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.

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!
here was no recognition in his eyes and Josuah immediately looked down feeling anger at that reality. He gave a nod when the boy spoke, stating that he didn't have much interaction with his mother. His jaw tightened and stories he had read of soulmates being kept apart on purpose began to flood his mind.
"This necklace belongs to you..." he began, reaching inside to withdraw it, but there was a strain in his speech. "But you never gave it to me did you..." he whispered and felt himself tremble somewhat.
He was happy to have him here now, but things he had held onto for years...were being shattered and it hurt. "I would have died without this..." Josuah revealed quietly.
“This necklace belongs to you…” Josuah withdrew the beautiful artifact from where he kept it hidden underneath his clothes, and the sight of it sent a shiver rolling down his petite body. Goosebumps rose as well as a… flustered sort of feeling. However, he was shocked away from the sensations the necklace brought him when he heard Josuah’s accusation against him; “But you never gave it to me, did you…?”
Brendon started toward him, despite being able to already see the necklace in vivid clarity.

osuah grew tense when the boy approached, his eyes lifted up to his as he purposely stood right in front of him. His hold against the necklace tightened and he...unconsciously pulled from it.
"I..." he began, feeling the urgency to warn Brendon. "I'm a Procubi..." he whispered lowering his gaze in shame. "My species is supposed to feed on others to live..."
When he stopped in front of Josuah he could immediately feel the way he greedily began to drink from the necklace, taking and consuming his essence from within it. His posture grew rigid at his nearness and all of a sudden he was telling him in an urgent manner, “I… I’m a Procubi. My species is supposed to feed on others to live…”
Brendon’s eyes widened and his words seemed to directly affect his heart. He could see the way he was clutching at his necklace, and he could see the hunger in his eyes now as they reflected the image of him within his irises. He hadn’t… gotten the necklace himself and neither had he chosen him to be the one he took from.
The necklace had found him, and Josuah had thought… had thought that he had purposely given it to him, since it was overflowing with his essence and gifting him his energy. He could feel the tint of heat accumulating in his cheeks, as it made him flustered, but he understood too… that the situation was more grave than that.
He was really hungry, a lot more than he could have possibly known. “I want you to take my energy.” He told him, his heart thumping. He… wasn’t sure how he had gotten to where he was now, but Brendon was starting to wonder if he had gotten himself the position of his guardian because of his need for him.

e was so tense that it physically hurt, his eyes were trained on the boy's shoes as he stayed so close, teasing him. But Josuah was still scared...scared of what would happen. He had gone not days, but years without being properly fed and now if they touched...what would become of his other half. His fear was unreasonable considering what they were to each other, but that didn't make it go away.
A forced shudder left him, exposing his desperation the moment Brendon offered himself to him. But Josuah couldn't stand it, he lifted, quickly moving away from the male with wide eyes as his body trembled and his hand tightened against Brendon's artifact.
He shuddered with desire and need and Brendon felt his heart go out to him. He felt as though he had been… blind to his struggles. Blinded by what had been going on and his awful disguise. But, at the same time he felt nervous… nervous to be giving himself and allowing a stranger, essentially, to feed from him.
But Josuah surprised him when he abruptly stood from the chair, and when he started to try and step away, Brendon reached out, grasping onto him. “You have to feed from me, Josuah.” He insisted with his own need, and pounding heart.

sound escaped him when the boy latched onto his arm causing his whole body to became jarred with the sensation. He grew tensed his eyes starring ahead as his breath caught in his throat and his ears burned with Brendon's persistent words.
He wanted to...everything inside of him screamed to accept. But his fear wouldn't lessen. Emerald eyes finally drew down to the male as he gripped him and looked to him imploringly.
"...I'm afraid of hurting you," he admitted honestly and glanced away feeling tense and uncomfortable with the whole situation.
His touch immobilized the other male, causing him to visibly grow tense. His enhanced hearing easily took in the sounds of his hitched breathing and he could feel the way he trembled underneath the grip of his hands. It seemed to take him a great deal of effort, but he managed to drag his gaze to him, and there was pain and fear reflected within his emerald hues. “...I’m afraid of hurting you.”
“Just take a little… at a time.” Brendon implored in return, his hand remaining stubbornly against his arm. “You will only have my energy and that’s why you’re so weak, right? You need it...”

