Vnou
Bureaucratic. Gilded. Soulbonds.
Current Year 3101
Earth AU
A place where magic isn't so obvious and everyone is born into their castes, their Shra. Where there seems to be an order to everything and the normal populace is largely kept ignorant to the machinations of the political chess game played by the elite families, that is far more brutal than their golden veneer would suggest.
Modern Opulent Romance
Vnou Is...
A modern earth AU with a darker undertone and a subtle touch of magic in the form of the Shra - the ability to mentally dominate, control, or influence others. There is an entire society constructed around the rules for thee but not for me. The world is run by the noble families though often in secret, through the use of proxies and heavy corruption.
And the people are...
Largely ignorant to the corruption that exists around them. The common vnou people exist in a mirror to our own, living and working in a world that is seemingly fair and more advanced from the brutal histories when vnou used one another. Powerful Shra are a myth and things have become, at least publicly, mundane and it is all carefully crafted to be maintained in this way.
Welcome to Vnou

This ability also enables vnou to find their soul mate and bond permanently to one another.
