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.

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.

Koda had looked at Min as she said some things he was thinking. Even though it seemed like she was becoming less and less stable. Which could be his fault...actually most likely his fault. Or it could just be the fact that she is unstable to begin with... Either way it was best to at least please his girl before she did something stupid. Especially something stupid to him which could get her killed.
As he moved his new arm around. He just couldn't get over the fact that this wasn't his arm. He was used to regrowing limbs. But they were still his own limbs. Not somebody else's. It was an odd sensation that he need to get used to. As he looked back at his arm that was on fire. "Such a disappointment. I really liked those tattoos on that arm..." he said to himself. As he heard a noise of something big coming their way as he looked up and saw helicopters. Most likely TRS ones too coming to squash any bug that killed their men.
He looked at Min before grabbed her and picking her up. She might be fine yes. But he was a bit faster and had more stamina. "We will have to put a pause on hunting her for a bit until we know we won't be tracked." he said to her as he held her whether she liked it or not she was going to be carried away that was happening.
"Plus I don't think you will survive another encounter if they bringing that many men. Nor will I." he added before taking off. "After all can't let my girl die, especially not to filthy TRS cunts." he added as he they were already pretty far from the scene of the crime. As he just held her close as he flew by buildings, running pretty fast. As he held Min in his arms as they made their way through the streets, through yards of random houses, and some woods before he could barely see the helicopters. As he slid to a stop and put her down.
"We should be far enough away now." he said as he took a breath. He hasn't ran like in a very very long time. Not that he wasn't in shape but he probably just ran ten or so miles in a short amount of time. As he looked at Min, and leaned down and kissed her. "You were pretty hot back there going all berserk on those fuckers." he said after releasing her lips.
The roaring jangle of the helicopters wings can well be heard even from hundreds of yards away. Min could detect 3...4...5 of them, in fact, it would only be reasonable if more vehicles are on their way via land. The twinging of Min's jaws intensified to the point of her teeth audibly rattling against each other. The aura of contempt was all too palpable from the girl's wide-eyed scowl towards the contingent of enemies headed their way. Before realizing it, the palpitations in her heart had reached its zenith as it elicited a pained groan from Min's lip, compelling her to clutch her chest tightly in the most strenuous fashion. Frown soon turned to grin... grin soon turned to laughter. The troubled girl's high-pitched yet raspy voice now echoed throughout the nearby area. Before long, her maniacal laughter faded as quickly she ran out of breath only to follow it through with a frenzied cry "ARRRRGH YOU SHITFUCKS!".
Already, her heart began to pound at an unprecedented rate. One could spare her a closer look only to see her arms and legs clearly trembling in place. Despite her noticeable wrath, it would seem as though Min herself could not fully hide her uneasiness given the situation at hand. How could she not? If given a choice, she would have dashed the fuck out of the scene, after all she would have doubted her own abilities to take on a full TRS detachment under normal circumstances. However, the invigorating presence of her beloved Koda was akin to that of a drug, a drug much more stimulating than any she had taken or was subjected to in the past. At that moment, delusions of grandeur began clouding her better judgement in spite of her apparent fear and injured organs.
Her body seemed to be moving on its own despite her inner cries to halt this foolish endeavor, even if it meant forcing Koda to flee with her should he decide to take on all of them by himself. Then again, she pretty much consigned her body to the call of battle from the moment she was born... she was never in control in the first place... Her body was literally impelling her fight to the death despite not actually wanting to die yet, not now... now that she might have found the one... Casually snatching an automatic rifle off the ground whilst limping her way towards the enemy's direction, she could only be heard muttering inaudible gibberish in Korean. Suddenly, time slowed down as she sensed the looming presence of a speeding Koda from behind. For a flashing moment, both their eyes locked onto each other, compelling Min's turbulent thoughts to come to a standstill.
It only took a fleeting moment before Min practically allowed Koda to sweep her off her foolish feet and hear him express his inclination to retreat, much to her genuine relief the coward!. Almost instantly, the dreaded expression that Min wore on her face mere seconds ago shifted to that of a flustered and infatuated young woman. Before long, Koda dashed off with Min in his arms "Koda-sama..." Min softly uttered upon hearing his desire to preserve her warm body protect her from the enemy. The expeditious journey felt almost surreal...
The intense breeze of the summer night ruffled against skirt and unruly mass of hair as they bolted through countless houses, buildings and streets encompassing the suburban outskirts of Lorsette city. In the meanwhile, shaky hands gently clutched Koda's upper arms and mere seconds afterwards, they began stabilizing as seemingly all of Min's anger and anxieties faded... She soon closed her eyes and could not help but burrow her head in Koda's warm embrace before soberly breaking out in song...
