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!
Yue woke up a little later than usual. She normally wakes up early but stayed up trying to figure out what flavor of ice cream she was going to pick. Her friend Scott suggested she make a mechanism to allow them to pick at random, which she had.
Yue looked at the clock and decided it was time to change to meet up with Scott. She decided to bundle up because of the weather. Yue chose to wear a yellow sweater that read choose happy, blue jeans, converse shoes, and a green jacket with a colorful scarf.
It appeared she arrived at the ice cream shop early. She looked around to see if Scott was around but didn't see him.
As she waited, she looked at her phone with a list of ice cream flavors. She had an app in which it picked the flavor for you. The twenty-year-old gal didn't know which to choose so this app was a save.
A recluse, scared of judgement and being misunderstood for a thousand times. Will they ever understand? Or will I be left to alone forever?
[attr="class","scotttalker"]A slight excitement consumed Scott in the early hours of the morning as he prepared himself for an outing with Yue. The pair were both passionate artists, drawn together in friendship because of their admirations in the skill. The warm weather prompted Scott into a comfortable long-sleeved shirt, a thick and soft sweater and a pair of simple jeans as he hurried out of the house with a wallet and his phone. Before leaving, the ginger had accomplished it all, from notifying his parents and boyfriend and grabbing the necessities for an outing. Thus, he had managed his way to the bus stop to travel to the business chosen by the pair in their text exchange a few days prior.
From the closest bus stop, the young ginger had hurried with quickened steps. Excitement danced inside Scott as he travelled towards the ice cream shop. The chilly treat was among the ginger's favoured and additionally enjoying it with a good friend only increased his mood. Despite the recent shifts in weather resulting incoming cold front, Scott was determined to enjoy an ice cream treat nonetheless! As he scuttled forward, his eyes noticed the sign of the ice cream parlour and a familiar face stationed in front.
The young man reached out to wave Yue with a small, shy smile. While the pair were good friends, Scott always struggled with confidence even with mere greetings.
"Hi Yue," he said softly. "Are you ready for ice cream? I'm so excited."
The ginger adjusted his hands, allowing them to retreat into the sleeves for comfort. A grin played over Scott's lips as he waited for his friend's answer and soon the delight of ice cream.
A recluse, scared of judgement and being misunderstood for a thousand times. Will they ever understand? Or will I be left to alone forever?
[attr="class","scotttalker"]Quick, scuttling steps brought Scott close to his blonde hair friend. A soft smile was on his face, quaint and small, but brimming with a gentle warmth. He enjoyed spending time with his friends, even though he possessed a limited amount of them. As an introvert and slight recluse, Scott always struggled making connections. He was better in the online sphere, using the special mask of internet anonymity to survive the social pressures of conversation. It was the medium used to meet his boyfriend, Nima, after all, when he was younger.
An exaggerated nod came from the ginger, making his excitement evident. “Yep, I’m ready. I already know what I want.”
The young man gazed at Yue’s phone as she pulled it out, showing him the mechanism. A gentle ‘whoa’ escaped his slightly parted lips.
“Wow, you really found something,” Scott said, grinning at her. “Now you won’t have to worry about having to choose.”
The ginger’s eyes gazed at the ice cream shop, a slight nervousness whispering in the back of his mind. He always fretted in these situations, anything with social interaction inciting worries inside him. What if someone thought bad of him? The thought made his heart skip beats, but the man stayed steady, comforting himself in his head. Quietly, Scott headed to the front door of the parlour, grabbing the handle and opening it to allow Yue in.
"That's awesome! Glad you already know what you'll get." For Yue, it was going to be difficult to choose since there were many choices to choose from. Thank the heavens that someone out there made an application to make things easier for her. Otherwise, she would be at the sweets shop for hours on end trying to pick something.
"Yep!" She nodded. "I'm glad that I found said application for me."
With the door held open, Yue thanked Scott and walked inside. "What are you going to get?" She turned and asked.
Luckily, there was somewhat of a line so Yue could try the app she found. As she waited for her friend to reply, she opened the app quickly. Her little finger tapped on the cute colored phone app. With it opened, it asked a couple of questions. It was silly, but Yue answered them all. After a while, a flavor of ice cream popped up with its image and description.
"I got it!" She turned to see Scott. "The app reccommened I get a banna split."
A recluse, scared of judgement and being misunderstood for a thousand times. Will they ever understand? Or will I be left to alone forever?
[attr="class","scotttalker"]A bashful grin touched Scott's lips as he listened to Yue's words. Despite his wishes against it, public settings always summoned a sense of edge to the ginger. He fretted over the judgements of others or accomplishing something moronic and embarrassing. While at times it was enough to skip a day's activities in favour of remaining at home, it fortunately was not to the severity where he could not manage. The young man could cope with the symptoms of his anxieties, but it always remained in a hushed voice whispering on about the possibilities.
The presence of a friend luckily helped, so Scott quickly followed Yue inside, remaining close to a familiar person. Their friendship would undoubtedly assist in soothing any rampant nerves.
"I still can't believe you found something like that, but it is pretty cool," he responded. "I'm thinking about getting a chocolate vanilla swirl, it best of both worlds."
His soft smile stayed as they entered the line alongside Yue, waiting to hear the results of her randomizer app. As she stated the result, Scott's grin broadened as he nodded.
"Good choice," he began before pausing with a soft 'oh'. "Do you want me to pay? We can just get our ice cream together then find somewhere to sit."
The ginger-haired man never minded paying for treats for his friends. As long as the pair took turns, nobody would be at a loss for cash. He found it nice to occasionally pay for his friends then perhaps not have to worry about payment another time.
