Welcome to The Duality of Man, an original animanga role-play that features numerous supernatural creatures. Unfortunately, these various species have distanced themselves because of the war that occurred thousands of years ago, plaguing some with eyes that only see their dualism. While others meddle themself with their differences, two groups fight, each attempting to eliminate the other in for their definition of worldly peace. These two groups of the Terror Response Syndicate (TRS) and the Assembly of Phantoms (AP). With individuals fighting merely over their differences, it brings uncertainty to the outcome of this war.
We happily accept all role-players as long as they obey the rules and are capable of meeting our word count of 50. This does include those who are unfamiliar with this style of role-playing. The staff of The Duality of Man are willing to happily help those who are new to the role-playing world so they feel comfortable on site. Feel free to message the staff if you need help, they can be found here or in the site Discord and will gladly answer questions alongside calm concerns.

season
Summer 2022
Heat has broken through into a glorious summer. The snow has entirely dried through the spring, leaving to the brilliance of the warmer months. Terror activity has risen as people are brought out of their homes, leaving the TRS in a position of consistent work. Each are attempting to maintain victory in the endless struggle for power.
With April, an activity check has arrived for members to do! Please post on the AC and tag all your accounts, including WIPs and OOC accounts. Failure to post on this AC will result in your accounts being marked inactive or deleted. Please note, due to a late start, the due date for this check has been adjusted for one time and one time only.
a small yawn escaped her lips as she adjusted her bag. this wasn't exactly how she planned to visit the festival, but she figured it would have to do. she wasn't exactly sure how, but she ended up being on one of the patrols. medics were always needed and she ended up getting volunteered. she didn't mind as she would hopefully get sometime to walk around. she arrived at her post and started to look through things. making sure everything that was listed was accounted for. she hoped no one needed their help tonight. it was such a lovely day.
she sighed and waited for the two that had gone on patrol. they said they'd be taking turns. two at the home base and the other two doing a walk around the perimeter. it was in the forest so there was only so much they could check. soon it would be her turn and she'd get to stretch her legs.
it seemed like the two did more than just a perimeter check. they came back with food and sat down. she simply laughed and walked away, not before she stole a bite of their food. now she was ready for the patrol.
There was apparently a festival happening… This prompted Nike to go and check it out, she is hardly out of her house nowadays, probably didn’t help that she loves spending time with her mother and father, especially since she wanted to make up for the time lost back when she was in captivity.
She has heard a lot about this particular festival, and she has never been to one before, so she felt very excited. She wished she could bring her mother and father to the festivities with her, but that could cause a few problems if it was revealed that the angels were spying on them once again. So she will just have to enjoy it for herself, and then tell her parents all about it… maybe they might sell some souvenirs??
Biting her lower lip, she then crossed her arms she gracefully walked past some small groups of people, who also seemed to be wanting to partake in the festival’s activities.
“This just goes to show how lonely I feel…” The girl mumbled as she looked behind her. “I wish mother and father could join me…”
she popped the last fry she managed to steal into her mouth. she was going to have to find that stand. the fries were delicious. then again it had been a few hours since she had eaten. dinner had been the last thing on her mind. actually she had planned on getting dinner at the festival. though not in her current attire and certainly not alone. everything seemed to be alright. she continued her walk, making out the flatten grass. if they kept walking for much longer, they were sure to leave a trail. she sighed, closed her eyes and stretched her arms above her head.
she felt like she had been sitting there forever. she rolled her neck hearing a couple of pops. she was going to enjoy her walk. the other two had and not the only thing on her mind was what she was going to eat. she picked up her pace once she caught sight of all the different stands. she could hear the laughter of those around her and the smells, everything smelled delicious. she had been a bit to distracted by the rumbling in her tummy that she bumped into someone that wasn't walking as fast."oops, sorry didn't mean to run you over."
Being bumped into someone was one way to greet someone, at least, that’s what she thought. She also felt that it was a bit rude, but judging by the fact that the girl apologised, it really was an accident. So here is Nike, on her butt as she looked to the green haired girl.
“Run me over?? I am fine, I promise, I am not flat on the floor, I promise that too.” She spoke with curiosity, it was also apologised in a way that made Nike very amused. She decided to waver it away though.
