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.

Since moving to Lorsette, Vylad and his family depended heavily on his uncle’s excellent financial situation despite the criminal work the young man accomplished. They were a rather poor family because of his father’s absence, leaving the single mother and his grandparents to assist with raising the kids and earning the wealth. However, moving here and working beneath his uncle made the man more inclined to assist his sister with raising Vylad and his brother. Thus, the young man’s infatuation with criminal affairs remained considering for years it assisted his family in surviving their ill-favoured circumstances.
While all these horrible activities were accomplished for the purpose of helping his family, the young dragon oftentimes attempted to avoid his mother and sibling. They preached about their beliefs, his brother arguing that crime was an improper way to earn money and his mother constantly pleading for her sons to spend time together and become close again. There was a comfort when the redhead snuggling him, Vylad’s body relaxing as his green eyes slowly gazed at Evelyn.
A small smile touched his face when his girlfriend whispered about taking the kitten home. When the question was added, a cunning grin touched the dragon's face as he leaned slightly closer.
“I will… but first,” he whispered back.
Slowly, Vylad’s hand released Evelyn’s reached to caress the redhead’s face affectionately, his thumb rubbing her cheek. There was a pause before he leaned in, softly kissing her lips, although, he did not linger long. After a few moments, he pulled away, happily staring at his beautiful girlfriend; the story would arrive soon, but he wished to be mesmerized by his beautiful date.

Evelyn had asked her question, feeling herself breathing slightly faster when he had leaned closer to her. She blushed when he said but first, implying he had something else planned, which had been proven upon his thumb caress her cheek before leaning in to kiss her. She kissed back briefly, finding herself drawn into the kiss, saddened when it had come to an end. Of course it was washed away when he stared at her like that, his dreaming eyes, finding only her worthy of staring at. Her heart thumped in her chest as she savored their time together. It didn't seem that long ago when I first laid my eyes upon you. I knew we'd be the best of friends but then I found myself wanting you all to myself, going to great lengths to get it. Such as stealing from you as you had my heart.
My heart will only ever belong to you. She thought to herself, staring back at him with a small grin on her face. "Does our time together really have to end?" She playfully pouted, since his uncle had bothered coming in here desiring him for work. Of course he'd first have to provide the cat question, she was still interested to know how they came upon her when she was in fact the one taking her home. "Let me guess, you found her just for me?" She whispered, teasing playfully as she pressed closer to him to snuggle more. "What shall we call her?" She whispered, curious on a name they could come up with together.
A pleasant warmth was shared between their lips, which elevated Vylad's heart rate as he kissed his beloved girlfriend. Every second was filled with immense joy, the close proximity manifesting comfort for the dragon as he physically displayed his affection for Evelyn. The plush softness of her lips brushing against his while his calloused hand unconsciously rubbed her cheek in a soothing motion throughout the duration. The reciprocation of the kiss made Vylad's heart beat wildly in joy, the man evident pleased with their brief kiss.
Unfortunately, incredible moments were required to end, Vylad slowly pulling away from Evelyn's lips. The slightest hue of red graced his cheeks, making it evident to an observant individual that he had been blushing. A broad smile traced his lips as he noticed the red painted across Evelyn's face. The redhead looked absolutely adorable when she was blushing, thus the sight resulted in the brunette's heart rapidly beating in response. Admittedly, the criminal was clueless how fortune allowed him to meet this marvellous woman who brought daily joy.
The playful pouting accompanied by a question made a laugh rise from the depths of Vylad's chest. Promptly, he started rubbing her cheek again, his endearment towards Evelyn being endless.
"I wish it never did," he flirted. "Then I could kiss you forever."
After a few moments, the dragon lowered his hand, settling it beside the snoozing kitten who appeared unperturbed by their brief kiss. The question resulted in another chuckle leaving Vylad's mouth as he smiled broadly at his girlfriend.
"I found her while I was working. She seemed pretty friendly, so I picked her up and took her home," he explained.
