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.

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!
There sat the man who, unknowingly, held the nephilim’s heart. The confession of emotions delicate and fragile was avoided, the pains of a previous love interest still an affliction on Desmond’s heart. Recovery, slow in progress, a force that, so far, never promised completion in the mental healing process. People stated one was unprepared for a relationship when the scars of the previous remained open, and Desmond’s did. Motionless, he stood at the door frame, watching Zachary, heart rate higher than its usual pacing. The man was stripped down originally but fortunately covered his private section with his boxers.
[break][break]
Anxiously, Desmond watched Zachary, arms crossing as he observed him. The angel appeared happy about his presence, alas, the ginger-haired nephilim held mixed feelings. The whispered words were greeted with a fragile smile accompanied by silence. Cluelessness was his affliction and fear a side effect, leaving Desmond quiet and uncertain. After the things he saw and accomplished, the suffocating awkwardness could not be halted. He worried the situation would worsen because of their previous interactions… Zachary was unconscious, nude and needed to be cleansed of the germs covering his skin.
[break][break]
Ease transcended over Desmond when Zachary observed him lean down to rest, alas, it would shortly be shattered as the man claimed loneliness. He listened to the angel's words, respiration turning rapid as he heard Zachary's wishes. Upon the mention of moving over, Desmond quivered until he felt the pain of a fall.
[break][break]
"Z-zac!" The nephilim hesitantly moved forward, too frightened to get close.
[break][break]
Awkwardly, he paused, a frown creasing his lips as he looked at the angel.
[break][break]
"I can't," he mumbled, still shaking. "I'm nervous, Zac."
[break][break]
The final words escaped his lips in a whimper. The nephilim crossed his arms, eyes glancing away as he mentioned his anxiety about the situation. It was a miracle he handled it throughout a frightful horde, but now? He knew more about Zachary's body, things he wished to not learn. His fingers dug into the fabric, his head down with uncertainty. Ashamed by inability, he did not know what to do.
Zachary couldn't help but notice that Desmond wasn't moving towards him despite having given space and it made him feel saddened, but before he had a chance to give a reaction, he had on accident fallen off of the bed. He heard Desmond shout his name, but kept his distance before mumbling how he couldn't do it... He claimed being nervous but Zachary couldn't help but feel worried it might just be an excuse because he had seen him and didn't like what he saw and was just attempting to not hurt his feelings. "Oh..." He mumbled, remaining on the floor. "I... I know you helped me Desmond. Thank you." He whispered, attempting to climb back onto the bed slowly before adjusting to lay on his stomach. "I guess I should have figured when you didn't say it back you weren't interested and seeing me... just... confirmed it." He whispered before pressing his head against the pillow, not resting, just trying to calm the sadness he was feeling in his heart.
Fear, a malicious and peculiar emotion. Intimacy was a terrifying concept for Desmond to experience after his ex-boyfriend tore his heart out and stomped on it. There was pain from that, emotional scars still inspiring his negative actions and making it impossible for him to approach Zachary. He could fight against terrors without hesitation, defend himself, dodge and weave against creatures designed to spark fear and kill. He could handle Assembly soldiers should he enter a desperate situation, enough to avoid death, but occasionally not injury.
[break][break]
Yet, he found himself quivering as though a phobia laid on the floor, freshly tumbled from the bed. Despite his positive emotions towards Zachary, the ginger-haired man failed to fight the beast inside, whispering in his ears. He loved the angelic man, his sweet-hearted actions, benevolence and generosity. Hearing Zachary's words broke Desmond's heart, his face dropping and heart aching as the message was taken incorrectly. He watched as the angel picked himself off the floor, crawling back into bed under the belief the ginger-haired nephilim did not love him.
[break][break]
The scout looked down shamefully, heart beating fast from mixed emotions as tears surfaced in his eyes. Why could he not be better?
[break][break]
"Zac... I... I do care... I just..." The words fell from his lips in a congested mumble. "I want to be with you... but I'm nervous... I'm sorry..."
[break][break]
The nephilim refused to gaze upon his crush, believing himself to be worthless for his incapability. Tears softly rolled down his eyes followed by a choking gasp of a sob. He was clueless on what to do. He wanted to power through, but after everything that happened, he found it difficult... The suggestive nature of his discovery worsened his anxieties about love, about being intimate only to find himself abandoned again... People he loved left him plenty... The ginger-haired man lifted a sleeve to his eyes, attempting to wipe the tears.
