Human characters

Every person at exactly midnight on new years following their 18th birthday possesses the body of their soulmate

Virgil was terrified. It was almost midnight, and he would soon be transported out of his room, and into his soulmates body. And to make it worse, his soulmate would be transported into his body. A stranger would learn all about him in no time at all. As a person who loved his privacy, Virgil was not looking forward to the sound of the clock striking Twelve.

Roman was cheerful as he cleaned up his, and left pictures of himself for his soulmate to find. It was almost midnight, and he couldn't wait to be transported into his soulmates body. Soon, he would be on a scavenger hunt to learn all the things about the person who he was meant to be with. He couldn't wait for the clock to strike twelve.

The sound of the clock striking twelve startled Virgil out of his miserable state. He opened his eyes and looked around at the unfamiliar room. The walls were painted red and gold, and there were Broadway posters covering them. A record player was playing the song Defying Gravity, from the musical Wicked. However, for all of the unfamiliar things in the room, there was one thing that was familiar. A picture. Virgil couldn't believe it, and walked towards the frame for a better view. I couldn't be…. There was no way his tormentor was his soulmate.

Roman watched as his room faded from view and was replaced by another room. This room was darker, with purple walls covered in drawings. A CD player was blasting My Chemical Romance music into a pair of headphones on Romans head- or rather, the boys head. Roman couldn't see his new face, so he walked over to a shattered mirror, and peered at the broken reflection that greeted him. He couldn't believe it. How could it be that a boy he had teased throughout highschool was his soulmate.

Virgil sank down and started to cry. This had to be a joke. Someone had somehow messed up the universe and placed him in this body. That was the only explanation for what was happening. Because there was no way that Roman Prince was his soulmate.

Roman wanted to cry. This had to be a joke. Someone could read his mind, and decided to prank him. That was what was happening. That was the only explanation. Because there was no way that Virgil Sanders was his soulmate.

It had all started in 6th grade, when Virgil's mother left. She’d had dreams bigger than the small town they lived in, and claimed that Virgil and his father were holding her back. She left in pursuit of those dreams, and never came back. Virgil's father had drifted even further from virgil, until he was basically nonexistent. A ghost of the father Virgil had once had. Virgil had accepted it, and began to work hard, keeping his house clean, and him and his dad fed. While he was physically healthy, the mental toll it took on him, a 6th grader, was unimaginable. He started wearing black clothing, claiming it was easiest, and listening to “emo” music. Bands like My Chemical Romance were the only thing he could relate to. As he sunk into himself, the other kids at school started to notice him, a dark emo boy, and pick on him. One boy in particular seemed to have a personal grudge against him- Roman Prince. In the early years of school, Virgil had actually had a crush on Roman, so he noticed the older childs teasing more than the others. Names like “Count Woelof”, “J.D.Lightful”, and “Jason Toddler” bounced around in his head at night, keeping him from sleep. He started getting more anxiety attacks, and stopped talking to people, losing any friends he had once had. But the torment never stopped.
