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!
Nicholas was pleased that he could cheer Arlo up before throwing the dart at the balloon. He then watched as his dart hit the middle of the balloon just before it popped. It was surprising that it had hit dead center but he couldn't help but feel pleased as he heard Arlo cheering. He then watched as Arlo had lifted his arm to throw his dart at the balloon once more. More points were added and soon that bear would become in their reach. Only two more tries left before they'd be required to pay again, not that he was bothered by the idea, he really badly wanted that bear so that he could give it to Arlo, thinking they'd look adorable together. He lifted his arm up before throwing the dart towards the balloon, watching as it hit the corner, surprisingly enough it popped after a couple of seconds. Now all that was left to do was for Arlo to hit the next balloon and the bear would be all theirs for the taking.

Eagerly, Arlo bounced on his feet, watching as their points total added up. Together, they would successfully conquer the game and earn themselves the adorable heart bear! It would be a marvellous token from their first date alongside a memory of the day Nicholas asked him to become his boyfriend. Genuine hopes of a long-lasting relationship danced in Arlo's mind as he gleefully remained by the white-haired man's side. The terrific hunter proved on several occasions to be somebody who he would fancy dating for an extended time.
[break][break]
Quietly, Arlo observed his boyfriend prepare for the next dart throw. The hellhound's breath bated as he fervently awaited the upcoming dart throw. Inside his head, the criminal cheered on Nicholas, hoping he could manage to pop another balloon and earn them additional points. The dart whistled through the air, narrowly managing to pop one of the balloons. A gasp escaped Arlo's lips as his eyes flitted towards Nicholas. Excitement glowed in the red hues of his eyes, causing them to sparkle brightly as he regarded his boyfriend.
[break][break]
"We're almost there!" He cheered, clapping his hands together.
[break][break]
The hellhound took a deep breath, shaking any nerves as he calmed himself. A smile was present as Arlo grabbed the dart, perching it on his fingers. His eyes searched, locating an easy target that would give them enough points for the bear. The hellhound brought arm back slightly and threw the dart, sending it sailing. It hit the balloon square in the middle popping it. A happy gasp left Arlo's lips as he reached for Nicholas' arm, promptly snuggling it to display his affection to the white-haired man.

Nicholas watched as Arlo's dart flew into the air, popping the balloon that Arlo had aimed for. Points had been gathered and they had enough for the bear that they desired as their prize. When asked what they'd like, Nicholas spoke, "The bear, please." He answered in await as the bear was handed to him before slowly turning towards Arlo. "I'd love for you to accept this." He answered, slowly handing the bear over towards Arlo with the hope that he'd accept his gift. I really hope he likes this. He thought to himself, only somewhat worried Arlo would be upset over the gift he got.

The gathered points meant exchange for a wondrous prize and Arlo prayed Nicholas noticed the one he eyed. Excitedly, his red eyes stared at his beautiful boyfriend. Together, they earned enough points for the bear holding the heart, the item Arlo found adorable. The white-haired man proved quick to claim the heart holding bear, much to the dark-haired hellhound’s delight. Giddily, Arlo clapped his hands while the individual running the booth grabbed the hook to bring the bear down. The hellhound quietly bounced his feet, fancying the idea of a bear they won together being around.
[break][break]
Where would never matter, for the thought summoned happiness for the young man. The power they inherited with steady teamwork allowed them to triumph and earn themselves the prize they desired. After the pair was lowered from its original hook, the booth attendant handed it to Nicholas. Joyously, the short hellhound observed the passing of the bear into the white-haired man's gorgeous hands. His boyfriend turned towards him, Arlo giving him a broad smile as he faced him. His beloved's benevolence proved powerful as the bear was handed to him with some words.
[break][break]
A gleeful gasp escaped Arlo's mouth as he took the bear, holding it close to provide the stuffed creature with a tight hug.
[break][break]
"Thank you!"
[break][break]
The words shouted in jubilee was followed by the move forward to wrap his arms around his boyfriend. The bear was tightly clenched in one of his hands, assuring he would not drop it. Should his embrace succeed, Arlo would begin displaying his affection through a little innocent cuddling.
[attr="class","arloLyrics"]and bury them with a smile
Nicholas was pleased when the bear had been handed to him and Arlo happily took it from him only to cuddle him in return. They had been at the carnival for hours and he couldn't help but feel hungry for some real food despite having some cotton candy. "Care to have something to eat with me?" He teased playfully, curious on if Arlo wanted to stay here or dine at another restaurant with him. The cotton candy bin was adjusted as he carried it in his other hand, leading Arlo away from the darts booth, with the hope Arlo would take charge and lead him where they should go to eat.

