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!
you're the most beautiful animal i've ever seen. here amidst the softly falling snow.

rendon had been so focused on healing Josuah and the strange sensations that came with the power, that he hadn't immediately noticed when he had begun to move. It was only the sensation of the boy turning around that caused Brendon to open his eyes, and to Brendon's complete shock, Josuah leaned forward and pressed his mouth against his own. Alarm jolted through his system — a-along with Josuah’s energy — and Brendon's heart took off within his chest. Their lips... w-were pressed together —!
The intense shock of it all caused him to stumbled back, only to misstep and fall onto the floor. He had never felt more flustered or embarrassed before in his entire life...! “Wh-Wha…!” He stumbled over even his words and brought one of his hands to cover his mouth, feeling completely and utterly frazzled.
Their connection was brief, but it still helped aid the restless feeling that had suddenly flourished inside of him. He had felt the warmth of his essence entering his master which had been an accidental gift. He had forgotten that it was within his power to give the boy his energy. Josuah had never wanted to be someone's familiar...but with Brendon...those feelings seemed to vanish.
However, the sensation was short lived and the consequence...
His features strained as his heart clenched unpleasantly when his master jerked away so abruptly he fell onto the floor. He hadn't been able to catch him...but it was unlikely Brendon wanted to be caught after what he had done.
The sight of his master sitting on his backside, staring up at him and with a hand covering his mouth would have been cute if... he had more confidence. But he wasn't confident in himself...or what he had done and that caused him to quickly look away. It was exposing to have kissed him and be given such a reaction in return. The more he thought about it the further into despair he fell and that caused him to try and escape it. He rose from where he had been seated and moved away from Brendon.
"You...You can't heal me any more," he commanded loudly. He...he wanted to change...to go back to being a wolf where he felt like he had more power and control over himself!
Inside he felt the sting of jealousy...that the boy hadn't been more accepting of his kiss...but such thoughts only made his heart pound heavier. A sound of frustration left him that resembled more of an animal rather then the young adult he was, but he couldn't concentrate...he could only pace to try an expel some of his aggravation.

o Brendon's complete surprise and bafflement, Josuah removed himself from the seat and proceeded to storm off. “You… You can’t heal me any more,” His familiar decided moodily as he disappeared behind a wall divider that had been set up to give the vanity area privacy. Brendon immediately balked in retaliation, his face turning red.
“What!” He argued and then scrambled to pick himself up. Rushing around the partition, he gave chase after his wolf. “I can heal you all I want!”
Joshua's heart leap when Brendon's voice penetrated the confinements of the bedroom and his...lack of embarrassment surprised the young wolf. He whirled around as Brendon stormed headlong towards him and stated rather incredulously that he could heal him whenever he wanted.
The thought of...feeling his healing powers again instantly filled him with alarm and his gaze broke away from the boy to try and find a means of escape.
"I...I don't want anything else from you," he told him desperately as he moved away from him in an attempt to avoid any contact. His heart was still pounding and his thoughts from before began to resurface and taunt him. His kiss had been unconscious...but he had liked it because...for a moment he foolishly believed it meant Brendon wouldn't he able to forget him. He felt insecure with his future because of the betrayal he had suffered from with his parents. But that wasn't how he wanted to be...fearful and reliant on someone else!
"I take care of myself," he snapped aggressively as his thoughts overflowed into words. But he didn't hesitate with what he was saying because he was aggravated. Everything made more sense when he was in the wild. The human world was complex and the surplus of emotions were difficult for him to handle. Even now he could feel the lingering effect of his master's healing... as it gripped him with an invisible hold that made him feel warm.
What was real? And what was just the contract? He couldn't decipher either of them!

“
I… I don’t want anything else from you,” Josuah insisted and tried to actually avoid him, moving away to venture around the room. However, lucky for him, his bedroom wasn’t too big, so Josuah couldn't get away! But, that didn't stop him from retaliating; “I take care of myself.”
“I want a leash!” Brendon decided huffily, blurting the comment out in a command. “That way you can never get away — ever!”
Josuah halted his movement when Brendon had the audacity to tell him that he wanted a leash! His heart skipped a beat at the insinuation of being leashed...and he knew it was wrong, but he wanted it. He wanted his master to make it so that they could never be apart. The thought was unstable and illogical...but he couldn't stop the feelings from swelling within his chest.
"Then leash me," he snapped back at him aggressively. "Find a way to make it so you can never replace me!"
The words had stumbled out before had time to filter them and despite the truth behind them his honesty only made him feel exposed and hurt. A leash wouldn't give him what he really wanted...it wouldn't fix his past or their future. Emerald eyes narrowed and lifted towards his master...as his features revealed the strain behind his reveal until he could take no more.
His teen self began to fade until nothing was left but the sharp golden fur of his large beast form. He poised himself within a sitting position and glared silently at the wall. They were just children arguing...about things they couldn't understand or have...