Zachary knew of Desmond's fear, having figured it out but he still desired closeness with him and was struggling to be patient on the subject. With Desmond keeping his distance, the fear of not being liked after being seen had hurt his feelings. Pressing his face against the pillow because he desired to hide his sorrow in front of Desmond. The words Desmond spoke had caught him by surprised, the first admittance to feelings since things had become awkward after he had written his love you text to Desmond and hadn't gotten one in return. His head turned, face pink as slow tears had fallen from his eyes. He didn't bother wiping them away as his curiosity got the best of him and he desired to confirm what he could have sworn to have heard. "You.... do want to be with me?" He whispered, as means of assuring he had heard him correctly.
"Being scared... I... understand that I'm being selfish with my request..." He whispered, slowly turning his head to press it against the pillow again. Slowly he'd glance back towards Desmond before adding, "I'm having trouble being patient today... be.... I don't want to be lonely." He pleaded, desiring Desmond to come closer, to join him on the bed, to snuggle him. He felt tired, but was determined to stop at nothing to try and encourage Desmond with him, fearful of him being gone should he fall asleep. The idea of Desmond leaving him was devastating, something he didn't want to go through, not again.
Benevolence, a trait held tightly by the angel Desmond adored. The patience exhibited by his precious crush was appreciated throughout their courtship, alas, the courtship phase was not completed for the ginger-haired nephilim. He felt unprepared for a relationship and painfully anxious about the sheer thought. Honestly, the scout felt horrible for his lack of comfort in the situation. The wonderful man was prepared for the following step, however, Desmond failed to step across those stepping stones. It was difficult when every stone was placed in a past-moving river filled with malicious piranhas!
[break][break]
Through the initial steps, a kindly hand led the way, guiding him across, but those stepping stones still frightened him. Never was Desmond capable of forging those types of connections with others, but Zachary changed the playing field. There were genuine emotions of love, however, they frequently received blindsiding from fears of romantic interaction. Inside his chest, the ginger-haired's heart rapidly thudded against his sternum as he nervously attempted to gather his thoughts. Alas, it proved difficult because of the situation presented to him.
[break][break]
Fortunately, he managed to ease Zachary's concerns by confessing his emotions. The repeated, whispered question was anxiously responded to with a small nod. He listened to the angel's words, understanding those emotions of desiring closeness. A deep breath was sucked into Desmond's lungs as he hesitantly stepped closer.
[break][break]
"H-how about a compromise? I... I will sit beside the bed and hold your hand," Desmond offered quietly.
[break][break]
A quiver entered his body, however, Desmond wanted to assist in making Zachary comfortable. Hesitantly, the nephilim moved closer, praying he could assist his crush without panicking severely.
Zachary listened to Desmond's words. He found himself pouting as he heard the compromise. "What about sitting on the bed? I mean the floor would be uncomfortable, wouldn't it?" He asked, worried about how comfortable Desmond would become. He knew he'd feel more at ease with Desmond taking his hand in his own though and wasn't about to pass up the chance. He watched as Desmond slowly moved closer, hoping he'd chose to sit on the bed instead of on the floor. As it stood, he was on the other side of the bed, so he inched closer so that reaching wouldn't be too difficult in the attempt to hold hands while he was required to rest. He felt drained, today sucked, being attacked, trying to be stitched without numbness only to be in shock from the pain, for Desmond's requirement to step in and tell him to pause the stitching to get the shot with numbness in it.
He still couldn't feel his arm, the desire for closeness, overwhelmed him and he believed the only one that could fill the void was Desmond himself, but he knew he had to be careful as to avoid possibly pushing him away. He'd wait for their hands to interlock before attempting to doze, until finally he was asleep. He slept for a few hours, but soon would wake up suddenly from a nightmare. "Plea... please come closer..." He pleaded for Desmond to become closer to him... Slightly shaking from his nightmare.
Anxiety vice-gripped around Desmond’s heart, constricted it as it lept nervously inside his rib cage. Never could he handle previous experiences of intimate interaction, and currently, it displayed itself in all its menacing terror. The sheet concept of romantic connection resulted in a response similar to one a crazed beast with sharpened fangs gleaming with blood dye was capable of. The nephilim’s upper teeth gently bit down upon his lip as he inched towards the bed where Zachary laid. The damaged angel required somebody more than ever and Desmond worried about failing those needs.
[break][break]
There was the love shared between them, restrained by the fearful actions of an emotionally crippled man. A compromise was offered, provided more substance with Zachary's suggestion. Sit on the bed, beside him, with their hands intertwined. It prompted intense heart flutters in the depths of his chest cavity. A deep breath was inhaled and held inside his lungs as he hesitantly took his initial steps forward. The least he could do was sit on the bed beside him and provide the support the doctor required.