During a transaction, the criminal had heard mewling from the streets. Thus, after providing the individual with the goods he purchased off of him, Vylad had retreated to the open streets, discovering the small kitten huddled near the trash. Surprised, the dragon had watched the tiny kitten for a few moments before kneeling down to take it home. The friendly little creature was thankful when she received food, water and a proper bath to remove the excessive filth from her pelt. The idea of a name resulted in Vylad raising a brow in thought.
"Good question... I haven't thought of a name for her," Vylad responded.
Thoughts were swirling, several names befitting a cat flitting through his mind, however, few stuck out. Names were important, thus Vylad wished to decide on the perfect name for the adorable kitten.
Evelyn melted when Vylad rubbed her cheek after she gave a playful pout and asked her question. She blushed more when he admitted that he would be able to kiss her forever if their time wasn't limited. Her heart started beating faster as she felt flustered. She listened as he explained how he had come across the kitten. "I see." She answered, snuggling him more. She then proceeded to ask what they should name her, it seemed as if Vylad hadn't thought of a name for her yet either. The struggle was so hard. Slowly she picked the kitten up, examining her as she pondered possible names. "She is just so pretty, she deserves an adorable name to go along with her." She answered, pulling out her phone she googled some possible names, "Maybe Luna, Chloe, Bella... Ohhhhh I like Lucy... Lily is cute, as is Sophie, Lola or Zoe.... Hmmmm Cleo and last but not least Nala... What do you think Vylad?" She wanted him to join in picking a name. She would then set her phone down before proceeding to snuggle the cute kitten, who likely wasn't pleased that once more she was forced to be up instead of sleeping.
Happiness was endless as Vylad remained close to his girlfriend, pondering names for their kitten. The sweet little cat required a proper name, but the dragon was uncertain about what they should name her. When snuggled, the brunette smiled and reciprocated, Vylad finding comfort as they began trying to pick a name for their pet. Briefly, the criminal glanced down towards the black bundle of fur, his fingers softly scratching the kitten's back, nodding when Evelyn complimented her.
Eventually, his girlfriend fetched out her phone, Vylad leading closer to watch the screen. Quietly, the dragon watched Evelyn type into the search engine to find a list of names for cats. A broad smile stretched across the criminal's face as he waited to view the search results. A website was opened, Vylad listening attentively to the name suggestions his girlfriend read off of the screen. The further they scrolled, the more options became available, the dragon glancing over the short list of names people stated were suitable for cats.
"I think those are all cute," he answered with a smile. "I like Pepper and Vesper. Nala reminds me of Simba's wife in the Lion King."
There was a smile on Vylad's face as Evelyn began snuggling the adorable kitten. A quiet mewl escaping the creature because she was disturbed from her slumber again. Softly, the dragon laughed as he snuggled his girlfriend more, evidently enjoying their time together.

Evelyn had pulled out her phone and typed into the search engine for possible names for cats. She found a list and held the phone for them to look over the list as she read a few possible names. She proceeded to scroll, finding a few more names that sounded cute for their kitten. She smiled when Vylad said that he thought the names were all cute before making name suggestions and his comment about the Lion King. "I agree about Pepper and Vesper being adorable too." She answered, snuggling him some more. "Now I want to watch that movie with you instead of letting you go....." She playfully pouts, enjoying their time together. She snuggled the kitten, finding her adorable as she meowed at them. She snuggled Vylad once more, "How about Vesper?" She asked, lowering the kitten back onto her lap so that she could curl back into a ball if she wanted. "Also you mentioned buying some supplies for her, could you help me get it home or are you busy right now?" She asked, not wishing to let him go but as soon as he was finished with work, she'd gladly keep him company, so being parted for a short while would be alright, so long as he came back to her sooner rather than later.
Pondering names for the newest addition of their small family; these wonders were an incredible experience. There was something special about deciding names with Evelyn, however, it became probable the reason was simply that she was his girlfriend. A single arm remained wrapped around the redhead, Vylad discovering a pleasant sense of comfort lingering in the air from their close proximity. Heaven, it was truly how the dragon felt whenever he spent any amount of time with Evelyn.
