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.

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.
Gabriel chuckled when Harper mentioned how many he should watch. Of course this would be even better if Harper were to join him. To his greatest pleasure, Harper continued walking in the direction of the slide, clearly planning on going down it. "Only once?" He teased him as he slowly followed after him. He gave his suggestion, listening as Harper answered it. "Awww, it will be fine. I won't let you fall." He answered him in return, believing to do just that. Of course he didn't make any move towards Harper, even though he was debating on joining him on the slide anyway.

harper eyed the slide suspiciously. it didn't look that rusty and he was sure it held up tons of people. yet he was still hesitant and a bit surprised at himself that he was actually giving it a thought. harper laughed softly."yes, only once maybe twice if you're lucky."said jokingly before returning his attention to the slide.
he was the type to submit under peer pressure wasn't he. not that he was being pressured. he kept saying maybe and yet here he was standing right by the ladder. the swings were one thing and the slide another, considering that he wanted to go down together.
was he really going to do this? why not, it would be fun? why did he not sound convinced to himself."okay, fine. did you want to go first or should i?"
Gabriel watched as Harper eyed the slide suspiciously, finding him rather adorable. He chuckled when Harper answered his question on the amount of times he would go down the slide. He chuckled when Harper asked who'd go first. "Are you talking about going down alone, or randomly trying both of us at a time?" He was curious, not that Harper would have much of a choice in the matter because he was determined to attempt to join Harper even if it meant getting smacked in the process. What was the point in going down if not to attempt having a little bit of fun anyway. Well that is, if Harper appeared possibly not bothered by the idea of them going down together.

how old was this thing? surely it had to of been updated in the last few years. without looking at him, he responded though a tad distracted."i don't think it matters. though you said you'd catch me if i fall."he was clearly overthinking this whole slide thing. it wasn't like he was going to die again. was that even possible? even if he were to fall, the slide wasn't that high up. he was just being silly for no reason.
"i changed my mind. i think it would be safer if we went down by ourselves."harper said as he started to climb up the stairs. the sooner he got up there the sooner this could be over. finally at the top he sat down, correctly. that way his feet would touch the ground first. though he didn't move yet. he sat there for a few seconds taking in the sight.
Gabriel couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Harper's answer, figuring Harper was considering them going down together even though he hadn't flat out said so. He couldn't help but hope that Harper would go first so that he could quickly join him. "Alright and yes I did say that." He agreed as he followed Harper towards the stairs. When Harper said that he changed his mind, it was confirmed that he had in fact considered going down the slide at the same time, of course he pouted because he wanted to go down with him. He slowly followed Harper up the stairs, debating on what he would do about it. Harper took a seat on the slide, meanwhile he continued to debate until finally deciding what he'd do. He started to bend, having planned to join Harper on the slide anyway, hoping to make it before Harper started going down.

he felt movement behind him as he remained at the top.”don’t you dare fall. i told you this wasn’t safe.”harper said with a sigh before moving forward to give him room. maybe there would be more room if he swung his legs to the side. its what they would do when they were younger. everything was easier when one was smaller. though of course harper wasn’t as graceful as he was back then. alright let’s admit it harper had rarely been graceful and he could be easily distracted. before he even had the opportunity to swing his legs to the side of the slide his lost his grip and was already beginning to go down. there was no sense in holding on at that point to keep himself from going down, letting go. whether gabriel managed to slide down with him was to be seen.
Gabriel couldn't help but chuckle when Harper told him not to dare fall. "I'll be fine." He answered him in return, quick to adjust himself so that he could join Harper down the slide. As Harper started to go down, he slowly wrapped his arms around Harper so that he'd be pulled down with him. Okay so, they weren't as young as they used to be but still, he couldn't help but find it fun. But then again, he might have been somewhat bias because Harper had been the one to join him on his childish behavior. As soon as the ground arrived, things would be okay. Thankfully nobody got hurt in the process. "That was so much fun." He answered, slowly releasing Harper, not having permission to touch him in the first place even though Harper had allowed him to slide down with him.

