Some were rezzed before I met them.
Others were rezzed by the Wow.
One was rezzed because she died while I was already bonded to her.
Examples of rezzed by Wow: Lucrecia Crescent, Shuyin, Isara Gunther, Aria Bennett, Oerba Yun Fang
Examples of rezzed way before I met them: Aerith Gainsborough, some once-dead Fire Emblem girls from Rekka No Ken
Girl Who Died While I Was Bonded To Her And Got Rezzed By The Current Bond: Oerba Dia Vanille

Whatcha gonna do, little buckaroo? | i be pimpin' madoka ficsAnd like I said, for many of those villains, they would find the bond that caused such emotions to be a weakness to eliminate, not something to cherish. Or they'd find a way to abuse the bond for their own ends, even if it's just tormenting the bond for laughs, since they're probably incapable of actually killing them.
Don't take life too seriously. It's only a temporary situation.No.
I have Namine, Marluxia, and Xion fragmented souls too.
Also, Caitlin's Wow has peaked and she will be sworn in sometime tonight. The next Wow is on Ariella Kent, which should be interesting considering she's still an extremely young superhero, and may even be younger than my youngest bond Chibiusa (who is 8). I often get along better with children than those closer to my age (don't judge me. I don't know why either), and Ariella's too young for me to worry about her looking down at me, so she ought to be interesting.
Ariella is quite possibly too young to come to my school (though when I was in 7th grade the Inuyasha people would let then-7-year-old Rin come often, so who knows).

Please don't tell me that I'm dreaming When all I ever wanted was to dream another sunset with youI asked this too- asking a second question doesn't cancel out the first one.
EDIT: Eh, That sounded antagonistic. I have been listening to your answers, I just didn't have anything to add. Thanks for taking the time to answer, it's very interesting.

Ariella Kent (Supergirl Number 4)
Ariella will be my youngest bond if I end up with her. According to Kara, she is 7 years old, meaning DC aged her exactly one year in the twelve she's been in comics (though her status in the continuity is rocky at best, nigh-nonexistent at worst). 14 is considered young for a bond (in my guardians' personal hierarchy, anyone below the age of 19 is considered young for a bond and has very low expectations placed on them), 7 is INSANELY young for a bond. However, with Ariella I don't need to share the same insecurities I tend to around the adult bonds as I'm getting older and my mind isn't.
Ariella's Wow is surprisingly easy for a bond so young, and for someone whose position in the canon is just about completely nonexistent (she isn't a New Earth character). Something tells me she's a lot smarter than the average 7-year-old (she's a superhero at nigh-Eldritch levels of power and she's been known to time-travel). She definitely ought to be interesting, to say the least.

Please don't tell me that I'm dreaming When all I ever wanted was to dream another sunset with youMy guardians started a hierarchy (I had nooooo part in this).
The guardians, the 83 from Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, are the top dogs of my bonds. This does not mean they go around ordering the other bonds around, this means they are my default bonds and most active, are the ones who deliver the postrecruit speeches for new bonds, and are the ones to serve as the caregiver figures for me (hence why I call them "guardians" and why I'm always obedient to them...I have no one else to be obedient to). They are the most active ones in my life at any given time. They also must be with me at all times (not my rule, theirs) when I am available (those with other bonders can switch if they're not posting by me in school, when I'm at work, training, or sleeping). They get a break from me during class (only ONE posts by me in the classroom now, since we've gotten too large), when I'm working, when I'm doing my training, or when I'm sleeping (the Night Duty posts by my bed when I'm sleeping, but it's randomly selected every time, as is the class post). You must be 19 and above to be a guardian (my rule), and any Final Fantasy character I get who is younger will be an attendant instead, as they have less responsibility (the only exception is Vanille, who was actually 16 years old when she was inaugurated into the guardians because I did not know how old she was at the time, and I never discharge anyone, plus she proved her responsibility anyway, PHENOMINALLY).
The "attendants," or other soulbonds who AREN'T from FF and KH, serve as a mixture of companions and caregivers to me, and the older ones (age 19 and up) pretty much take on the same role as the guardians, and follow their expectations when it comes to looking after me. They must enforce the rules the guardians set for me (some of them disagree with said rules, but my guardians will be pissed at them if they don't enforce them), and they have a lot of responsibilities to me, set by the guardians. Attendants do not need to be around as often as guardians and always come and go as they please throughout random portions of the day. They do not get Night Duty unless they request it (I'll always oblige a request, unless the person's a reforming villain or something), but they can be classroom posts.
The younger "attendants", below the age of 19, are not expected to have the same responsibilities as those age 19 and above. My guardians are a lot looser with them and they are expected to provide companionship rather than care and authority with me. If a Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts character is ever sworn in who is younger than 19, they will fall into this category. Bonds in this group cannot apply for Night Duty, but can be classroom posts.
"Vassals" are attendants who are applying for guardianship (yes, they can do that without being an FF or KH character). They are expected to take on all the full responsibilities of the guardians during their vassaling. If they do it correctly I'll let them be a guardian (this is my rule). So far I have not yet had a vassal, though Samus is talking about vassaling as soon as she is sure she's ready for the commitment (it'd mean changing her work schedule around COMPLETELY, and Samus LOVES her job).
Please don't tell me that I'm dreaming When all I ever wanted was to dream another sunset with youThey just get more responsibility and obligation.

@_@ I can't stay away from comics.
Please don't tell me that I'm dreaming When all I ever wanted was to dream another sunset with youI told myself I would stop coming to tvtropes, but oh well.
Since it looks like you're open for questions, I guess I'll shoot a couple your way.
1. A couple posts up, what you said makes it seem like all your bonds have to be guardians, attendants, or vassals. Are there any who fall outside of those groups?
2. Do you act as a guardian/attendant/vassal/whatever to any of your bonds, or is it just a one way thing where they all help you?
I'd download a car. If I had the right drivers.1. There is the special category my own OCs fall into that is outside of those groups. But OCs only.
2. I act as a good friend, apprentice, daughter figure, mediator, and (to the FF and KH characters only) princess.
Please don't tell me that I'm dreaming When all I ever wanted was to dream another sunset with youYou're a princess, too? Wish Fulfillment Mary Sue much?
Also, I have questions: Can you bond with faceless/masked characters? (Like Vanitas) Can one pleasure oneself with one's soulbonds? When attempting to bond with KH characters, can listening to their character/battle/Leitmotif them make bonding easier or aid in increasing their wow!

1. So all non-OCs are guardians, in the process of becoming guardians, or attendants?
2. A princess of something, or a figurative princess in the sense that you're just precious to them?
And another for good measure...
3. What are your guardians guarding you from? Real-life threats like things that cause a lot of stress, pain, and/or anxiety, or more metaphysical things like evil non-bonded spirits? A little bit of both?
Edit to add:
Did you ever here about the woman who was in love with one of the characters from Looking For Group? She was a soulbonder, and also made a lifesize fuckdoll of her astral lover. It's somewhat disturbing, and sf_drama seems to have changed its tag system so I can't find the whole story and link it. Plus there's all those Sephiroth and Snape wives out there, so I think it's safe to say that what one can do with one's soulbond is only limited by their imagination *eyebrow wiggle*

Look, about the villain thing, I think the accurate way to put it, is that they probably gain an empath connection to the bonder. So they will probably feel things like empathy, sympathy and concern that they would not normally feel by themselves all alone.
Sound right, DLC?