Getting up, Nike then crossed her arms over in a friendly fashion and smiled softly. “My name is Nike.” She greeted before looking to the woman curiously. “I hope you are enjoying this spectacular event.” She opted for some sort of conversation opener, it was literally the only thing she could think of at that time.

He found himself headed to the Festival of Lanterns, situated in Calico Forest, and he did know why he was there. The TRS has tasked him on a mission, and that is to patrol the area for the night along with other TRS agents reinforced there. He'd been tasked with so many missions like this, and has gained a lot of experience over time, so there shouldn't be any problem with this mission. His friends and colleagues still try to get him to take a break and rest from missions for a while, but when Jason goes to a mission, they can't do a thing about it. He was... persistent that way.
And so he was here, walking along the rugged path, watching as thousands of people laugh and smile and buy whatever they could from the booths that were standing around on the sidelines. The young man smiled as he watched; his sisters and friends would've been happy to come here. Jason headed here for a mission, though, so as he walked along, he scanned the area for any signs of familiar TRS members, or any sign of a small quarters somewhere around here.
While walking, he almost accidentally bumps the shoulder of a green-haired girl; almost tripping on his feet, he turns to the girl and smiles apologetically. "S-Sorry... Didn't know y-you were... standing there..." He managed to say in between stutters and a tired voice. One would find it evident that he was exhausted, but insisted in coming here anyway. Jason couldn't care less about his own welfare, though; there was a mission to complete and he had to accomplish it at all costs. Even if he'd get past this night staying awake.
@salrynn / @danika ● hope you don't mind me sticking him to the thread! ● 000
it seemed like she had been walking a bit to fast. the poor girl she ended bumping into ended on the ground. danika felt so bad she quickly stuck her hand out to help the girl up."well im glad you're alright, but still."she was a little to late as the nike picked herself up and introduced herself."it's nice to meet you nike, i'm danika."she said with a smile, still embarrassed over the fact that she had knocked the cute girl down.
she laughed softly at her words."actually i was just rushing over to get some food. haven't actually took the time to wander around."she commented before it seemed karma struck. honestly she wasn't surprised that someone almost bumped into her. they were standing in the middle of a crowded area. unlike nike, danika wasn't knocked over.
she laughs once more."it's alright, it's a bit crowded right now. are you alright?"she asks as she takes in the familiar uniform and the fact that he didn't appear to be fully alert. he sounded tired, but then again maybe that was just the way he sounded. she wasn't completely certain what department, but she could tell he worked for trs just like her.

Danika was a pretty name, Nike had to admit to herself. She was also glad that she also seemed to be a very happy person.
“Food is always great, which stall were you plan- Oh dear.”
She looked down to Danika, who was suddenly on the floor. Her sentence, destroyed, her plans, forgotten. She couldn’t help but chuckle at the irony though. First it was her that was bumped into, then it was Danika after that, by a cute guy too.
“At least he’s cute.” Nike whispered to herself before placing herself in some sort of thinking stance, her hand was under her chin, and one of her arms seemed to be in a crossed position now, except the hand was cuddling the arm that wasn’t crossed and was under her chin.
“Yeah, it is just a bit.” Nike reiterated. “But hey, at least you bumped into someone friendly.” She admitted before halting her thinking stance and shrugging her shoulders. “Let's all grab a bite to eat together, you both sound like you need some good food and some good company.”

That was undeniably stupid of him, bumping into a girl like that. While the large masses of crowds all around the place were to be blamed partially on this dilemma, Jason's exhaustion and lack of alertness should be taken the full blame for it. Not like he couldn't see that much in the dark, and in these crowded places, but still. He should have paid more attention to wherever he was going.
She said she was alright, but somehow Jason didn't buy it. The young vampire scratched the back of his neck and chuckled nervously. "A-Ah, is that so... Again, I'm very sorry for that." He apologized once more, sighing deeply and closing his eyes. Compose yourself, Jason, nothing majorly bad has happened yet. He told himself, closing his eyes for a couple of seconds to compose himself before his eyes opened once more.
