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

Summer 2024
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.
Since the wonderful members of TDOM enjoy the site enough to play around on it, this thread is to assist with the site's tidying! Functionality is important and we want to make the site functional even if its activity will be minimal at best!
how did things turn out this way? her friends had been talking about it. they were all going to sign up. somehow they ended up saying that she wasn't as spontaneous as they were. one thing lead to another and she ended up signing her name and to her disbelief, they had all backed out. she hadn't told anyone where she was heading, least of all her brother. after the teasing she pulled on him, she knew that he would definitely use this to his full advantage. it's not like she snuck out. she was going out and she wouldn't be out too late.
hey, at least she wouldn't be spending today alone. for all, she knew maybe she would make a new friend today? she was a pretty sociable person, but this whole thing was making her nervous. then again who wouldn't be nervous. this wasn't something she typically did. she was too focused on her studies to worry about dating and the like. yet, here she was. it wasn't like she wasn't going to show up. she wasn't that mean. she smoothed her dress down as she waited for her date to arrive. she was a little early. she was afraid she was going to be late, considering how long she had taken to decide on an outfit. should she wear something comfortable or something cute? in the end she ended up picking a knee-length dark floral dress. she had her hair down in loose curls.
maybe she was late? had she missed them? she should have arrived sooner. well, there was no sense in fretting. a few more minutes of waiting wouldn't hurt. she moved away from the entrance and took a seat on a nearby bench. she pulled her phone out and randomly checked the time.
Rainer wasn't late due to having just found out his friends signed him up. He was wearing his normal black gothic steampunk look. He hoped this was a good idea after all he was a theif. But the kids he hung out with thought he could use some time with someone besides others from the slums. Then again the guys could have pulled a trick on him as many people normally did besides who would want to date a fallen angel theif. For it wasn't a rational idea. He walked around his strong build and clothes making him stand out as did his metal piercings. Maybe this wasn't a good idea maybe this person would just laugh like all the others. Oh well, let's get it started I guess. Then again he had actually forgotten the name of the person he was supposed to find so he wrote a sign with his name on it near the entrance.
This is stupid why would they approach you he told himself as he hadn't noticed but his deformed wings were out as people laughed and whispered since they were somewhat large but were so deformed they didn't look like they could fly. As well as being black with white on the tips of his wings. elysia wilts
it seemed like she had been staring at her phone for what seemed like ages. checking the time and then eventually going back to the contact information she had recieved. not much information was given. just time, location and of course the person's name. she turned off her phone and slipped into her pocket. which was a great thing about this dress. apart from being really cute, it had pockets.
her thoughts about pockets and dresses were interrupted by some obnoxious laughter. she had been so distracted she wasn't looking towards the entrance anymore. which had been the reason she had stayed there. so see if her date would arrive in case she had been early enough to show up. she stood up and made her way towards them. seriously people could be so rude. it was true, he didn't look like everyone else here, but what was wrong with being different. it wasn't till she had reached him that she started to feel nervous. she had never been good at this dating thing. what if they had nothing to talk about. elysia knew she was capable of talking way too much and she hoped she didn't do that even if there was some sort of awkward silence between them.
"sorry i'm late. i'm elysia your date."she told him with a smile.
“Hey there” he said plainly “look let’s get one thing straight I’m not very good at this whole dating thing, the other homeless kids I look after thought it would be a good idea” he said. He wasn’t even dressed for a date just in his normal black attire. The people laughing as he realized his curcked wing was still out. “Damn it stupid thing” he grunted as he pulled it back into himself “sorry wings are a bit messed up” he said. The other girls found it funny and said how ugly he looked. He sighed and lead the way inside hoping she wouldn’t regret this meeting him he wasn’t just a theif but a disabled fallen angel. “Oh and I’m Rainer” he said. elysia wilts
she smiled and nodded at his explanation. honestly she had only signed up because her friends were doing it to. though they had neglected to tell her that they decided against it in the end. so she was the only one that had signed up. she wasn't going to be rude and not show up."don't think of it as a date then. think of it as just hanging out."she suggested.
