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.

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.
And while you are sitting indoors waiting for the storm to pass I will be outside dancing in the rain

Koda looked at the crazy women in front of him. As one of his hands tried to remove this damn pole that had been plunged into his chest. But it did just not budge. The damn ward was doing it's job alright. He probably had the strength of a damn regular human right now. And with the force she had put into the pole. It had probably lodged its self into the wall and was not coming with any force he could exert. Mostly cause of the angle he was at. As he just looked at the two girls that she had already captured and tortured. He didn't feel sorry for them one bit. In fact he was the glad one of them was here. But to let them see this was just unforgivable. He looked to be at their level now with this stunt Min was pulling. His greatest threat was the fact of how strong he was and how fast he could heal his wounds. That was tossed out the window now. If they survived this ordeal. They would surly say things to the other vampire sects. All the one's Koda has fucked with would look for revenge now. This was not good.
As Min grabbed a steel pitcher from the table and walked over to the one she had stabbed to collect the blood. As she then walked over to him as she grabbed the pole and started to make small movements with it as she got closer and closer. The pain was outstanding. Probably the worst he has felt. But he kept a straight face. Until she got to him dropping a knife that was in her hand and grabbed the hand that was on the pole and pinning it to the wall. As she brought the pitcher to his mouth. As she spoke saying how she already knew how he hated her. As she started to tilt the pitcher of the blood. Koda did not open his mouth what so ever and let the blood pour and trickle down his face and body. As he just stared at her all the while. Until the pitcher of blood was either on the floor or still dripping off of him.
Koda keeping his eyes trained on the crazed girl as she spoke again but almost loosing everything about her. As he looked at Ayumi as a gaping hole was being opened into her chest. As the wound around the pole closed stopping the bleeding. As he glanced down then back at Min with his red eyes. Koda looked down at his chest then back at Min as she was staring at him. As he grabbed the pole again and started to move it around opening the wound again. As he winced in quite a bit of pain. He just stared at Min. "If it's going to be like this. I'm fine with dying. I have lived long enough." he paused as he coughed up some blood. As it started to mix in with the blood that was already stained on his chin. "I never wanted to be a vampire or be immortal. My life was taken a long time ago. Since then I have never been so close to death. So if this my chance I'm going to seize it." he paused as he proceeded to keep moving the pole to open the wound more. "I've lived long enough." he lastly said as he just kept staring at Min without much emotion showing.
Maybe this was a ploy to see if she would do something else or let him die in front of her. Or maybe he was betting on her helping him by taking the pole out of his chest to fully heal the wound? Who knows but he had to be drastic enough to get a response out of the crazed girl. Or maybe he did actually want to die. The only reason he slept with some many women and tortured innocent people was because the 900 years he has lived, were hell. He started to feel less and less with each passing century. So the only way he could feel anything was fucking some girl or killing. That was the only way to make him feel anything. So maybe Min was doing him a favor in bringing him this close to death to let him finish what she had started.
The pitcher of blood which Min so sloppily poured onto Koda's face had all but cascaded down the surface of his shut lips, down towards his sluggish feet. In her trance-like stupor, it appears as though Min has not paid much heed to Koda's refusal of her aid until her now aching lungs prompted her to halt the excessive laughing. Her wide eyes curiously gazed at her beloved Koda as he attempted to unpin himself from the steel pole. In a split second, Min's grinning face shifted to that of an ambiguously neutral expression. She just as quickly composed herself and turned her head sideways in sincere curiosity, pondering the implications behind Koda's refusal to drink the blood and his futile struggling. In the meanwhile, bouts of twitching continued affecting her head and both her arms trembled in a rather noticeable manner. Deep down, she was aware of the likeliness that Koda was likely doing so out of defiance.
