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.

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.
Fletcher watched Jean pull back, pleased that he wasn't attempting to pull away completely, though he did find himself slightly flustered with Jean looking at him like that. "Which part?" He asked in return. "Besides, I know you heard me just fine." He countered, melting slightly when Jean caressed his check. "Maybe a little bit." He answered in return, still holding Jean because it was making him feel better and frankly this was comfortable for him. "Ha, as if." He answered in return before adding, "Why thank you, I take my personality very seriously. I can't have you guessing my mood all the time." He answered in return, not bothered by the mixed feeling teasing. Besides he was well aware of the fact he was cold, wait, had he called him hot? What was that supposed to mean? "So you are aiming for a fling? Don't think flattery is going to help you worm your way inside.... because it won't work." He answered in return, feeling slightly flustered Jean had called him hot in the first place.
"Well of course not, in my grip, remember?" He answered him back, smiling slightly as if he won. "I know your uncomfortable." He countered, attempting to move closer so that Jean can't see his face. "Yeah, yeah, I completely remember but seeing as your fully dressed right now, you can be fazed." He mumbled as he hugged more. "Shut up...." He mumbled, though his cheeks were pink from being flustered. The idea of Jean keeping his promise made his heart beat faster as he found himself slightly excited over the idea of Jean keeping his promise. No, I can't let him in my heart. Not when he might break his promise and leave again. He thought to himself, though the emotions just wouldn't settle.
jean shrugged slightly, well as much as he could with fletcher's arms around him. he honestly didn't mind. it felt nice to have someone hug him back. not that he was going to admit it. especially with the amount of times he had been pushed away. as much as fletcher denied it. he knew he must be okay with jean hugging him."perhaps."of course jean had heard him and he was willing only if fletcher really told him what he wanted to hear."just a little bit."he teased.
he chuckled softly."yes you have a pretty decent personality. just don't let this little ego boost go to your head. i highly doubt that's possible darling."he ended that comment with a smirk.jean feigned hurt, gasping softly."really is that all you think im after? clearly i only hugged you because you were crying. it's you that won't let go. pretty impressive considering we are standing in the middle of a busy sidewalk."jean said with a grin."i think we both know where your mind is at currently. i mean dinner would be nice."perhaps, but i mean i can make you uncomfortable too."he told him with a grin."is that an invite? should i start stripping here and now? i mean it's pretty hot. you're making me hot i think im starting to sweat a little too."
Fletcher hugged Jean more, because he wanted to and for revenge for all the shit he had put him through. Truly believing Jean was uncomfortable for the action, which was good enough for him. "Oh?" He asked him in return, "Too late, early there. So you'll just have to endure through it." He answered him in return as he keeps hugging. "What ever." He answered him back, knowing that Jean for some reason had hugged him for crying only for him to cling and refuse to let go. "What's the matter? Shy in front of people?" He whispered, talking about the hugging. He blushed slightly when Jean teased him about what he wanted before adding dinner would be nice. "So your hungry." He whispered in return, "Too bad for you that requires walking. So you'll just have to wait for me to buy it later." He whispered, comfortable as he hugged him, feeling slightly better. He heard Jean's comment about making him uncomfortable, glad that he wore the sunglasses as he glared at him.
"Don't you dare." He countered, but before he could say anymore, Jean was teasing him about stripping in public. "Don't even think about it." He whispered, "Besides, your stuck in my grip so it will be hard for you to strip anyway. Wouldn't you agree?" He whispered, daring him to try it. Curious on if he could free himself enough to do so. Tell you what, you manage to break free to strip, I'll acknowledge you win, but then you'll owe me dinner instead. He thought to himself, finding it as the perfect revenge despite not telling Jean about it.
jean sighed and shook his head slightly."whatever you say darling."he figured when fletcher was ready he would have to let go. sooner or later he had to let him go. it's not like they were going to stand there all day. well at least he hoped not. fletcher whispered in his ear and jean chuckled."since when am i shy?"
"so you just want to skip right to dessert i take it."jean said with a smirk."what why not? you're the one that gave me the idea."he said with a chuckle."or is it that you're actually the shy one?"jean continued to tease. his arms had currently been as his side."that's very true. i may not be able to take my own clothes off, but i can yours."jean teased as his fingers tugged at fletcher's shirt."for someone that doesn't want me to strip your don't sound very convincing."
