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 Coast, a place usually absent of unusual disturbances that would upset the life and wildlife present, free of worry and (most) spite... especially in the bar where one could drink their worries away. Truly a place to just relax and enjoy yourself on a nice, normal afternoon.
...
Well this isn't a fairy tail and this especially wasn't a normal afternoon. The false naga known as Calipseye was hungry, and considering their usual playmate wasn't around, the only logical option left was to eat a bar full of people of course! Already in their monstrous canine form, Cali lurked near the Golden Crown, waiting for herself to make up her own mind, each of her four large wolf heads baring their teeth to rip into any unlucky person in sight. After a large mental debate with her other personalities, and a brief physical fight with a head, Cali sprung into action, rising to the horrific height of 15 feet as the four heads roared. Calipseye herself stared down at the Crown, licking her lips with a childish grin. "Heyo, anyone in there'll be eaten all up really soon! So please come out and start running so we can have some fun before we eat dinner!" At the end of her words she giggled as she crouched down, the wolf heads now slithering on the grown closer towards the building, growling loudly along the way...

Roland was the only one in the bar. Everyone had fled when the Lycan had gotten deep into his bottles. Even the Bartender. He heard the call of being eaten, and the childish voice. He was already half drunk, his Lycan metabolism burning the alcohol almost as fast he sucked it down. He sauntered out of the bar, half scowling, and looked at the ten foot tall mass of snake bodies, wolf heads and...a little girl?
"I dont fight kids. Come back when ya get old enough to drink, then i'll kick yer ass." He paused for a moment. "and dun' think yer little wolfie friends scare me. I've killed and eaten bigger, badder things than you." He partially shifted, his wolf like maw causing his mask to hit the ground, revealing the mutilated side of his face. Even Brute Terrors tended to pause when he did this. He was the Best Hunter in the Lorsette branch, possible in all of North American. He just didnt care about such things, and never really did his job as quickly or efficiently as he could.
Calipseye stopped their quick approach at the sight of a sole individual waking out, head tilted in confusion. 'He's not scared...' 'It should be!' 'It's something like us, it looks like me!' 'Kill it.' She held her head as the man spoke, irritated with the voices that were speaking in a flurry in her head. Her childish demeanor completely vanished after a second, replaced by a quite serious stare. One of the heads nudged Calipseye, confused. 'Are we a kiddie still?' it asked. A question she didn't know nor care about right now. The only thing important right now was their hunger, if they didn't eat they would absolutely die. Cali herself didn't care for the transformation that occurred in front of her, regardless on how much it perplexed the other heads. Easily wringing control over the other heads, all of them lunged at the man with open mouths, attempting to just bite a whole chunk of him off.
A part of her was hurt, for the first time in a long time she encountered something that was about to or is akin to herself feature wise. Only she didn't have a maw. "We go to town after this and find the ones that aren't here."

Roland narrowed his eyes. He didnt want to hurt a kid. He was an asshole, but he wasnt a monster either. Actually that was debatable, especially after the time he ripped that AP member's heart out and ate it. The guy deserved it, but yeah, thats not normal.
Roland opted to not draw his revolvers, instead he just dodged three of the heads, and swung his fully shifted fist towards the side of the fourth heads skull, at the base where the skull ended and the neck presumable began. Compared to fighting a pair of brutes and a swarmer, this was like dancing a waltz.
Letting out a mix of a growl and wail of pain from being struck, the main body of Calipseye only watched with a dull stare. The three heads that missed their target retreated back to Calipseye. Some were angry, another was happy that it missed, and the last were prepping to try again before all three noticed the injured fourth, slowly recovering from the strike.
Their teeth started to ooze a liquid as they growled at the man. It wasn't any ordinary saliva or water that was starting to drop from their gaping mouths, it was Cali's special venom, but instead of striking again, they all simply waited like a wolf stalking it's prey in plain sight, being held back by Calipseye, who was still waiting for the fourth head to get up. When it did, her stare was now directed at the man. "You're not gonna let us eat you are you?" She asked, in an innocent but loud voice, a polar flip from her more serious approach earlier.

Roland Glared at her. "No, i am not. I got things to do kid, before i die. Like i said, ive eaten bigger, badder, and scarier brats than you. I warn you, I aint got serious yet. But if i do, you might die. If you are hungry, we can fix that, without killing people. Besides, even if you managed to kill me, that would bring the whole damn group on you. You might pull of a miracle, beating me, but no way you can handle my little cousin when he rages. Even i wouldnt want to be on the receiving end of his real anger. He'd probably chew your little doggies's heads off, then eat your guts while you screamed. Berserk Shifters aint a joke."
He leaned back, he wasnt stupid, despite how he acted. Those fangs were dripping poison. "You want food, i will get you food. But you aint eating people on my watch. you can do whatever want, out in those woods. But my boss would skin me alive if i let some rouge shifter type kid go around scoffing up the local bar flies."
"Then'll eat the whole group!" Calipseye said happily, completely missing the point. "Dunno what a shifter is but it sounds like fun! What do they taste like?" An instant passed and her mentality changed once more, into something far more fierce as all four heads glared at the man with hate.
"I'm NOT A DOG! You wanna see dog I'll show you dog!" She barked, her own little mouth was now dripping with the same venom, just a lot less potent. Grabbing her hair, she punched the body of a nearby head with frustration, the head in turn nudging her. Hard. A mini fight broke out between Calipseye and the head before calming, the serious-type taking control of the main body.
"Not smart eating you..." she said calmly, "You said you'll give us food? Has to be meat or-" "Applesauce. Mhm!" Cut off by an entirely different personality, Calipseye was now energetic and happy. The four canine bodies began to circe around her like a cocoon before they began their shift to their partial human form, a small little thing around four feet. "Calipseye! That's our name! Or Cali I think... something! I don't know!" Running up to the man as if she didn't just try ripping him apart earlier she attempted a hug.

Roland let the hug happen. This was not his first time dealing with multiple personalities. You spent enough time around Hell Species and the like, and you encountered some weird shit.
"Heres the deal kid. One, you get food any time you come to me, but you make trouble, and i gotta deal with that. I will feed you entire cows if you want. Those taste good. Eating people will make you sick. Trust me. People are gross, and unclean. Especially the ones in uniforms like mine. Shifters are even worse. Zeph would probably give you a fifty year belly ache if you ate him. Hes all sour, no sweet."
He opened the door to the bar, and walked in, presumably with the strange child in tow. He walked behind thye counter, poured himself a drink, and fired up the flat top throwing some pork chops on it. Applesauce was found under a cupboard.
"Eat this till the meat is done." He thumped the 2 gallon can of applesauce on the counter. the meat began to fill the building with a savory aroma. Despite being a drunkard and a womanizer, Roland could actually cook like a professional.
Calipseye's face twisted in a mix of amazement and confusion. "But eating people tastes great, been doing it for many, many days... years? Decades... maybe?" She didn't understand how anything she ate made her sick unless they were a naga. They were just hard to digest, but fun to chase.
Following him into the bar, she gasped in excitement at the new environment, slightly disappointed that there were no living things in here she could stick to or playfully torment. In her head, it was strangely silent. Every urge she had to just leave was overwritten by something else that told her to stay close to this man thing.
None of that mattered though, as common commotion erupted internally again at the sight of the applesauce, immediately sitting on the counter to eat it, container and all, bite by bite as she watched the man begin to cook, toxic saliva dripping from her occupied mouth. "Hey," Cali said in between bites, "Are you like us?"
