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.

Kayla wanted to impress Percy so bad recently. It wasn't too odd for the airhead to try and cook something amazing for her lovely assassin. But this time she wanted to buy something of use for Percy. Something that could come in handy. Maybe a knife or something she can hide and use at some point. She thought as she stuck a finger to her chin in thought as she walked along the sidewalk passing by the many people in the downtown area of the city. Percy hated Kayla going out like this. But sometimes it got really lonely sitting alone in the house by herself. So with the little money Percy gave her every now and again she ventured forth to the city to see if she could find something special for her crush.
The blue haired girl walked along the sidewalk stopping in front of various shops to peer through the windows and see what they had. Some were bars, some were bakeries others were just random stuff. She wondered if there was a place for like pocket knifes or something. So the search continued. Rounding a block every now and again to another. Walking down long stretch ways of the city not knowing much about the city to even know where she was going. By this point it was probably around 3 or 4 in the afternoon so it was much more busy as people started to get out of work for the day. Knowing the air head it wouldn't be long before she got lost.
Kayla walked into a couple tacky shops to find dead ends of that special something for Percy. It was becoming quit frustrating...albeit saddening to the girl to be so useless that she can't even find a good gift for the one she loves from the bottom of her heart. As she walked down the sidewalk of city giving up on ever finding that special something. As she walked she looked around and didn't see anything familiar in sight. She looked around like a lost puppy trying to find a new home or it's owner. She felt a couple sniffles coming as she was now lost and had no idea how to get home or if anyone would help her.
She strolled through the city a couple more times to only end up at the same place over and over again. When the sniffles started to increase. As she walked into a alleyway, only going in a couple steps to sit down. As she sat down, she curled legs into her chest and buried her head into her legs as she wrapped her arms around said legs. Right when she did this, she felt tears start to stream down her cheeks as she started to cry thinking she would die out here in this concrete jungle...mostly crying because she wouldn't be able to see Percy again one last time...
@christina Notes: Help this poor girl find her way home.
Christina found herself wandering around town. There weren't any TRS agents in sight, despite her searching around them during the whole morning. With a sigh she continued walking around, bored to death. Within a few minutes she sighed, rounding a corner she noticed a Terror being attacked by a few TRS hunters. She created ice, blocking the attack to save the Terror from their attacks before moving off to the side to watch them. There was nothing more pleasant than watching TRS agents fall to the hand of a Terror, or her hand, that too. To her surprise the Terror was killed off within a few minutes so she found herself fleeing as she threw ice behind her. She had no problems fighting her opponents but she wasn't about to get trapped in a corner.
The TRS agents were right behind her, she rounded another corner before creating more ice to throw in their direction. She would then bolt away from them, pushing inside of a building before rushing up the stairs, once on the roof she would run to the fire escape before climbing down to the ground. Since they had been foolish enough to go into the building she started running North to keep her distance from them. She would round a corner, hearing a noise she would come to a stop when she noticed Kayla, a blue hair girl. She looked somewhat familiar but where she she seen her before... It clicked within a few seconds, Persephone's girl.... Persephone was a fellow assassin. She would refrain from moving closer or giving comforted words towards the girl, unsure of what to do.
Kayla kept crying in the foot of the alleyway unsure of what to go or where to go. She was totally lost. Plus this was one of the first times she has been out without her amazing Percy. And she knew where everything was. Kayla did not. Was she going to die out here...alone not able to see the amazing assassin one last time. As tears kept streaming down her face ruining the beautiful looks of the blue haired nephilim. Luckily a storm didn't start...yet. The poor nephilim doesn't know that she can create a storm just by her being upset. So luckily today she wasn't creating on by being upset. It mostly only happened when Percy made her angry. But far and few between they happened because she was sad. And this totally counts as a time for a storm to be created and cause a lot of trouble. Luckily she wasn't doing it.
Kayla's face was an absolute mess by this point. Her eyes reddened by her constant crying. Nothing can save her now. Her nose a little runny. She truly was a hot mess. When she heard foot steps approach as she looked up a bit from her ball. She couldn't see clearly mostly because of the tears. But the lean figure and not saying anything...that has to be Percy right? Instinctivly Kayla jumped out of her sitting posture and tackled the person she thought was Percy standing above her. Falling to ground, she started to nuzzle her face into the shoulder of her so thought Percy.
