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.

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.
Fiona had barely figured out where she was at on the app when arms had picked her up. She blushed as she looked to see Cassidy was holding her and it wasn't likely he'd be letting go anytime soon. "I know I can escape from you in your city." She poked his nose with her free hand. "What can I say? You were playing your music and not noticing anybody else standing nearby, the action was the least I could do. No you can't keep me in your apartment because I have work tomorrow...." She also had her own apartment but he didn't need to know that just yet.
A small grin appeared on her face. "You can't take back what you said back there. Your banned from taking it back." She answered, not giving him an answer back on her feelings on the subject. She knew that she cared about him and she has had a crush on him since middle school, but she wasn't sure if love was the correct word or not. She was still sorting out her feelings on the subject. "What is this about bandmates that might be interested in knowing you have a monkey.... I recall you saying one is a girl...." She was slightly jealous that he would hang around other girls.
Cassidy looked at her as she was in his arms as she said she could escape from him in his own city. "Oh really, you have to bring up maps just to know where you were... How do you expect to escape from me when you have no idea where you are." he said as he saw her phone that had maps out. If she really thought she could run and hide, she is sure welcome to try, but he has lived here for almost ten years now. Doubtful she could escape when he knows just about every nook of this city.
As he looked away when she poked his nose as a bit of a blush covered his cheeks as she talked. Soooo her excuse to get attention was stealing money. Hardly seems fair. "So let me get this right. So to be noticed, instead of waiting until I was done, you decided to steal from me... You are impatient as ever." he said to her as he looked down at her, into her green eyes with a bit of a glare at her reasoning for stealing.
As she looked at him and asking about his band mates, and that one was a girl. As he just smiled slyly and a bit devilish. "Aww is poor Fiona jelly of other girls near me. Does Fiona need a smooch for reinsurance." he said teasingly as he started to make a kissy face towards the woman in his arms.
Fiona just smirked at Cassidy, "Oh trust me, round two and you won't be able to keep up." She was positive only because she was getting used to this place. As soon as she figured out where everything was at, she'd have an easy time hiding from him, if she wanted. "That is right." She answered him, "It sure worked too, if I do say so myself." She was pleased with herself, it wasn't like she was planning on keeping his money or something, it was just all for fun.
"And don't you forget it." She didn't care that he thought she was impatient, after finding out that he was in this city, she was the one that found him and not the other way around. "Looks like I won that hide and seek game by the way." She teased, not ready to admit that she lived here now. When he made his comment about his bandmates, she pouted. "Now now, don't be like that..." She answered him in return, not quite ready for a kiss.
They may have been childhood friends and all but she wasn't ready to give that a try just yet. So since he waited this long, waiting a little bit longer shouldn't be too much trouble for him. "Oh and correction, I didn't steal your money, I borrowed it which later turned into a dare. If you think you can keep me in your apartment Mr. you have another thing coming." She teased playfully looking up at him.
Cassidy looked at the girl still in his arms as she talked. As one eyebrow just raised when she said she won the hide and seek game... "I didn't know we were playing hide and seek. Nor did I know we were playing." he said as he just looked down at her. "Plus like how does stealing my money justify things. You could have just waited. I would have noticed that green hair of yours." he said as he just kept holding her in his arms and people walked around them looking at them in a bit of a weird way.
As he was making kissy faces towards the woman she said don't be like that. "Says the one that pointed out that I had a bandmate that is a woman...a bit jelly at least." he said teasingly back to the green haired woman as he looked down at her and stuck out his tongue at her playfully.
She started to talk as his eyebrow raised again. "Oh" he said as he looked at her. "And when did this turn into dare. Actually how did this turn into a game in the first place. All I remember is a monkey stealing my money." he said as he let her go. Almost dropping her, trying to scare her a bit for a bit of payback.
As he turned heal and started to walk back towards his apartment. "Buuuuut if you don't think I can get you back into my apartment that's fine. Guess you will never see me aaagain then. Ooooor I could just go hang out with Kira, my bandmate. I know she would come over...." he said quite suggestively trying to entice her to come back by playing on her jealously.
Fiona sighed, "You moved here, I found you...." She answered, "Then of course you found a monkey but that doesn't count because I gave you a reason to notice." She countered, "Waited a few more minutes? Yeah.... no." She felt like she had waited long enough, besides, she wanted to get him away from the citizens roaming the streets. Of course they were back at square one but that was besides the point. "I would agree but I have to disagree." She answered, remembering his concert all to well. If he had noticed the green hair, he would have seen her then too and if he had seen her there, no, she didn't want to think he had chosen to avoid her over his song even if he was apart of a band.
