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

Otto had traveled from London too travel around the world. It had taken him a while too figure out where Lia had gone, but had found himself standing in Lorsette, having gotten wind that this was the place she was currently staying at. It had been so long since he had last seen her, upset that she had left without telling him. He had mixed feelings upon seeing her again, what he would say too her. On the one hand, he was hopeful that she would be the same as when she had left him, on the other, he couldn't help but believe there too be a small chance of it not being the case. Which left him with one option, encouraging her too come back too London with him. He had attempted too talk with himself on how he would encourage her too come back, try and he might, he despised the words he wanted too say with her. All sounded like agency wasn't an option and though he couldn't help but believe Lia might not mind since it was him, he still cared about the fact of being behind forcing her too do anything. Slowly he walked towards the church, reaching out too open the door, pausing because he hated being here, it made him feel uncomfortable.
[attr="class","rmtext"]She wasn't prepared for the view her eyes would take in when she opened the door. Surprised filled her and immediately she found herself taking a few steps back with the averting of her gaze almost immediately. Memories of old times flood her mind, her heart. Thoughts and feelings she felt she long discard arise so easily within her as if they never really vanished but Lia swallows thickly. Her hands grasps the fabric of her garbs as she slowly turned to face the man she loved, the man she had ran away from all those years ago.
So many questions filled her mind and yet nothing had came out of her. She loved him dearly but Lia didn't regret the decision. The life she had here made her happy, the impact she made not only on her own life but on the ones of others also made her feel strongly. Nothing like she ever did in the past but the reminder that she was once this person was right here in front of her. "Otto..." She whispers softly, mumbling his name alone made her heartache. "How... did you find me? Find this?" She had cut all contact with everyone so the fact he found her here... how did he achieve this? It was one of the many questions swarming her mind. Both happiness and unease consumed him. Having him here made her happy... having him here made her anxious.
What did he want? Why did he appear... after all this time?
Otto stood still as he watched as the door opened and there Lia was, standing just in front of him. She held a surprised expression on her face, taking a few steps away from him. The action made his chest hurt slightly, confused on why she would back away from him like that. The reaction, it wasn't one he had been expecting at all, no, he had believed Lia too be happy too see him again and yet here she was, keeping distance from him. Aren't you happy too see me? He thought too himself, about too have more thoughts but was interrupted by her question. Oh how he wanted too answer her questions but he found himself silent instead. If she isn't happy too see me, answering would only give her information on how she could escape from me again. He thought too himself, slowly he moved too take a step towards her. "I searched." He answered, knowing vague might give her a clue that he had no intention on answering the question. But then again, he couldn't bring himself too worry about this right at the moment. "All that matters is that I'm here now, Lia." He answered her, slowly forming a smile on his lips. Oh how he missed this, being in her presence.
[attr="class","rmtext"]Seeing him take that step forward had both a feeling of wanting to take the needed steps to close the distance between them herself but also there was the urge to take another step backwards. Both joy and fear existed within her mutually in this moment. His responses had her feeling unsatisfied, unsure if she truly had all of the answers she needed. She hadn't given in to the urge to move back after he came in closer, she hadn't even been paying attention to anything else. Her eyes were drawn to his face, his figure. Retaking in his appearance, a reminder of what the man she loved looked like. The familiar gaze has her shivering and yet she tries to hide it as her hands continued to grasp onto her clothing tightly. "For how long had you been searching?" She never imagined he'd go this far but the fact he did. That fact alone...
He... cared for her that much?
"You're here..." The smile makes her gasp but slowly does her gaze soften. She couldn't turn him away, she couldn't continue to put up this fight. Otto was everything to her, the greatest sacrifice she had to make but now that he was here before her. She couldn't help how she slowly moved in closer, how her hand reached out to gently rest against his arm. "Otto..." She repeats his name softly, almost in a whisper. "It's been so long..." Was it wrong for her to want to take this final step to close the full distance? To dare even hug him? She felt conflicted. She was the one who ran, she was the one who disappeared and yet every fiber within her was screaming to cling to him. "I never thought I'd get to see you again... I-... I..." She didn't know where to start with this.