She kept nuzzling her face when she felt something weird. Why does she have long hair? She looked up and cleared her eyes to see someone else. "ehehe...who are you." she questioned still on top of the poor soul who Kayla thought was her own special person. But in fact it wasn't. Kayla was still on top of the poor soul that Kayla had mistaken for her own Percy. "Sorry hehehe." she said again. Kayla was kinda dumb and not standing up or getting off of the person in question just laying on top of her while talking...
Christina was caught off guard when Kalya had suddenly stood up from the ground before tackling her to the ground. She laid on the ground unsure of what to say while Kayla started nuzzling her shoulder. The question had caught her by surprise, it wasn't everyday she got tackled to the ground by a girl. She wasn't sure if she was supposed to be annoyed or flustered by the action but seeing as it was Persephone's girl, she wasn't about to pick a fight with her. "A friend of Persephone's...." She answered, remaining on the ground, hoping Kayla would get off of her soon. A friend was an easier explanation that admitting they were assassins. Knowing fully well their leader wouldn't be pleased if he found out that outsiders knew about their profession. Kayla remained on top of her, apologizing for being on her but remained on her. "If it is all the same to you.... can I get up now?" It was one thing to be mistaken as Persephone, despite her hair being purple and sooooooo much longer, it was another that this girl was still laying on top of her. She decided she was mostly uncomfortable because she had been chased by TRS agents only moments prior.
Kayla looked at the woman as she was still laying ontop of her as she explained she was one of Percy's friends. Then asking if she could get off. Kayla chuckled a little bit as she rolled off of the purple haired girl then bounced up. "Wait if you are a friend of Percy did she send you to come save me." she said as she looked at Chris with sparkling eyes.
She kept looking at her when a memory of a girl that looked like the one in front of her. "Wait Christi is that youuuu." she asked as she dried the few remaining tears away to fully see the purple long haired girl in front of her. Yes Kayla had a nickname or a shorten version of their name when ever she met someone. It was just easier for the air head to remember the random nicknames she gives people. She doesn't know why either. But that is just the way it is. So Christina was her name she just shortened it to Christi so she could remember it.
She had helped Percy home a couple times when she was really hurt so that Kayla could heal her. Of course Kayla caused a massive storm when ever Percy came home with the help of someone else. Mostly cause that meant she was so hurt she couldn't make it home on her own. Kayla took a step closer to the purple haired girl. "You hair is all messy." she said as started to straighten it out without even asking if she could do. Brushing some of Chris' hair behind her ear and then going behind her to straiten out the rest. "You are mess." she jokingly said. And this is the air head for you. One second crying...another fixing the hair of a pretty much stranger she only met a couple of times. She gets distracted so easily. @christina
Christina couldn't help but feel slightly relieved when Kayla had gotten off of her. It just.... it made her uncomfortable and now she was slowly starting to feel slightly better. The question had caught her off guard, she hadn't seen Persephone in a while but how would she go about explaining that she happened to find her by chance. "No...." As if to make up for it, "I can help you find her though." She wasn't completely sure what she had gotten herself into but she couldn't bring herself to just leave Kayla here, knowing Persephone it would be worse then being caught with her girl friend. When Kayla gave called her by nickname she shook her head slightly.
"Yup, that is me..." She wasn't going out of her way to correct Kayla, it took way too much effort. She found herself stuck in thought until Kayla made the comment about her hair, without permission she had started fixing it. She would have protested but Kayla was already moving behind her to continue fixing it. "Jeez.... not sure if I should be thrilled or upset...." She joked back, sighing as she tried deciding on how she'd handle Kayla. I need to figure out where she saw her last and go from there.... She thought to herself, "Where did you see Persephone last?" She asked, figuring it would be a good location to start.
Kayla brushed Christi's hair with her hand trying to get all the loose strands to stay but they just wouldn't. When Christi asked where she last saw Percy. "Oh uhm. When she left for work.... Which means like five hours ago at the house." she replied as she kept tugging on the purple hair trying to get to stay. "Grrr. Your hair won't cooperate with me." She said sounding frustrated. Before she just let go of Christi's hair and twirled back in front of her.
"I know. Why don't we go get your hair washed and done that way you wont look so bad... Plus we can go get some food." she said with a smile as she started to walk away. Don't know how Percy does it. How does Percy stand this air head? She can be so bad some times. Like how does one handle someone that has a different thought pop into her head and then she does certain said random thought. Like how?