The loud static reverberating within her head resurfaced as her beloved Koda began admitting his desire to die. Before Koda even managed to finish his sentence, the static had already overwhelmed Min's senses and her neutral expression slowly turned to a most menacing scowl. Before long, she stared in horror as Koda's hands tightly clutched the pole penetrating his chest and struggled to wedge his own wound open. Min's teeth grinded against each other with such vigor that it chipped fragments of her molars. This was... not at all what she had expected... this is... not what she wanted, far from it...
"지랄하네, 지랄하네, 지랄하네!" Min began repeatedly exclaiming as she clenched her fist and slowly strolled closer to the suicidal Koda. "아, 씨발... 그만해요... (Ah shit... stop that...)" Min nervously declared in an increasingly shaky voice as she approached as still struggling Koda. In a fit of rage, she grabbed both Koda's shoulders and forcefully pushed him back against the wall, an act which inadvertently worsened his chest wound. "왜 날 사랑안해!? (WHY WON'T YOU LOVE ME?!)" she screamed as almost all reason seemed to escape her. With her clenched fist, she struck the side of Koda's face with her left hand... then with her right... and left... This went on for a some seconds as harrowing images flashed before her; of the people who used her, who threw her away, over and over, the same fucking outcome... "Why... hate me?" She softly uttered in English as she finally ceased with her blows, tear now visibly streaming down her bewildered face.
Immediately following Min's bout of unfiltered rage, the gaping hole in the vampire's chest would then close once again. Ayumi's eyes and mouth widened as the bloody, gaping hole was transmitted towards her in Koda's stead. Min immediately removed herself from Koda's near vicinity and wiped her tears with her bloodied and sweat-ridden arms, taking this time to regulate her own breathing as well. She tried repeatedly telling herself that episodes such as this should be normal to her by now. She sniffed her worries away and attempted to focus on what truly mattered; restraining Koda before he leaves her just like everyone else. She fumblingly picked up the carving knife on the floor and promptly grabbed Koda's right hand, pinning it by the wall. Afterwards, she suddenly jammed the knife through his palm, effectively pinning it in place. "Min... is not the best girl..." She declared in what little grasp of English she has left in her slow brain. She hastily scrambled towards the table where another bloody combat knife was located and immediately grabbed it, stumbling towards the table in the process. "I know... Min is... a bad girl..." she continued before quickly approaching Koda's left side, attempting to avoid any and all eye contact with him.
With much fervor, she snatched Koda's left arm and in a similar fashion to what Min had done to his right, she thrust the military knife through his palm such that it is now secured to the wall as well. The vampire was now effectively in a spread eagle position, though Min remained unsure as to whether or not this approach would even be sufficient in preventing him from from killing himself. "Tried everything... for you, why... hate me so much?" as much as she knew the answer, she readily denied it. She feigned ignorance as to why Koda could possibly hate her so much to the point of making him commit suicide just to free himself from her. "Don't leave me, don't... leave Min, no no no NO NOOOO!" she frantically asserted before walking away from Koda and standing in the middle of the room.
She briefly eyes both Ayumi and Mara, both of whom were probably dead or at least barely alive, she couldn't be bothered to care at this point. Then, she steeled herself, and feasted her eyes on what she had done to Koda. Gulping and forcing a fake grin, she said in Japanese, "I'm very.... very sorry, Min has been such a bad girl hasn't she?" Having reached this point, Min honestly had no idea what to do next. Seeing Koda in be put in such a state by her own hands was torture in its most cruel form... and as hard as it was to believe, she was actually having fun. This is... what a wretched worm like her deserves after all, this... overpowering heartache which threatened to swallow every fiber of her being. "I still love you Koda, please know that... even if.... even if...." the tears won't stop flowing. In mere seconds, the undertones of suffering became obvious on her grinning face, dampened with the sheer amount of tears flowing from her eyes.
All along, it's always been her fault that people hate her hasn't it?