A cheerful smile played across Arlo's lips after accepting the gorgeous heart bear from Nicholas. The soft fur tickled his fingers, the black, bead-like eyes hidden beneath the brown fur. In his paws, it held the large, plain red heart. A soft hmm escaped the hellhounds lips as he gazed at the heart. A plan entered his mind, hasty and smile-inducing as he thought of the possibilities. When he possessed some spare time from both work and Nicholas, Arlo wanted to take the bear to a seamstress to get their names sewn into the heart!
[break][break]
It would be a perfect surprise for the world's most ravishing man, Nicholas! The notion of revealing the bear again with their names stitched in gold in the heart resulted in Arlo's fluttering. A joyous giggle escaped his mouth at the thought, however, secrecy would be maintained for his special surprise! He wanted to amaze, stun and most significantly, fluster his boyfriend with the grand reveal! With their victory over darts accomplished, food was mentioned to proceed to the lunch portion of their date.
[break][break]
"YES! OF COURSE!" The hellhound shouted cheerfully without an ounce of hesitation.
[break][break]
A soft 'hmm' escaped Arlo's lips as he glanced around, Nicholas leading him away from the game booth. The special bear was tucked beneath the hellhound's arm while his hand enclosed around his boyfriend's. Then his red hues spotted a large food booth beside the beach. A gasp escaped his lips as he gazed upon the romantic scene. Lunch overlooking the waves that danced with sunlight! IT WAS PERFECT!
[break][break]
"NIC! Let's eat here, we can go sit at one of the picnic tables by the beach while we eat!" The hellhound happily suggested.
[break][break]
He prayed for the approval of his magnificent, white-haired lover. He adored the notion of a simple lunch of hamburgers or hotdogs by the beachside, although, he wished more romantic food was plausible. Alas, he would handle the cards dealt to him with grace and jovial smiles!
[attr="class","arloLyrics"]and bury them with a smile
Nicholas couldn't help but feel happy when Arlo had suggested for them to find a bench to eat. "Where would you like to eat?" He asked, curious on what Arlo was hungry for. There were a few food trucks to pick from and he wasn't feeling all that picky. His plan was to pay for Arlo's meal and join him on the bench for their date. He'd wait to hear Arlo's answer, planning on leading him in the direction to the food truck as soon as one was selected.

Invigoration filled Arlo's spirit as they planned their lunch to conclude their wondrous and enjoyable day. A cheerful giggle echoed through lips as he watched his handsome boyfriend. Everything about their colourful afternoon was the dream Arlo wished for. Together, they entertained themselves with the carnival and later began dating. The relationship the hellhound managed to gain brought forth the happiness. Already, Arlo's mind fantasized about their beautiful lunch together by the beach side as they conversed.
[break][break]
There were several food trucks in the area, all rallying to gain customers. As they approached, the scents of food filled Arlo's nostrils. A satisfied hum escaped the closed lips of the dark-haired man as he fancied the many smells around him. Deep-fried food, it felt like years passed since Arlo tasted the greasy delights. The young hellhound thought about the possibilities for their consumption and a single one rang in his mind. A delighted smile stretched across Arlo's lips at the sheer thought of what could be accomplished for their lunch.
[break][break]
Perhaps a large platter of fries accompanied by something of their choosing? They could share the potato sticks while they enjoy one another's companionship.
[break][break]
"How about we get a big thing of fries?! Then we can pick hot dogs or hamburgers!" The hellhound happily cheered.
[break][break]
The young criminal displayed a desire to enjoy food together. He grabbed the white-haired man's wrist, leading him towards the nearest food truck with deep fried food. Quietly, they waited in line, shuffling through while Arlo bounced upon his feet. Once they reached the forefront of the line, they were asked about what food they wanted.
[break][break]
"Can I get a large fries and a cheeseburger please?" The man's eyes flitted to Nicholas. "What are you going to get, Nic?"
[break][break]
While Nicholas made his choices, Arlo's hand dipped into his pocket, grabbing his wallet. He planned on paying for lunch, unaware of the white-haired man's plan.
[attr="class","arloLyrics"]and bury them with a smile
Nicholas listened as Arlo spoke, smiling at the suggestion. "I like that idea." He answered as he slowly lead Arlo towards the food truck with the plan of buying a large platter of fries, unsure on if he wanted a hamburger or hot dog just yet. He debated on the menu in silently as he waited for the other customers too order in front of them. Once it was their turn, he listened as Arlo ordered having decided on what he'd be getting for himself. "A hotdog." He answered, reaching too grab his wallet from his pocket, unaware that Arlo had done the same exact thing, only barely noticing Arlo's wallet as he prepared too pay for their meal first.