The green-haired girl asked if he was alright, and he nodded and smiled as a response. "I-I'm fine, thank you." The tiredness of his voice might give off the impression that he was lying, that he wasn't fine and he actually needed rest, but to him it made no difference whether he sounded tired or not. He'd just continue doing his work, anyway.
He then turned to the other girl, and simply smiled and nodded at her remark. "I suppose so." But his smile suddenly dissipates into a doubtful frown when she suddenly offers that they get some food; the young man waves his hands in front of him and chuckles nervously at this. "I-I'm sorry, I'm afraid I may have to decline... I have some work to do..." So much paperwork, so many tasks... Jason simply couldn't leave a job like that.
@salrynn / @danika ● someone pull him out from work please ● 000
nike had asked her where she had been planning to get food. All she knew was that she wanted fries. She wasn't sure what other things she would pick up to make some sort of a meal. She was knocked down. The guy was very aplogetic and honestly she found it a bit funny she had been knocked down herself when onmy a few minutes before it had been Nike that had fallen.
Was he really aplogetic or did he not care? His tone was rather flat. Maybe he was having an off day. Honestly it was only an accident it wasn't like he had gone out of his way to knock her over. She looked over to Nike and beamed."That's a brilliant idea!"She looked at him curiously."really? You lool like you could use a break."she told him as she placed her hands on her hips. She wasn't going to let him ditch them."you owe me mister. Knocking me down and everything."she told him in a soft pleading voice.
Nike chuckled at the both of them when Jason said he had to do some work. Was Nike going to allow this?? Hell no! Nike knew that both her and Danika wanted this guy to come along with them. Besides, it seemed like he needed some sunshine and rainbows, because it looked like he had just gone through some intense doolally and needed to sit down.
“Girl, drag him. We’re taking him whether he wants to or not!” Nike stated as she chuckled. “Lets get some foodsies, what does everyone want?! I want some hot dogs personally. Or burgers, I could REALLY down a burger right now… oh! Is there… any place that sells whiskey here??”
Nike didn’t want to mention her alcoholic ways to the both of them, but she could also just down a glass of whiskey right now.
“Do you two also want anything alcoholic??” She queried with a smile on her face. “I know a few drinks that aren’t really that bad alcoholic wise, and taste really nice! Cider for example, is really nice. Especially the fruity ones.” Despite the suggestion, she was trying her best to keep herself under wraps, and kept repeating to herself that she won’t get drunk.

There was no escape from the two women he had just bumped into, no matter what he did about it... he can feel himself growing pale once the green-haired girl -- Danika, he had heard -- pointed out that he owed him for actually bumping into her. And while he did want to protest, he had to admit... she has a point. What better way to actually say you mean an apology to strangers by treating them to a food trip?
He lowered his head, his face heating up. Looking away from the two, he chuckled nervously, scratching the back of his head. "I... I suppose so..." He turned to the girls with a small, tired smile, sighing but was not disappointed at all. "Alright then. I'll be coming with you both. I simply couldn't just ditch two women I just happened to bump into."
Jason, in particular, didn't like being dragged, but it seemed the blonde haired woman wanted Danika to drag him along. He would yelp once he is actually dragged to come with them, eyes slightly widening. "Ah... no need to drag me, I'm right here with you both...!" His voice rises slightly at this. He would never like being dragged. It's surprising and unexpected, and he didn't like it. But might as well just have the girls do what they want with him while the night lasts, then.
The other woman then declares that they should get some food, asking them what they want and even inquiring if they would also like something alcoholic. He wasn't hungry at all -- he just ate some food from the stalls before making his way to the office where he was supposed to work -- but a drink would be nice. He particularly liked wine the best, but he wasn't sure if there were some around here.
"...Wine. It would be nice if there's any wine around here." He gave an answer for one of Nike's many questions; she wondered if there was any whiskey being sold here, after all. "As for the first question, I'm not at all particularly hungry. But I could buy you girls something you like if you want..." Luckily he had brought along enough money just in case this really happened.
@salrynn / @danika ● someone pull him out from work please ● 000
danika looks at nike and smiles."now that's an idea..."she says before laughing. though she would never do that to someone, unless they really deserved to be dragged. she looks over at him and ponders the idea. he looked like he could use a bit of food and fun. she had completely forgotten why she was here in the first place. though she hoped they wouldn't scold her too badly."don't worry there will be no dragging involved."she smiles at him.
