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!
Forget me not... Nicolas' gaze narrowed as he glanced down at the slip of paper his second father had given him. Kenneth had ordered a bouquet of black baccara roses. It was unexpected and placed entirely on his shoulders whether he wanted to pick them up or not. Kenneth had always been like that since as long as he could remember. Most would find it tiring, but he had grown desensitised to it and at times complimented the fact that at least one was never bored. However...he was thankful he lacked any similarities to his second father with being all over the place with his wants.
The teen eventually found the store he was looking for and stepped inside only to be attacked by a barrage of flower smells. It was so thick and powerful that he crinkled his nose somewhat. He wasn't use to it especially when it was winter outside. Any plant life was currently dead but this place was littered with colour. Nicolas stepped deeper into the store and began patting down his pants which were coated in snow.
It was freezing and miserable outside...he hated winter. If his clothes could stand being set ablaze then he would have done so just to keep warm. The thought of a demon torch walking around outside was an amusing image, but the thought quickly passed his mind when he caught sight of a female worker. He didn't think much of their gender and in fact he would have found it weird if anything but a female was working at this place. Flowers were for the most part a girl thing.
"I'm here for an order," he told her and stepped forward to hand her the little slip of paper.
Tag:imogen gwin Notes: Hopefully this is all right! I also wanted to know if she has her wings out or not. I wasn't sure so I didn't add it yet in my post. Nicolas' horns are out. ♥

THIS WILL BE THE DAY,
forget me not settled in its usual morning routine. imogen being the first to arrive and letting in the workers who were assigned for the shift.
and there, the day droned on. the usual mundane routine. this was what she wanted -- a store reminding her that there can be a second chance for someone like her and her damned past.
"what do you mean the order isn't finished?" she hissed through her teeth. a annoyed sigh escaped her lips as she looked intently on the staff work. "never mind about your mistake, take this as a lesson."
she felt a shiver run up her spine, the cool air making its way inside. this was a day to fear, when a customer comes in and the order is not ready. imogen let out another sigh before dismissing the worker.
"please do not forget next time, i'll handle it as soon as i can," she moved behind the counter as she noticed someone coming in. i'll have retrain everyone again, this is ridiculous.
"may i ask for who, sir?" she looked over to him. her hands on the counter, a decent smile on her lips. better than her
[ note: if you've seen rwby, there was a move called flower power and i just laughed at the title for a while haha ]
Nicolas heard a bit of commotion in the back, but nothing he could personally make out and it was only a few seconds before a huge ass woman stepped out in front of him. His chin lifted and he naturally grew tense upon seeing her. Tall women...an enigma when it came to bantering between high school males. They loved their women tall but couldn't wrap their heads around why women in return wouldn't just settle for short guys. Personally, Nicolas wouldn't want a partner...male or female to be taller than him. The reminder of his 'friends' back in Ramstead Academy was an irritating one. They were all nothing but parasites...
"May I ask for who, sir?" She spoke up to him her yellow eyes narrowing down on him with unconscious intensity due to her height. His gaze lowered over her briefly before he pushed the paper with the information more towards her.
"Kenneth," he answered regardless and drew his hand away from the counter. "You got a room in here for hex teleportation?" He asked his voice somewhat gruff and his expression border-lining standoffish.
The flowers would be damaged if he took them outside. He imagined they'd survive the trip, but part of him didn't want to go back out into the freezing weather. It was a long shot asking for such a service, back within Cornerbrook before it was demolished by terrors...the place was mostly hell species and so hex rooms were as common as bathrooms.
Lorsette boasted about 'diversity' and if that was true then the place would have taken something like that into consideration. But the dirty blonde wouldn't hold is breath on it...in fact it really was a pointless question.
'Whatever,' he thought to himself and personally didn't care.
Tag:imogen gwin Notes: I've never seen RWBY, but it's great that the title made you laugh. I also enjoyed seeing Imogen interact with the staff. I wonder how our thread will go.

THIS WILL BE THE DAY,
imogen felt a headache -- somehow, she knew this would happen. what next? a large blizzard was going to hit lorsette in a matter of days? who knows. with her face in a neutral look, the older woman smiled uncertainly. "i'm sorry sir, my employees has misplaced the order and i just saw it today, if you don't mind on waiting for a while, i can have it finished in a couple of minutes. you don't need to pay for it, it'll be on the house."
the question of an extra room for the hex teleportation surprised her even though it shouldn't have. a frown played on her lips before nodding. "there is one, i'll have to ask my employee to clean it before you use it, no one usually asks for it."
stepping away from the counter, hands reaching for a piece of paper with the order she scanned it for a few moments before nodding. "there's a lounge right over there," she pointed towards the huge window of the store. "if you'd like i can bring some coffee or tea for you while you wait."
lord if you can hear me, just make this day over with already, she tried not to sigh in front of the customer. the frustration of a single employee not doing their job was too hectic, too problematic.
[notes: sorry for the late reply! but omg, you should watch rwby, it's pretty great haha]
The woman stared down at him her expression still neutral and it still was intimidating having a female tower over him. But the dirty blonde would never admit it himself. She then smiled slightly strained as she began to explain and apologise immensely for their error. It made the teen suspicious and he was beginning to wonder if Kenneth had actually come here himself and given them all a hard time. It would explain why they were giving him the product completely free. Kenneth could be confrontational and he often proudly took credit for Nicolas' own similiar trait to him...not that the teen completely agreed with the two of them being 'identical'.
His lips parted to speak up about the subject, but he fell silent once more when she explain that there was a hex room, but it was currently dirty. It was probably being used for storage and it was something he had stumbled across that before. Nicolas wouldn't be coming back there anytime soon (or at least that's what he thought) and so the idea of them cleaning the entire room out for just him was an a**hole move, but he didn't care. He wasn't going to back down from his request. All hex rooms should be readily available for a demon 'friendly' city at all times. The thought brought a firm frown to his face because he was being stubbornly passionate about it...or bullheaded. Regardless, he said nothing on that particular matter and instead completely welcomed the idea of something hot to drink.
"Yes. please." He muttered out revealing a little bit too much his desperation for something warm. "Uh...any tea you got, no sugar or milk." He told her, but then actually paused from walking away.
"Also, not sure if my father gave you a hard time or not about getting the flowers. But I'll pay the full price I don't care about waiting. It's warm in here anyways," he gave a light shrug as he stuffed his hands in his pockets...and surprisingly was awkward with telling her he'd pay. She was a giant and a woman both of which he didn't have a whole bunch of experience with...
Tag:imogen gwin Notes: No worries about the wait. ♥ And sadly I've never been able to get into anime ^^;, but I'll have to read over RWBY's plot and catch the first episode to see what I think!
