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

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.

he wasn't sure why, but he enjoyed teasing her. this wasn't going to end well. so it was his first time doing bodyguard duty, he couldn't mess this up. this was after all only going to last so long. it would be fine. he just needed to survive the six months and then he could go back to a real job. he had asked her the address. sure he had it somewhere in his files and figured he could of dug out that information himself, but she was conveniently close by. he was not expecting her to snatch away his phone. once she had returned his phone he double check the time and price and hung up."thanks princess!"he called out to her as she walked away.
it would be around twenty five or so minutes before the pizza would arrive. he figured he had time to take a quick shower and get into more comfortable clothing. after dinner he was ready to go to sleep. if anything he could go to sleep right now, but first pizza. after getting out of the shower and changing into a tee and black sweatpants he left his room. hearing the door bell ring for a second time he called out he was on his way.
he paid the delivery person and set the two boxes on the counter. searching in the kitchen for plates he brought down two. he wasn't going to be rude and eat in front of her, the least he could do was offer her a slice. though he wasn't sure what she preferred. on his plate was two slices of ham and pineapple pizza and on hers was regular pepperoni."dinner time."he called out to her. if she wouldn't come to him. he would just go to her.
All it took was only a few minutes and she was in the zone where she was only interested in her work and nothing else mattered to her. She didn't hear the doorbell ring but she wasn't trying to focus on it anyway. She didn't notice Gideon rushing down the hall calling out how he would answer the door and any possible conversation he had with the delivery person was missed by her because she was too busy working on the outfits in front of her. Her stomach growled but she ignored it, determined to get this outfit done by tonight so that she could place it in the second spare room to send off to her parents with the rest of her finished designs. Gideon had said it was dinner time but she didn't hear him. Almost done.......... She thought to herself as she slowly finished stitching the fabric together. Once it was completely she set her master piece on her desk to just look it over.
It is finally done.... and it is perfect.... She thought to herself, somewhat amused at her handy work. I have really out done myself this time. She thought to herself as she carefully picked it up from her desk, placing it on a hanger as she placed it on the rang with the other outfits that were finished. She would move the whole rack in the other room later, for now she wanted to start on another project so she grabbed another outfit and took it off of the hanger before laying it across her desk to get a good look at it.
he waited for around five minutes and then he made his move. it seemed like she wasn't going to eat. it was one of the things her parents worried about. that she was getting enough rest, eating and that she wasn't overworking. he was starting to this he was less of a bodyguard and more like a nanny.
he slowly made his way towards her room. it took him a couple tries to find the right room. eventually he found her. he found her staring at something at her desk. gideon simply put the plate of food down."dinner time princess."he says as he takes his pizza and starts eating.
Demetria had been staring at the outfit that she hadn't noticed Gideon walking into her room with her dinner in his hand, though placing the plate on her desk and making his comment had startled her and she found herself frowning at him. "Not the outfit...." She lifted the plate of food off of the desk to collect the outfit before putting the plate back on the desk to hold it up to make sure there wasn't any random stains on it before sighing with relief. Though there hadn't been any pizza stains on it yet, that had been a close call. She grabbed the hanger to place the outfit on it before placing it on the hanger rack in the corner of her room before looking over at Gideon.
"It isn't Princess, it is Ms. Saito or Demetria, or Demy...." There was nothing that she hated more than being called a name that made her feel like others expected her to be bossy or something, or at the very least not very responsible for her own well being which would require another to take charge over her. She glanced over at the desk to see the pizza on the plate once more, it wasn't that she didn't like pizza, it was just that she had work to do and she had to put it on hold because that stupid plate was in her way.
gideon couldn't help but laugh at her reaction. he hadn't meant to place it on anything she was working on, but the way she fiddled around with the plate and the garment. it was obvious to see she cared more about clothing than her own well being. once he was done laughing he proceeded to continue eating the contents on his plate.
he watched her eyeing the plate."at least take a bite. i can leave if you don't want to have dinner with me. im not really used to eating by myself."he told her, giving out a bit too much information out than he meant to. if he wasn't having ihhs meals with his mom. it would be with a friend..
Demetria had been surprised by his offer, feeling slightly bad that she had given him such a hard time. For some reason, hearing his confession just made her want to go over at hug him but she didn't understand the feeling of why. "I guess I tend to just get too caught up in my work to notice anything else." She answered after a moment of being silent. On the one hand, she had no problem eating in her room, though it was somewhat weird having Gideon in her room. She reached out to pick up the plate before lifting the pizza up to eat it. She wasn't sure if it would be a bright move to mention that it was nicer eating with somebody else in the room. The last thing she wanted was for Gideon to start feeling sorry for her, or getting the wrong idea in general.
After the slice of pizza was gone, she would carry the plate out of her room to place it in the sink before rinsing her hands and face of the pizza stains. One slice was enough, maybe not for one to be healthy but she didn't have a huge appetite to begin with. "I don't mind you choosing to eat with me. I think it sounds nice." She was trying to be friendly, but it came out as if she wanted to be around him the whole time as if she was clingy and she felt a great need in slapping herself in the face for not making it more clear that they would only be friends.
what did he say that for? of course there have been times that he had eaten alone. he continued to eat his slice. he wasn't sure if he was going to keep standing while he ate or if he was going to sit. he wasn't planning on sitting on the floor. he hadn't noticed any other chairs so with plate in hand he walked himself over to her bed and sat down.
after all she hadn't kicked him out. they ate in silence. maybe he should of eaten by himself. while he ate he looked around the room seeing the clothing. he almost didn't notice her walking out. he followed her soon after, but unlike her he grabbed another slice of pizza."don't think i'll be delivering your food to your room everyday."he said with a laugh.
Demetria didn't have a problem with eating in silence, in fact it made things a whole lot easier for her. She had noticed Gideon move to sit on her bed, though she chose to ignore it because he was only likely looking for a place to sit. She chose to stand because most days when she was working it was while was sitting so it had been a nice change. She glanced over to see Gideon had followed her out of the room, grabbing another slice of pizza unlike her, who chose to set her plate in the sink to deal with later. She smiled at his comment, "Is that so? Well good luck reminding me to eat then." It was a joke, but in all honestly, she got so caught up in her work, he would come to see the truth in that comment.
She wasn't sure if it would be better to stay in the kitchen with him or head back into her room to continue working, it wasn't like she was going to sleep anytime soon. It was weird to have so many different options when work was supposed to be the only thing on her mind. "When your done, just stick the plate in the sink. I'll clean it later." Or at least when she got around to doing the dishes because she rarely stepped away from her work to focus on other things. After a few moments she decided to go back into her room, it wasn't like she was eating so he was still technically eating alone.... and it felt weird standing in the kitchen not doing anything.
he couldn't help but smirk at her comment. He wasn't going to make a habit of coming into her room. The last thing he wanted was foe her to get the wrong idea. This was strictly business. Nothing more and nothing less. He watched her set the plate in the sink and just stand there while he ate the slice of pizza he had picked up. He chuckled softly at her words."some how I dont believe that will happen."he wiped his mouth and put his own plate in the sink. There was plenty left and he figured he would put it away now before he would head off to bed. He cleaned up and she eventually left. He didn't leave the kitchen till the plates were washed, dried and put away. He went and brushed his teeth before stopping by her room once more."goodnight. I shall see you in the morning."with that he left and returned to his room for the night.
