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 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.

There were many things that annoyed Nicholas. Optimists. Clingy persons. Someone who is late for an appointment. Right now he was dealing with the last kind. Nearly an hour has passed since the agreed time and Nicholas was tapping his fingers on the side of his glass in a manner that could only be described as impatient. Only 20 minutes after the official meeting time he had changed from a non-alcoholic to an alcoholic drink. While talking about business he never drank alcohol. This switch was a sign that he will not accept this task. Letting him wait was a no go. Nicholas was no low criminal which needed every job. He could choose what job to take and which not to.
Right at the moment when he thought about leaving the table in the corner for a seat at the bar the door opened and a businessmen in a shabby suit entered. He walked directly to Nicholas’ table. The criminal already knew that this was his contact men. Always being informed with whom he is dealing was part of his job. The stuttered apology for being late was also no surprise. Nicholas quiet enjoyed the terrified look on the others face when their eyes met. The suit wearer knew he was dealing with the crimson demon of the underworld, but he didn’t expected to be greeted with a red shining pair of eyes. Nicholas has activated his abilities deliberately for a short moment. He burned the remains of his nearly empty glass and like every time he uses on of his abilities his eyes began to shine red. It was only for one second but it frightened the late comer visibly.
“You know what kind of people I really hate?” Nicholas asked in a calm voice, but his eyes sparked with anger. The businessmen shook his head panicked and Nicholas continued. “People who let me wait. It would have been better to not come instead of being late. Now hush. Run before I get angry for real.” Hasty the men left the bar, more stumbling than running. An amused smile lay on his lips as he walked through the room to the bar. The guy got what he deserved and finally Nicholas could start to enjoy his evening. No more thinking about this missed job opportunity. Nicholas didn’t bothered himself about the past or future. He lived in the present and just wants to enjoy it as much as possible. Only second later his usual drink was standing right in front of him. When the barkeeper knew what and when you wanted a drink you have visited a place much too often, but it was a practical place for him to conduct his business deals.
It had been a long day. His new position as Sergeant has proven to be an amazing yet challenging feat, one that he took in strides. For today, now that the sun had sunk below the horizon, Dominic found himself sitting at the bar of the Golden Crown. It was the usual spot for the elite TRS member to find himself in after hours. There was a glass of red wine in his hand, caressed on his fingertips as if it was a crystal ball that could reveal his future if he stared hard enough. It made him feel melancholy in a way. With a sigh, the tanned man brought the glass to his lips and allowed the dry-flavour to run over his tongue and down his throat.
"Delicious as always! Great choice." He finally declared to the waiting bar tender. When the person behind the counter smiled in satisfaction, they grabbed a container and poured some more wine into it, sliding the small wine pitcher over to the seated officer. Dom smiled in response and stuck more than enough money into the tip jar with a wink.
Dominic's eyes flicked to the entrance of the bar as a man in a cheap suit burst in and went straight to a private room. Curiously, Dom swivelled his chair around in order to watch the man disappear. His eyes lingered but he offered himself a shrug, rather unbothered by the business he could be here for. Instead, he ran his gold-brown eyes over the rest of the room. He touched the glass to his lips once more as he crossed a leg over the other in an act of making himself more effeminate. This was often the part where he would meet look for the interested eyes of another person who had the same desires as him. A single night of passion was always a wonderful stress reliever.
However, it seemed as if the meeting with the shabby dressed man was cut short. Now that is what he thought was interesting. Did he witness a drug deaL? Perhaps not with the way the man stumbled right out of there as if he couldn't get out fast enough. Most people from the bar, including himself, stared after him with confusion and curiosity. Shortly after, the door opened a second time. Dominic swirled the contents of his glass in circles as his eyes followed the dark-haired man. Soon the new comer was standing at the bar with a drink already prepared for him. The bartender was always on top of their game, weren't they?
Feeling sly, Dominic leaned towards the man and said with a smile playing on his lips, "Bad business deal?"