She made especially sure to sing the calming melody in the language which her beloved can understand. As to whether or not Koda will appreciate her expression of love disguised as magic to rejuvenate herself mattered little. Neither was Min sure if her magic's effect will extend its soothing effect towards Koda, although she was fine with the notion of her self-proclaimed, "substandard" magic to be imperceptible to the superior being that is Koda. The lyrics as sung by the elf were pretty straightforward in conveying her absolute love for Koda... Just as the two reached the border to the woodlands, Min could already feel the lead bullet slowly being expelled from her body in the midst of her revitalizing melody.
By the time that Koda came to a full spot, the melodic song was already over. They were pretty much in the borders of the large expanse of a dense boreal forest before Min even came back to her senses. Only after taking heed of their current situation was she once again greeted by the uplifting sensation of Koda's lips pressed against that of her own... Right after being released from his kiss and being praised her earlier outburst of rage, she could not help but envelop Koda's body in her tight embrace... "Koda-sama..." She uttered in Japanese "How much do you love me?" She suddenly asked, the uncharacteristic calmness in her voice almost eerie to a certain degree.

Koda had heard the woman in his arms break out into song as he sprinted between houses and other types of buildings trying to flee the scene. And by the time they came to a standstill. His blood-lust and enjoyment of killing had faded. A small part was being out of combat and the threat of the TRS army coming for them. But mostly Min's singing eased him to a more calming state. His usual calmness taking over instead of his sickening blood-lust that emitted a eerie aura. now was just calm and ready to go home pretty much.
Koda looked out to the bright light that was the city ahead of them. As he looked over it he thought it was his playground. His place to torment. And he wouldn't have it any other way. Until his thought was cut in half to hearing his Min speak to him in Japanese. Luckily he lived there for about one hundred years so he understood it. Because if he didn't he might think she saying something different and kill her on the spot...
But he did understand which was good for Min. As he turned to her, as he extended his arm to her, grasping her shoulder with his hand and moved her back from her embrace to stare at her in the eyes like he was disappointed in her for even asking that. Then yanking her back into his body, embracing her. "Idiot, of course I do." he responded in Japanese as he looked down at her providing her a soft smile for once. The way she said it almost threw him off but by this point, he was getting a bit used to her unstable personality. As he let her go and leaned down to be eye level with her. "If I didn't, I would have left you there to die. I wouldn't have risked my life to save you." he added as he poked her nose, teasing her a bit to cheer her up a bit and get her out of that thought. As he kissed her cheek before leaning up again.
As he leaned back at bit and let himself fall onto his back with a thud. "I'm tired though. I think the combo of fighting like that which I haven't had to in a while plus the song you just sang made me really tired." he said as he just looked up at the sky through the tree's branches to see the stary night sky.
Koda released Min from his warm embrace, leaving her mind stumped for a brief moment... This man must be messing around to declare his love for her so candidly. An otherwise loathsome man who would have typically been despised by any decent or sane individual, how fortunate indeed that Min is neither decent nor sane. Koda's laid-back teasing elicited a placid smile from the girl's lips. As much as it baffled Min, her spell seemed to have done its magic on Koda. She was then reduced to giggling softly after Koda's affectionate kiss of her cheek. Ar first glance, one could hardly believe that these two committed mass murder mere moments prior.
미치게 만들어 니가
(You drive me crazy)
It was not long before Koda expressed his fatigue and promptly sprawled his back onto the forest floor, having stated the possibility of her song inducing it within him. "Ah s-sorry! Y-you could still walk right?" By then, her grasp of the English language seems to have resurfaced. Min could only stare awkwardly at the countless pine needles that blanketed the forest floor as she chuckled lightly. "Should we go home, or..." She stopped the question right there. As much as she would have typically desired for some fun time right here... in a secluded area... in the cover of the woods- She and Koda would most likely not have been in the optimal state for such escapades, for all they know, the TRS might still be hot on their trail.
Min strolled over beside the now lying Koda and slowly got onto her knees shortly before she herself was lounging about the needle covered ground. Her eyes soon followed Koda's example as she engrossed herself with the countless stars above. There were several points in her life where the vastness of the night sky was her television, its perpetual view of the lifeless and monotonous stars being her only past time. It has... certainly been a long time since the stars shined so brightly, a scenery she had grown sick and tired of, now resurfacing with its lustrous and vibrant glow. Before she knew it, her body began instinctively and gradually sliding closer towards Koda. She slowly turned towards Koda, the typical sensation of lust was strangely absent from her and was instead replaced by an overwhelming tranquility upon beholding Koda's expression...
