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. If you have any suggestions we would love to hear them; guests may use the support board as a suggestion area as well. Should you decide to join, may I say welcome to the site and we all hope you enjoy your time here.
Yours Truely,
The Staff

This was a strange place for her to end up at. However Sadiya went were ever she felt the need for her to go. She never really thought or faught these feelings. She loved the look of this place and knew from traveling that cathedrals where normally places of peice and had beautiful stang glass windows. She had no idea what to expect as she approched the cathedral. Her son tailing her (hes an npc) staying quiet as he normally did. Her son had the beauty of a siren but wasnt one. He was a shifter that could shift to an ocean creature. He has deep sea faom green short hair, with emerald green eyes. He looked a lot like her husband who passed away. Lamar was quiet very quiet he rarely spoke but ocattionally did.
She smiled approching the cathedral with her son Lamar, as they both smiled. Lamar was actually excited but also nerovus didnt like the unknown. He looked like he was 12 but was really only 9 years old. Sadiya continued the walk to the cathedral. She smiled excited to see what might await them. She felt their must be a reason for her to feel the need to come here but what was it? Would she make a friend what would happen?
Today she was wearing her everyday clothes. She wore a sky blue colored kimono with a golden flower kind of outlined design that's inside is striped blue and white. With a blue, yellow and white colored headband she made herself with a gem on the side that she found in the ocean. Red and gold sandles with white socks.
Lamar was wearing clothes that he made himself, that seemed to be what he loved doing making and designing clothes, and making jewery lke she liked doing. He was wearing long sleeved dark blue shirt with a darker shaded lavander jacket that was light weight and has a pop up callar that wasnt folded down all the way but also didn't stand up all the way. His long blue pants were not jeans yet they werent dressy pants eather, and were a sky blue color. That meshed well with the rest of his clothes. Very plain outfit but yet classy is how he would describe it if you could get him to talk that is. His shoes where sky blue ouls, base color the dark lavander shade, and with dark blue lined designs on the shoes like his long sleeved shirts color. He even custom designed the shoes for his outfit too.
They both walked quietly up to see the large cathedral steps. Wondering what awaited both of them.
I DON'T THINK YOU'VE EVER TRIED BEING A ROLE MODEL BEFORE.
Colette never intended on coming to the cathedral before. She has never been acquainted with such religious things, much less places that worshipped one of the goddesses of this world, but this time, she had thought it was time for a change. Her grandmother, as well as a few of her friends tell her that praying is as much of an importance as her career. She's never been dedicated to the church before, as she's too busy being pretty. But perhaps it was indeed a time for a change of heart.
She arrived at Akari's Cathedral through a cab she had called. Colette figured she wouldn't have to call in her special service just so she could come to the goddess' shrine; she should be more thrifty when it comes to travelling from now on, she had said to herself. The less money she would have to spend on religious things, the better.
Once having arrived, she'd proceeded to climb the stairs had she not taken sight of a beautiful woman with blue hair. She shouldn't be doing this, but there is no choice when it comes to Colette. Having seen a woman like that would surely capture a man's heart. And is that a child next to her? Is that her son? How young to sire a child! She approaches the woman with a smile, and then she proceeds talking to her non-stop, a mouth restless when it comes to chatting with a new acquaintance.
"You look beautiful today, miss! And is that your son with you? You must be so young to sire a child. What would you be doing in Akari's cathedral at this fine day?"
0000 words ● @sadiya ● oh yeah! I finally got a reply for this open thread!
Sadiya was looking at the building as her son was looking around as her son suddenly hunkered a little close behind here which normally ment he was getting shy not scared but shy. As she noticed a woman approaching and calling to them. "Hi" as she saw this woman she knew normally it was for most creatures more polite to give your name while giving a greeting but for her family they always answered whatever questions the other person asked after giving a greeting then would give their name to the person. She had heard her comment how she looked "Why thank you, you look very nice too". She had mentioned Lamar who was still behind her slightly being shy. She had then heard the woman say that she seemed young to have a child. So she decided to answer both questions at once. "Yes this is my son Lamar, and thank you he is actually my second youngest child I have an older daughter, older son and a younger daughter than him, sadly and tragically them and their father are no longer with us. I'm afraid I am younger than I look, but that is very nice of you to say thank you for your kind words". Sadiya said although she was a Siren so of course it was normal for her kind to seem younger than they really were although she wasn't sure she should tell this woman what her and Lamar were just yet.
