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.

season
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.
a small yawn escaped her lips. she had been up half the night. she was already running low on sleep and she wasn't exactly sure why she had agreed to cover their shift. probably because at the time she had been fully caffeinated. she was glad it was her day off though. she didn't sleep in as much as she could. she didn't want to spend her entire day sleeping. she had so much to do. she was extremely excited about the ice castle. she hadn't had a chance to go and everyone that had couldn't stop talking about it. which made her want to go even more.
she had done a few chores around her place after feeding her face, showered and got dressed. she figured she should of asked some friends to go with her, but she couldn't wait. there was always the possibility that they would be working. she really needed more friends outside of the ward. the ones you had died remember? the nasty thought popped into her head and she quickly moved her head from side to side. as if it would go away simply with a shake of her head.
fifteen minutes later. she was riding the slide for what seemed like the millionth time. she was getting a little cold, after all the castle was made of ice. she figured it would be best to warm up a little before continuing with the other activities. it wasn't too long before she found refreshments. she ordered a hot chocolate and was glad for the warmth. her fingers were defrosting a bit.
Vashti let out a sigh, though it was true TRS was patrolling the Ice Castle, she couldn't help but feel like she needed to play a part in protecting the people inside it as well. Though she wouldn't have only Terrors to watch out for, but other bystanders too. She wasn't on the clock, so she had to pay to get inside. It was fine, paying wasn't so much of a bother, besides unless anybody here crossed paths with her in the past, they wouldn't likely know that she was a police officer. And if they try and do anything illegal I'll contain them until another police officer comes by to arrest them on the spot. She nodded her head at the thought as she wandered around for something interesting to do. She found herself near the refreshments, ordering coffee before moving off to the side to drink it.
So far, nothing has happened. That is good because I really don't want to see any trouble here. She thought to herself, zoning off to think about one of her cases that she was currently working on. The Ice Castle was crowded, there were too many people here than she would have liked to be hanging around. Somebody had bumped into her and she was forced out of her thoughts to see who had done so.
she wasn't sure if it was a good idea to sit down in a place for too long. right now she just wanted to enjoy her hot chocolate. climbing all those stairs was hard work. she loved going down the slide. she would more than likely ride it one last time.
as she sipped her hot chocolate she let her eyes take in the scene. it seemed like people were still coming in. as they should be, this place wasn't unlike anything she had seen before. it isn't everyday one gets to see a castle made of ice. it was like this castle could of been found in some random fairy tale.
it wasn't too long before she spotted a familiar face. she waved at her and when she noticed that she had probably not been seen she jumps out of her seat and towards that familiar face."hey vashti!"she calls out."haven't seen you in a while."the green haired girl says with a smile.
Vashti hadn't noticed Danika waving at her, because she had been deep in her thoughts. It wasn't until somebody had bumped into her that she was pulled out of her thoughts, looking over at the person before giving a friendly smile to his apology. A voice called out to her and she turned her head to see Danika calling out to her. "Hi Danika." She greeted with a smile as she slowly made her way over towards her. "Yeah, I've been staying out of fights with those horrible Terrors." Though it was true, that wasn't to say she wouldn't run into a criminal that would give her trouble, but the hospital was nearby so she chose to put it to good use. "How have you been?" She asked before taking a sip from her coffee cup. It is slightly cold out here. I should have thought to dress warmer. Though if there is a slight chance of trouble happening nearby at least I'll be ready.
Though she didn't believe any person would be foolish enough to start trouble, criminals seemed to be around ever corner, then of course even with TRS patrolling that wasn't to say having more hands wouldn't be useful in the long run. She wouldn't have any problem joining in if it meant keeping another person safe. She once more pulled herself out of her thoughts, "Sorry, I seem to have a lot on my mind today."
she smiled at the girl."that's good to hear. i mean as much as i like you visiting, i prefer that you do so when you're not hurt."danika knew what it was like. after all she had been on the field for sometime. she trained to fight even if it was a different level. they didn't want her fighting after all her specialty was in healing.
"im doing alright. i had the day off and simply had to check this place you? what about you? you're not waiting for someone are you?"the many times that she had been brought in, she was never alone.
she sipped her hot chocolate and shook her head."don't worry about it."she smiled once more."just don't get too distracted while you're doing something else. don't want you getting hurt."she said in a teasing tone.