Fletcher was determined as ever to hug as long as possible, so one of two things would happen, he'd get this wish or he'd lose it. Of course there were plenty of reasons for losing it, such as Jean pulling away or losing the mood, or Jean doing something that would encourage him to gain some space. "You tell me." He whispered his counter as he continued hugging him. He blushed when he heard Jean's comment. "Not funny." He answered in return, lying because he did find him somewhat funny. He blushed when Jean mentioned being able to not take his own clothes off but that couldn't be the same about his. "You have to buy me dinner first." He whispered, having planned on that the whole time if Jean had managed to strip for him but now the game has changed to Jean having to buy him dinner regardless. "Or you could stay in my grip, looking awkward as people walk by. That is your choice." He answered him in return, choosing for now to call his bluff on attempting to remove his shirt, seeing as he'd have to pull up and he believed Jean was in his grip too well to be able to accomplish such a task, well that is unless he got distracted.
jean chuckled softly."i don't know. i find it pretty amusing."he raised an eyebrow in surprise. was that a challenge because it sure did sound like one. if nothing more jean loved a challenge. this time jean had leaned in to whisper into fletcher's ear."how about we find that out now?"though he didn't move away. he leaned more into fletcher nuzzling his the crook of his neck. he would take it a step at a time. testing him to see what he could endure.
for as much time as he had been silently wishing he would be set free jean was starting to enjoy this."at some point. can i say you're holding me hostage, but if i like it does it count?"he said with a laugh. oh he was quiet aware why those sunglasses were not coming off. he was being so spontaneous yet he couldn't look jean in the eyes? that was him being completely shy. well, at least in jean's book.
he chuckled with his line got through back at him."so you're saying yes? i'd love to buy you dinner."jean whispered that in his other ear."you're enjoying this aren't you?"jean said with a smirk."i think we both know you want me to undress you here and now."the smirk not leaving his face.
Fletcher rolled his eyes at Jean but it wouldn't be noticed thanks to the sunglasses he stole from Jean. He shivered when Jean had leaned closer, nuzzling his neck. "I don't care, go ahead." He answered in return, not caring about the law, not that he had before, hence why he bothered joining the gang to steal in the first place. "It isn't like I'd let go if you do, besides knowing you'd you'd turn it into a flirting moment in an attempt to get me to budge, it isn't going to work." He challenged Jean, feeling slightly flustered but unwilling to let go. He went silent, completely flustered. Here they were in public hugging each other and the one feeling shy was him, it seemed like no matter how much he tried, he wouldn't be getting Jean flustered anytime soon. Or at least not without more effort first.
He glanced towards Jean when he asked if he was saying yes, unsure on how to answer that question but he knew for a fact Jean'd be buying him dinner first. "Maybe a little bit." He answered in return, blushing when Jean once more made his comment about undressing. "What gave you that idea?" He asked, pressing closer as if attempting to try and keep Jean pinned. Besides not granting permission at this time, your stuck in my grip so you won't be getting my shirt off either. He thought to himself, though he knew Jean could do other things that would fluster the living hell out of him, hoping Jean would at least wait till they were in private to go that far.
jean chuckled."really? never thought i hear that from you. well, not again."though he knew he could only take it so far. he didn't want things to get out of hand. maybe their was a tad bit of shyness in jean. he really wasn't expecting fletcher to let his continue any further. yet here they were."so you're saying i have to take it a step further? how exciting. what will be your breaking point i wonder?"jean asked himself aloud as he pulled away.
this unexpected meeting was not turning how he imagined it would. not that he was complaining."maybe a little bit?"jean repeated before chuckling."it's either yes or no."he told him with a smirk.
"oh you know things. that fact that you're hiding behind those sunglasses but i can still see you blush. unless im mistaken."he told him vaguely answering."you know if you keep pushing i might have to push back."he said as he slowly moved his feet. if they so happened to trip and fall that would only add to the amusement.
Fletcher couldn't help but have a smug grin appear on his face slightly, "Well then, surprise..........." He whispered in return, not willing to let go. Jean had started to pull away, he had attempted to keep his grip on him but he knew it would only last so long before he'd lose his grip on Jean completely. "Or I let you figure it out." He answered him in return, not willing to share his feelings on the subject. Not yet anyway. "You must be seeing things." He answered in return, of course Jean would be correct in accusing him of blushing because he was embarrassed. He was surprised by Jean's comment but instead of pushing back, he had pulled away and since he was so determined to keep his grip on Jean, he had moved forward with them. Which meant if Jean lose his footing, they'd fall to the ground with him most likely on top of him. He couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed as things started to unfold for them, first the flirting, then the tempting and now this. In his head, it seemed like Jean had planned everything out and yet he still wasn't willing to let him free, not when he had him here, right now.
