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

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.

[break]Puck couldn't recall the last time he's been so bold to throw himself out into any sort of event as this one. Even if his intentions for participating didn't follow the intended reasons the organizers set. The free meal that came with this had been far too enticing for the unfortunate male. The last time he had a proper meal was several weeks ago... and the thought of eating well prepared food nearly had him drooling. His hands were fidgeting as they rested upon his lap; far too eager to receive the themed-valentine pasta he had ordered. It was almost sad how happy this was making the elemental but Puck knew better than to judge himself in this difficult period for him.[break][break]
He couldn't get a job which meant providing for himself was a difficult task on it's own. Taking advantage of opportunities like this was definitely something he shouldn't shame himself for! Life has squeezed him through the wringer multiple times so treating himself to a nice time with some decent tasting pasta? The company of another person which hopefully would be an added pleasant experience on top of everything. Even if he came for the food he wasn't going to slack in keeping his date proper company. Puck wanted to make sure the both of them had a great time together![break][break]
A beaming smile resided on his features as his head tilted to the side playfully. A lovely lady with long black hair and the most striking eyes had sat right before him. His hunger was far too high for intimidation to successfully strike him. "Thanks soo much for agreeing to eat first! It means a bunnnch! I haven't had much of a chance to eat this well in a while." He hums as his body swayed about happily in his seat. "Happy to meet you too though!!! You look soo pretty! My name is Puck! You can call me however you wanna!" He pulled his hand over the table to hold out for a handshake.
Puck had his fair share of experiences but rarely did he ever so often experience an event that one might consider abnormal or unique. Most of his childhood consisted of raising his brother and dealing with the neglection and abuse from his parents but even then through it all did Puck remain strong for the sake of his brother. It was why he found himself in the city of Lorsette. It was a hope of his to relocate his brother and be able to be there for him much like he was in the past... although here he found himself caught up in a rather unique situation.[break][break] It definitely took the cake in being what he'd call a bizarre experience. One that might actually be his very first and hopefully last. He's bumped into people on accident a number of times but never did anyone actually stumble ontop of him to this extent. Oh, did he mention this male was naked too? Puck found himself surprised and still adjusting to the sudden change around him. His back had suddenly been on the cold concrete ground while his hand... felt the sensation of cold skin. It was when the pieces connected in his head and the poor water elemental was a horrified yet flustered mess.[break][break] "W-w-.... what the HECK?! -- Why are you naked??? AND S-STILL ON ME?"
[attr="class","smoll"]Puck is a short and lanky build young adult who carries himself with an attentive aura. He's not very well built and falls more on the skinny side of things. He has soft and fair skin with a lack of any noticeable blemishes on his features, his skin has undertones of yellow. Puck has a long and rounded face shape with plump cheeks. His eyebrows are a nice purple and thin in thickness while his eyelashes are naturally long. He has a stunning pair of rounded green eyes that goes with it. His lips are thin and pink, commonly covered with some kind of lip balm to prevent cracking. He has neck length messy purple hair with fringes that fall to each side of his face and bangs that stop right above his forehead.[break][break] Puck currently being homeless tends to cycle between the few outfits he brought with him from his previous home before he ran off. It's simple outfits such as a loose-fitting t-shirt with some jeans and a pair of comfortable sneakers with ankle socks.

Trigger Warning: Neglect, physical/emotional/mental abuse, homelessness[break][break] For as far back as he could remember Puck had always juggled both the role of being a parent and brother for his twin, Larkyn. Their parents in the beginning might've intended for a different outcome but luck nor fate were on the side of the two unfortunate twins. What was supposed to be a loving home and safe environment for the two to grow up happy in was quickly flipped on it's head and became far more volatile. Parents who were supposed to love one another chose to bicker and argue instead. [break][break] Moments where their parents were supposed to be with, take care of them were instead filled with times where the twins were neglected and only got to hear the distant sounds of their parents fighting. They no longer loved each other and no longer wanted the twins they had conceived in an act of passion. The household was in shambles and the falling apart of their parents relationship only naturally followed this. It was a place that was the last thing for two young children to be and yet no sign of rescue ever showed itself. [break][break] Puck ended up having to step up and take the role both of his parents refused to do. Maturity happened far too quick for Puck but he accepted it, allowed for this to happen for the sake of his twin living a somewhat happy life. Many trials and efforts of learning how to do your everyday household things as a child was a lot of effort. The older he grew the more easier it became but as much as Puck could shield him from the abuse and cruel words of his parents he couldn't stop the influx of bullies.[break][break] It didn't mean he didn't try but the two would often end up as the one more injured than the other although no matter how much it hurt, how tired he was... Puck never buckled under the pressure or pain for the sake of Larkyn. Someone had to remain strong and so for the sake of that did he take it all with a smile. did he reassure his brother that it will be okay and a day will come where the two won't have to deal with this.[break][break] Puck was no astounding student but he did all he could to get his parents to not pester him about his poor grades although knowing their circumstances and Larkyn's difficulties at school, his brother on the other hand faced their wraith the most. Puck no matter how he tried to help him with extra lessons, teach him how to do things... the knowledge hardly stuck and when came the time they'd scold his brother harshly, call him cruel things a parent could never say to their child... his blood boiled. It took everything in him to not explode on them and the only time he'd let it out was when his brother would run off to his room.[break][break] He'd snap on them, return those exact harsh words but the actions Puck was met for his own was a harsh slap to the face and some extra beatings for thinking it was okay for him to speak to his parents that way. He never felt remorse for his actions and it was evident with the way he looked at them. The abuse only fueled him further to not crumple and to do all he could to get him and his brother out of here.[break][break] It was a plan he started thinking a lot about, making out all kinds of arrangements in his head. Having began to actively look for jobs to save up money for. It was a plan that went into effect but never did he share with his brother. It was a surprise he wanted to give on his birthday; a new apartment for the two of them to live in away from their parents but before that night could come. When they both were 17 and it was in the middle of the night when his brother vanished. Where he would normally wake up and first to find his brother. His bed was empty, everything that belonged to him just gone.[break][break] Rather than respond like any concerned parent would, his parents made comments of how they were glad he was gone. How his brother brought nothing to the household and that was the moment that caused a divide. Just as his brother did, he packed up his things, gathered the money he had saved up for them to go on and live on his own. Puck did everything to ignore his parents but they purposely went out of their way to get him back into their lives as a means to terrorize him.[break][break] Forced back into the hell of a home until he was an adult. He had no choice but to live with them as they went as far as to get the law involved. Claiming that Puck had ran away, putting on the act of being the perfect parents and despite Puck's claims of it not being the case... it never panned out as he hoped.[break][break] It wasn't until he was nineteen did he finally have his chance of escaping. Much like his brother did he run away, as far as he could. Living with friend to friend until he could get any kind of cash flow going to live on his own but that never really happened. Without his brother in his life... Puck felt lost. Like he lost his purpose, never had he onced lived for himself and for that fact alone did he feel like a fish out of water.[break][break] It was how he ended up where he is now in this day and age. Moving to Lorsette in hopes of him being here so he could find him. Puck wanders the streets without a home but he hopes to locate his brother and maybe, just maybe the two will be able to finally have that happy home they've always wanted.
