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

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.

Ossian found himself jogging back to his apartment. Once outside his door, he unlocked it before going inside, making sure to lock it behind him. He goes jogging everyday at 2:00PM, running always two miles. He would go into the bathroom to get cleaned up, before changing into a long sleeved shirt with blue jeans. His schedule was normally the same on a daily bases, having work then going home. He was only really interested in his fitness but there were times when he would leave to go watch a movie or go on a date with a cute guy.
He made his way towards the living room, laying on the couch for a few hours, watching tv, only taking a break to eat lunch before going into the bathroom to get ready for work. He would switch into a dress shirt with black slacks before walking back out of the bathroom for his keys, wallet, phone. He went to the front door, opening it before exiting, making sure to lock it behind him. His shift sometimes would vary, sometimes being able to take somebody elses shift for more hours.
He walked towards the nightclub, making sure to get there early before taking the next shift. The line was as long as ever and he was already looking to see who appeared to young to be going inside, they were going to be asked to show id. The line started moving as he allowed people to go inside, the next few people were a bunch of girls, he didn't ask for their id because they looked old enough to go inside but the guy, he looked attractive and frankly he wanted a reason to talk to him.
"Oh fuck." Leon muttered under his breath as he neared the night club, his eyes pratically rolling into the back of his head at the sight of such a line. It had been a long, rather boring day at the clinic, and Leon did not want to wait in a line forever for no real reason. What he really wanted was to get hammered in a confusion, brightly colored night club, with music blasting so loud that it hurt his head. That's what he wanted to relieve the stress from the day at work, where he recieved quite a handful of unsavory characters.
With an exaggerated huff, his green gaze fell upon a small spot near the front of the line, where someone he recognized was at. It was a group of girls, with one of them being one of his former one night stands. Taking a deep breath and straightening his posture, Leon strolled up to her casually, saying a simple, charismatic "hello" before running a hand through Leon's nicely combed hair. With that, he snuck behind the group of girls, acting like he belonged there all along.
There were only a few filler minutes until they were at the front of the line, able to go in. Leon couldn't surpress his strange flurry of emotions, from excitement to crippling anxiety, but he was prepared to handle anything that happened. The brunet was determined to have a good, intoxicated time after the day he'd had. With that in mind, he fiddled with the collar of his button-down before stepping up to the bouncer, prepared to move through smoothly with the rest of his 'group'. That was at least, until he was stopped.
A twing of annoyance hit Leon, before he glanced at the bouncer that stopped him. The other man was...attractive to say the least, but the brunet still saw no reason to stop him. "Uh, do you need my I.D. or something?" Leon asked quizically, an eyebrow quirking up as he stared at the blonde.
Ossian couldn't help but find Leon's face expression somewhat amusing. It was true that he hadn't a real reason to stop him, but how else was he supposed to get his attention for a chat? The guy was going to follow the girls inside, he thought he looked like he'd be fun to stop at the door. Or wait, start a conversation, stopping him at the door was just an excuse. "Yes, I need your id...." He answered, I wonder what would happen if I took it..... He thought to himself with a slight smirk as he waited for Leon to provide the id for him to see.
Is there anything else I can do to keep him around just a little bit longer? Noooo I'll just have to see if I can take my break while he is still in there.... or try and get a conversation when he tries leaving. With my luck, it might be too late though.... It won't stop me from trying. He thought to himself, still having that smirk on his face. Of course anybody else in line might not be thrilled that he had stopped him at the front of the line, but frankly he didn't care what they thought.
He was the bouncer here and they'd be let in sooner or later. Once Leon showed him the id card, he looked it over. "You do realize it is expired right?" He teased, handing the id card back over to Leon. "Only kidding." He allowed Leon to go inside the nightclub if he wanted. Damn it.... I could have come up with something better than that, couldn't I? He felt slightly frustrated that he had to let Leon go.