jean chuckled at his response. this was completely unexpected. was this actually fletcher? he had been so distant back at the library and not even a five seconds ago it seemed like he had wanted nothing to do with jean. yet, here they were. fletcher holding on to him and not wanting to let go anytime soon. it made him wonder what had triggered this outcome.
he found it rather amusing."you want me to find out. so again you do want to skip to dessert. no matter how many times you deny it. we always wind up back on that topic."he said with a smirk. that smirk remained when he called fletcher out. surely he must of been blushing by now. though he was told otherwise."oh really?"jean teased.
surely fletcher had his fun and now it was jean's turn to switch things up. he started to move though fletcher was still resisting. his object was to push fletcher down. though it seemed to backfire just a bit. causing him to lose his footing and stumble backwards. he saw it, but everything was set into motion. jean really couldn't, well he didn't want to do anything. he just wanted to see things play out. what would fletcher do?"did you literally just fall for me?"jean asked with a grin.
Fletcher ignored him, not wishing to make further effort into attempting to prove him wrong. Besides at this point it was starting to feel a bit like a lie if he continued being persistent on his answer. He did calm not to be blushing though, only for the sake of making Jean work harder, though at the time he was trying to get him to quit. He had moved and instead of letting go, he followed until Jean was falling backwards and he was on top of him. "Not funny." He mumbled, blushing more because of the truth of that comment. He continued hugging because he'd be damned if Jean got him to let go right now.
one second jean was struggle against fletcher and the next fletcher was on top of him. of course this opportunity was way too good to pass up. jean chuckled at his own joke."what? you must admit it was pretty good timing."jean told him with a grin. despite the tumble jean was still in fletcher's arms. he had to admit when fletcher wanted something he was very persistent.
"anyways darling are you alright? nothing broken?"he asked even though he was currently the one on the ground."i'm positive you're enjoying yourself, but as much as i don't want you to move...you're going to have to."he said with a smirk."i don't want to get stepped on or tripped over. i'm not going to runaway if you let me go."he told him with a small nod."i know i was a not so good friend let alone a leader, but i'm trying to make up for it. can we try to be friends again?"
Fletcher snuggled Jean in an attempt to hide his face from view, it wasn't working but he'd be damned if Jean took notice of him. He didn't counter when Jean mentioned how it was good timing. "I'm fine." He mumbled, knowing Jean was likely serious with his question. "You?" He asked in return, still not moving from being on top of him. It was his fault for tripping them, so he'd have to suffer on the ground, even if it was only for a little bit longer. "Or what?" He asked in return, knowing Jean would make him if it came to it, but perhaps that is what he wanted, was for Jean to pick him up and carry him. "Of course you will." He answered for him, not really caring if it was true or not. He just wanted to fuel Jean into having the motive to pick him up, if he was ever so determined to get off of the ground. At this point, it would become his only option unless he forced him off. "You want to be my friend again?" He looked right back at him. "Yes." He mumbled, still clinging as he waited for Jean to decide how he'd go about handling this clinging ground problem.
jean chuckled softly as he moved his arms to rest on fletcher's back. despite him being the one that got most of the blunt force jean was quick to ask if fletcher was alright. the question had been directed back and him and he couldn't hide the grin on his face."what? are you worried about me?"
"or what? should i show you or just tell you?"jean asked as his hands slid to fletcher's sides. he really didn't give fletcher the chance to respond as he used quite of bit of force to hopefully roll over and switch spots with fletcher."are you going to give me the chance to prove you wrong?"he wasn't sure why fletcher was so certain that jean was going to run off as soon as he was set free. "well, we have to start somewhere don't we? i don't let people that hate me just hug me and not let go."jean teased him before chuckling softly.
Fletcher rolled his eyes when Jean asked his question, "Doesn't matter." He mumbled, determined as ever to not let go. Jean had placed his hands to his sides before forcing them to roll as to become on top. He laid on the ground as Jean remained on top of him. "Don't think that gives you easy range to do as you please." He mumbled as he kept hugging. He remained quiet when Jean asked if he would allow him to prove him wrong, figuring Jean would be Jean and well figure it out for himself. Though he couldn't resist a counter to Jean's last comment. "There is always a first, this is the first." He mumbled, though frankly he knew that Jean wasn't trying very hard to get away. It didn't stop the belief that if Jean had tried pushing him off, he would have been damned if he managed to slip away from him. The sunglasses were on the verge of falling off of his face, so he released Jean slightly as to fix them. "Besides, we both know you won't leave without your sunglasses." He added, not rushing to return them as he laid on the ground.
