't make me say it. Just don't be nasty y'all). And when a couple (or group) of soulmates have children, they each get a tattoo of that child. No matter who the biological parents are.
I know this is a lot of information. This is basically just a page to go back to if you're confused. The story will have and explain more of soulmate stuff. So don't worry if this is confusing! And do not hesitate to ask questions if you're confused or find something that doesn't make sense ❤️
*** Only the dragon section gets their soulmates early as they having the highest death rate ***