he had lost his grip before sliding down. he had been sitting up there for a few seconds debating whether or not they should go down together. it didn't matter now since they were going down the slide. he felt them wrap their arms around him, that wasn't what surprised him. it was the fact that harper had unintentionally grabbed their hands with one of his.
he was startled for a second. he though he was up far enough that he would go when he was ready. he hadn't expected to lose his grip and start sliding down. how embarrassing, he already made such a big deal about the slide in the first place. he sighed softly when his feet touched the ground.
quickly moving his hand away and standing up."okay...that wasn't so bad."he said with a small smile. he wasn't sure why he had been so anxious about going down."are you going down again?"
Gabriel had joined Harper on going down the slide, somewhat surprised when his hand had touched his. He enjoyed the feeling of holding hands with Harper. As soon as they made it to the ground, he slightly pouted when Harper had quickly pulled away before standing up. He was quick to stand up right behind him. "Yes I am." He teased playfully before moving to walk up the stairs again. "I hope you'll join me again. I'm having so much fun." He teased playfully, hoping that would encourage Harper to join him on the slide once more. The last thing he wanted to do was going down the slide without him.

he used to be much more adventurous when he was younger. even his parents wondered what happened. he would simply shrug at them and tell them that there was nothing wrong with being careful. he tried something new today, well something that he wouldn’t ordinarily do. that was clearly odd for him. he wasn’t going to admit it aloud, but it had been a bit fun. he had quickly gotten off the slide and asked if he was going to go again. he didn’t know why it didn’t surprise him when he said yes. he laughed softly and shook his head.”no, i think i’ve had enough. maybe next time.”when he had left the house that day he hadn’t imagined he would be spending his time playing in the playground, yet here he was, actually having fun.”you go ahead i’ll just watch.”
harper stood back a bit as promised he was going to wait for him to come down."let's go to the merry-go-round next."he said pointing towards it. of course his cheeks started to get warm. what was he doing? it wasn't like they had come out together. there was no need for him to follow harper."i mean only if you want to."it was too late to take it back now.
Gabriel had walked up the stairs before taking a seat on the slide. He looked down towards Harper, "You sure about not going again?" He asked, teasing him playfully before adding, "It was so much more comfy with you up here too." He flirted, curious on if he'd be able to convince Harper to come up the stairs to join him on the slide anyway. He chuckled when Harper had suggested for them to go on the merry-go-round next. "Sure thing." He answered in return, still hopeful that Harper would join him on the slide, though he had already waited a few minutes for Harper to join him on the slide. Since it was promised for them to go on the merry-go-round, he slowly moved so that he could slide down to the ground. "Of course I want to." He answered with a small smile on his face, standing he walked towards the merry-go-round before standing on it.

he blushed slightly at his comment about it being comfy when he was sitting there too. he had nothing to say, how could he? honestly what could he say that wouldn't make him blush even more? he was beckoned to join and harper simply shook his head. perhaps if they weren't going down together he would of gotten on. it wasn't that he didn't want to touch gabriel it was simply that he didn't know him and that was a little embarrasing being close to someone like that.
eventually he came down the slide and they headed towards the merry-go-round. he watched as he got on the merry-go-round and harper simply sat down. he wasn't planning on going too fast. he made sure they were holding on before he started to push with his feet.
Gabriel couldn't help but feel pleased when he noticed Harper blushing. He sure was adorable and to his greatest pleasure, easy to tease too. This was going to be so much fun and with any luck, his teasing wouldn't be taken too far because he enjoyed being in Harper's company. He had gone down the slide before heading towards the merry-go-round. He took a seat, holding on as he enjoyed Harper pushing off with his foot. He never was a fan of going on if it was too fast or too slow, but Harper seemed to make the speed go just right. "Are you having fun?" He asked with a smile on his face, clearly enjoying this, mostly because Harper was with him though. He wasn't able to explain the reason why but he just wanted to remain in his company even if only a little bit longer.

he continued pushing until he felt like they were going at a decent speed. grabbing onto the handles he laid back and closed his eyes. it usually what he did as a kid. closing his eyes so he wouldn't become dizzy. it was rather relaxing in a way.
his kept his eyes closed, a small smile appearing on his face. again this wasn't what he had thought he would end up doing when he had left the house."yes, i'm having fun. are you or did you like the slide better?"he asked before slowly opening his eyes, turning to look at gabriel.
Gabriel couldn't help but enjoy his time spent with Harper. It had been years since he had this much fun and he couldn't help but hope they'd be able to do it again sometime in the near future. He glanced over, noticing that Harper had his eyes closed with a smile appearing on his face. He listened as Harper answered his question before opening his eyes to look back at him. "Both." He admitted, chuckling as he closed his eyes, the last thing he wanted to do was risk getting dizzy from all the spinning. "I hope we can do this again sometime." He answered, opening his eyes before adding, "Hanging out I mean, if you're okay with that. I mean." He added, hoping for them to exchange phone numbers.
