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.
The kingdom was standing strong, even in this trying time. He was doing his hardest to keep the dangers and darkness at bay by joining raids and skirmishes from time to time, though as of late he had been assigned to prioritizing protection over the princess. He believes that he was chosen specifically for this purpose due to the fact they had already interacted several times, and he had always been calmer in her presence. He doesn’t know why, but he feels soothed whenever he’s around her.
While he was dedicated to his task of protecting the kingdom, and feared not the danger or savageries of war, he found that he wasn’t displeased by a changed assignment. There was much less danger or conflict here at the center, but more time spent with her - well, it was enough to almost make him feel spoiled. Her presence affects him instantly, the moment he sees her beautiful face he dips his head into a bow, offering his hand for her to take. He was supposed to escort her to wherever she was going today, and he didn’t mind in the slightest.
”I’ve been told that I was to stay at your side from now on..” His voice is measured, careful. There were still others around, though there’s a fondness lingering in his eyes that doesn’t match the professionalism of his words. After he was sure the attention on them had ceased at least for a moment, a smile curled more genuinely over his face. In a lower, warmer voice he added, ”It’s good to see you again.” Adelina was precious to him, despite her status as far beyond his station. It might not ever be feasible to hold her hand just because he wanted to, it wouldn’t be safe to ever tell her how he feels - but he can dream.
If she took his hand, his hold would be gentle, as if holding something delicate and cherished. He would help her down that final step so she wouldn’t trip up or have to struggle, and though he wouldn’t want to let go after, he would allow his hand to slowly drop back to his side. He didn’t want them to notice the way she lit up his day more than the sun and moon combined, or the way her eyes glittered like stars in a dark and fathomless sky. ”Where are we off to today?” If only .... if only it was somewhere like a field full of dandelions, where he could make wishes. Or a grassy hillside where the rest of the world didn’t exist.
I WISH TO BE FORGIVEN—BY YOUR GAZE, YOUR FINGERTIPS, YOUR EVERYTHING. (MY WORLD IS GAINING COLORS AS IT UNRAVELS BEFORE ME.) I WANT TO PARTAKE IN YOUR JOY, YOUR HAPPINESS, YOUR EVERYTHING. (RIGHT NOW, I FEEL AS IF I’M CAPABLE OF ANYTHING…)
In this time of adversity the royals of this kingdom had needed their poster child to represent that all was calm and being handled when the truth of the matter was their land and world had been undergoing negative changes that constantly effected them on a day to day basis. The only reason most events that took place slipped under the knowledge of their citizens were for the hard working army her kingdom has possessed. Though Adelina as the princess had always taken the hearts of their citizens with the graceful smile she possessed; it soothed their worries and fears. Rumors did spread despite their efforts and it was this exact reason why Adelina had been handed the platter that was being their poster child.
Going out for a leisure stroll herself would be enough to alert her civilians that if she dared to roam the streets that the threat was nothing of major value... but the reality of this situation couldn't be the exact opposite. The terror that overcame her at the thought of being at risk was consuming but Adelina had no choice but to play a brave face here. As much as she wished to cower in fear... she couldn't. It was how the princess had come to rely on the knight she personally extended and voiced her desires of being her personal guard. A capable male who eased down those fears and made her able to face the world outside of the comforts of the castle. If he was there.... she had the strength.
"Yes... I made the request personally myself." Her eyes are peering between the ground and his face; watching it closely for the sake of analyzing. Was he unhappy with this decision? The two had a good connection but possibly... there was the fact he could've had mixed feelings about her not reaching out first. "I do hope you don't mind it though... In these times, you of all people know how dangerous me going out on my own is." She smiles politely but her eyes told all what her smiled did it's best to shield. "I was expected to pick one out but truthfully... I don't have a bond like I have with you... with anyone else." Her smile turns more genuine and there dared to be even a hint of a small flush. "I feel safe with you so it is why I'll be counting you from now on, Khonsu." Her hands grasped the silky fabric of her skirt to give him a small curtsey.
"Mm..." Her head turned in the direction of the window. "I was given the order that I must go out to town and visit our people... a general walk around to sooth nerves." She smiles faintly as her her head turned to look back at him. The looming risks... they existed but Adelina took in a deep breath. "The risks are high but it's of great importance to make sure everyone can rest easy." She slowly made her way on over to him, her hand gently placing on his shoulder. "I'm counting on you, Khonsu."
Her hand left her shoulder while she took hold of her bag. "Though... there are some perks to going around... we can go shopping." She hums with a small smile. "I'll get you a few things but you have to keep it a secret between us, alright?"
