For me, personally, I hate when people say me or Tara are soulbonds, because we're not. First off, we're not fictional characters, secondly, we have NOTHING to do with the charries that we resemble...
I am Faith Alana Alastair, I have a middle and a last name, unlike the fictional character I resemble...big shit, I look like someone else...lots of people get mistaken for other people...I hold no illusions that I'm a slayer, or anything else...I chose the name Faith for myself, because I identified with aspects of the charrie...lots of people choose names for similar reasons...
I didn't mean to rant, but I wanted to say that before anybody else from my system said anything, because someone has brought it up before(someone on this comm, not in my system)and it's like an author's note, y'know?
anyway. Faith
Rick here: I believe that soulbonds exist...as for them being "fictional characters", I don't believe so. It seems to me to be a bit like writing fan fiction...I take buffy, who Joss Whedon created, and change her around, and make her into someone different. If someone has a Buffy, or a Sulu, or a Rory, or a Draco, or whatever, then imho, it just means that this "basis" or "backround" started someone who now has a life of their own...emotions, thoughts, whathaveyou.

Just my two cents.