If it wasn't for that damn little statue, Koda would have freed himself long ago. But the only way to really free himself was to harm himself even more. He assumed Min was doing this because of his tendencies to go out late and night to screw around. And it doesn't help the fact that Koda is one fucked person only feeling joy when he is killing someone or fucking any woman. So in all reality this is probably his fault, he most likely drew her mad, along with knowing she wasn't quite right in the head all come back to bite him in the ass. But what else could he do? She wouldn't listen to him or anything. Plus he hated being a vampire sometimes. He did love all the abilities he has. But the downside. Living forever. After the first couple hundred years. He started to go dull. Living forever is more of a curse than anything. So if he was going to die, then he much rather die by Min's doing than some TRS shithead or someone else.
He looked up to see Min freaking out. Before she started to approach. His whole body throbbing in pain more and more. Until he felt her hands on his shoulders forcing him further towards the wall, making the pole slide through his body further. Just as he was about to say something. A fist struck his then another and another. Had she finally lost it? She seemed mostly in control of her action before. But was Koda's desire to die too much for her to handle? His eyes losing a bit focus. Huh he hasn't felt the effect of being a little concussed in a long time. As his vision blurred a bit more now that she stopped and his brain had a chance to process the damage. As he attempted to regain focus, he felt the wound on his chest again close. It was an odd feeling to be sure. The body was still in shock thinking that it is dying and trying to save it's self. But the wound gone. So the adrenaline was still pumping beyond belief but for no reason now.
Koda was a bit to distracted to see whom his wounds went to next. As he just stared at Min. Not saying anything or trying anything. What was the point now? He could keep doing this over and over and get no where. Or until MIn got exhausted from using the spell over and over. But how long would that take? As he watched her lean over and pick up the knife that was on the ground as she pryed his hand from the pole and slammed into the wall before shoving the knife through his palm and into the wall. Well so much for that plan. As he watched as he watched her scramble to the table to grab another knife. He was listing to what she was saying but ignoring it all. What point was there in trying to talk to the girl. She was in her own world now. And nothing would probably return her. Even though he did enjoy this Min a lot more. Just not pointing all the rage and crazy at him. If he was here when she torturing the two fuckers, that weren't moving at all anymore, he most likely would have been pretty turned on.
As she did the same thing to his right hand with now his left. He became effectively a non threat now. He couldn't use his hands now. Not to mention even pull his hands through the knifes because of the damn statue that was making him more or less human. So his strength was gone, healing gone, senses gone. He was just a guy at the moment. As she went on again about why he hated her so much and not to leave her. But he didn't actually. It was just a choice he made in the moment to die by her hands. But it seems like with her crazed moment she didn't think of it like that. Not that Koda could blame her.
Koda looked at the crazed girl before looking at himself then back at her. She seemed to be suffering more than he was. By the look on her face. Despite the grin she just forced, tears started to flow down her face non stop, like she couldn't control them. As his red eyes just stared at her. "Min look at me." he said softly. As he sighed before taking a breath. Which hurt because he has a rod shoved through his chest. "I don't hate you, nor would I ever get rid of you." he paused for a second as he looked passed her at the two bodies. "I've lived for nearly a thousand years. After the first couple hundred years. I felt nothing. The only thing that brought me joy or to be able to feel anything was killing and fucking." he said as he red eyes almost peered through her. "So I am sorry if my way of living has hurt you by any means. But in almost 900 hundred years, my cold dead heart skip a beat that night when you went mad against the TRS. It was cause of you." he sighed a bit having to admit this. He hated sharing his feelings but at this point there was no real options left.
"I wasn't trying to kill myself to free myself from you. I just thought if I was this close to death. Might as well be from the women I actually care about than some random fuck head." he continued on as he tried to shift in place but pain spread through every nerve of his body. "Plus I never planned to throw you out, leave you, or anything. I may cheat on you here and there. But I've lived that way for over 800 years. I'll try to get better. But that only happens if you release me, and trust me. But one thing is for certain. I will never throw you away, and you will be by side forever." he finally finished as he just looked at the tortured Min. Well now he said it. Hopefully she actually believes him. There was no lying in his voice or the words he chose. This was the truth straight from his mouth.
