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
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.
i don't remember when the last time it was since i had this dream. it's been a few months.[break][break]
it's been a while since it's gotten me this bad.[break][break]
even now am i barely managing to make this illegible. I was shaking a lot more when i woke up. i wonder why my mind likes to plague me. a moment of time passes. a glimpse of hope of shines down upon me and then i'm grabbed by the neck and choked until i'm wheezing for a single grasp of air.[break][break]
i'm not a weak person.[break][break]
i'm not fragile. i've never been.[break][break]
and yet, these things plague me and punch all that strength out of me. thinking about how my biggest vulnerablity is related to him makes me... tremble. i hate him. i hate him.[break][break]
i want him dead. i want him to die.[break][break]
but[break][break]
the worse thing is i miss him. i have no one else. i have nothing else. i'm just a raging machine of trauma and repressed emotion. the one i hate with every inch of me has to be the one that plagues my every thought, even my dreams.[break][break]
i want him to suffer the same way i did. i want him to change his mind and come back.[break][break]
i hate him. and yet, i ... [break][break] i don't think today will be a good day.[break][break]
Life hasn't been any better than this. Everything I've dreamed of for a long time has finally become a reality. My life has been going up hill and you think I would feel beyond happy. I would be jumping for joy but... it just feels like nothing's changed other than occasional happiness. Thalassa is back in my life... he's living with me again and... we'll be together. It should be something joyous but... [break][break]
For long have I dreamed of being reunited and it's going as I always wanted but the time in which we're away is destroying me piece by piece. I realized I'm not stable and okay with this as I thought I was. Who's to say he just won't walk out on me again? Who's to say someone else wouldn't come and wisk him away. I'm not there with him to make sure he doesn't leave... [break][break]
Losing him destroyed me. [break][break]
He didn't do it of his own accord... but... for some reason I can't forgive him. I can't see him fully the same way I did before. I doubt every little move or decision he makes. I think instinctively I'm expecting him to go at any moment in anytime so I'm doing all I can to make sure when it happens I don't actually break in half.[break][break]
It's not even about me right now either. Thalassa's problems... are more important than me or anything I could go through. He lost everything and me of all people I know what that's like. I don't want him to be alone... and yet I have conflicting thoughts. Being around him feels suffocating at times. I can't think about anything but how if he really wanted he could just walk out on me all again. I feel awful for this. [break][break]
It's not even the worse thoughts I've had about this. I love him but he also singlehandedly has so much power over me in this way that I'm stressing out nearly everyday we're apart. It's not healthy but... I can't take about this. Not now. Not anytime soon... although... the price of that. I'm scared what will happen to me. [break][break]
I know I can't keep doing this. I know this very well but I'm going to have to push myself even if it costs me big.
