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.

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!

Ponders entered Arlo's head as he wondered about why Christina never informed him about her attractive twin brother. A magnificent, muscular body coupled with a benevolent, saccharine sweet personality was a blissful perfection in a boyfriend! At least, in Arlo's biased opinion. Nonetheless, the hellhound fully intended on flaunting gorgeous images of Nicholas and stories of their date to show his friend how incredible he was. Successfully, another brilliant picture capturing their sublime date was taken.
[break][break]
Excitement flowed through Arlo's veins as he gazed over the adorable selfie he captured of Nicholas and himself. The giggles proceeded as the hellhound's lips, eyes staring at the white-haired man's beautiful face. He loved him immensely and wished to shower him in love. Even the blurriest image would fail to remove Nicholas' endless beauty! Hastily, the dark-haired man returned to snuggling Nicholas' arm, enjoying the comfortable sensation. The suggestion of taking another picture summoned a larger smile onto Arlo's lips.
[break][break]
"YES!" He gleefully cheered. "SAY CHEESE!"
[break][break]
The hellhound lifted his hand again, preparing himself to snap another selfie, however, a thought entered his mind... Moments before he clicked the photo capture button, Arlo turned his head, closing his eyes and kissed Nicholas' cheek. The thought of a sweet image of his flustered boyfriend quickly sparked heart flutters. He really wanted this!
[attr="class","kingsLyrics"]and bury them with a smile
Nicholas couldn't help but look at the selfie too, hopeful that Arlo would allow him to have another one taken. Arlo had agreed and he had prepared himself with the intention of looking good in this one, but just before Arlo snapped the photo, his lips suddenly were against his cheek and he couldn't help but blush immensely as the photo was taken. Damn it.... He thought to himself, having thought to have won until Arlo had pulled a fast one on him. Slowly he reached for the cotton candy to eat some of it, but instead of chewing, he turned to kiss Arlo with the hope of sharing the cotton candy with him before it had a chance to melt, hopefully flustering him in the process.

Triumphantly, Arlo grinned broadly, eyes shifting to the glorious picture of a flustered Nicholas with his lips on his cheek! Little was the hellhound aware of his boyfriend's attempts to appear less dorky in their selfies together, although, all pictures of the white-haired man were INCREDIBLE! The adorableness of his boyfriend was beyond anybody else's capabilities and Arlo was proud! A soft giggle escaped the criminal's lips as he admired the image, attention completely fixated on the marvellous image.
[break][break]
The dark-haired man planned on setting it to the lock screen background of his phone, however, he was not provided with the opportunity. Through his lack of focus, he failed to notice the impending impact of Nicholas' plush lips pressing against his. Eyes widened from the spontaneous action, but soon, Arlo's eyes fluttered closed while his heart began racing. Sweetness covered his lips, the taste of cotton candy filling his mouth as he melted against Nicholas. The hellhound's cheeks reddened softly, lips lingering against Nicholas, returning the kiss.
[break][break]
When the time arrived to slowly pull away, Arlo's eyes butterflied open as though awakening to a fairy tale. A soft smile touched his lips as he shyly gazed at Nicholas.
[break][break]
"Wow..."
[break][break]
The word softly breezed through his lips in response to the spectacular, fireworks-filled kiss. Admittedly, the hellhound found the brazen action enchanting. The spontaneous kiss being an unexpected, but welcomed demonstration of love.
[attr="class","kingsLyrics"]and bury them with a smile
Nicholas couldn't help but feel pleased when he landed a kiss on Arlo's lips, having noticed his eyes widened from his choice of action, only to close his eyes. Watching his cheeks go pink was so beautiful and though he knew he should have had his eyes closed, he found himself saving their kiss with the view of Arlo's face, pleased as he was kissed back. When the kiss had been broken, he watched as Arlo's eyes fluttered open, smiling when he heard Arlo's comment. Finally, I got him back. He thought to himself, knowing Arlo normally was the one who'd snuggle his arm, he chose to return the favor, since they were sitting on the bench with their bucket, resting his head against Arlo's shoulder, but refraining from putting his whole weight on him.

