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.

Failure to post on this AC will result in your accounts being marked inactive or deleted.

A blush crossed Michael's face at Akira's comment on him sounding like a stalker. "Hey! I'm not a stalker! I...I really didn't mean it to sound like that!" He raised a hand to press it against his face, shaking his head a little. Gods, he was an idiot. Though he lowered his hand away from his face as he listened to how the brunette explained that he would be fine on his own for a bit, maybe. Though also the fact that anyone the brunette cared about seemed to make his darker half weaker. "That...sounds...interesting yet odd at the same time. Won't say I understand in the slightest bit but I'll try."
He paused as he looked him over for a few moments before he munched on another chip in thought. "Hey, do you wanna try watching a show together?" He asked suddenly, tilting his head to the side a little. "Random, I know but...figured maybe...I...I'm not sure but..." He trailed off, shaking his head as he raised a hand to rub the back of his neck a little. "We, uh...don't have to."
Prepare the diving bell It's time to take this low I sink into myself, low No need for farewell
It was really starting to dawn on him that Michael had come over to spend time with him and that he wasn't here to wait for Ian, even though he had been told this already multiple times, he supposed that he hadn't believed it. "Uhh... Wh-what kind of show?" Of course he had the ability to turn on a multitude of streaming apps from his gaming console, but he wasn't sure what kinds of things the blonde might have in mind, after all, they barely knew each other, so was this even right? But it wasn't like he was here for things like that. He just wanted to hang out, get to know him better for some reason. That was all it was, a friendly gesture. "S-sure."
The brunette stood and made his way to the couch, picking up the controller and turning everything on. "I don't really have a preference, but I'm not really a fan of reality tv." Well, he supposed that was a preference after all, but it wasn't his fault. That was more of a Kyou thing. He sat down and flipped to the different streaming apps and randomly picked one, scrolling through what they had available, but nothing was really catching his eye, so he held out the controller to the other male. "Here, y-you pick something."
Michael raised a hand to rub the back of his neck as he was asked as to what kind of shows he'd like to watch. "Oh, uh...I usually watch an array of things... Back in London I'd watch some horror movies with someone since...yeah." He spoke up, following the brunette over to the couch. As he listened to his words on not really having a preference, aside from reality shows, he smiled a little and nodded. He sat down on the couch and shifted a little as he glanced down at his shoes. Ah...better to keep them on for now. He didn't want to make himself too comfortable in the brunette's home.
He turned his attention over to the brunette as he was handed the controller, smiling at him as he reached out and accepted it from him. "I'll try to find something that'll be good enough for the both of us." He spoke up, scanning his icy blue eyes over his face before he turned his attention over to the television to see what he could pick for them to watch. He honestly wasn't sure what he could pick for them to watch. Well fuck.
He was rather uncertain about what to pick, soon just opting for some comedic show that had a mix of some fantasy and action in it. Hopefully that would be good enough. "I heard that this was an interesting show, if not we could maybe watch um...a Saw movie if you don't mind that kind of stuff. I heard the Final Destination movies were pretty good too." He spoke up, glancing towards the brunette again as the show he had picked played. Honestly he really hoped that the brunette would enjoy the show and get a nice laugh out of it.

"So you like the gorey things then?" That was surprising in a way. He wasn't quite sure that he would particularly like to watch them. It might stir the beast within, and he definitely didn't feel like doing that. He moved to settle in further on the couch, pulling a blanket over himself as the blonde settled on a comedic fantasy show. A small smile came to his face. "Good choice." He smiled towards the blonde a bit before turning his attention towards the television.
"So. London. Did you like it there?" That was kind of a stupid question though, wasn't it? "Er. I mean..." He paused for a moment and shook his head. "What did you choose to move here for?" Maybe that wasn't really his business either, but he was trying to make some sort of conversation.
Michael smiled a little as he glanced over to the brunette as he pulled a blanket over himself and approved of what he chose for them to watch. He was glad that he had gotten the brunette's approval of something small like picking something for them to watch; why he was glad for that he still wasn't all that sure. He turned his attention over to the tv as well to watch the show he had picked, just staying where he was at the moment. However, at Akira's question about London and then why he moved to Lorsette he glanced back over to him and then down towards the floor as he raised a hand to rub the back of his neck a bit.
"London was a fresh start for me so to speak. I didn't really like it at first but it grew on me and I came to actually call it my home." He paused as he captured a few strands of his hair between his fingers, rubbing them together slightly as his hand was still on the back of his neck. "My boss at the time had me move here. I didn't really get a reason as to why but..." He trailed off with a small shrug, dropping his hand away from his neck to let it land on his leg. "I pretty much got cut off from anyone I knew back in London. I only really know you and my mentor here but that's okay." He added, glancing over towards Akira once more as he tilted his head to the side slightly. After a few moments he gave him a smile and then turned his attention over to the tv again. "I know you came here because of some stalker and you have some...thing inside you." He paused as he chewed on his lower lip slightly in thought.
After a few moments he turned his attention over to the brunette once more, scanning his icy blue eyes over him. "Okay how about...twenty questions so to speak? You ask a question, I answer honestly and then I ask and yadda yadda." He suggested, shifting on the couch a little to somewhat face the brunette. "Since you've already asked me a question..." More like two but he'd knock one off for the brunette. "Back before you came here was there any place that you liked to go to?"