[break][break]
Gradually, he stepped forward, closing in on the bed. Breathing elevated with every footstep, hairs standing on the back of his neck. Should somebody view his body language and facial expression, perhaps they would have assumed a hunter heading off to battle. Alas, the real battleground existed inside Desmond's mind as he powered through fears of intimacy and love to be there for Zachary; the man he cared about most. The ginger-haired nephilim softly chewed his lower lip as he stiffly turned to sit on the bedside.
[break][break]
Once settled, he hesitantly offered his hand to Zachary, arm trembling as he prepared for their hands to embrace. As their hands collided, Desmond flinched, biting down hard on his lip. The pressure was released from his lower lip slowly as he forced a slow breath. A warmth settled between their connected hands and from concerns of releasing, he anxiously squeezed Zachary's. He could not let go! He got so far! Throughout his nervous, insecure thoughts, Zachary had managed to begin the process of slumbering while Desmond attempted to control his breathing.
[break][break]
Hours may have passed, Desmond was uncertain... The fixation on his breathing and attempts to maintain calmness in the midst of negative memories surfacing was a disconcerting situation. Thoughts of inadequacy filled Desmond's mind as he stared at the carpeted floor. Certainly, Zachary deserved somebody more capable of handling the more affectionate stuff, right? Those small activities such as embraces and... kissing felt beyond the emotionally scarred ginger. Why could he not be better for him?! Thoughts were shattered when he heard Zachary's voice, his body becoming aware suddenly.
[break][break]
The scout's head slowly turned, green eyes locking onto the doctor. Worry consumed him quickly as his eyes turned soft on the man he loved. The man's body was shaking in absolute fright as he pleaded for closeness... a far cry from the regularly determined doctor... Under most circumstances, Zachary's possessed a military man's bravery with the method he protected important people in his life. The reaction was a stark contrast.
[break][break]
"What's wrong, Zac?" He whispered.
[break][break]
For once, those anxieties could be shoved aside as he watched the angel quiver beneath the covers. Merely witnessing his body language made Desmond's heart ache. He never observed Zachary's reaction to fear... and for years, he believed the doctor to be calm beneath any suffocating pressure. Yet, here he laid, shaking in terror.
Zachary woke up and pleaded for Desmond to come closer, shaking from his nightmare. Desmond looked his way, clearly worried but hadn't moved closer to him. Instead he asked him what was wrong instead. In answer to the question, he turned onto his side, opposite of where Desmond was sitting as means of hiding his face from him. That... felt so real. I thought she took her away from me... I thought that she was going to be with her mother now for the sake of bringing me pain... and when I pleaded for Alice to come back... her mother ordered her to kill me and she complied without hesitation... Am I a horrible father by allowing us to part ways instead of making it work? I know she is dangerous to be around and that my heart doesn't belong to her anymore but is it really fair to Alice? He thought to himself, shaking more as he remained quiet, unable to bring himself to answer Desmond's question. "So.... alone...." He mumbled, hand laying behind his back so that their hands remained interlocked as he remained on his side.
Worries consumed Desmond the longer he watched Zachary quake in fear because of an unstoppable force. A fight had conquered the angel's mind through his slumber, leaving the man the ginger-haired man viewed. A frown carved into the nephilim's lips, his concerns abandoned for a moment. What happened during his crush's descent into the land of sleep? Rather than explain the terror enveloping him, Desmond watched as Zachary rolled onto his side. Face hidden beneath the covers and body proceeding to tremble... it was difficult to watch.
[break][break]
Their hands remained intertwined throughout the angel's attempts to hide from him. The shaking worsened and the quietness hanged. Inside Desmond's chest was an aching sensation, but he was terrified of taking this further than he already did. A beat skipped before his heart thudded hard against his chest... Lonesomeness was confessed despite the connection between their hands. Breathing became scarce as the ginger-haired Nephilim discovered himself panicking at the thought of getting any closer...
[break][break]
Everything was moving so fast... it overwhelmed him! What if Zachary discovered he hated him?! What if they fought?! What if they broke up?! The series of concerns struck cords, resulting in Desmond shaking, frightened to take the risk. The first time, Leon recklessly grabbed his heart, squeezed it and slammed it onto the floor before stomping on it. He left him bleeding there... hurting as he was informed the only thing he was important for was sex... nothing more... All the romantic things he did and attempts of care mattered naught.
[break][break]
Tears slithered down from the corners of Desmond's eyes. He was unable to help... he failed in pleasing his crush...