"What ever." She side glanced, a small blush appearing on her cheeks. Once more, it felt like they were childhood, him teasing her like he had back then. The subject had changed slightly and she was already prepared to answer his question. "The moment you told the monkey she'd be staying at your apartment permanently and I don't recall you getting permission to tease me, so I don't need your permission to start a game." She countered, finally feeling like she got even with him. Well sort of. When he let her go, she flinched slightly, forcing herself to hold her break because she wasn't about to scream for him.
She was passed the scares he put her through as a kid, or at least that is what she told herself and yet when he had picked her up, moments prior, she couldn't help but fell like her heart had skipped a beat. He had been there, she knew he would catch up, but still.... the arms picking her up, it had been frightful and thrilling at the same time. He turned away from her and she just stared back at him. She frowned when he threatened her with his bandmate. "One, I know where you live. So I'm sure I'll see you again, two, that is just fine. Just means you lied to a monkey." She countered, somewhat disappointed in him because she believed it.
"Now you on the other hand, you don't know where I live. Now do you?" She called, smirking slightly. If he thought she was going back into his apartment without a fight, then he didn't realize that she wasn't that little girl that he used to hang around as a kid. It wasn't like she was here on vacation. She turned to leave, planning on going to the bus stop to catch the bus. She had after all, made herself known to him after all. The real question was, would he really let her get away, despite the fact that he had been the one to leave in the first place.
Cassidy glanced behind him as he walked away to see her looking at him as she then spoke. Saying all kinds of things that made his eyebrow lift a bit. So she lived here now. And she isn't one to let the leaving tactic get to her anymore. Which was a shame because it worked all the time back in the day. But seems like she has grown up a bit. But was still as beautiful as ever. As he turned to her and slowly inched his way towards her as she turned to leave.
He had gotten close enough to poke her back. "well if you wanna play it that way with all the low blows you threw my way because I take my music seriously and you know this." he said as he looked at her as he just squinted a bit as a bit of a judging look for her being all impatient back there because he was playing his guitar and she wasn't noticed right away. Not like she is some princess or something... Well to him she was princess, but to everyone else she was just a woman. If everyone just stopped to look he probably would have too.
"So how about this, you go on a date with me then we will see if I don't pay any mind to you." he said as he looked down at her, seeing if he could get a response out of her. Plus he actually did want to go on a date to catch up with her. But since she was sooooooo upset she wasn't noticed right when she came, she better expect another thing coming when he takes her out on a date.
Fiona giggled when he poked her back. I win. She thought to herself as she looked back at him. "Come now.... you haven't seen me in years and your worried about your music for one day.... Maybe I should let you be right and do it more often." Of course she wasn't serious, but he didn't need to know that. To his suggestion, she blushed. "Okay." Just because she hadn't followed him back to the apartment, didn't mean that she was ready to leave him just yet. They had only just met up, besides he loved her and she had feelings for him too.
She poked his cheek, teasingly. "You forgot to collect my number..." Since he hadn't asked, maybe she'll give him a hard time getting it. "Oh wait, are you sure your bandmate won't get jealous?" She teased, seeing as he had mentioned her earlier, it seemed only fair to return the favor. She couldn't help but hope that she would get jealous, the only one Cassidy should want to be with is her, nobody else. She closed the maps on her phone and slipped it into her pocket.
Cassidy felt his cheek be pushed in as she poked him again as his eye just squinted again. Who does she think she is heh. Being all high and mighty like that. "Maybe you should be the one trying to get my number since it seemed like you were the one to find me out." he said turning logic on it's head. He just didn't want to loose, nor did he want to admit defeat...not just yet. Even though he was already defeated considering she knows that he loved her. It came out of his own mouth too damnit.
As he just sighed, "Says the one that brought my band mates up first. So who is the real jealous one here huh." he said jokingly as he stuck out his tongue at her to tease her even more. Just like Cassidy though, to turn the teaser into the teased or at least try to.
"Pluuuus you know how important music is to me, why you so mad that I didn't notice you when you never said anything about coming, didn't send a letter or anything. So reaaallllyyy it your own fault there sweetie." he said trying to turn logic upside down again and get all the blame off himself and back onto her. This was their relationship back then...and through the years it hasn't changed one bit. Her being the actual smart one, and him just turning things around and trying to tease her back.