Vashti nodded her head in agreement, she would like to visit when not hurt too. She listened as Danika answered her question. "I also have the day off." She answered before blushing to the question about waiting for somebody. "Who me? No..." Even if there was a chance somebody did something stupid, she would feel much happier if she didn't have to deal with that stuff today, even if she had come out here looking for possible trouble. Thinking about Fritz made her feel warm on the inside, despite the fact that they were only friends she couldn't help but care about his well being, besides he had saved her. If it hadn't been for him that fateful day she would have been dead. Then of course Danika having to help heal her up, she had a lot of people to thank.
She took another sip of the coffee, the warmth was so nice against her tongue, making her feel like she wasn't freezing anymore even though it was an Ice Castle. She had apologized for zoning out and once more blushed when Danika had teased her about other thoughts. "I'll be fine." She waved her off, finding the teasing somewhat amusing. "Though if I do get hurt, I can count on you right?" She was kidding, she had no plans to need healing today though she knew Danika would likely help her if needs be.
danika smiled."that's great. we should hang out. of course that's if you want to."she said with a laugh. she hadn't come here with friends, they had all been working today. it was a miracle she had run into vashti. she was glad that she didn't have other plans. she wasn't waiting for anyone else. so she must of had just come out here to check the place out.
vashti seemed like a nice girl and it wouldn't hurt to make friends outside the ward. she was thankful for the ones she had left. now it seemed it was danika's turn to space out. she was brought back to reality by her question.
she noticed the rosiness in her cheeks, but figured she wouldn't call her out on how cute she looked when she was blushing. danika took another sip and shrugged her shoulders."i don't know, maybe."of course she was only joking and she started laughing a few seconds later."of course! i've got your back darling!"
Vashti grinned at Danika. "Of course." She agreed before adding, "I'd love to hang out with you." She didn't want Danika to think she was copying what she had just said, she wanted her to know that she had meant every word. She didn't notice Danika space out, because she was quick to reply back to her. She drank her coffee, finding it amusing that Danika had made such a comment. That is okay, if she means it I can always get help somewhere else.... She wasn't about to let it bother her. Danika started laughing and she joined in with her, grinning when Danika had changed her answer on her. "That is good, I though I would have to tell Fritz." Of course she was kidding, nobody knew about her feelings towards Fritz except him and he seemed to brush them off.
She was lucky to get a friendship for the time spent with him. "Only kidding, I wouldn't tell Fritz. I wouldn't want him freaking out." She finished, Again. She thought to herself with a grin on her face. She wouldn't lie, seeing Fritz play hero was amazing, it was one of the few reasons she found herself falling in love with him. Even though he had his moments of saying things that would likely land him in timeout if she had her way, he was still so... She wasn't sure of the word she was looking for.
she smiled."wonderful, like i said its my day off and i had to come alone. not that i don't like being alone."she said hoping she wasn't sounding desperate. vashti seemed like an inserting girl. making another friend wouldn't hurt.
she was still laughing at vashti's reaction. of course they didn't know each other that well, but she couldn't believe she actually believed her."oh my, it was only a joke. please don't tell him."she said with a nervous look on her face. she didn't know the guy very well, but he seemed like he couldn't take a joke. she had thought vashti would of taken the joke. that was only after she said she was kidding did dani sigh with relief."you had me worried there. i don't want your boyfriend yelling at me or freaking out."she said with a laugh.
it seemed like they were already on joking terms. that was good there were some that couldn't take a joke."so what do you want to look at next? i've been on the slide like three times already, but i don't mind going again."she said as she finished the last of her hot chocolate and disposed of the cup.
Vashti nodded her head in agreement. "I know what you mean." She tried comforting Danika, not favoring being alone but not being bothered by it either. Unless a person was Supernatural, they weren't likely to live nearly as long as her. She wasn't planning on telling Fritz but couldn't help but find Danika's face expression was priceless. She assured Danika that she wouldn't be telling Fritz, glad to see Danika was relaxing again. She giggled when Danika called Fritz her boy friend, though Fritz had put her in the friend zone Danika didn't need to know that and if he were to find out that Danika thought they were in a relationship that would be even more amusing. "I can't imagine him yelling at you.... though if he were to freak out maybe he would."