[break][break]
"I... I can't..." He mumbled, words congested. "I'm not... good enough... I'm sorry..."
[break][break]
Through whimpered words he spoke, a pained heart panicking as memories surfaced. Memories of snuggles, happy days between lovers and eventually the shattering of his emotional response to affection. He never took it well... He never loved somebody before Leon... and that man made him feel like a failure when it arrived to loving relationships. The nephilim sniffled, his arm to wipe tears onto his sleeve.
[break][break]
"I d-don't... want you... to feel alone," he mumbled through heavy, congested breaths. "But... I'm so scared... Leon- mmm."
[break][break]
Another whimper escaped his lips unintentionally. Recovery felt far as the ginger-haired nephilim found himself overwhelmed. He wanted words of comfort, he wanted things to slow down... No, he needed things to slow down before he could go any further... else the anxieties of his scars would manage a devastating grip. All he desired was a moment to breathe, a moment to remember he was safe and everything would be alright, but he struggled to convey those requirements in words. Rather, his lips quivered as he breathed heavily, terrified of the consequences of inability... Leon always got mad if he showed so much as discomfort after all.
Zachary listened as Desmond spoke, he was quiet as he thought of what he could say. All he wanted was to not be alone but he was bringing Desmond pain by requesting him to come closer to him. He knew somewhat of Desmond's past and how he had to be patient with him but that nightmare... it kept him from being able to remain patient as he normally would be. It wasn't until Desmond spoke again that he had flinched. He squeezed Desmond's hand before continuing to hold it loosely. He didn't want to cause him pain, only comfort. "You are good enough." He whispered, "Don't let anybody tell you otherwise...." He whispered in return, still shivering as he thought about his nightmare. Am I good enough though, good enough as a parent, good enough as a partner? He thought to himself as he thought about all the times he spent with Desmond. "I'm... I'm not okay..." He whispered, breaking the silence. "But... I know I will be..." He paused before adding, "Especially when your nearby me." He whispered, not sure of what to do now. On the one hand, he felt so alone, on the other, Desmond wasn't ready to move closer to him.
Conflicts existed inside of Desmond’s mind as tears rolled down his cheeks. The shakiness of his breath was evident as he gasped for air and released it in a slow, unregulated mess. The haunting memories of his past experiences in relationships dug into him similar to the talons of a predatory bird. He was the mouse and the memories the hawk threatening to devour him. Inside, his heartbeat turned rapid, thumping hard against his sternum. Anxieties were claiming him quick, feeding on the trepidation of his feeble heart for strength.
[break][break]
Then the words of benevolent patience escaped the lips of the man he loved. The nephilim's head lifted, green eyes staring through pooled tears at the magnificent individual. He donated understanding, a willingness to allow Desmond to grow more comfortable before proceeding with the steps which insinuated potential intimacy. He sniffled, breaths wheezing through his congested windpipe. An arm reached to roughly wipe away tears, irritating his sensitive, swollen cheeks. Deep breathes were attempted, failing until finally discovering purchase.
[break][break]
You are good enough. Those words stringed together to promote confidence and reassurance... It was something Desmond could appreciate. Through his wheezing breaths, he listened to Zachary proceed to speak. Emotions diminished as the angel stated he was not alright, but attempted to dismiss those worries with a follow-up comment. Despite the compliment blossoming the hints of a fluster, Desmond swallowed a deep breath and exhaled. Physically, his crush displayed reactions of distress with the manner he quivered in fear...
[break][break]
Those were not the assurances of somebody who would become okay... rather the fragile attempts of courage.
[break][break]
"... I... I still want to be there..." He mumbled through the congestion of his mouth. "Want to... talk about it?"
[break][break]
The words were quiet, narrowly interpretable because of the congested state of Desmond's mouth. Alas, he wished to replace Zachary's desires of physical closeness by offering a person to lean on emotionally. Somebody to dump out worries without hesitation to receive consolement in return. It felt neccessary. Out of all his capabilities, it was something Desmond could provide without the fears of intimacy creeping in to ruin a perfect relationship.
Zachary wanted to tell Desmond that he was here, just distant but he couldn't bring himself to admit to such things... It was difficult for him to pull his thoughts together while he felt like shit over the nightmare of losing Alice. Desmond asked if he wanted to talk about it, oh how he wanted too but he just couldn't bring himself too do so... instead of answering, he remained silent, staring at the wall with his back still turned towards Desmond. I'm not good enough... if I lose her, I'm not good enough to be a parent... He thought to himself before turning his face against the pillow before pressing against it. So alone.... forever alone... Thoughts continued to enter his mind, worming into his soul. He was having a difficult time controlling his emotions, knowing Desmond needed time but he desperately wanted him closer so they could snuggle. He didn't dare admit to such things, already believing it wouldn't happen anyway, else surely it would have by now. I should try and sleep, leave him alone... Let my mind wonder... Have him not worry about it.... He has enough on his plate already. He thought to himself, deciding to allow the silence to continue between them as he continued shivering.