Excitement coursed through Arlo's veins similar to a speeding race car. Spending time around Nicholas increased the vigor surrounding him. The man's companionship in these special moments of romance and love being represented between two people. It was among the reasons Arlo was willingly grabbing his wallet with plans of purchasing their meals. He considered the action a necessity after the positive emotions Nicholas summoned for the criminal without a shred of hesitation. The white-haired man's sweet personality had Arlo completely enamored with thoughts of him and his glory.
[break][break]
Yet, after Nicholas provided his order, the white-haired man had grabbed his wallet. Surprise flickered in Arlo's red hues as he stared wide-eyed at his boyfriend. A majority of the people he dated frequently allowed the short hellhound to purchase the items of their date. With his vast amounts of riches, few decided to spare him the expense and take turns with buying the food. A smile graced Arlo's face as he stared at the wondrous man, being touched by the gesture. Although, in the meantime, the dark-haired man's fingers wished out the bills.
[break][break]
"You don't have to pay, Nic! Really, I have enough," the hellhound insisted.
[break][break]
Quietly, Arlo plucked out the required cash. If Nicholas insisted on paying, the hellhound would not fight against it. Rarely, the red-eyed man was spoiled with a meal purchase and gaining the chance summoned emotions of joy. It was a pleasant change for Arlo.
[attr="class","arloLyrics"]and bury them with a smile
Nicholas noticed that Arlo had his wallet out, preparing too pay for their food. "But I want too pay." He answered in a teasing manner as he watched Arlo plucking out the required cash. Quickly he removed money from his own wallet with the attempt too pay so that Arlo wouldn't have too do it. It wasn't really the fact that he wanted too show he had the money for it, but for the fact of desiring too spoil Arlo for the day. Maybe next time. I don't want too make things weird if he wants too pay for some. He thought too himself, slightly questioning on if he should have allowed Arlo too pay this time or not. It was too late too back out now, however. Upon successfully paying for the meal, he'd smile as he slowly tried encouraging Arlo too follow him with the hope of finding a spot too seat while they ate their lunch.

In the eyes of the energetic hellhound, Nicholas Johnson was a true gentleman. A majority of Arlo's previous romantic partners proved incompatible or downright detestable. However, the white-haired man represented a change among the average or horrible individuals Arlo dated in the past. He was undoubtedly physically attractive but as his kindness exhibited itself, a soft grin traced across the hellhound's lips. A warmth enveloped his heart merely hearing that Nicholas wanted to purchase their food rather than allowing him, the wealthier man, to go ahead and buy it.
[break][break]
Quietly, Arlo retracted his wallet, stuffing the money back into the slot. A smile played across his lips, his heart happily fluttering inside his chest. A true gentleman! He was dating a true gentleman! Never had Nicholas given Arlo a reason to think lesser of him, rather, he only provided more for him to enjoy his presence! He was fun, polite and respectable all wrapped into an attractive body. A cheerful hum rumbled from Arlo's throat at Nicholas' answer, making it clear the hellhound appreciated the white-haired man's offer.
[break][break]
As his wallet was returned to his pocket, Arlo quietly leaned his head against Nicholas' arm. He was enamoured with this one. The attractive hunter he saw at the kissing booth and felt the sensation of sparks across his lips with. As their food was provided, Arlo grabbed his cheeseburger and gently jerked the handle to the cotton candy.
[break][break]
"I'll carry the cotton candy if you get the fries," Arlo happily offered.
[break][break]
If Nicholas agreed, Arlo would happily take the cotton candy into his care and follow his boyfriend on their conquest for a table. Through their search, a gleeful grin was plastered on Arlo's face, making it obvious the white-haired man brought him happiness.
[attr="class","arloLyrics"]and bury them with a smile
Nicholas couldn't help but feel pleased when Arlo granted him the honor of paying for their meal. Watching him smile was priceless. As soon as the meal was bought, he noticed Arlo had adjusted the cotton candy bucket. "Alright." He answered cheerfully, before reaching over too grab the hotdog and fries that had been ordered. He'd then proceed too lead Arlo away, noticing a table a few seconds later. I'm happy too be here with him. This is the best day ever. He thought too himself as he remained quiet, as soon as they got too the table, he waited for Arlo too sit before soon joining him.

Cotton candy bucket and cheeseburger in hand, Arlo merrily led the way away from the food booth. The warmth of the cheeseburger leaked through the papery, silver shining wrap. The pleasant scents of the meal trickling through the wrapper and tickled Arlo's sensitive nose. The scent made the hellhound drool as his hunger began consuming him more. Thoughts of devouring the delectable burger excited Arlo as they weaved through people and tables. The short black-haired man led the way through the crowds and down the slight hillside.
[break][break]
Stationed closer to the beachside was the vacant table Arlo eyed down from a distance. Giddily, the hellhound hurried forward with the food he was expected to bring along. A happy giggle erupted through the young criminal's throat as he rushed down the soft hill and to the wooden table. Placed inside a wooden box was the table's condiments, freshly cleaned and prepared for the upcoming occupant. Upon his arrival, Arlo brought their cotton candy bucket up and placed it onto the table. The cheeseburger shortly followed onto the table, the hellhound unwrapping it quickly.
[break][break]
For a moment, he glanced over his shoulder to check on Nicholas. His boyfriend's approach summoned a broad smile across the dark-haired man's lips. Slowly, he worked to part his burger, grabbing the ketchup bottle to squirt a bit on.
[break][break]
"It smells SOOOO good," Arlo cheerfully commented.
[break][break]
Once finished with the squirt bottle, his red eyes locked back onto the white-haired man. Gently, he offered the red bottle to give Nicholas the opportunity to put some ketchup on his food should he choose.
