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.
There's a slight tremor in her hands as her eyes shakily glance on over to the fluff of white hair besides her. To think that she would face something like this so soon. The bunny truly think she'd at least have a few more minutes before she had to come face to face with the forced social interactions of her seat-buddy. The fear of having to open herself up to yet another person was much too much for the rabbit's poor heart to take.
She wanted to shrivel up in her seat. Her head stayed dropped and gazed remained fixated on the floor. Words of her brother was what she had been desperately trying to ease herself with. Aleksei said she could do it... that she would be fine and yet... yet... here she was, on the verge of tears from somehow having to conversate with another person, one who so happened to be the one picked with sitting next to her within her first day of class.
Perhaps she should have insisted it was too much too fast for her. That she wasn't ready for school and maybe should've asked her mother to consider homeschooling. Ziva clamps down on her lowerlip to prevent the exposure of her current state. It was a casual period within the classroom right now. The buzzing of conversations from the other students weren't easing her nerves but nor were they unfocused enough to catch attention of her.
Quiet sniffling left her lips as warm silent tears rolled down her cheeks. Her head lifted slightly by accident and by default had her gaze lifted but she hadn't anticipating meeting the wide-eyed concerned gaze of the fluffy eared white hair male besides her. It made her bunny ears shift out in an instant while her own widen- and the softest of squeaks emit from her throat. Her hand shields her eyes as soft apologies come from her lips.
"I'm sorry...." He did nothing nor did she and yet she was apologizing... apologizing that he had been graced with someone as weak hearted as her.
School was something important, according to the teachings of his parents. It was something that everyone had to go through, as they would teach you things to help you once you were older. It wouldn’t always be fun or exciting, let alone easy. Vindie wasn’t bothered all that much by attending school, though he was a naturally outgoing and social person. [break][break]
The fox often found himself curious of those around him, leading to easy conversation. He could follow almost any line of dialogue, as he was keenly intrigued by talk about things he didn’t know. His fluffy ears swivel with the sounds of others settling in their seats, the plunking of bags being set against the ground. The scritching of pencils on paper, or of a backpack zipper being pulled. Many of the others were chattering, desks creaking as some leaned forward on them to excitedly chatter. [break][break]
One ear perked as he caught a sniffle, the sound potentially one of distress. He turned his head to regard the girl near him with a worried expression, her gaze meeting his just as he was about to ask if she was okay. He shakes his head a little at her words, hopefully easing her worries at least a little. She had nothing to be sorry for, he was just worried. [break][break]
”It’s okay! Are you overwhelmed?” His voice brimmed with cheerfulness and concern, a soft tone that hopefully wouldn’t cause her further worry. He could understand it if she was overwhelmed, remembering how he had felt when he had his first traffic experience. If possible, he hoped that he could help her feel at least a little better. ”I’m Vindemiatrix, but ... you can shorten it to Vindie.”
Her hand remained covering her face, her shoulders were shaking as Ziva had been mustering all she could to silent her cries. The rabbit couldn't contain herself and she felt so ashamed for that. She wish she could magically turn off all of her emotions. Her thoughts would be nice to rid of too- it's why she ended up in such a state to begin with. The only saving grace she had going for herself in this moment was her seatmate speaking and trying to help her. It does bring some ease but still she can't bounce back as fast as most of the kids her age do.
Upon hearing his question- her breath hitches and all she does is nod her head furiously a few times. "Really overwhelmed." It's a quiet comment followed by a few sniffles. Her hand shakily leaves her face, revealing the watery state of her face. A soft voice emits from her throat. "Vindie..." Her head had dropped, breaking the gaze she had on him. "Sorry you have to um... deal with me, Vindie." Her hands rested on her laps, fingers entwining and untwining with another anxiously. It was the worst first impression she could've made on him and it made her face squint all the more in hurt.
"My name is.... it's um... I'm Ziva." She inhales deeply, trying to get ahold of herself but it's clear from how she was trying to comfort herself that it was a difficult task. "I don't think I'm really ready for school yet." It's a soft whisper but her shoulders drop and a soft exhale follow. "I feel like a loser... " She couldn't wait to tell her brother and mom how the first thing she experienced at school was her breaking down and out into tears in front of someone else and the rest of her class.
