BONDS;

Bonds;
What are humans without connection? In Cyndane bonds are an emotional currency that helps to shape the worlds and cycles that the characters explore. A bond might be love, loyalty, rivalry, obsession, or a shared moment that refuses to let go. Whether tender or toxic, chosen or unavoidable, any connection that leaves a lasting mark on who a character is can take root as a bond.
Bond Details;
Threadbound | Level 1
Pros: Each bonded character can sense the general direction and rough distance of the other (near / far / very far). Strong emotional spikes (fear, pain, rage) can be detected, but not their cause.
Cons: Strong emotions bleed across unintentionally, which may begin to interfere with communication or a character’s ability to mask their emotions.
Soulbound | Level Two
Pros: Characters can pinpoint each other’s exact location within a limited range. Intentional emotional impressions (comfort, warning, urgency) can be sent.
Cons: Truth detection; when one of a bonded pair lies, the listener feels a dissonance (pressure, wrongness, chill). They don’t know the truth, only that something is false.
Fatebound | Level Three
Pros: When together, bonded characters may ignore exhaustion, pain, and move past normal human limits for a short time, with their delayed symptoms catching up later. Bonded characters may see or hear through the other’s perspective for 30 seconds if bond-mate allows it. Both of these abilities are limited to once-per-month use. (They reset every 30 days).
Cons: Strong physical or emotional harm in one character causes the other to feel it even if they are not close. Uncontrolled feelings (anger, joy, love, etc.) can be felt across the bond even if they are unrelated to the character in question, making obfuscation even more difficult.
Bonds slots;
Each player in Cyndane receives one bond slot per month they play. These must be used in the calendar month they are available to them. The cut off for bond slot expenditures will be midnight Eastern Time on the final day of the month.

Additionally if a character's bond-mate drops, that bond may be recalled for an additional bond slot and used within 30 days of the other character's drop date. If using a dropped slot please link to the drop/sweep comment of the bond that is being recalled under 'bond slot used'. Otherwise list monthly.

April-May 2026 notes: Because applications wont be until May 2026 and we want to encourage people to play on the April TDM, those threads can be used for an additional bond slot within the month of April. For the 'bond slot used' you must link a TDM thread.

When you’re ready to claim a bond, comment below using the form provided. Both players must acknowledge the bond before it is accepted.