She then heard the question of what they were doing here to be honest she didn't know why to be exact, she had just come here on inspiration but she knew this also wasn't Lamar's first time at the cathedral he loved this place so maybe she wanted to see where her son liked to hang out. She smiled as she answered the question "I came because I wanted to show my son the cathedral he loves the stain glass windows and arachetct of older buildings and churches like these, he finds great inspiration and peace here as well as safety in these kinds of buildings, for he wants to be a fashion designer and this seems to be where he comes a lot for ideas." She smiled at her son who was the size of an 8-9 year old boy but that had the face expersions of a 5-7 year old boy. He had fair skin but not yet pale, with sea foam green eyes, and tealish green hair. He wore a purple short sleeved shirt that was designed to be open like a jacket but yet was made out of tshirt material, with a black short sleeved shirt that was a little longer than the purple shirt but had the exact same sleeve length as the purple shirt. He also had on long tealish blue pants that were dressy like but also easy to move in, with black dressy/yet sporty black shoes with no laces on them.
Lamar was normally shy and quite but as soon as his mom finished answering the womans questions he for once spoke up and suddenly asked her flat out "Do you believe in Sirens? If you do or even if you don't what do you think you would do if you met a Siren?" he asked. His voice sounding, young yet soft and very attractive for as young as he looked. "Lamar" Sidaya said a little surprised for like she knew he was shy and normally only spoke if it was about architect, the ocean, or fashion, or when he was singing. She smiled though to try to cover up her surprise at him speaking up as she smiled she figured either he was sensing she was someone they could trust and was trying to tell her that, as he had a better read on people and she had to admit she herself was a bit bioest and judgemental to anything that seemed human than he was for humans took her husband and other children from her. However he also could just be ciourious about the woman that was in front of them. "Oh and sorry I didn't introduce myself before but I am Sadiya Sadella Rider, and I'm a traveling Jeweler I make and sell different kinds of jewelry as well as sale different types of jewels." She said finally introducing herself.
occ: might not be as good as before cause internet had to be reset as I was sending the post so its is a second time writing it. Although it could be better at least with word count. old word count: 400 something current word count: 760 ish @coco
I DON'T THINK YOU'VE EVER TRIED BEING A ROLE MODEL BEFORE.
Colette could never stop thinking about how young -- and beautiful, she might add -- this woman looks. She looks too young to have a child, much less four of them, including this little cutie. But acccording to her, father and other three children are no longer with them. So it's just both of them all alone, she thinks to herself. She hoped the woman would no further add about how they died; Colette certainly could not take it.
"Really now? I'm sorry." It's all she could ever say. She never liked sad stories; they remind her of her own sad story back in Paris. Keeping it short with a small frown would probably help things. But a smile reappears and replaces the earlier frown once her companion thanks her once more for the compliments on her looks. "You're welcome! Indeed, you look young to sire children, if I were to be honest. But it's not much to be offended about, so I'm sorry if it seems to you like that way." She adds with a bow.
Then she talks about why they are in the cathedral, one of Colette's many question. It makes her raise an eyebrow, however, and she looks at the cathedral's stain glass walls and smiles in appreciation. Indeed, it does a great amount of inspiration for artists, but she could not imagine ever wearing a dress with stain glass wall as a theme. That would be too pretty to even imagine and she would like to not imagine it at all, as she knows she would be beautiful. "So this little cutie here indeed is your son." She kneels and smiles at the young boy, not even attempting to pinch his cheeks; he's old enough not to be considered a toddler. "Hello, Lamar."
It almost also surprises her when the earlier silent boy suddenly asks her questions; her eyes widen at the topic of interest and his mother does seem as shocked as she is. She does not stand from where she is, still staring at the young boy and blinking. Then a small smirk forms on her face and she closes her eyes, chuckling. "Oh, Lamar, you have no idea what I am yet." She stands up and listens to the woman introduce herself as Sadiya Sadella Ryder, a travelling jeweler (this certainly catches her interst; she would have to talk about jewels with her later). "Nice to meet you as well, Sadiya." Come to think of it, pretty name, she muses.
"It's high time I introduce myself as well. My name is Colette Beaumont, famous model in Lorsette. And as per Lamar's interest, I believe in sirens. Because I am one." She grins at the young boy and winks at him, before turning to Sadiya, eyes beaming. "Also, jewels? What kinds of jewels do you sell? Sapphires? Emeralds? Rubies? Do you have everything?"
0000 words ● @sadiya ● it's fine! I experience those kinds of incidents as well, so i feel you there ;o;
