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 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!
Zachary had noticed Desmond's discomfort but he couldn't bare being alone any longer... The thought of being alone, meant finding a way to no longer be alone. Pillows wouldn't do, only another person, one he had feelings for would do. It was such a selfish thought, he knew, but was unable to keep his desires from coming out any further. Arms wrapped around Desmond, hopeful that he'd be able to snuggle him. Already he found himself becoming better, despite Desmond having to put aside his own fears to assist him with his own. He couldn't help but secretly view himself as weak for being unable to refrain from dragging Desmond into this situation, but that nightmare, it seemed so real. He asked his question, fearful of what he'd hear. "But is that enough?" He whispered in return, fear of losing Alice to her mother, fear of losing her to death. "I am keeping her away from her mother.... can't keep myself from wanting to be around you...." He whispered, feeling like crap. "I'm a horrible person, Desmond...." He whispered, pressing his face against his shoulder to try and hide his face in shame, tears streaming down his face as he attempted to collect himself.
Anxieties consumed Desmond as he laid alongside the magnificent Zachary Everett. The heavyset breathing was a consequence of the closeness he shared with the man he loved. Arms were wrapped around the nephilim, his mind panicking as their proximity tightened. The ginger chewed upon his lower lip as he attempted to manifest some form of relation for his nervous mind. Despite his enjoyment of Zachary’s companionship when they were distanced, closeness always made him struggle.

There were wishes he could improve to assist the wondrous angel who shattered his beliefs of all angels being selfish in action. Quickened breathing was inevitable through their conversation, the repeated mantra of ‘You’ll be okay. You can trust, Zac’ repeating indefinitely through his mind. As his struggle proceeded, he managed to listen to the notions of bothering his beloved. While his countenance maintained an expression of anxiety, beneath were concerns about Zachary.
[break][break]
The angel’s crying startled Desmond as he felt ahead against his shoulder. For a moment his breathing spiked, the nephilim's hands curling into balls from anxiety.
[break][break]
“Al-alice’s mum... is dangerous,” he narrowly mumbled out. “You good…”
[break][break]
The words were questionably strung together because of the nervousness claiming Desmond. Each word was arranged in a clunky manner and laced with tones of anxiety. He struggled to speak in regards to the matter or provide comfort for the man he loved... The nervousness was getting to him...
Zachary listened as Desmond spoke, knowing how uncomfortable he was feeling. He found himself dozing as he snuggled Desmond, hoping he would remain nearby even if he should fall asleep. He snuggled against Desmond's shoulder, trying to stay awake for the sake of hearing what he'd have to say. It was a struggle, he was tired, the only things keeping him awake were the fear of another nightmare and leaving Desmond in this uncomfortable state. "Is this... Is this really okay?" He whispered, waiting a couple of seconds with the hope of hearing Desmond comment before finding himself drifting off to sleep on accident.
Memories of a past relationship mingled with the endless nervousness captured in Desmond's mind, infecting his heart and blinding his brain to the possibility of difference. Yet, despite these emotions fraternizing, he found himself remembering Zachary was an entirely different individual. Somebody sweeter and more benevolent than Leon, the man he crushed on and formerly dated. The conflict of two separate opinions held in a single person placed a lack of reason in those anxieties, yet, still fed them.
[break][break]
The snuggling against his shoulder resulted in a sharp inhale of oxygen brought on by the inner turmoil haunting his mind. A new feature was added to the nervous mess Desmond was becoming. He bit down on his lower lip, light chewing occurring while his mind entered an overdrive panic. It reminded him of more intimate affairs, frightening him with thoughts of being abandoned again while another part screamed Zachary's difference. There was a subtle quaking to the nephilim as he laid beside the man he cared about most.
[break][break]
As the inquiry arrived, his green eyes spared a glance at the angel. He remembered Zachary's trembling, the way he reacted after the nightmare... If he failed to learn to fight his afflictions now, the man he claimed to care about would inevitably suffer the consequences. A shaky inhale was accomplished and held as Desmond attempted to scrape together a little courage.
[break][break]
"I'm fine," he mumbled on the exhale.
[break][break]
Breaks of fear could be narrowly noticed in his pitch. He disguised his nervousness about the circumstance, refusing to allow Zachary to hear it. He wanted to protect the angel from his sorrows, therefore, he would grin and bear it for his sake.
