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.
she knew that there was nothing she could say to make him think otherwise. he would have to come to that realization himself. then only then would he be able to come to terms with what happened. she knew it wasn't going to be something that happened over night. even now it seemed like he was still struggling with it. of he would be, something that terrible it would probably take him a long time.
she looked at him sadden by his words. there really wasn't anything she could say to make him feel better. she wasn't sure if she should ask him, but she was curious. maybe if he was able to talk to his grandparents perhaps they could make him feel less guilty?"have you talked to your grandparents since?"
"meredith, what you've been through...it's not something you could forget. it will take you some time to come to terms with it. it's alright if you don't like the outcome. who would?"she told him softly."so then you keep trying. you move forward and make the best of it."she encouraged him with a smile."if not for yourself for your grandparents. i know they want you to be happy and safe."she told him with a nod.

[attr="class","jawntattxtdiv"] She asks him if he'd ever talked to his grandparents since. That is a simple question. It's easy to reply to but hard to take in. His grandparents had been there for him when mother and father refuse to treat him more properly. Every day they support him the way they can... even to the point of killing his parents for their awfulness. But the answer to it is hard.
[break][break]"...No. I haven't." He shakes his head, almost to the brim of tears once more. "I haven't talked to them after they had killed mother and father. They made me run away. They made me walk an unknown path, something that doesn't have to concern my past since they knew it'll only break me. It still breaks me to this day. But I just wish that I'd stayed with them, or at least make sure they are alright after that incident..."
[break][break]He is cut short when the tears flow rapidly again. His arm instantly tries to wipe it away, but it doesn't stop. He knew he was a weakling, but he wasn't supposed to remain sensitive about this. It's all in the past, and it should all be wiped away. But it isn't, and now Hector's reactions to this conversation are all childish and ridiculous and he shouldn't be crying, he should be more manly than this--
[break][break]But her next words make him stop. It's another speech, a long encouraging one. And somehow... he feels more positive than before. He listens to her words, and the more they pierce his heart, the more he realizes she is right. He's attempted that before... he will attempt that again. If not for himself, his grandparents. It repeats in his mind like a tunnel, the thing that had and would surely keep him going through life.
[break][break]A moment of silence passes by before finally, he turns to her and smiles softly.
she found herself wondering what happened to them? were they searching for him? or had they been caught for their actions.perhaps they had gone into hiding and didn't want to risk being caught? there had to be some way to get some sort of information. then there was the whole situation with his parents being buried. clearly someone that knew them had to of done this? or had it all be prearranged? so many questions left unanswered. she didn't want to voice her concerns. she figured he already had enough to worry about as it was. more than likely he probably had thought of the same questions there were running through her mind.
her heart breaks for him even more. she feels guilty for even bringing that up. again his grandparent didn't seem to care about themselves they wanted to make sure he got away unharmed. she stepped a bit closer and opened her arms and reached towards him, to embrace him if he so desired."it's alright. don't hold back. it's better to let these emotions out."she tells him softly, close to tears herself. honestly she had surprised herself. she was always the first to cry, even more so when others were crying.
she returns his smile."of course dear, i mean that's all anyone can do. just try."he didn't have to share this with her, though she was glad he did. even after they would part ways she would be worried about him."i know we just met, but im here for you if you ever need to vent or talk."she told him with a warm smile.
note: i think you're good! im feeling all the feels lol <3 || tag: @meredith

[attr="class","jawntattxtdiv"] He is forced to ride on a rollercoaster of emotions, an event he does not want to partake in, each time he remembers his parents. He remembers the pain he went through under their care. And then, he remembers his grandparents giving him the love he so desired, wanted, deserved. That love did not die, as is his love for them as well. Their love intensified and turned into protection, even killing his own parents all for the sake of his own welfare. But how about them? How are they? What could they be doing right now?
[break][break]All thoughts trigger his tears to flow continuously, but with the comfort and sympathies of his company he starts to feel much better. Arms wrap around him and he is pulled into a hug by Danika; at first he is left motionless, but he smiles and hugs back, smiling sadly. Suddenly he just wonders if she had been going through the same things, or had a life much better than him. He wants to ask, but he feels he has no right to do so. So instead, he leaves it, and hugs the young woman even tighter.
[break][break]He smiles at her words, wiping the tears off his face. "Again, thank you. The same goes for me. If you ever have problems you can just talk it through with me... if we cross paths again, something I am probably sure of." Sometimes he questions if this really is a possibility, but it's best to be positive about it than the other way around, no?
[break][break]Hector perks his head up and notices that the blue of the sky has been slowly replaced with yellow and pink. He sighs and closes his eyes. "...It's best we leave this place." He declares, glaring one last time at his parents' names. "Not only do I want to see these names again, it's getting dark. We should probably be headed home."
sometimes the only thing you could do is cry. it was no good to push down your emotions. she knew this from experience. pretending everything was okay and then having one insignificant thing take you over the edge. it wasn't worth it. she felt like she suffered twice as much trying when she pretended. without a second thought she had wrapped her arms around him. rubbing his back trying to comfort him as best as she could.
everyone needed a shoulder to cry on. she was glad she was able to be here for him. that he wasn't going through all this pain alone. she slowly releases him from her embrace. she smiles at him."of course. this is a lot to deal with. i appreciate that. i hope so, i want to make sure you're okay even after we part ways, for now."she tells him honestly.
"you're ready to go? alright, im ready too."she tells him with a nod."yes, it's been an eventful day. you should get some rest."she replies as she starts walking towards the main path. it had been quiet an eventful day for them both. she really hoped he would be okay after this, though she knew it would take some time.

[attr="class","jawntattxtdiv"] Hector is more than glad to have her as company today. Danika has done much more even with them having only met just today; she'd comforted him whenever he needed it, and allowed herself to be a shoulder to cry on. He's never met anyone who's displayed the equal amount of kindness Danika had shown him today, so it was more than a nice feeling to meet someone like this.
[break][break]Her statements make him smile. For sure, if she does have any problems of her own, if they would ever meet, he'd be there to support her. "It's only right for me to do the same to the person who did her best to help me overcome my emotional issues." He states quietly and withdraws the hug, looking at the yellow sky mixed with bits of pinks and dark purple. "People just have to return the favor."
[break][break]She agrees to part ways for now and wishes him luck on getting over his memories, and he nods at this. Hector is not entirely sure if he could. But for more than eighteen years he's practiced not remembering his past already... maybe he could try it again.
[break][break]Hector bows and smiles at the young woman. "Goodbye for now, Danika. I hope you also have a good day."
[break][break]He walks the opposite path, and is off to where he had been before, calling this day to an end.