Fiona just grinned at him. "Awwwwwww come now...... Don't make me do all the work." She teased, frankly liking the idea of him getting her phone number more. "Besides, your the nicer of us two, right?" She teased, just trying to encourage him to give in and ask for her number. It could only backfire on him by this point. She giggled when he sighed, "No.... I recall you bringing them up first. I mean you were talking to a monkey but I still got the message all the same." She grinned, not letting him win. Though as a human, yes she had brought it up first.
Though he had written to her, she hadn't gotten the letters because her parents hadn't given it to her. "Write you? I didn't have your address." She countered, unaware that he had likely written to her. What is he talking about? She slowly touched her forehead with her hand. "I just came here because I got a job here..." She added, not wanting him to think she had gotten his address because she honestly hadn't. My parents are gone and I had a chance to write him?
Cassidy looked at the green haired girl with a bit of a glare as she just wouldn't back down. Just like old times though, well without her fighting back that is. The way she is now, he liked a bit more. Made it so much more worth it to tease her now that she fought back a bit. "I'm not as nice as you remember" he said with a bit of a thinking look as he was trying to remember when he was actually nice to her, he was, but it always came with teasing.
"Oh yea and address would have helped huh..." he said as he forgot how letters work in this day and age with how much technology they have. As he looked at her surprised... "Wait you have a job in the city. Why didn't you tell me sooner..." he paused as he looked at her with another glare. "You probably came to today to tell me but you were so impatient that you couldn't even wait like two minuets to finish and look up at the crowd and see you." he said with a bit of a glare at her, knowing now that she had just moved to the city. Seriously though, she couldn't have waited two minuets for him finish the song.
As he reached into his back pocket and took out his phone. I guess she won't back down. And with what I said earlier, there is no way she won't get that down especially if I don't get her number... he thought as he extended his hand with his phone and new contact page open. "Here since you won't let me win." he said as he looked away from her, being all salty that he couldn't just win.
Fiona just giggled, "Oh yes you are." She countered, not willing to accept him not being. He would just have to prove it, if he expected her to think differently. "Well I'm sure my parents had it, but I didn't get any letters." She told him, not wanting to flat out say her parents withheld any because she didn't want to believe it, though if there was a chance that he had, it would explain why she didn't get any of them since she hadn't written him back. She stared at him, giving him the are you serious look. "What can I say? We hadn't talked in years."
She shrugged her shoulders at him. "But yes, I did come here to tell you that." With a pause she grinned, "And yes I am impatient, don't you forget it." She giggled, not regretting her choice to steal his money. "Your the one who got distracted by a monkey, not my fault." She teased him, pleased when she had noticed him pulling out his phone. She stole his phone to put her contact info in, before handling it back to him. "Don't be like that, I'm still in the city." She teased him some more, finding this fun.
"Nice band by the way." She added, curious on how he would react to her already knowing all about it. Let him become hopefully curious on how long she had been here before finding out she lived here now.
"says the one that turned into the monkey to steal someone's hard earned money." he said with a sour look on his face, he wasn't about to take any of her teasing with her being the one to initiate all of this in the first place as he kept that sour face as she kept talking even saying something about his band. You say anything about his band and he could talk forever about it. Or music in general. He sure was a music nut through and through. She knows, he could talk anyone's ear off with music, bands he loves, how to get the best sound of a guitar and all that. He could go on for days.
When she mentioned his band his eyes sparkled a bit in excitement. "Right. we are gaining popularity by the day, surprisingly for a post hardcore band such as us. But hey I'll take it." he said as he looked at her with a smile. "You just better not get jelly when I hang out with them a lot. Or cause we have a girl in our band." he said as he stuck his tongue out at her playfully.
Fiona shrugged her shoulders at his comment. Then she changed the subject to his band, excited that he seemed thrilled by the topic. "Relax, my mind has other things to worry about then some girl in your band." She countered, talking about work but he could take that comment however he wanted. It seemed to her that his goal was to see her get jealous again, so she didn't see any harm in doing it back to him. "I should talk to her, tell her that she better make sure that you stay out of trouble." She teased, hinting that she wouldn't be able to do it herself, but kept the reason why that would be vague, though in her mind it was because of work. She had to take care of herself after all.
