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.

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.

Jester sat in his office with a mountain of paper work to do. He took a file from the top of one of the stacks of looked at it. Studying it, and reading it over many times. It was one of those dreaded days where he had to do the paper work that came with the job. Which he utterly hated. It was soooooo boring. Who wants to do paper work. It such a mundane task. And too boring for the reaper who has been alive for a long time and seen everything. So sitting down at a desk in his office was a tad bit lack luster to say the least.
He brushed some of his longer strands of hair past his ear as he just sighed. "This...This is in fact stupid." he said to himself as he got up and grabbed his signature white jacket and put it on. He buttoned down the white jacket and walked out his office. He looked at his assistant that just gave him the stink eye. "can..." he started to say as he was cut off by the glare of the assistant. "You can handle the paper work...bye." he said in one swift sentence before taking off down the hall. He wasn't about to get trapped sitting inside his office all day, that was for sure.
Jester flew down the hallway making sure not to be caught by anyone and forced to go back to his office. So he managed to escape to the training rooms where he observed some agents training. He then made his way way to the sparing area and watched some people fight. Then to the cafeteria to eat. To say the least he was pretty erratic and not staying one place for a long time. After all he got bored way too easily with everything now a days.
He made his way out of the cafeteria and down the hall with some stock pile of food in his arms. Despite being an undead and not really needing to eat...He still loved the taste of certain foods. hence why he has an arm full of food that he is caring around. As he turned down one of the halls to the mission board. He stopped in front of it to look at the variety of missions posted. He studied the board before slouching. "If I take one I will just pile up more paper work for myself." he sighed as he stuffed some food into his mouth.
a little reply for @jester Hope you don't mind Zory joining the thread!
Zoraya makes her way around the halls of the TRS Headquarters, are large smile on her face. She waves and greets everyone who passes by her, some even stopping to shake her hand in congratulations. A sense of pride rose inside her as she walks again, that large smile widening as time passes by.
How could she not be happy? She'd just completed another mission, something thrilling enough that she was proud she had completed it. She couldn't wait to report her success to the general! That is... if he's in his office for once. She's heard that the general Jester was rather lackadaisical... now she wasn't sure if this mission was worth reporting to him.
The angel excitedly threw open the doors of Jester's office once she arrived. "General, guess what--" She was only greeted by the silence of the office and the chair being occupied by... no one. The angel sighed in exasperation, tapping her foot against the floor. Well, that's just great. She thought as she left the office with a huff and a furious bang on the door. He's not here to even hear about my victory! How could he?!
A few minutes of walking around the TRS Headquarters and asking around, she finally spotted the general after long, irritating hours. He was just there, looking at the mission board and eating food... as usual. The angel smirked and sneaked up behind the general, looking at the mission board herself. There were lots of interesting missions posted on the board, but she had to tell him about the current mission first before taking another one.
"Geeeeeneraaaal~" She cooed from behind his shoulder, staring at the mission board yet with a teasing look on her face. "What're you doing outside of your office again~?"

Jester looked at the board in front of him. Shifting through the many papers posted on the board. Jester just didn't know what to do with himself. He obviously didn't want to sit around doing that evil paper work. He has no need to train cause he is in the best shape. Everyone else he is close with is always busy. This was a loose loose situation he guessed.
As his long ears twitched as they picked up a voice right from behind me. His shoulders twitched also as he glanced behind him just enough to see the young angel. Her voice picked up again as she asked why he was out of his office. He turned around to see actually view the angel. "Hi Zoraya" he said as he looked at. That's her name right? Hopefully... He thought to himself. There was just too many people to memorize. You expect one person to remember every single agent the TRS has? Yea right.
"I got bored with the mountain of paper work I had to do. So I left." he said as he scratched the back of his head as there was some guilt there. But not so much. Just sitting around is sooooo boring. "But you sound excited. Something good happen? Maybe a boyfriend hmm" he chuckled to himself as he looked at the angel. Watching for a reaction to his comment.

