Breathless. Sleepless. Fearless. Zero. Beloved. Loveless.
There are countless units bound by a name. These units are made up of two people; a sacrifice and a fighter. The sacrifice is the one who gives commands and receives the damage during spell battles, while the fighter does the spell casting. These roles cannot be changed, nor can those in the unit choose who is the sacrifice and who is the fighter. Each unit has a specific name, which can be found somewhere on their bodies.
It's always a special occasion with a sacrifice and fighter finally meet. Two individuals bound by a specific name that belongs to only them -- nothing can compare.
It's time for two pairs to meet.
This is based off the manga and anime series Loveless. Reading the manga or watching the anime isn't required, but if you have little knowledge about it outside of this post then I would recommend checking out this and this. There are other key factors that should be noted about this world, like the following:
Animal features
In the world of Loveless, everybody is born with cat ears and a tail, which are shed after they have engaged in some form of sexual intercourse, thereby making the ears and tail a metaphor for virginity.

Fighting and Pairings
The fighting style in the series is also unique; fighting can only occur between couples (with a few exceptions), where one is the Sacrifice, who receives all damage, and the other is the fighter, who attempts to attack the enemy couple. The pairing system is used by the author to add romance between the two people in each couple. The special kind of battle used in Loveless is called a spell battle, since attack and defense mechanisms are activated by pronouncing certain words—spell words—which have a special ability or meaning in battle context. Fighters and sacrifices are united by their names which are given to them beyond their control, possibly before birth. A few examples of pairing names include "Beloved", "Loveless", "Breathless", "Sleepless", and "Zero". Those who go against their name to battle alongside a person of a different name suffer ridicule from other teams, also both Fighter AND Sacrifice will suffer damage if there is no connection between the two. It is suggested that people are born in pairings and that they don't form a pairing until after they meet, therefore the naming system; the bond between two persons is something that is decided for them before they have the ability to make a different choice. This seems to be a type of caste.
There will be a max limit of four character slots in total, meaning three other characters are welcome. This means that there will be two units, and the names that belong to those units can be discussed once it's been ironed out who is with who.
For now, the roleplay will be about the sacrifices and fighters meeting and bonding with one another, but as things progress we can all work together to create further plots! If you are confused about anything then don't hesitate to ask. It's been a while since I've read the manga, so odds are I may be off on some things as I'm relearning the series.
