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

[attr="class","plotbg"] There's a rush of excitement running throughout Shib as his hands flail about nearby his sides while his head moved around to look for if his brother had finally popped up. He might've shown up a little earlier than needed but that was the build up of anticipation for this day coming through. Shib had been counting down the days till when this planned date would arise. It was a nice break from the grueling constant that was school and the daily homework received. A pick-me up to motivate him to work harder! He loved being with Minato despite his brothers common behavior to act a little ...inappropriate at times. [break][break] The day had been planned to spend the time shopping throughout the mail and getting the chance to stop by one of the candy stores that Shib was a big fan of. He had a weak spot regarding sweets and this was a fact his brother knew how to abuse all too well. Just a single mention of getting candy or some kind of desert had an excited sparkle show up in both of Shib's eyes. Shib turns his head to the left, eyes going wide in excitement as his cheek flush lightly in pure happiness.[break][break] "Minato! Minato... you're here!!" The genuine joy drips from his tone of voice. "I'm so excited today I might've arrived a little early, haha!"
Minato had promised Shib that they'd go too the mall, for the sake of spoiling his younger brother including to buy candy for him. Last night he had stayed at work late in an effort to get more work done, only heading home for a nap before quickly showering before putting on a fresh pair of clothes before heading towards the mall to meet Shib there. Once he arrived, he smiled as he saw Shib calling for him. He chuckled, reaching out to pat Shib on the head as he moved to stand next to him with the plans on wandering around the mall with him. "Shib, how are you?" He'd ask before adding, "Where shall we go first?"

[attr="class","plotbg"] He's beaming, his hands hand since calmed down but he's clinging to the fabric of his jeans. He adores his older brother! He was cool! Extremely hardworking too! His parents often told him how those were some of the more good parts of Minato they hoped for him to take after. "Oh! I've been good... trying to just get through school and stuff. " Shib responds postively to the pat on the head. He perks up and lets out an infectious giggle. "How about you, Minato?" [break][break]
Though that question makes Shib's head tilt as one of his fingers pointed back directly at his own chest. "Wait.... me?! Why am I the one choosing?" His hand drops down to his other as two of his fingers tapped together nervously. To be put on spot like this... he hadn't thought much about where he wanted to go yet. "Um... would it be okay if we walked around a little? I have no idea yet..."early, haha!"
Minato listened as Shib answered his question before redirecting the question right back at him. "It is good for me too." He answered, chuckling when he redirected his question back towards Shib. "Yes." He answers, nodding his head. "Because you are adorable." He smiled playfully at Shib. "Yes we can wander around until you have a place that you want to go." He answered, clearly amused by Shib. It was reasons like this, that he enjoyed spoiling Shib. "Shall we?" He asked, ready to go when Shib would be. The mall was packed with people, but they seemed too mind their own business as they passed by.
[attr="class","plotsubtext"] you make me feel special
[attr="class","plotbg"] "Is it really? Isn't your job like really tough and... uh... stuff?" He didn't know too much about what being a head of forensic entailed as that was a big word he hadn't quite gotten the grasps of just yet but he knew how much of a hard worker his brother is. "I think you're cool though! Having a job like that!" Shib flashed his brother a large smile as his hands settled back at his side. "It seems pretty important."[break][break] He shakes his head in refusal of the compliment. Calling him adorable was... a little hard to believe besides what did him having to pick had anything to do with how he was cute or not?! "I don't understand how that has anything to do with what I asked, Minato!!" He puffs his cheeks out mostly out of the embarrassment. Even if family or not receiving compliments still wasn't something Shib couldn't accept with ease. "Oh good... I can't pick on the spot like that so i'm relieved!"[break][break] The chameleon nods his head as he began to walk into the entrance of the mall at a pace he knew his brother could keep up with. It's been a while since hes last been and usually while crowded places were too much... the mall somehow was different. "It's been a while since we've come here together... isn't it, Minato?!" The both of them were busy and couldn't always just go out as they pleased... so it was why Shib cherished this moment since they planned for it for a while now.[break][break]
Minato couldn't help but smile as he listened too Shib. "It has its moments, but completely worth it in the long run." He answered in return, smiling bigger when he heard Shib's comment. "I'd like too think so." He answered, reaching up too rub the back of his neck nervously with the palm of his hand before lowering it back down too his side. He then proceeds too answer Shib with a compliment, chuckling when he heard his comment in return. "Just because it is accurate." He answered in a playful tone, enjoying this chance too tease him. Hearing Shib's comment earned another chuckle from him. "Happy too hear it." He answered in return, slowly following Shib inside the mall. "Has it? It feels too me like it was only yesterday." He teased, knowing had been so much longer than this. Yeah it really has been a while, if it isn't because I'm working it is because Shib is busy with his own life. He thought too himself, always desiring too spoil Shib if given this chance.

[attr="class","plotbg"] Shib's smile remained on his face for the longest of time. Chatting with family had this effect on him after all... although his brother had his moments of being annoying like any good older sibling would be to their younger. Shib usually had a decent connection with him and hearing him talk about work was always the coolest. "Well! I wish you the best of luck with work.... wait! I know what I can do!!" He couldn't help but turn with a bit of enthusiasm as he looked at his brother. "I'll just lend you my strength! AND energy, heheheh! So we can guarantee you are able to do work without a problem. It was a really good idea I know~~" He turned back to facing frontwards, luckily having been spared of walking into anything... or anyone. [break][break]
His smile finally cracks and he has a pout setting once where his lips were tugged into a grin. "You know I thought you were smart but you calling this accurate! Is... is... really NOT accurate! Yeah!" He definitely got him with that. Shib might even feel proud of himself for making a decent comeback for once! At least... it was what he believed and it was better for the sake of his happiness to not mention otherwise. "Haa? Just yesterdaay? Does... time really move that slowly for you, Minato? I mean..." He tries to think back on the last actual time they visited. It wasn't for that long but they did come to buy some gifts for another one of their siblings birthday... "It was a month or so ago..." The distinct sound of the inside of the mall had his eyes naturally moving to glance around. It was large... and big... and it was always hard for Shib to decide where they were going to go first.[break][break]
"Uh... um... mm...." He turned to look at Minato. "Why don't you lead the way? I feel like I always do it..." A good excuse... now hopefully his brother would take it.
Minato chuckled when he heard Shib's comment after turning around too face him as he walked backwards in front of him. He found himself watching too make sure that Shib wasn't at risk of possibly walking into anything else he planned on reaching out too stop his brother too save him from such an incident. "Thanks." He answered in return, thrilled too hear Shib's comment about lending him his strength and energy for work. Oh how he would benefit from those, but knowing that Shib felt his way gave him great joy. Shib had faced forward again, thankfully missing anybody or anything in the process as they continued walking. Shib's smile falters for a pout when he had complimented him. "You'll see someday that I'm right. I'll just wait patiently." He answered with a smile on his face as he continued too tease Shib in return. He chuckled when he heard Shib's question. "Perhaps a little bit." He agreed, trying too recall when he had been at the house last. He was pulled from his thoughts when he heard Shib's question. "Lead the way? How about we walk next too each other?" He asked in return, somewhat teasing, of course having no problem if Shib wanted too walk behind him, though, it would just mean having too check too make sure that Shib was still there.