osuah halted his movement to look at him. “Then leash me,” He snapped aggressively. “Find a way to make it so you can never replace me!”
Brendon's cheeks had turned pink by this point, from annoyance! “I’ll make it so that whenever I say come here you’ll just be pulled over to me!” He retaliated and fumed, thinking back on how Josuah had been when they had first met as well as how he was being now. And then, to his surprise, and frustration, Josuah transformed back into his wolf familiar form, sat down on the ground, and faced away from him.
Brendon instantly stormed over and practically jumped on top of him, wrestling his larger beast form in clear frustration. Gripping one of Josuah’s ears within his hand, he bit down on the other with his mouth.
As expected from a child, Brendon didn't understand any of his feelings. He didn't want pet commands...he wanted security. His master didn't know what it was like to be betrayed...to lose everything and Josuah never wanted to experience that again. But it was hard to protect himself when he was getting attached to the boy even if he didn't want to. The feeling came naturally to him and that was why he so desperately wanted security...
His features hardened when he heard the boy storming over towards him, but he was caught completely off guard when Brendon jumped on top of him. His ears jerked upwards just as the soft warmth of Brendon's mouth clamped down over one and a low sound instantly escaped him.
The sensation was jarring and enough to caused him to change back into his human form until his charge was sitting atop him glowering. His cheeks were red from the sensation of being bit...and his heart was rapidly pounding since mere moments ago he had...he had kissed him.
But Brendon wasn't acting like any of that happened...he didn't understand him or what they were... He instead just felt lost and frustrated.

hen Josuah transformed from the wolf and back into his human self, the size difference was massive. A soft gasp escaped Brendon as he felt himself quite literally falling down on top of Josuah’s new and smaller size. When he came down on top of him, suddenly everything felt much more awkward. Previously, he had been wrestling his back but now Josuah had turned around and somehow the two of them were face-to-face and he was laying on top of him…!
“Why did you do that!” Brendon complained, red in the face. He scrambled to sit up and get off of Josuah, his heart thumping a little quicker than before. H... He hadn't expected it!
Josuah exhaled and tensed as he drew his hands upwards and stabilized Brendon as he fell onto him. The feeling of his master falling on him oddly gave him a rush...like he for a moment was in control. His charge became extremely embarrassed as he scolded him and wiggled about to try and get off him. But Josuah's hold lifted as he grasped onto his cheeks and forced him down into a kiss once more.
If he tried to pull away...he wouldn't let him. If he wanted to put a leash on him then Josuah would take something too! He had...already stolen Brendon's first kiss, but he would take more if he had to.
However, to his surprise he began unconsciously giving him his energy again!

osuah wouldn’t allow him to get up and instead grasped onto both of his cheeks with his hands. Brendon’s heart leapt within his chest as he was forcefully drawn down only for Josuah to firmly press his mouth against his. The shock and sensation, a-and reality of what Josuah had purposely done caused Brendon to cry out against his mouth. His heart took off and sudden strange feelings began to course through his body, mixing with a deep embarrassment.
Within it all Josuah’s energy, his essence, began to fill him, invading his body, pouring in from where their mouths were connected. Restlessness began to filter into Brendon, the sensations of Josuah's magic making him feel w-weird and jittery, and he began to squirm against his hold.
Brendon's lips parted against his own, as a muffled cry escaped him as he held him in place. The dominance he was displaying over his master gave him a rise...and despite his energy being given he still felt very strong. But the restlessness growing inside of Brendon mingled with his own and he had to part from his mouth...to try and catch his breath.
'If... I'm to have a leash...then you must given me everything,' he whispered intimately within his mind as he bit his lower lip and felt a deep heat coursing through him. He felt affectionate and wanted more...but he restrained himself and began sitting up whilst still keeping his master within his lap.

hen Josuah drew his lips from his own, Brendon's heart was pounding within his chest. He felt shaken by the intimacy o-of a kiss, and a light shudder parted from him while his body involuntarily trembled.
Josuah didn't seem to be phased at all, a-and very boldly filled his mind with his voice; ‘If… I’m to have a leash… then you must give me everything’. Brendon felt so… weird. He didn’t understand what these feelings were, but they made it hard to concentrate or react.
Josuah didn’t wait for his answer though, and just started picking them both back up. It was then that Brendon finally chose to act out, using both of his arms to grouchily shove at Josuah and push him back, and then quickly scrambled to get off his lap and stand up.
“I’ll have everything and more, a-and your leash too!” He declared heatedly, storming away to hide behind the divider wall, glowering down over the top of it, at Josuah, in mutiny.
Brendon didn't hesitate to push him backwards causing him to reach down and brace the ground for support. With his hands preoccupied Brendon used that chance to escape his grasp and immediately stood to his full height. He scolded him with rosy cheeks and then rushed off to hide from him.
Josuah was slow as he sat back up and then glanced around to spot the little head of his master peering out from behind the wall divider. He felt...affectionate himself and aggressive but he didn't chase after him.
He didn't quite understand his own feelings or actions. He knew that his parents loved each other and that was why they kissed, but he knew it wasn't that simple between him and his master. But he felt desperate to push himself into Brendon's life forcefully. If he had something like his first kiss then he'd never forget him...it was childish and selfish, but he didn't care. In the wild he could just take what he wanted without any rules, but within society there many restrictions.
Josuah drew up onto his knees and reached out over Brendon's bed, resting against it as he pouted and stared back at him with a frown. "Your first kiss is mine now," he told him assertively and refused to give it back...

rendon watched with suspicion and narrowed eyes as Josuah climbed onto his bed, stretched, and then glance toward him sullenly to speak out. “Your first kiss is mine now,” He taunted, and Brendon's feathers were ruffled, cheeks heightening in color as he stared at his familiar in rebellion!
“It was not!” He declared in heated retaliation. “It wasn’t a kiss! You — You’re not allowed to kiss me! It didn’t happen! My first kiss is still on my lips, even right now! I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