The next person in line asked if he needed to see id, but he waved them inside without conversation. The next few people to step up to him, appeared somewhat young. So for the sake of avoiding being wrong, he told them to show id. The id cards looked fake, so he refused to let them inside, in which case they get him a hard time about it. "I know a fake id card when I see it, these aren't real."
If he had to guess, the two guys were likely seventeen and the girls with them were no older then sixteen. Why teens would brother trying to get in were beyond him, but he wasn't about to let them in. Hmm.... I bet I'll see that guy before my shift is over.... He thought happily when the teens finally got out of line and walked away from him.
The brunet was prepared for anything from this bouncer. Hell, knowing himself and his past, Leon was half-expecting this guy to be the boyfriend of one of his flings, and ultimately beating the shit out of him. Wouldn't be the first nor the last time. No matter how attractive the guy was, shit like this always happened to go wrong. But, what did surprise the man was that nothing happened. It was a smooth interaction, with the man cracking a joke before just allowing him to pass.
It didn't feel right to Leon.
So with a quick smile and nod at the bouncer, Leon was determined to change this interaction around. Have something more interesting to happen. So before he pushed through the double doors, the brunet brushed his hand against the other man's, a quick movement of tracing his fingertips across skin. Snatching up his I.D., Leon smirked as he slipped through the doors, acting as if nothing happened at all.
The moment the doors popped open, the sound really hit him. The bass vibrated straight to his bones, with each sound seeming to reach into his inner core and rattle the shit out of it. Already, Leon was digging the atmosphere. The painful flashing lights, loud noises, no speaking - just dancing. Even some drugs were roaming around the crowds. With a smirk and another hand running through his floppy hair, he happily went into the commotion.
Bumping and grinding within moments, Leon was feeling so good. After such an annoyance of a line, it was time to have fun - but, at the thought of the line, another image came back to him. The blond outside the door. For a moment, his good mood faltered. Leon wanted to be having fun with that bouncer, not all these random sweaty girls and boys surrounding him, currently trying to shove drugs down his throat.
Leon didn't last long amongst the sweaty bodies. Before long he was already bored with all these interactions that didn't matter. Pushing his way out of the crowd, he emmerged back near the entrance with a wide eye look. Even his subconscious was trying to drag him out there - how weird. It wasn't like him not[/]i to follow his gut, so with that thought, Leon walked forward and opened the double doors. He decided it was time to be smooth. He can continued his way forward, before stopping at the nearby curb. Reaching into his pocket, the twenty-four-year-old placed a cigarette in between his lips. Lighting it up, he inhaled the smoke deep into his lungs, releasing, before taking a quick look back at the other man. Leon was pratically daring him to come over.
Ossian was surprised when he felt Leon brush his hand against his, it wasn't a simple touch on accident, it almost seemed on purpose, not that he would mind. Of course Leon had grabbed his id back before he could call him out on it, if he had the chance he would have teased him about it. He was somewhat sad when Leon had gone inside, but that could be expected since he had come here to go inside the nightclub. He had just finished looking over more id's before allowing the people to enter. It was possible they weren't of age but it was too hard for him to tell.
Young adults looked around the same age to him. Though no sooner had they been sent in that the door had opened and Leon had come out of it. He didn't linger very long. He thought to himself, smirking as he watched him walk away. The people next in line caught his attention as they wanted to be allowed inside, he allowed them back in, not wanting to focus on them but instead have his attention all on Leon. When Leon had stopped at the curb, he was somewhat surprised to see him pull a cigarette out.
He was quick to light it before taking a smoke. He was about to look back at the people in line when Leon had glanced right at him. That look, it was as if he was dared to come over but he had to handle the door, he couldn't just leave it right now, could he? Perfect luck happened when another co worker had gone outside, so he got them to take over the bouncer role before making his way over towards Leon, unsure on how long he'd get to be around him, but first things first.
"You know, smoking isn't very healthy." He grinned, not about to tell Leon what to do. At least he managed to say something else to him, despite Leon having traced his hand with his finger tips earlier.
