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

Summer 2024
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.
Since the wonderful members of TDOM enjoy the site enough to play around on it, this thread is to assist with the site's tidying! Functionality is important and we want to make the site functional even if its activity will be minimal at best!
my clothes still smell like you, and all the photographs say you’re still young. i pretend i’m not hurt and go about the world like i’m havin’ fun
this unexpected date had actually been fun. not that she didn't have fun when she was with bell. he was at the top of her list as someone she would have fun with no matter what they ended up doing. the movie had been decent at best, would she recommend it. yes. this night was from over. after all he had promised to drink her under the table and she wouldn't be saying no to that challenge."i know you said no, but we should of messed with your roommate a bit more."she said with a laugh. knowing full well, that it probably wouldn't end well for bell. of course she had only been teasing.
it didn't take them too long to get to the crown after the movie had finished. while they made it to the crown she talked about her favorite parts and the jump scares that had managed to catch her off guard. she loved scary movies and she felt like she'd seen so many that most were becoming highly predictable. this was started off the same, but it had its twist which she liked. she kept seconding guessing herself and that made the movie even better.
once inside she glanced around."table or counter. or are you literally going to drink me under the table?"she laughed. honestly it didn't matter to her where they sat down. she was already thinking about her first beverage. [break]

How would Bell describe a lovely woman like Averie Jones? Well, with confidence, he would say that she was a real treat to be around, and a hen with exceptional taste. She was the full package, complete with good looks and a wicked sense of humor. You could never go wrong with a combination like that! There was nothing more attractive in Bell’s eyes than a hen that could not only take a joke but dish them out as well. This gorgeous dragon was certainly better than the usual feathered company he kept; not that he would ever compare her to another bird, she was much more than that. The familiar would even go as far as to say that she was someone he heavily relied on, not only for entertainment, but friendship also. Even if he was knee-deep in whatever kind of shit life threw at him, he could always rely on Averie to put a bright smile on his face. She was good company. It really helped that their personalities melded well - which was something Bell had trouble with. There weren’t many people who could put up with a scrappy cockerel like him, but thankfully a confident bombshell like Averie could handle his challenging persona. [break][break] When the dragon accepted his proposal for a date, Bell was absolutely elated to say the least. It was a shame, however, that this outing would be spearheaded by a pointless challenge that he initiated. This was a contest that Bell was sure he would lose - crash and burn style. The familiar was lacking when it came to holding his alcohol but, being the competitive idiot that he was, would challenge the woman to a drink off after they had their fun at the movies. [break][break] The flick was fine, though Bell was just happy she enjoyed it. It warmed his heart hearing what she liked about the movie. He felt the same when it came to jump scares. It did not matter how tough he was, they would get him every damn time. They would definitely have to do it again sometime. [break][break] Averie once again brought up the roommate situation as they headed to the bar for drinks. Walking alongside her with a red wing at her back, the familiar groaned when she joked around about messing with his roomie. With a sassy eye roll, Bell pursed his lips. “Okay, Fine. Only if you promise you’ll attend my funeral and say something nice about me.” He then grinned from ear to ear, stirred up the best impression of a woman's voice that he could muster, and said, “He was the most handsome man I've ever met!” A laugh soon followed, and he continued with, “Lordy, heaven just received another angel.” Surly, with the way Bell was living his life, the only things attending his funeral would be hungry vultures and maggots. [break][break] “Oh, and you gotta cry like you mean it too!” [break][break] As they made it through the front door of The Golden Crown, Averie asked where he would like to sit. Bell did have a preference with this sort of thing, but only because of his wings. Tables and booths were a bit uncomfortable, though they definitely were not a dealbreaker. It would be sad if he could take a beating from a lycan but not be able to sit at a table for a few hours. Bell scratched his goatee before replying, “I’d prefer the counter, but I can drink you under either one, sweetheart. You choose.” For someone who really had no business drinking someone else under a table, he certainly was playing it off well. She liked a challenge, he’d do his damnedest to give her one. Walking up to the counter, he flashed his ID to the bartender before glancing over his shoulder, folding his wing in slightly he asked, “What’ll ya’ have, Averie?”