There were several people Arlo had managed to lock lips with before Nicholas, however, nobody managed to manifest the magical sensation across them. The tingling sensation playing across the hellhound's lips maintained a grin. Everything about their precious moment was special, the red-eyed criminal wishing it never ended. Soft giggles of happiness escaped Arlo's mouth as his heart skipped beats. The sugary sweetness of lingering cotton candy only enhanced the spontaneous kiss Nicholas provided him; this man was incredible!
[break][break]
The pleasant kiss was awe-inspiring for Arlo, his face maintaining a subtle redness and his heart proceeded to flutter. Successfully, Nicholas had championed through and won their silly, little game, however, no complaints would be registered. The sensations created from the romantic kiss were unique and something nobody else could manage. The white-haired was brilliant, handsome and by far the best man Arlo ever dated. Shortly afterwards, he discovered Nicholas' head against his shoulder, but his full weight kept off.
[break][break]
The hellhound glanced at him, smiling broadly as he grabbed a piece of cotton candy and attempted to feed Nicholas. Giggles escaped Arlo's lips as he softly poked his boyfriend's lips with the sugary cloud.
[attr="class","kingsLyrics"]and bury them with a smile
Nicholas couldn't help but feel pleased seeing Arlo flustered shortly after their kiss. To him, it meant that Arlo had enjoyed it just as much as he had. He then adjusted to rest his head on Arlo's shoulder to snuggle him, careful to keep his weight off. Arlo reached into the bucket for more cotton candy before poking his lips with it. He chuckled briefly before carefully eating it, unable to resist linking Arlo's fingers in the process since they were in range. Slowly he'd reach out and attempt to feed Arlo more cotton candy, desiring for this day to never end and for them to have more great dates in the near future. Including and not limited too, better selfies of himself.

Gleefully, Arlo's feet kicked back and forth similar to an excited child receiving candy. The presented circumstances held a sweetness similar to those delicious delights, albeit, in the form of romantic gushing! Kisses, hand-holding, romantic exchanges, and blushing filled their first date and Arlo whole-heartedly supported the emotional connection being formed. Heart flutters proceeded as he rewarded Nicholas with another feeding of delightful cotton candy. A content smile stretched across the hellhound's face as his boyfriend carefully consumed the cotton candy with a soft chuckle.
[break][break]
The criminal's red eyes beamed at the white-haired man as he watched, admiring his features and general handsomeness. Those gently curling eyelashes framing those blue optics with a subtle purple tinge. The manner his hair poked into his eyes, sunlight outlining the gorgeous lines of his hair. A lovestruck sigh breezed through Arlo's lips the longer he admired the magnificent appearance of the man he loved. Slowly, their fingers linked back together, intertwining to show their affection and merriment towards the situation.
[break][break]
More cotton candy was pinched from the bin, a sugar cloud approaching Arlo's lips. The hellhound grinned and carefully bit the delicious marvel being fed to him by a loveable man. This was definitely the best day of his life! An attractive, muscular TRS hunter feeding him food and being romantic with him made for a blissful first date! The hellhound's eyes wandered, a gasp leaving his lips as he noticed a dart throwing game with a stuffed bear holding a heart. Once he gulped down the cotton candy he pointed at the booth.
[break][break]
"Nic, look!" He exclaimed.
[break][break]
The bear dangled from one of the carnival hooks, holding a large red heart in its hand. The pelt's colouring was pink, making it clear the bear was likely a leftover Valentine's Day toy they received. The criminal's eyes watched the toy, infatuated with the thought of potentially winning it. How cute would it be for him and Nicholas to have a bear to share?!
[attr="class","kingsLyrics"]and bury them with a smile
Nicholas continued snuggling Arlo, having reached out to feed Arlo some more cotton candy, pleased when he felt Arlo's lips touch his fingers as he ate it. Arlo's sudden outburst found him glancing around until he noticed the dart throwing game, holding a stuffed bear holding a heart on it. "Yes..." He whispered, wanting nothing more than to go over there and win that stuffed bear for his darling Arlo. Though throwing darts wasn't something that he was good at, but he was determined to try. "Want to go over there, to check it out?" He whispered, still snuggling Arlo as he waited for his answer. Should they go over there, he planned on closing the cotton candy bin as means of lower risk of losing it should it be dropped on accident since right now the handled was held by their elbows as their hands remained intertwined.