Just take a little...at a time," he urged and his persistence would be his downfall. His gaze lulled and strained as he unconsciously turned more towards him. "That's right..." he whispered. "Only yours will do..." he muttered and lowered moving to bring his lips to his neck.
He could feel his heat...taste his scent and it was maddening. His mouth watered as his hands rose gripping the sides of his arm roughly, squeezing him in place as he touched his cheek to his neck. The moment they made contact his whole body seized with a burst of energy.
It made him gasp vocally and he couldn't stop his arms from encircling the boy into a tight embrace as the thrum of his energy began to fill his being. It was so peaceful and warm, like nothing he had ever experienced before. But there was also a growing need beginning to rise within him and it was something Brendon could feel too.
Alarm filled him in that moment as rumors of his species made him more sensitive to his own sexuality causing him to jerk back and break contact with the boy. His chest rose and fell as he panted and the color of his skin, hair and eyes shimmered with new life as he was rejuvenated.
"I'm sorry," he told him immediately, still breathing and looking completely jarred by their moment.
“That’s right…” Brendon’s ears flickered as they heard the soft huskiness of his voice. The tension within him seemed to lessen and he turned more fully toward him. There was desire for what he was offering in his eyes. “Only yours will do…”
Brendon blushed and felt his heart thump the moment he spied Josuah leaning down. His heart sped off into a racing beat, and embarrassment bombarded him quickly, causing him to close his eyes tight. He didn’t know what it was going to be like but he could feel the anticipation inside of him.
And then he felt the soft warmth of Josuah's cheek as he nuzzled the side of his face against his neck. Brendon's embarrassment seemed to triple in strength.
He could feel the abrupt surge of energy that pooled from his being and into Josuah’s, causing the other male to gasp softly and then encircle his arms around him, pulling his body into a tight and unyielding embrace. “J-Josuah,” Brendon mumbled in embarrassment, his cheeks on fire. Tentatively he reached out to lightly hold him back, his eyes still closed tight. His essence was being drawn out of his body and into Josuah's. He shuddered on a breath as the feeling of their transfer turned from warmth to something more… intimate.
He couldn't grasp the meaning behind the shift, but Josuah took it poorly and abruptly drew back, breaking all contact with him. He looked frazzled, his breathing shallow. “I’m sorry.”
Brendon felt frazzled himself, and his cheeks were certainly on fire. “Y-You don’t need to apologize…,” He pouted a little. “I… think it went rather well. See, you didn’t have anything to be scared of.” He did feel a bit… loopy, a little bit lost for energy, but he was still standing and functional.

eeding was so much more than he could have imagined. He had studied it for the sake of knowing, but experiencing it was so different. There was nothing unpleasant about it...and it felt so natural...like it was always meant to be. He would have liked to be emotional about it...to feel at peace.
But years of starvation had taken its toll and a premature energy draw was not enough to fix years of destitute. He shuddered on a breath as he clenched his teeth together and actually moved away from the boy's side.
"I thank you...for what you gave," he struggled to tell him, his fingers clenching against the material of the back of the chair."But we'll still need to be careful...I have gone years without...feeding," Josuah explained and Brendon could see so easily that he wanted more...that his body was fighting him harder now that he had been given a taste.
The distance he had already put between them apparently wasn’t enough for Josuah, as he ventured further away until he had put a couch between them. Brendon felt frustrated but also a bit weak, and still loopy, so he… didn’t feel like moving too much. Instead, he just frowned at him. “I thank you… for what you gave.” Josuah replied, and Brendon’s pout grew more prominent.
“You were the one who pulled away,” He complained, arguing against the way Josuah had made it sound as though he’d chosen when enough had been enough. “You didn’t get hardly anything at all!” He accused, going redder in the face, but it was true that he… couldn’t take it. He felt pretty exhausted from the amount he had already taken.
A-And Hanzo was calling over the radio again…!
IMPORTANT THREAD DETAILS --- Has to contact Hanzo every 5 minutes. --- Do Not Disturb hung on door.
rendon interrupted him before he was able to speak, and he was surprised that he was so frustrated that he hadn't taken more. It was strange knowing what they were and seeing the way they acted around each other. He didn't know Brendon...but he was happy to be there with him. He made a low noise of strain as his body ached with the want for more and seemed to refuse to take from the necklace to satisfy.
Procubi were supposed to be able to just be within the same vicinity as their soulmates and be able to thrive. But he imagined his lifestyle had hindered his ability to just naturally take. He needed to get comfortable with it...but that would take time.
Hanzo's voice was sadly a much needed distraction and Josuah didn't hesitate to retrieve the radio for Brendon. But the moment he gave it to him, he was rounding the couch and beginning to draw a hex onto the floor.
Josuah retrieved the radio and handed it to him. Five minutes went by way too fast but he didn’t feel like Hanzo would accept things being pushed to ten minutes so quickly. And he shouldn’t have trusted things either, but he couldn’t deny the fact that he did. He really trusted Josuah… f-for some reason. And the two of them were even… sharing these kinds of moments! He wasn’t like his parental guardian at all… The thought made him blush deeply.
“Everything is still good over here, Hanzo.” He radio’d in. “8:55 next.”
“Copy.”
However, when he looked back over to Josuah, it was to find him crouched down and re-drawing his hex! “What!” Brendon raged, face pink for a completely different reason now. “I didn’t give you energy to put THAT back on! You’re not allowed!”
IMPORTANT THREAD DETAILS --- Has to contact Hanzo every 5 minutes. --- Do Not Disturb hung on door.
osuah didn't stop what he was doing even as his other half openly complained. But he did explain to him why he was creating the hex. "It's a precaution," he revealed, and glanced briefly towards him from behind the couch. "Hanzo has barged in on us once before."
He had drawn the hex so many times in his life that he finished it easily despite the complicated design. And then he was standing to his full height and looking to Brendon Redal.