그런 바보같은 사랑
(What ridiculous love)
She scooted closed enough to Koda and wasted no time in grabbing his hand, her arm's bloodsoaked sleeve and bandages having been further tainted by dirt and leaves in the process. "It's not fair..." She uttered intuitively. With her head now fully turned towards Koda's general direction, she took liberties in showering him with her longing stare like usual. This time though, a most peculiar quaintness is palpable from the elf's face. No hints of her usual anxiety nor any of the redness that accompanied it, the peaceful expression she exhibited only emphasized a pristine elven allure that is otherwise impaired by her usually corrupt intentions... "You're... making me crazy for you... I love you so much it hurts..." Min articulated in a rather solemn voice, her eyes beginning to water once again.
혼자서 하는게사랑...
(Love is something I do alone...)
Nevertheless, her mind was at peace, at least for this brief moment of calmness. Perhaps it was the effect of the spell that incited the girl to genuinely express such redundant emotions yet, to be able to do so without losing it everytime was kind of nice.

Koda watched the night sky as a couple minuets had gone by of him just staring up into the sky. It was shame he was a vampire. He would love to sit out on a sunny day to enjoy the weather without the potential of dying. As he heard Min lay down next to him and start to scoot closer and closer. As she took his hand, as he glanced down at her. Seeing her blood soaked sleeves and clothes. As he just starred at her with his crimson eyes.
As she spoke, Koda just lifted an eyebrow. He looked at with a bit of pity. It wasn't his fault he was making her crazy... well maybe it was. But that shouldn't excuse her behavior sometimes. As he just freed his hand from her clutches as he sat up and used rested his arms on his knees. What was he going to say to that? This was more of a sticky situation for the womanizer. Despite all the experience he has with woman and when they get too attached. But those woman usually meant nothing to him. But after tonight, seeing Min loose herself like that. Almost made his dead heart skip. It was an odd feeling to say the least for the vampire whom usually felt nothing. But right now he felt something for the girl next to him.
As he looked back at her. "Well I think I have fallen for you..." he said pretty honestly for once in his life. As he looked at his hand to judge himself if he was lying to himself or not, and this was really happening. As he continued. "After tonight, I don't think I want anything to happen to you." he said as he starred at her. "So you better now loose your cool like you did back there when there is that many surrounding us." he paused to look away for a second then back to her. "But when it a couple or more, loose your shit all you want, it was pretty damn hot." he said with a bit of a smile.
Koda stood up, as the surrounding area and city started to get brighter. "Well looks like it's time to head home." he said as he extended a hand out to help Min. "Better get home before sunrise and I start loosing strength rapidly." he added as he helped her up and started to walk back home.
Min's watery eyes followed Koda's every move. Clearly her words and actions somehow found a way reach that otherwise wicked heart of his, this too Min managed to detect. Perhaps it was her Elven magic from earlier, or maybe he was simply saying it from the heat of the moment. Either way the words uttered by him were not lies, that much she can uncover from his uncharacteristic display of sincerity. A most peculiar sense of ambivalence began to overwhelm the girl's already fragile mind. What was she supposed to say? How was she supposed to feel? What is this unfamiliar sensation permeating throughout her mind, body and soul? Under normal circumstances, she would have probably gone crazy after Koda's earnest display of love... this truly was a moment she will remember, for better or even for worse.
She merely laid down the forest floor, her clothes bloodied and unassuming eyes still observing Koda as the vampire slowly got up to his feet. Her very form conveying the illusion of a vulnerable young maiden in spite of her vicious performance prior. As such, Min herself proceeded to sit herself up. The expression on her face remained strangely tranquil, devoid of the usual blushing and awkward smiling. Whether or not it is due to her placating spell or that the said expression is genuine remains unclear, although a faint smile remained on her lips nonetheless. Koda may not yet be fully aware of the whirlwind of bittersweet emotions his sweet words elicited onto Min.
Koda's subsequent comments prompted Min to look up the sky, its once starry canvas now beginning to fade. "You're right, careful about the TRS though." she added. Then Koda outstretched his hand for her to which she immediately grabbed with both of hers. As soon as she was propelled up to her feet, she wasted no time in securing Koda's arm in her warm embrace. It would appear as though that part of her remained. After rubbing her face against Koda's newly grown arm, she then went on to scan the nearby area with her superhuman vision for any possible threats.
"All clear... let's go home..." She said while her upturned face smiled to him. As they began to wander off, Min made especially sure not to release Koda's arm, the vampire is going to have to go home with a lovestruck girl clinging to him it would seem. Min will not let him go... no she will not... not after what he said to her. No matter what happens... Min is not going to let him go as long as she lived... whether he liked it or not...