The tickling sensation of Nicholas' plush lips brushing against his fingertips summoned a giddy giggle from the depths of Arlo's chest. Their interaction felt soft and sugary sweet, something the black-haired hellhound admired about the situation. The heroic hunter he discovered and subsequently began dating proved around every bend to be magnificent in personality and attractiveness. Broadly, he smiled at the wondrous white-haired man, enjoying every precious second of their interaction and official first date.
[break][break]
Heavenly, those were the divine words to describe these precious moments. As a boyfriend, Nicholas broke expectations and conquered like the hunter he was! Successfully defeating the opposition without hesitation and mind filled with courage! Those were Arlo's opinions on the white-haired man championing in the fight for his love and affection. Update, he was winning without a single doubt and the hellhound accepted it. For years he searched for somebody of this wondrous magnitude, somebody he could share cotton candy exchanges and lovey-dovey kisses.
[break][break]
Their attention shifted to the prize hanging from the hooks, the bear holding a heart. The instant Nicholas inquired about checking it out, Arlo nodded enthusiastically, a grin on his face. Sounds of a fastening lid breached Arlo's ears as he giddily grinned at Nicholas. Their hands remained intertwined as they fussed with the bin venturing over. Happily, the hellhound stared at the bear, clearly desiring it, but not vocalizing it.
[attr="class","kingsLyrics"]and bury them with a smile
Nicholas was grateful to have Arlo to assist with closing the cotton candy bin as they made their way to the dart throwing game to check it out. He was looking at the game while Arlo seemed to be focused on the bear. I'm not sure if I can win it, but I'll be damned if I don't try. He thought to himself, setting money on the counter before getting some darts to throw towards the balloon. The goal was to hit as many of the balloons as much as possible. Another neat thing about this game is that points would carry over should you decide to pay again. Slowly he'd aim the dart towards the balloon and throw, hitting it on the edge, watching it pop in the process. In turn gaining some points in the process. Though that left him with only five more to go. He threw another one, still aiming to hit the balloon, this time hitting it in the corner. I'm willing to pay again if I must... He thought to himself, unsure on if he'd get enough points for his first try at this. If only I was better at this... More darts were thrown and soon he found himself paying for more, determined to win that bear for his darling Arlo.

Excitement roamed the hellhound's veins as he strolled over to the dart-throwing booth with his beloved boyfriend. An untamable brightness flourished in his red eyes as they glistened in jubilee. His white-haired boyfriend, gentleman Nicholas Johnson, planned on reigning victorious and winning the push, heart-holding bear. Wide-eyed, Arlo followed his date, observing him as he forked over some cash to participate in the festivities. Cheerfully, he observed Nicholas's first attempt to win the adorable toy from the stand.
[break][break]
Darts whistled through the air, points popping the colourful balloon taped to the board. Points were being gathered with the signalling of every pop. Quietly, the hellhound watched, eyes wide and hopeful for his darling Nicholas. Unfortunately, the first round failed to gather enough points to win the game. Without hesitation, more money was exchanged. A soft red coloured Arlo's cheeks... He never had someone determined to spoil him... It was a sugary change of pace in comparison to the other men he dated.
[break][break]
Uncertainty was hastily detected when Arlo gazed at Nicholas. Slowly, a soft smile appeared as he carefully grabbed his boyfriend's arm and provided a supportive squeeze.
[break][break]
"Want me to help you? The hellhound inquired sweetly.
[break][break]
The criminal stared at his boyfriend with wide eyes. He wanted to assist his wonderful boyfriend, the man who summoned happiness.
[attr="class","kingsLyrics"]and bury them with a smile
Nicholas had thrown the darts but despite his effort, failed to hit enough balloons to earn the points to cash in for the bear for his darling Arlo, so he quickly withdrew more money out of his wallet for another go. Just as he was about to start, he felt Arlo grab his arm before squeezing. He looked back towards him smiling before answering. "I'd love your help." He answered, feeling more at ease now that it would be two against one to earn that bear. He lifted a dart and threw it towards the balloon, hitting the corner again. He sighed before smiling towards Arlo, waiting for him to take his turn, after this there would be four more darts left in their attempt to earn the points required to cash in for the bear they desired.