A smile was evident on his girlfriend’s lips, the infectious grin resulting in Vylad reciprocating the expression. There was an immense love shared between the couple, the pair dated for a long period of time. Anybody could notice their relationship was beyond serious, especially with the extensive amount of time they spent together. They inevitably had their rough patches, but together they would traverse the hardest obstacles to proceed with their relationship. As the two additional options were stated by Evelyn, Vylad leaned closer to snuggle the redhead.
Affectionate snuggling became natural, the dragon grinning throughout the entirety of their decision making; he adored Evelyn. A gentle laugh escaped Vylad’s lips when he noticed his girlfriend playfully pouting at him.
“We can watch it after we pick a name for her. My uncle has a bunch of movies downstairs,” Vylad offered.
There was a natural smoothness to his voice when he offered a dating activity. Years of being Evelyn’s boyfriend had built a sense of comfort in their relationship. Whenever the dragon’s idiocy became evident around her, Vylad found himself still at ease.

Evelyn's playful pout remained on her face, slowly forming into a smile when he offered to watch it after picking a name for their kitty cat. Though she was sure it was likely on accident, possibly with a lot on his mind, he hadn't answered her question so she saw no harm in repeating it. "How about Vesper, honey?" She asked, liking the name because it suited her kitty very well, though so did the other names. Plus as soon as they had a name picked out the sooner she could watch the Lion King with him. Once they settled on a name she snuggled Vylad some more. "Want to see it right now?" She whispered, teasing him playfully before slowly standing from the couch with their kitty in her arms.
Though she had requested help with the kitty's supplies, she wasn't in a rush to depart from Vylad just yet and just like always, she was curious on how long they could remain together before his uncle came back to fetch him once more. She wrapped her arm around his, planning on following him down stairs, still carefully holding the kitty against her chest with her other hand. As for the arm that she had attempted to wrap around his, she would further attempt to take his hand in her own. She always enjoyed having closeness.
A broad smile remained evident on Vylad's face as he spent more time with his girlfriend, Evelyn. Affection was obvious between them, the dragon staying close to his beautiful redhead. Everything about her contained a spectacular quality, manifesting an overwhelming sense of happiness. Quietly, the brunette snuggled his girlfriend, listening to Evelyn speak to Vesper.
A small mewl escaped the kitten's seemingly more interested in attempting to sleep instead of being informed of her new name, however, Vylad gave a small nod in response. There was a progression in their relationship, manifesting a sense of comfort alongside beliefs that he and Evelyn would be together forever. They were deeply in love, their overwhelming romantic feelings for one another was an incredible notion. The increased snuggles broadened the lip-tight smile evident on the criminal's face, the man returning those affectionate snuggles. As the snuggles proceeded, Vylad held his girlfriend close, deciding to spend as much time as possible with Evelyn.
There was a soft chuckle escaped Vylad's mouth from his girlfriend's words. "I'll take that gamble."
Afterwards, the dragon rose from the couch, offering an arm for Evelyn to wrap her arms around her's. Once his girlfriend was close, Vylad began leading his girlfriend downstairs to watch the movie together. The closeness was incredible, the criminal's heart thumping inside his chest while he descended the stairs with his lover. The comfy leather couches and large television were a luxurious sight for any movie lover. Once they arrived, Vylad walked towards the endless shelves of movies, grabbing The Lion King from the shelf
With the movie in his hands, he returned to the DVD player and popped it inside. The remote was plucked from the table, Vylad turning everything on before getting the movie to play. When finished, he moved to the couch to snuggle his girlfriend and watch the movie with her.
TAGS: @evelyn --- WORDS: 303 --- NOTES: something here
Evelyn was pleased when Vylad nodded, proving the name was just fine. "Alright." She whispered, having stood up, she waited for him to join her before snuggling his arm. She walked with him down stairs before taking a seat on the couch as she watched him walk over to the shelf to grab the movie, pop it into the dvd player before picking up the remote. She smiled when as she watched him setting it up before pressing play before taking a seat next to her, she would proceed to adjust herself so that she'd be able to snuggle him as she held her kitten in her arms. They watched the movie together, but just like all good things, they had to come to an end. In this case, when the sound of footsteps were heard near the stairs. She had a pretty good idea of who it was too, since he had requested for Vylad, meaning their time was supposed to be cut short. Now that just left her taking the kitten's stuff home, as soon as she saw the man standing before them. I didn't mean to get him into trouble, Vylad is the best. She thought to herself, remaining quiet.