She knew Fritz for so long, though it was still hard to tell what exactly he would yell or freak out about, though her safety seemed to be on the top of the list of being possible. "I promise I won't be telling him though." She answered, once more trying to comfort Danika more. Vashti finished her cup of coffee and smiled over at Danika, "I got here a little while ago so I haven't seen anything besides the refreshments." She admitted somewhat embarrassed before grinning over at Danika. She followed Danika and disposed her coffee cup. "I think going down the slide would be fun." She answered after a few moments.
she could handle being alone, but sometimes you needed another person. especially when it came to events like this. she wanted to share this experience with someone. she sighed softly, maybe she was getting too sentimental. vashti speaking once more brought her back to reality. what were they just talking about. oh yes, that boyfriend of hers yelling at her."i don't know. people react different when a loved one is hurt."she told her with a nod.
those that were calm could turn angry or try to hide. it all depended on the person and what they would do in a situation. she had years of training, sure she'd be nervous, but it wouldn't be long before her instincts kick in and she settles down.
dani smiled."wonderful!"they had finished their beverages and thrown the cups away. she had mentioned the slide."oh, it goes so fast. im sure you'd enjoy it!"danika said as she started to lead the way.
Vashti couldn't help but nod her head in agreement, "I suppose you are right, but I still don't see him yelling at you." She finished, though she wouldn't be telling Fritz she couldn't help but picture his reaction if he found out about this conversation in the near future. My boy friend.... oh how I wish it was true but Fritz put me in the friend zone a while ago and I haven't been able to move from it since. She sighed from disappointment before pulling herself out of her thoughts. It wasn't long before they headed towards the slide. "Fast, hmm?" She asked, clearly excited by the idea. They would get in line, sooner or later getting to the top before it was there turn to go down the slide.
"I don't mind who goes first..." Vashti answered, more than willingly to go first or second, depending on what Danika decided. She moved to take a seat on the slide before laying back and pushed as to help her go down the slide even faster. She laughed when she stood up from the ride. "That is the most fun I had in ages." She commented before looking over at the line to see if she would want to go again. "Do you want to get in line again or was there something else you wanted to do?"
they got in line and waited till it was their turn."i've been on here like five times. you go ahead."she moved aside and let vashti go down the slide first. she watched as her friend flew down the slide. it was so thrilling. feeling the wind tousle your hair as you went over each curve.
it was her turn next. she was quick. sitting down hands on each side as she pushed herself off. she closed her eyes and enjoyed the ride. she opened her eyes right as she was about to come to a stop. she sat that for a few seconds."that last time left me a little dizzy."she said with a laugh."its so fun i told you. and it doesn't matter to me. i do want to do the maze at some point though."she said with a smile.
Vashti was happy to go down the slide first, she had waited for Danika before making her comment. "Are you okay?" She asked since Danika had said it had made her somewhat dizzy. She held her hand out to help Danika up. "Oh yeah, they had one don't they?" She had asked, interested in going through the maze too. "Lets go through the maze next." She suggested, figuring it could be pretty fun trying to find the exit. I wonder if Fritz has to work today, it might be fun to try and drag him through this maze, especially if it is hard to go through. More time with me.... She thought to herself, plotting it in her head as she walked with Danika towards the maze. "Do you think it would be mean if I tried dragging Fritz through this maze in the near future?" She asked, jokingly still not correcting Danika about Fritz being just her friend.
she giggled and took vashti's hand."thank you. i am now. i think i just stood up too fast."she said with a smile. honestly that's all it was. she stood there for a couple of minutes and everything remained still. well for the most part. things were not spinning around her anymore.
she let got of vashti's hand once she was steady. she had mentioned there were other attractions that they could go see, unless she wanted to go down the slide once more."that sounds wonderful! hopefully we don't get too lost."she said as they walked towards the maze.
she laughed softly."fritz? oh you're boyfriend. nah, girlfriends are suppose to do that sort of stuff. it would be mean if you left him alone and he was lost."she said with a nod."unless he did something mean to you first and letting him get lost is payback."she said with a playful grin."you'd be his hero if you helped him out."