Cheerfully, Arlo bounced on his feet, hoping he could assist his boyfriend in reigning victorious! As boyfriends, they were expected to become teammates, people capable of working together with excellence. Together, they would move through the world and hopefully prove to become destined for one another. Throughout his experience, their first date progressed wondrously because of the gentlemanly behaviour exhibited by Nicholas. The white-haired man was beyond magnificent, an individual seemingly worthy of stealing his affection.
[break][break]
An agreement was made, the dynamic duo would work together in bringing devastation to the balloon board. Giddily, the hellhound smiles, swaying with excitement. Quietly, he watched Nicholas take his turn, red eyes observing the man's handsome features. Long eyelashes and brilliant hues fixated on a single goal, hitting the balloons with the dart. Attractiveness radiated from the TRS hunter as Arlo witnessed his focus expression, silently swooning all the while. The dart was thrown, flying through the air and hitting another of the corner balloons.
[break][break]
Afterwards, arrived Arlo's turn, the cheerful criminal taking his dart and positioning it in his fingers. The hellhound inhaled deeply, eyes fixating on the smaller, golden balloon in the center. His arm went back, dart being launched and hitting the balloon above. A soft sigh escaped the hellhound's lips. He was somewhat out of practice after some of grandpa's associates refused to play him... His grandfather taught him sharpshooting, and in those lessons, included darts in situations of strapped funds, although, he required further practice!
[attr="class","arloLyrics"]and bury them with a smile
Nicholas watched as Arlo positioned the dart in his fingers before inhaling, lifting his arm back before throwing it towards the balloon. He listened to the sigh come from Arlo, a small smile formed on his lips. "Good job." He whispered, trying to cheer him up before slowly lifting the dart, pulling his arm back as he attempted to aim for the center of the balloon. He then proceeded to throw the dart, hitting it in the middle before it popped. Impressive, of course I have a long way to go if I expect to earn the points to cash in for that bear. He thought to himself, knowing the only reason he hit that balloon in the center had been based on pure luck, the chance of it happening again was slim to none.

Admittedly, the young hellhound felt a little pouty over missing the prestigious golden balloon! Based on the booth’s rules, it would have earned them more points than the meagre red balloons. Therefore, Arlo kept his arms crossed, feeling disappointed over his minor failure and noting his requirement to sharpen his skills. Fortunately, the small smile followed by appraisal from his boyfriend managed to lift the hellhound’s spirits. Slowly, a grin was returned from Arlo as he watched his handsome boyfriend.
[break][break]
There was a soft flutter in his heart because of Nicholas’ benevolence. The white-haired man supported him instead of sighing and claiming he required more practice while vexation dripped from his voice. It was a breath of fresh air compared to the overbearing opinions of his grandfather. Officially cheered, Arlo gleefully waited to witness Nicholas’ turn in trying to win the bear. When his boyfriend hit the center balloon, the hellhound gasped and clapped his hands.
[break][break]
“You got it, Nic!” He gleefully cheered.
[break][break]
Afterwards, it would be Arlo’s turn in their back and forth dart throws. He perched the dart, aiming for another small balloon before throwing and popping it. Additional points would be added to their score to Arlo’s delight; displayed through a gleeful gasp. The hellhound’s eyes widened and locked on Nicholas as though conveying they would succeed!
