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.
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.
Skylar had found herself extremely flustered when she got to see Selina. It had been a slow process for her to gain the courage to strip and join her in the bath, of course as soon as she was all cleaned up, Selina had been nice and had gotten her some clothes to wear so that she wouldn't be forced back into those ragged clothing. As promised, she followed Selina, plans on going shopping as she had agreed to do so, still feeling guilty that Selina was having to pay for her belongings. She really was too kind. She thought to herself, still somewhat embarrassed from their bath together, finding those thoughts won't be going away anytime soon, but there wouldn't be any complaints coming from her because she enjoys being around Selina.
Selina walks the streets like the rich girl in town, black sunglasses covering her pearly blue eyes, her dress a matching shade of black and a few yellows here and there. Her yellow handbag hangs loose on her shoulder, jewelry on both her wrists, and a necklace on her neck, shining in the sun. The gothic lolita look is completed by a hat on her blonde hair, styled in a bob cut. Of course, her hair pins are retained, two black roses on her hair.
[break][break]One would think she were to go to a funeral, but they would be wrong.
[break][break]"Skylar, here we are~!" She calls to the young woman who is currently her company for this shopping trip; such a cute woman who can turn into a calico cat at her own will. Selina turns, her dress fluttering slightly in the wind, a wide smile on her face. "You're going to love this shopping mall, Skylar! It's got lots of clothes for you to choose from, and food for you to eat! Tasty even!" She winks and elbows her playfully. "I expect you're hungry from all that time spent on the street, eh?"
Skylar followed Selina, feeling somewhat nervous as they walked the streets. Though she knew she'd be fine with Selina, she still felt wary because she was used to roaming around in her feline form. She found herself stuck in her thoughts of the last time she wandered the streets in her human form and how it had also been her last. She was pulled from her thoughts when Selina spoke to her. As Selina's words sank in, she found herself blushing slightly. "Yes and no." She admitted, viewing herself as fine since she had been fed as a cat after all. Though it was true, she did miss eating while in her human form, easier to take in as well. "Lead the way?" She asked, nervous on where to go first.
Skylar is open like a book, very nervous about this trip and all. For the young girl, it's such a shame realizing that some people actually become unsettled at the thought of going to a mall, and one of those people may be her familiar. However, she holds nothing against her; Selina smiles at the response given to her, happy to at least know that Skylar had been okay in the streets before her. She doesn't plan on throwing her back in the streets, of course. She plans for Skylar to stay with her forever.
[break][break]She giggles playfully as Skylar asks her to lead the way. "Oh, of course, of course. This is your first time, after all, so I'll be the tour guide." The statement might sound already too obvious, but Selina doesn't care. As long as the idea has been said, it's been said. "Let's go head to the boutique store first! Or would you like to eat anything first before shopping?"
Skylar had answered Selina's question before asking to lead the way. "Eat something first?" She asked, the thought failed had crossed her mind. Her stomach grumbled, clearly proving she was hungry. She blushed in embarrassment. "Can we eat first?" She asked, redirecting the question. For two reasons, if she ate now, her stomach would stop bothering her and to avoid on accident spilling on the new clothes. I need to explain the contract with her once we finish here so that I can really be her familiar, because as it stands right now, we still need to do that. She thought to herself, choosing to remain silent as she waited for Selina to say what they'd be doing first.
A small smile finds its way through Selina's lips as she looks at Skylar, directing the question of eating first back at her, which for Selina is almost cute as the woman who asked herself. Moreover, she is surprised with herself, Selina, the Rotten Rose, smiling genuinely at someone she'd met roughly a few months. Perhaps there was something more to Skylar than she could have ever hoped for, being her familiar and all. Sky makes her... very happy.
[break][break]It's so strange. But Selina doesn't mind.
[break][break]When Skylar further confirms with an inquiry that she would like food first, Selina nods enthusiastically, a giggle escaping her lips. "Alright! Let's go get some food. There are plenty of restaurants in these malls, but I know the right place to indulge ourselves!" She happily skips along as she says these words, though making sure not to leave her precious Sky behind.
Skylar can't help but blush when she sees Selina smiling at her. She isn't sure why it is, but she finds herself happy. She made the comment about food, pleased when Selina agreed with her before mentioning how she knew where they should go and lead the way. She quickly followed as to avoid possibly being ditched, not that it was possible since she had Selina's scent and all but she was sure that it wouldn't be required because Selina seemed to keep in mind her pace and hadn't gone too far ahead of her. I'm still flustered to be here.... I mean clothes shopping of all things. She really is the best. She thought to herself, curious on where Selina would take them to eat.
The mall is crowded, people of all shapes walking the reflective tiled floors, chatter and noise (and even a few screams) rampant here and there. Sandals clacking on the tiles, Selina turns her head left and right for the section of the mall grouped with restaurants; though she does stop occasionally to check on Skylar, looking for her through the corner of her eye before turning back to continue her search for restaurant she promised.
[break][break]A few minutes of walking and finally, they arrive- "DaringDine", a high class restaurant with highest food quality anyone could ever wish for and eat. Selina remembered the time she came here for the first time in one of their branches in the malls of Ohio, her late parents ordering such exquisite food that made her mouth water in excitement. Now, it still makes her hungry thinking about the food they are about to partake in, though a wave of nostalgia constantly hits her after she'd forcefully tried to remind herself of her parents.
[break][break]Nevertheless, she turns to Skylar with the largest smile on her face. "Here we are!" She poses dramatically as if showcasing the restaurant to her companion. "I did promise you the most exquisite food, didn't I?" Selina adds with a wink.
Skylar still feels nervous as they walk around the mall, not feeling comfortable around the other people. Thankfully Selina remained in close range so that she could force herself to feel more at ease. After a few minutes of walking they arrived at a high class restaurant. She found herself staring at the sign, almost missing what Selina says to her before smiling slightly. "That you did..." She answered nervously, "But isn't this a bit much... for me, I mean." She asked in a whisper, unsure on if she really should be going inside or not.
In Selina's eyes, Skylar just looks so nervous, so shy, that ultimately in any time she might not be able to help but pounce on this young woman and give her the biggest hug she's ever done. Yes, even right in front of this room. But she suppresses the urge to do so, and instead only tries to stifle the flustered giggles that escape her lips as she looks at Sky and listens as she says it was too much for her.
[break][break]But she doesn't laugh, only grins happily as she walks up to Skylar. "Oh come on now, Sky, there's no need to be shy! I've brought you here after all so we could eat, not worry about the cost of your worth!" She wraps her arm around Skylar's and proceeds to drag her towards the entrance, though did not pull too much, a sense of urgency only present in the action. "Like I said, it's my treat. Everything we buy for you here is. Now come on, give me your order and we'll buy it for you!" She winks, an overload of enthusiasm in her voice.
Skylar couldn't help but continue feeling embarrassed. One minute she was a house cat, the next she was Selina's familiar despite having yet to sign the contract to bind them together. She listens as Selina speaks but doesn't move from her spot, encouraging Selina to wrap an arm around her and encourage her forward. "I don't know what I want though.... can't you pick?" She asked, it had been too long since she had eaten in this form. She felt rusty and unsure of herself. She didn't want to order something that she wouldn't like. "Pick something you like and let me try it?" She pleads, unaware that Selina is an undead, meaning she isn't required to eat to survive.
