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
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.
Phoenix had a show to perform, so he was back stage preparing for it. When it was time, he came out on stage, showing off his fourteen year old self because despite hating how young he appeared, nobody would think that this fourteen year old man was dangerous and they would likely be amused at his amazing tricks when he was oh just so young. The sarcasm he felt for having to put up with people believing he was so much younger than he really was, oh what he would give to look at least twenty-one. At least than they would allow him to drink without always questioning his age. It didn't matter how many times he showed his ID, they always asked as if expecting him to not be able to prove it or something. With a fake smile on his face, he started his show, always picking a fan from the audience to help him out because he didn't have an assistant, though it was easier to get them into the trick when they were participating anyway.
The first trick he would perform would be to shuffle the deck of cards, than having them draw it before looking at it and placing it back in the deck. He would than shuffle the cards and cut the deck, making sure the card that had been in the middle was moved to the bottle of the deck before pulling it from the pile to show the audience and his helper. "Is this your card?" He would ask, just for older lady to be impressed. He would thank her for joining him on stage, ask the audience to give his helper a round of applause before moving on with his act. A few hours later and he would be exiting the building to head home, walking into a woman on accident.
Allura was lost. Now it might seem, to an average person, like a small matter, but to Allura it was a shameful thing. She had always been known for her sens of direction, and even now, she was fully aware of North, East, West and South, yet the streets, the tall buildings, and the noise all worked together to utterly destroy her instincts in regards or orientation.
And of course, as she stumbled and wandered about like some pathetic little pup who had run away from home and gotten turned about in the forest, she managed to co0llide with someone. Wonderful.
"Apologize Good Man, i should kept my eyes on my surroundings rather than this strange device i was assured would keep me from getting lost."
She held up the cellphone, which had a Map App open, but the app was not actually running, and was waiting for input.
"It is my shame to say, but i have become misplaced and cannot find my way in this Gods Curst city of towers."
Phoenix was surprised by the woman's comment. She seemed possibly confused but he couldn't bring himself to ask if that was the case or not. "No, it is my fault." He corrected her after a moment, knowing fully well that he should have been more careful on where he was walking, if he had been, she would have likely kept going in the direction she was trying to get to. The lady was talking about the cell phone, he couldn't help but raise a brow at her, when she had raised it up, he couldn't help but chuckle in reply. He was about to reply but the woman had spoken up, he wasn't sure if he should try and help her out or slowly back away, in his mind she appeared to be somewhat crazy, I mean who spoke like that? "So I think I figured out why you got lost." He explained, pointing at the phone.
"It is still waiting for you to give it directions so that it can point you in the direction of your destination. For example if you were trying to get to the park, you could type in the park name and it will give you locations to pick and once you select one, it will wait for you to click start and then give you directions on how to get there." He explained, hoping that answer would be somewhat helpful. Now that he had already answered one of her questions, he couldn't help but wonder why she was talking the way that she was. "Are you already?" He asked after a few moments, he was just trying to figure out the perfect way to ask his question without sounding too rude on the subject. "I only ask because it doesn't sound like you are from around here...." That comment could be taken so many different ways, but he meant it to be generation wise.
Allura looked at the device, and sighed, why did her descendants have to take something simple and easy, a map, and make it so complicated?
"I thank you Good Man. And i am well, it just that cities have changed drastically since i was a child. I suppose sleeping for two hundred years will cause that. I am Lady Knight Allura Greyback, Vassal of King Garric, son of King Micheal, Son of King Arthur. I owe you a debt of gratitude, Good Man."
Phoenix was surprised to hear that this lady had been sleeping for two hundred years. "Asleep?" He asked, somewhat curious on why anybody would want to sleep that long. "Life was too boring? Hmm?" He wasn't a kid, if she thought he was a kid, he'd be quick to prove her wrong. "Are you expecting me to call you that whole name?" He asked, finding this generation to be much better since it was normally a shorter title of a name to go by. "Please.... no..." The last thing he wanted was for somebody to believe they owed him any favors. "You should be good to go once you type in the address on the device." He added, figuring that she'd be less lost if he at least helped her with that. I have to be careful about what I say to her, though I hate it when people think I'm a kid, I don't think I want them knowing how old I am either or figuring out that I benefit from AP and TRS existing.... He thought to himself with a sigh. "I'm just Phoenix..." He wasn't in the mood for introductions but at least now she won't seem him as nearly impolite as he had made himself out to be prior.
"Simply Allura is more than acceptable. And i thank you again. You may not feel that i should owe you, but should you need anything, please, do not hesitate to seek me out."
She took the phone, glanced at it, and promptly began walking in the opposite direction she was supposed to.
Phoenix was surprised, finding it hard not to watch the lady who had already started walking away from him. I think she forgot to add a place in the phone but it isn't really my place to go around to find out either.... It wasn't like he cared that she was at risk of getting lost, it was just, how could one not know how to use a cell phone maps? It was just bugging the shit out of him. After a few minutes he found himself following after her. "Did you even add an address onto that maps app?" He called after her, figuring that after he got his answer, he would leave her to it.
