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.
Average in height and weight, Solstice in terms of stature is nothing impressive. However his intelligent but friendly silvery lilac eyes are another thing entirely. He has a messy array of ashy grey-white hair, in which two perked ears of a matching color rest, easily showcasing every emotion he happens to be feeling. A smooth black collar rests snug around his throat.
Solstice’s animal form is that of a border collie. With a streamlined figure, button ears, a long pointed snout, and the classic intense eyes meant to intimidate other animals into freezing in a staredown, he is a beauty. He has thick, silken fine fur in the classic ebony and white, though the white glistens more silvery than normal white. A black leather collar rests around his neck.
NEGATIVE - skittish (loud noises) - hyperness prone - doesn’t trust once it’s been broken - high-strung - anxious in big crowds
abilities
Enhanced smell/hearing: Natural.
Enhanced Speed: Mastered.
Shield Creation: Advanced.
Healing: Intermediate.

backstory
Solstice was born to a shifter family long renowned for winning different competitions. Often regarded as a “champion bloodline” amongst familiars, though his parents wanted him to live a more normal life than they had - his mother’s master often treating her more like a common animal than a sentient person. He was educated and enrolled into school, but he also underwent training since he had such a high well-spring of energy.
Solstice took to a social life like a fish to water - but with that came limitations. His hearing is very sensitive, loud noises often hurting his ears and leaving his hearing ringing, large crowds fraying his nerves and leaving him anxious and jumpy. Over time he has learned how to handle the crowd anxiety to a manageable level.
misc
*Solstice doesn’t like fast food, preferring home cooked meals. *Solstice’s ears perk up when excited or happy. *Solstice is affectionate, and loves being patted, having his ears scratched, and loves giving hugs or cuddles in dog form. *Solstice has a natural herding instinct, and can also do endurance courses, obstacle courses, and tricks in canine form. He has a high amount of energy - so he has to exercise quite a bit. *Solstice is an aries.