The General finally turns around to face her, and she grins and does a finger salute at him. "Good morning, General Jester!" She greets him back once he does the same a few seconds ago. Then she nods and pouts once he answers why he's out of his office. "Eh, that's what you always do, General. You gotta do work before you go relaxing, though!" She told him, but she figured he wouldn't listen, anyway. Maybe it's because of her diligent mindset that it's pretty easy to tell him something like that.
Then he asks why she's so cheerful today, and assumes that she's gotten a new boyfriend. Her eyes widen and her face turns light red at this. "U-Umm, excuse me, sir, but I don't have a boyfriend yet, I'll have you know!" She exclaims, crossing her arms and cocking her head to the side. "But I'll tell you why I'm so happy today!" Her mood suddenly changes, and she shows him the paper with the "completed mission" stamped on it.
"I've completed yet another mission, and it's one of the best and most dangerous missions I've ever had yet! Can you imagine chasing away five Assembly soldiers all at once while the Festival of Lanterns is still going on? And I also managed to heal victims that are being caused by the Assembly's havoc! Over all, it was really great and I'm happy to have completed it!"
It may not be much for him, but for Zoraya it is more than much. Getting to complete one of the most difficult missions given to her was a huge accomplishment to the angel. She didn't really care what the reaction of the general will be, but she did hope he would at least acknowledge this said victory.
Then she raised an eyebrow at the higher up. "Sooo? What are you in for today, General?"

Jester watched as the angel saluted him. He really didn't bother to salute back. He thought saluting was such a dumb a idea which is why he doesn't care if nobody salutes him when he walks into a room. Either way it was stupid and not needed. But from the way she acted so far. He could assume she was mostly all about the rules and followed every order to the t. Which wasn't a bad thing after all. Just a little dull. Who wants to follow rules right? Look at him for example. He barely does his own work. It had seemed his comment about a boyfriend struck some type of emotion from the woman as her face grew pink. With being an old man like him. He knew how to make people flustered with just words. Plus it was quite comical with her reaction. He wouldn't show it or laugh about it. But on the inside he was.
This is when she shoved a paper into his face that was a completed mission slip... Yet more paper work to be filled out. She might be all happy about it. But Jester wasn't. Why did the TRS require so much paper work in general. They are more of a military force than anything. There shouldn't be paper work... But he is the general after all.
He reached out his hand and started to pat the angel on the top of her head "Great job. You should go celebrate. After all chasing away so many Assembly members is quite the task. Good job." he responded... If only she knew what he had done back in the war. Taking on hundreds of enemies all at once. And killing them all. A small little evil smirk crept it's way across his face remembering the countless battles he was thrown into by Thanatos and doing ever action his precious god said.
"Well as you know I am-" he cut himself off to toss some more food into his mouth. "suppose to be doing all the paper work but that got too boring. So I wondered around and made my way here after grabbing all the snacks in the caf." as he lifted his arm just a tiny bit to show the overwhelming amount of snacks he was carrying He most likely raided all the vending machines and the cafe. He could do what he wanted... "Other than that one task nothing else." he said still with his mouth full.

The angel almost squeaks once Jester pats her head as a means of congratulations to her. "I'm not a kid anymore..." She mumbles, but not loud enough for him to hear. Then he tells her to go celebrate for her efforts, and she smiles. "I'll be doing that later in the libarary with Kaylie, sir! Thanks." She says, turning to him. She almost feels unsettled when for a moment she sees Jester suddenly smirk... a not so friendly one.
"...Umm... sir, you alright?" She asked, deciding she had to cut him off from whatever trance he was having right now.
He then tells her about what he was doing today, and she simply nods with a somewhat disappointed look. "Huh... sounds boring not doing any work." She states with a teasing grin. Then she looks over to the mission board and sees thousands of papers pinned to the board. Ripping one off, she tilts her head and examines it, before looking over to the others.
"Say... are there any missions to be completed here?" She mumbles, not particularly talking to anyone. Then she turns to Jester, and for a split second he could probably see a tired look in her eyes. "Ha, I should be sleeping right now, but I couldn't take my eyes off work." She says to herself -- possibly stating that fact to Jester -- before turning to the papers again.
