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 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!
The first entry to my third volume of written travels, and most certainly one of the more interesting ones, I first encountered Xia of the Shimmering Tide while on my way to repair an old giant’s home, later discovered to be the most grimmest of creatures, in the tree-etched farmland of the Earthen District. While I do not know her full name, I truly don’t need to, nor do I care to learn it. A stage name would suffice just fine.
The encounter.
Miss Xia is one of the few to approach me out of free will, and not to attempt something lethal. Her soul is of the conflicted nature, yet steadfast in what it is. A peculiar thing that deserves a stanza all for itself.
As for appearance, she is a petite, short individual with eyes just as if not bluer than clean ocean waters. I’m more than sure those eyes hold cold truths, similar to the cruel and cold winds of the sea. For an untrained or uncaring eye, Ms. Xia appears relatively harmless, but alas from first hand experience, I can testify the nigh exact opposite. Even more so in my case, considering my personal limits.
The conclusion.
For one that can control the waters of the world, to make it bend, twist, and burst upon command in a refined and controlled way, they will be able to command the upmost respect from even those with formidable power. Is not the body made out of some sort of water? Or the air you breathe rich with it? How about the liquids you drink to survive? Making an enemy of one such person could possibly be the most foolish thing one can do, and so of course I did the opposite.
Ms. Xia, now ally of mine for now, holds no hate nor false aggression towards me, and I the same towards her. Mysterious as she is delightfully sincere in the most strangest of ways, I’m very interested in seeing where and when this particular song finds its conclusion.
What once was possibly an innocent youth that grew to now frightening heights and stature, the multi-headed entity I will dub The Wolf is a thing of absolute chaos, I daresay even more so than my own Mother can do in a short span of time, provided she was as scattered in the head as The Wolf. While in the Coastal Area, I encountered The Wolf while looking for washed up bodies of the condemned. Nigh immediately, it attacked.
The encounter.
What is taller than small buildings, and bears more teeth than the most fiercest of beasts? That would be The Wolf, and it is The Wolf that I would not mind never meeting again, however if I so happened to cross paths with it once more, or for a final time, I will finish what I failed to end. Such an existence is a sad and truly sorrowful song, stuck on staccato, unable to decide between itself in the most unfortunate of ways. However true this is, and very true it may be, I can’t idly remain on rest while The Wolf devours children.
Appearance wise it seems to take the form of a child, or perhaps it is indeed a child possessed by evils unknown. From it’s lower area sprouts up to four large snakes of canines, each one with seemingly a different appetite. I have to gaze into the heavens to see it’s peak if it wished to stand on all fours like most mortals do.
The conclusion.
This is the unfortunate song of failure, some small being has not succeeded in controlling the corruption that plagues this former child, however the “child” itself seems to have no regret or sorrow for the actions it does, and because of that there is no reason why I should pity it further. Perhaps I should re-evaluate my all out policy...
Today I felt the most sensational of things. It was neither warm nor cold, it was simply a shiver of seemingly magical proportions that I could not pinpoint. Whatever it was, on the day of training, I found myself able to peer into Purgatory once more and take from it, using my eye of crimson.
No doubt a non-literal blessing in disguise…
As an experiment, I reached for the soul I claimed I would not allow to let go, the soul of Scabrithe the Child Killing Giant, former servant to Xia of the Shimmering Tide, and to my bewilderment, the dreadful thing appeared! I was able to easily control it to do my bidding, however I only tormented it for the remainder of the day before returning the soul to the dimension of the dead.
The ability to now use my melodic necromancy to have dominion over the things I take as my own will most certainly come in handy in the future… however I have no intent on using it casually, or if needed… for now.