"it's alright. you're not hurt are you?"she asked with a look of concern on her face. perhaps something had happened along the way.
once he started to move further inside elysia was quick to follow."nice to meet you rainer."she said as she caught up to him. she was glad he started moving forward as she was unsure as to where to go or what they should do first.
“If your wondering about my wings yes that hurt but I’m fine, you see I was a kid on the streets that even an orphanage left behind I was teased cause my mom was an angle my dad wasn’t so I was born with black wings one day the kids decided to take a knife to my wings and we’ll they healed but they grew back all crucked. Not even sure they could be healed now” he said. “Anyways cause of that sometimes they get stuck and I have to force them into my skin it hurts like hell at first but then it goes away” he said. “Hope it’s not a problem that I’m a fallen angel, did you want to dance drink I don’t really know what to do to be honest “ as he stole some rich persons wallet as he walked by. “Oh and I should mention I steal from rich people” he said.
she shook head head quickly."no, i mean i don't mean to to pry, but if you are hurt maybe we should go get you some help."she explained. though it seemed that these wounds were old. she nodded as he explained."oh, i'm sorry to hear that."she told him sincerely.
how cruel kids could be. though really it didn't matter at what age, people were just cruel in general. she smiled sadly and shook her head."no, that doesn't matter to me. my mother is also angel, my father is not."she told him with a nod. it didn't matter to her what race one was, so long as they were nice. she shook her head."ah, i don't drink, but don't let that stop you. my dancing skills are limited, but i wouldn't mind dancing to one song."she told him with a small laugh.
she moved so she was standing in front of him."look i understand you must do what you must to survive, but not here. i don't want you to get in trouble."who was she to judge him? not everyone had the same opportunities. she just honestly didn't want either of them to get in trouble.
“Don’t worry about me I’m not worth worrying about” he smiled as a slow song came on and he held out his hand to her he was too proud thought to ask but in his eyes they seemed like they were asking for a dance. He was slowly slightly blushing although he tried not to notice it. He then after taking her hand well his grip was so gentle as he would dance to the slow dance he was actually pretty good at it. Although he didn’t Belelieve that she could like him. Not the way a lot of people love each other. elysia wilts
she sighed softly after hearing his words. she didn’t agree with him, everyone mattered and as long as she was around him she was going to be concerned. it was just in her nature.”you might think that, but i’m still going to worry if you are doing things that make me worry.”she told him with a nod. maybe she should of kept quiet? she didn’t want to offend him in anyway. though she didn’t linger on that thought too much."sorry..."
he had stretched his hand out towards her. she stared at it for a few seconds before remembering that she had told him she wanted to dance at least one song. she wasn’t the best at dancing, but she did alright. she at least managed to keep her feet on the floor and not step on her partners feet. she quickly took his hand and they started to move along with the slow paced music."you're a really good dancer."
He waved his hand "dont worry about it nothing you can do would make me mad" he said. He ment that in a way that wouldnt get upset with her but it came out more stuck up. As she took his hand and the slow music started he was glad she wasnt stepping on his feet. However he was suprised she had said he was good at dancing. He never really thought of that as a talent. He always thought he was to buff built to actually be considered good at dancing. In his mind he thanked her for her kind words but when he went to say thank you all that came out was "Really? cause this is the first time i have done this" he said.
she smiled and nodded glad to know that she hadn't offended him in anyway. she was usually careful with the way she spoke. she didn't like making people feel uncomfortable. she laughed softly as they danced."really? well i guess you're a natural."she said with a nod after he mentioned that he hadn't danced before."i think it's all about moving in time to the song and i think we are doing good."then again she didn't really know how to dance either. their movements felt smooth and didn't seem out of place."so if dancing isn't something you do. what's something you do for fun?"she asked as she kept the conversation going.