"i definitely could go for some fries. a burger sounds good too."danika says with a nod before she laughs at nike's words."um, im not sure, but it wouldn't hurt to look right?"she says with a shrug."actually i think im going to pass for right now. im currently working..."she says with a small laugh.
danika shakes her head at his offer to buy them something."im alright. you don't really need to spend money on me. i was just joking about you having to buy me food."she told him with a smile. perhaps is she was better acquainted with him she would of taken him up on his kind offer, but she felt bad. she barely knew the guy. besides they were already forcing him to tag along. she didn't want to make him feel anymore uncomfortable.
The both of them looked like they were having a really good time right now to an extent. Danika did a little giggle because of Nike dragging him, although she did eventually stop and do a little cheer with no reason at all. She couldn’t help it though! She was having so much fun!
Hearing that the two were either not wanting food or not wanting a drink, the girl beamed off a massive grin. They have no idea what she wanted to do now, she wanted to spike their drinks! Although she wouldn’t really do that, she wasn’t that bad. She may be a fallen angel, but she was born one and not sinned into one! She has feelings too, and she’d feel bad if she had done so!
“Yeah, you don’t really need to spend money on us honestly,” Nike said while giggling lightly. “Besides, just watching you having fun is satisfying enough for me! Anyways, we should find that food stand and then find that alcohol stand. We got cider, wine, burgers, and fries to find. We are on a mission!”

Of the two, the blonde woman seems the most invested in getting food, with Danika and himself just trailing behind her. The green-haired girl also does seem hungry, for a fact, but then she suddenly declares that she would have to cancel their plans of a food trip because of work. Jason does feel the same, but then again, he still owed them like promised. He doesn't say anything of the matter, and instead listens to the two girls banter more.
Danika then turns to him and tells him she's alright, adding that she had just been joking about him owing them some food a while earlier. Jason should be feeling quite a relief after she does say that, but Jason is not selfish, and doesn't go back on his word. The young man simply chuckles and shakes his head. "Sadly I don't go back on my word. If I owe you, then I owe you." The young man turns to her with a small wink, then looks back at the excitable blonde woman. "Besides, I'm starting to think that both of you are right; we all could use a break sometimes."
...Not to say that Jason would take this philosophy all into heart, though. Work is work and Jason loves work. Nothing is ever going to change that.
Nike seems to have the same opinion, telling him what Danika had stated a while earlier, even adding that seeing them both having fun was satisfying enough. Jason blinks for a couple of seconds, then chuckles at this. It was funny, thinking about it that way. But still, he feels a certain sincerity in her loud tone, and Jason reminds himself to be thankful for such attitude, even coming from a rambunctious woman such as her.
And then suddenly she declares that they are on a mission to search for various food stands, which to Jason seems quite strange for a mission; there are so many food stands settled all around here, with so many people waiting for orders. He'd passed by so many around here while rushing for work. "Looks like we don't have to search thoroughly, though. Look," He points to a few burger and fry stands lined up vertically, each serving different customers. A sly grin forms on his mouth as he turns to the two women. It almost scared Jason himself; him grinning like this was a rare occasion. But this was probably an exception.
"...Who's hungry?"
@salrynn / @danika ● OMG I AM SO VERY SORRY FOR THIS LATENESS BUT MEEEE I'VE FINALLY POSTED ● 000
she laughed softly at nike's mission objectives. though she probably couldn't of said it better herself. she had told them she really shouldn't be doing this, but it wasn't like she was going to back out now. her stomach was grumbling and she wasn't about to say no to finding food. she cheered nike on."let's go!"
danika shook her head and figured that he was going to be a bit stubborn with all of this."fine, but that just means i owe you."she said with a smile."yes! how does that one saying go...all work and no play....well whatever the case everyone needs a break and you know everyone needs to eat."she said with a nod.
it seemed the search was over before it had even begun. jason had pointed out to some near by food stands and danika laughed."that was sure hard work."she said jokingly as she started to move towards one."oh maybe i'll get bacon on my burger and do you think they have cheese fries?"she asked aloud.