it felt like it had been quite sometime since she had last gone out with bell. didn't matter what they were doing or where they were at. they always managed to have fun. coincidentally hadn't they met at this same bar they were going to now? she wasn't going to deny that he had caught her eye the first time they met. he was rather refreshing, said what was on his mind, he was great. it was probably why they got along so well.
she loved to tease him, he was such a good sport. she laughed as she brought up the whole roommate thing up again. it would of been entertaining to say the least, not that she ever wanted real harm to come to bell. his voice went a little higher as he spoke."you think i sound like that? so rude."she laughed as she rolled her eyes as he continued."i should write this down. i mean you're not wrong. how much crying are we talking about? like silent tears that lead up to a full on sob, enough for me that i like have to be carried out of the room or would that be too much?"she said with a laugh of her own."as if. you better not leave me, i'll hurt you if you do. so leave your roommate alone my angel."she said with a playful smile.
averie nodded at the mention of the counter."i can't wait to see that darling, counter sounds good me."she said as they headed in that direction."i don't know, maybe something sweet. what are you getting?" [break]

“Well, it’s not my fault that you totally sound like that.” He teased, sticking his tongue out at her as he sat on the bar stool. He was happy she decided to go with the counter instead of the booth. Excellent choice. [break][break] “Hah, yeah-yeah!” This imaginary funeral eulogy had Bell in stitches, the familiar hadn’t laughed this hard in a long time. He knew he could count on Averie to deliver something truly humorous to any given situation. Bell beamed, “Listen, at my funeral too much is never enough! You gotta build up to a gross sob, then get real crazy about it. I’m talkin’ along the lines of having to be carried away after you throw yourself into my casket. Y’know, the good soap opera shit.” Bell let out another hardy laugh. It wasn’t until the dragon spoke again that Bell’s cackle slowly tapered off to silence, her words hit him hard, like a ton of bricks. His wings fluffed up slightly upon hearing her say, you better not leave me, and my angel. There was a part of Bell that was touched by what she said. No one had ever told him anything like that before, joking or otherwise. Slowly, a warm smile worms its way onto his features. “I’ll make sure I stick around...just for you, babe.” He then gave her a playful wink. [break][break] “Hmm, I'm not sure what I’m gonna get just yet.” As the familiar looked over the drink options, he extended a red wing and patted the bar stool next to him lightly. It was a silent invitation to have her sit with him while he continued to look over the menu. His hen wanted something sweet, so perhaps a rum mix would work? Now that she mentioned it, he could go for something sweet as well. While looking over the available drinks asked, “So, what have you been up to lil’ hen? I feel like it’s been an eternity since we last hung out like this, which is a damn shame, really.” He then huffed a laugh. “It should be illegal.”

averie rolled her eyes, but started laughing just the same."is that how i get you to stick around? my alluring voice. good to know."she said as she took a seat next to him. you couldn't go wrong with the counter. sure maybe if you didn't want random people talking to you that could be a problem, but hey maybe you could get a free drink out of the ordeal. on the bright side the stools were the ones that spun. so that was always fun!
"maybe i should really start to write this down. so less is not more in this situation. got it."she started laughing even more. could you picture it. having to be dragged away from the casket."you know i'm probably going to have to do some sort of eye makeup. with all that crying going on it will be more dramatic with mascara and eyeliner streaming down my face. what if they tip it over while they are trying to pull me off? i should be shouting how we should of gone together to make it even more dramatic. or maybe as a final touch i should set something on fire, on accident of course."as much fun as this was, she really hoped it wouldn't happen for a long time. she didn't have too many friends and the ones she had she wanted to be with for a long time.
she smiled."aw, that makes me feel super special and you better. i should get that in writing. i'll pester you if you don't keep your word."it was difficult to be aware that you could outlive your friends. it's probably why she didn't like to think about it much or when she did it could be made fun of."dude i haven't even had a drink yet and i'm getting all emotional."
she scooted closer to peek at the drink menu he was holding. as if she was going to try something new. she usually stuck to her favorites, but she did want to try something new eventually."it really has, i need to steal you away from your roommate more often."she said with a laugh."not much honestly, just week has just been nothing but work. what about you? you know you're more than welcome to drop by anytime."