The blue haired girl walked back onto the sidewalk and started to walk down the street. "Hair dresser....hair dresser....hair dresser." she kept saying to herself looking for one among the many shops in their area. She really was determined to find one now. Especially since Christi's hair wouldn't do what she wanted. She kept walking along the sidewalk not really paying attention if Chris was following her or not. She was too caught in her own little world to notice or not. She was too determined to find that hair dresser. @christina
Christina sighed when Kayla started messing wit her hair, "I see." She answered as she debated on if it would be best to take Kayla home or try and find Persephone. She was pulled from her thoughts when Kayla started complaining about her hair. To her surprise, Kayla had suggested for her to get it washed so that it wouldn't look bad anymore. Food wasn't a bad idea but Persephone was supposed to eat with her... or at the very least, be here too. She was about to answer but Kayla had turned to walk back down the side walk. She stood up and started walking quickly behind Kayla as to avoid losing sight of her. "Kayla.... that is your name right? Wait up...." She had met her through Persephone but there were so many people she had to remember, sometimes she had to question on if she had the right face to the right person. She walked next to Kayla, "I don't want to get my hair washed and done...... who cares if it looks bad.... lets take you home so that you can get some food...." She suggested, it would save them both some money and she could wash her hair at home she didn't need to pay somebody to do it.
Kayla walked down the sidewalk as she heard Christi from behind her asking if her name was Kayla . Kayla never gets to meet many people because she never really gets to go out that much. So when she meets someone. She easily remembers them. Hence why Kayla knows what Chris looks like and why she gave her that nickname. But at the same time Kayla knows nothing about this person that was trying to help her. As she looked at Chris next to her and nodded. "yup my name is Kayla don't wear it out it." as she pointed finger guns at the purple haired woman... 100% of the time people face palm at finger guns and the dad joke she just threw out. But to Kayla this was her type of humor. Especially dad jokes and puns. THEY WERE THE BEST.
Kayla pretty much ignored Chris' request to not get her hair washed or done. Saying that who would care if it or she looked bad. When she stopped in her tracks and over dramatically sighed in surprise. "BUT WHAT ABOUT YOUR BOYFRIEND." she blurted out loudly. As she looked at Chris with wide eyes tearing up. "You have a boyfriend right?" she said as her eyes sparkled up... One second on one thought, another second on another. "Tell me what is he like." he kept going. "Or maybe it's a girlfriend. What is she like then. I dont judge hehe" ....."Are the amazing like Percy?" .... "Wait no one is as amazing as Percy." .... "Do you not want someone cause that would be a shame. Cause like you are totally hot." .... "OR ARE YOU TOO SHY" she finally stopped rambling on and on about random stuff as she just looked at Chris with sparkling eyes waiting for her to answer every single question she just asked. @christina
Christina found herself following after Kayla, sighing when she finally got around to answering her question. So this was in fact Kayla, the real question. Where the hell was Persephone and how long would it take for them to find her? Kayla ignored her comment about the hair being washed but when Kayla countered, she had stopped in her tracks. She didn't have a boy friend, there was a TRS lieutenant that she couldn't stop thinking about but he wasn't her boy friend. She would blush when Kayla demanded her to tell her what her boy friend was like before correcting herself to state, possible girl friend. "I'm single and not looking." It was an honest answer, one that she didn't care to go into details for. "But there is somebody that I do enjoy teasing from time to time.... Shhh I can't have him figuring this out though." She would wink at Kayla, hoping she would keep her secret.
"As for the hair washing, I find it is much better when I do it myself. I don't want anybody else touching my hair." She couldn't help but imagine Emmerson possibly touching her hair and cuddling her, but she would force that thought of her head as quickly as it had come. Kayla mentioning that she was hot and shy made her blush even more. "I'm not shy........ and thanks for the compliment." It took a lot of effort to get that comment out. Most commonly guys would flirt with her, it wasn't everyday it was a girl.... none other than Persephone's girl friend. "How about we talk about you instead.... how are things with you and Persephone?" She felt a great need to get the topic off of herself and onto them instead.
Kayla looked at Chris with wide eyes she started to answer every single question Kayla had just asked. Sometimes it was a wonder how Percy even dealt with the over excitable Kayla. Maybe because it was her persona of being cold and not many emotions that Percy dealt with Kayla not giving her an inch to keep that excitable mentality she has when she is around Percy. It was a surprise considering Chris denied every single thing Kayla wanted to do with her. But when Chris said she did have a certain somebody and winked at her. Kayla lit up like a Christmas tree, her eyes sparkling a lot... As she moved closer to Chris. "Have you...you know...kissed...or did it...." she said with a lot of pauses as she wanted to know. It wasn't everyday that she got out and was able to talk to others so her personal skills weren't always the best.