Disheartened emotions crushed Desmond like a tidal wave as silence answered his question. A frown drooped across his lips as the nephilim sniffled. Tears were dried through the sleeve of his TRS mandated jacket. He desperately wanted to keep them from flowing, but his worries consumed him. The inner turmoil battled, terrors versing the fictional hunters attempting to keep his emotions from going under. Between his worries about Zachary and lack of preparation to handle the situation presented to him, Desmond found himself conflicted.
[break][break]
Somebody needed to help the benevolent man, but nobody else was nearby and dragging Alice into the situation would worsen matters. Fright stirred in the depths of Desmond's chest at the thought of being used again... in becoming a meagre pleasure servant. Yet, the trembling angel required his love to survive the situation and stave away the fears from the nightmares. Mentally, the doctor was tortured by the turmoil in his mind as well, a mutual pain. The ginger-haired man nibbled his bottom lip, watching for seconds longer.
[break][break]
A breath was inhaled, memories of Zachary's benevolence being hammered into his mind until Desmond took the chance. The scout kept Zachary's hand in his and leaned himself into a laying position.
[break][break]
"I... I trust you, Zac," he mumbled through trembling lips. "I... I... I'm scared... but... I want to help you."
[break][break]
The angel promised him patience, treated him kindly and rescued him from dastardly monsters. The least he could do is provide the well-needed comfort for his crush. It was a needed action despite the fear lurking inside.
Zachary couldn't help but feel surprise when it appeared to him that the bed had shifted slightly as if Desmond had moved to lay down, their hands being intertwined felt closer and he couldn't help but feel curious on if Desmond had moved closer or not, so he found himself turning onto his back before rolling onto his other side so that he'd now be facing Desmond to see, to his surprise, had chosen to lay down on the bed. The words that left Desmond's lips, brought tears to his eyes. "Oh Desmond..." He whispered, slowly moving to reach over to try and hug him before pausing. It wasn't that he didn't want to snuggle Desmond, he really did want to do so, but was this really okay? Surely Desmond needed more time first. The nightmare of losing Alice haunted his mind once more and he found himself stuck in though over it, arm remaining in the air because he got distracted with his thoughts to move it. Desmond is here... I'm... I'm no longer alone.... He thought to himself before being reminded of where his arm was, slowly he brought it down, hoping Desmond would allow him to snuggle against him, tears streaming down his face. "Am I a bad parent?" He whispered, fear of hearing the answer returning to him was apparent on his face.
Witnessing Zachary's terrified tremoring summoned upsetting emotions for the young nephilim. Despite the frightening churning inside his stomach, Desmond wished to assist the angel who displayed nothing but patience with him. Alas, as he leaned down onto the bed, the ginger-haired man already discovered his breathing quickening. Anxieties were grasping his shoulders because he decided to sacrifice his comfort to assist the angel he cared about most. Yet, he was required to survive through his nervousness to rescue Zachary from the sorrows haunting him.
[break][break]
Fortunately, the action was appreciated by Zachary, evident by a peripheral glance at the man. There were tears welling inside of his eyes, overwhelming the brilliant blue hues. The nephilim's heart kickstarted when he noticed Zachary's arms stretched out. Automatically, he began chewing his lower lip, a little anxious about the procedures to come once the angel's arms wrapped around him. Alas, they never arrived as Desmond attempted to motivate himself, rather, they remained suspended as though someone hit pause on a remote meant for Zachary.
[break][break]
Moments later, the arm slowly landed on him, Desmond's breathing quickening in natural panic. You will be okay. You will be okay. You will be okay. The words were repeated in the nephilim's head as closeness manifested between them. Despite the concerns shuffling through Desmond's head, he managed to hear Zachary's question. Through the panic, his eyes softened with worry.
[break][break]
"Zac," he whispered, voice a little fragile. "You're an amazing parent... Alice l-loves you... y-you take of her."
[break][break]
The words were quiet as they escaped Desmond's lips, a fragility evident in his voice. He attempted to convey comfort, unfortunately, there was a struggle due to the fear consuming the nephilim. He wanted to help, but inside, his feelings battled and caused conflict.