Comfortable couch cushions embraced Vylad's body as he sat down beside Evelyn to watch their chosen movie. He snuggled into the depths of the leather before wrapping an arm around girlfriend's waist, pulling her closer to him. The warmth shared between them brought an overwhelming sense of comfort for the dragon. Snuggles ensued hastily, Vylad maintaining the affectionate closeness shared between the couple.
Displayed on the screen was The Lion King, the incredible movie being featured in several childhoods. Throughout the movie they snuggled, the dragon enjoying his time with Evelyn despite the silence between them. There was a therapeutic sensation about the redhead’s presence which assisted in maintaining a smile on Vylad’s face. For years, his girlfriend had supported and cared immensely for him, even going lengths to assure he remained healthy.
The rough move to Lorsette was viewed as meddlesome by the dragon. His older brother merely desired to leave his lucrative job; he was capable of continuing It fortune. However, Vylad found Evelyn and discovered somebody who made him feel important. The endless support, kind words and romantic pleasures assisted in the transition to a new high school and city. Eventually, he had settled comfortably in Lorsette because of Evelyn’s presence; she brought endless happiness to him.
The subtle creaks of the staircase cracked Vylad’s smile as it faltered into a frown. Descending the stairs was his uncle, a stern expression, eyes narrowed to make his anger evident. He crossed his arms as he regarded Vylad, the young man stiffening slightly.
“Get to work NOW! He exclaimed before turning to head back upstairs.
The frown proceeded to touch Vylad’s features, a soft sigh escaping his lips. He was genuinely hoping to increase his time his Evelyn.
“Want to come with me? If you keep a hood up in the car you’ll be fine,” Vylad asked.
Shortening his time with Evelyn was impossible, the well-known risk-taker deciding intertwine his girlfriend time while dropping off orders. Furthermore, it would provide the opportunity to take Evelyn home himself.

Evelyn flinched when Vylad's uncle yelled at him. She listened to the footsteps as he went back upstairs, likely remaining angry until Vylad left for work. "I'd love to come with you but I don't have a hoodie." She whispered, snuggling him more. "Will you share with me?" She whispered playfully, loving nothing more than sharing his clothes with him. "Ohhhhhh and if I can come, can i also sneak her stuff into the car so that I don't have to carry it all home?" She whispered, knowing that what his uncle didn't know, wouldn't kill him. It wasn't like she was about to judge the line of work they did, I mean she stole for a living. Slowly she stood up from the couch, preparing to walk with Vylad up the stairs so that she could get the kitten's stuff to load into the car. If there was one thing she enjoyed about being with Vylad, it was being with him, parting ways was acceptable unless both of them agreed to it. Though she was desiring to never part ways from him.
Shortening the amount of time he could spend with Evelyn was impossible for Vylad, especially considering how much he adored her. The beautiful and sweet woman meant everything to the dragon, thus, despite his occupational duties, he desired to take her home. Those spare moments where they could lovingly speak to one another, thus a pleasant drive together sounded marvellous. When Evelyn inquired about borrowing a hoodie, Vylad nodded, proceeding to do so when Evelyn mentioned getting Vesper's stuff.
Quickly, Vylad turned to head upstairs, grabbing a navy coloured sweater, before returning to Evelyn to hand it to her. Inside his chest, the dragon's heart began to beat rapidly, the young man excited to see his attractive girlfriend in his hoodie. Afterwards, the brunette started gathering Vesper's items, sneakily packing them way into the car. Once everything was packed into the back of the hard, Vylad led the redhead to the passenger's seat, opening the door for her. When his girlfriend was inside, he moved to the driver's side and prepared to drive the beautiful woman home.