Kayla then walked on the other side of Chris and grabbed her arm and started to walk with her in hand, and she asked how Percy and her were going. "Fine I guess... I feel like I annoy her a lot though... She never just sits around and talks to me. Sometimes I feel really lonely..." she said with a long pause before shaking her head. "But I still love her so it fine." She said kind of sadly as she looked away from Chris like she was trying to be strong and not letting it affect her but it was clear that it was. @christina
Christina inched away when Kayla had moved towards her. She couldn't help but blush when Kayla asked her question. "I'd rather not answer that question." She couldn't bring herself to answer that question, what she had with Emmerson was complicated. Besides having already made the comment about being single, she hoped it would be dropped sooner or later. Preferably as soon as possible. When Kayla moved to stand beside her, she felt somewhat better, though having her arm wrapped around hers while holding hands was somewhat strange to her. For starters she didn't normally do this with another person unless her goal was to kill them. Two, she just normally didn't do this. Not to mention how weird it was to have Kayla, who had a girl friend holding her arm when it really should have been Kayla holding Persephone's. She asked the question, to change the subject, feeling better that Kayla was answering it. "I'm sure that isn't true. She most likely just moves a lot...." She couldn't give her tips on how to handle Persephone, Kayla would have to sort that out with her girl friend. "I'm happy to hear that." She honestly was happy to hear that, it just meant once they found Persephone, she would be able to leave.
Kayla walked along with Chris still in tow as she was pretty much forcing Chris along. Kayla was horrid with social ques and when not to do things people were uncomfortable with. But that is half the charm of the blue haired girl...He total lack of sense and just general air headiness. Plus she thought it made her more cute. but that was her opinion. Most people including Chris probably found her extremely annoying of sorts. But to be fair she doesn't know better since she was so sheltered with her parents. And even more when Percy and her father took her in. So the air head didn't have many opportunities to socialize with people.
As Kayla dragged Chris along she saw a little snack stand. As she pretty much didn't hear Chris as she shouted. "SNACKS. Im hungry." she blurted out and dragged chris over to the cart as they stood in front of it. She ordered some random stuff as she glanced over at Chris. "Do you want anything. My treeaat." she said with a gleeful smile.
As she grabbed the couple of sweets she order and anything Chris ordered if she did get anything and walked away to sit on a stone fence sort of thing to dig into the piping hot sweet. Which was a cinaroll. As she started to stuff her face with the food and move her legs back and forth as they hung over the side like the little kid she is. "So Chriti, tell me about this boy. Is he smoking hot." she asked as she wasn't going to drop this topic after hearing her answer a few minuets ago.
Christina followed Kayla despite wanting to take her home already. She had things to do, well no that was a lie but she didn't feel like babysitting Kayla was worth her time. Not when Persephone should have kept a closer eye on her girl friend. Kayla dragged her to a snack stand, stating that she was hungry. "No thanks..." She wasn't sure how much money Kayla had on her, but she wasn't about to be accused of leading Persephone's girl on. No.... Persephone would know about Kayla spending money only on herself and the sooner she came for her girl friend the sooner she could move on with life. Kayla pulled her towards a fence before sitting on. Christina didn't move to join her. Trying to find Persephone was taking too much time. I would text but I really badly don't want to get on her bad side.... and it is a work phone.... She knew Ace would be upset if she used it for any other reason. She found herself deep in thoughts on how she was going to find Persephone, before Kayla had asked her question and pulled her from her thoughts. "I don't know... it is just a weird connection is all." She really didn't feel comfortable admitting it to Kayla.
Kayla stuffed her face in one quick second. The couple of things she bought at the stand were gone. She pretty much had inhaled them, leaving only a couple of crumbs around her face. Despite the girl being pretty stupid and mostly useless. She could clean a meal in seconds. It was her one good quaility? if you can even call it that...she just likes food.
As Chris answered her question pretty vaugly. As she frowned a bit. "coooome on. Tell me. Not like Percy is gunna find me anytime soon. Maybe I can help you? I watch enough t.v and those stupid romance shows. So I could help big time." she said as she started to swing her feet back and forth. She wanted to know and wanted to help her only friend beside Percy.
