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.
Silas couldn't help but feel frustrated that Sonya was ignoring him. He had asked Umberto a question and noticed the nod, confirming that it was in fact TRS after all. He had suggested another restaurant to try and cheer Umberto up, but was disappointed when Umberto had asked if they could go home instead. He flinched when Umberto turned away from him and told him that if he still wanted to eat, he could find somebody worth more trouble. "You aren't trouble." He whispered, wrapping his arms around Umberto. He glanced to the side to see Sonya had started making her way towards them. To his surprise she had completely ignored them and stopped in front of the diner. I still need to figure out where TRS HQ are at...
He couldn't help but stare back at her, hoping that Umberto would allow him continue hugging him, not having a desire to let go anytime soon. Is that so? Well then, I'll just have to see you again. I won't avoid gaining my memory back because of your threat. He felt her elbow him. "If you hurt Umberto, I won't forgive you!" He shouted at her, prepared to follow but he didn't want to leave Umberto alone. I don't want to go without him.... He would lean closer, "Umberto.... will you please take me to TRS HQ... If there is a chance my memory comes back, I.... I want it back." He whispered, worried that Umberto was upset at him.
Sorrow weighed heavily on Umberto's heart as his upsetting thoughts insisted towards his uselessness; these moments were always the worse. There was a subtle aching in his stomach from the guilt of being incapable of protecting his incredible husband; he deserved better. The pessimistic thoughts hidden inside the familiar's mind insisted that Silas would obey the commands and abandon him as requested. There was no reason to remain alongside him in Umberto's opinion, especially since he failed to protect the man he adored immensely. An ache settled into Umberto's heart at the thought of Silas leaving despite his beliefs that the wraith would be happier amongst better company. The concerns continued, depression baring its teeth while the effects took their strong hold and the darkness closed in around him, then there was warmth.
A soft whisper reached the familiar's ears as arms wrapped around, pulling him close. Instantly, Umberto melting into the embrace, extensive breaths being taken to sooth his rushing thoughts. The calming words of his husband subtly relaxed the former hunter as his mind eased slightly. There was a feeble struggle to adjust himself in the hug, the familiar wrapping his hugging Silas in return, allowing for a momentary silence to settle over them. Certainly, everything would be alright considering his husband was right here instead of leaving. He kept a tight embrace around Silas as he spared a few moments to breathe, ignoring as Sonya went to sort the incident with the dinner.
"Thank-you," he whispered. "I love you so much."
There was a hint of red that touched Umberto's cheeks as he whispered the final line, the familiar unsure if Silas was prepared to handle those words. Displaying his affection felt like necessity after their year of separation, Umberto wishing for the reassurance of Silas returning those delightful words. Quietly, the familiar closed his eyes while he sought refuge in Silas' arms from the pains of his depression. The definition of perfect was wrapped in his arms, this adorable hero who vanquished the darkness that plagued Umberto's life all those years ago and who returned to assist him. There was a subtle phantom pain when Sonya elbowed his husband, his eyes opening to shoot a weak glare towards the exotic woman. The shout from Silas surprised Umberto, the blue-haired man flinching considering he desired to protect his lover. There was a lack of motivation to argue, the bear familiar instead tightening his grip in protest to Silas' words.
When the whisper arrived, Umberto was caught entirely off-guard. The grip of the embrace was loosened to allow himself a chance to stare at his husband, shock obvious in his brilliant blue eyes. Admittedly, the familiar had avoided the TRS headquarters since he remained hesitant for Silas to join again, but could he truly hide him from the TRS? He had informed Silas about his hunter past and forbidding him to enter a place that could possibly return forgotten memories seemed wrong.
"I... I guess," he mumbled, worry breaching his voice.
Afterwards, Umberto reached for Silas' hand as he turned towards the direction that the TRS headquarters would be. There was a pause to take an extensive breath before the familiar began leading the way to the downtown area and shortly the TRS headquarters.
