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.

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.

Witnessing the red colouring that consumed Nicholas' cheeks made Arlo's heart flutter in delight as gently chuckled. Whenever a blush painted across his crush's face, the hellhound found himself pondering how adorable the white-haired man appeared. Furthermore, it gave the short man reassurance in his actions to capture Nicholas' heart, motivating him to maintain a cheerful and flirtatious disposition while trying to respect boundaries. Being in close proximity to the handsome man was causing numerous feelings to spark inside Arlo. He felt lighter on his feet just being in Nicholas' presence and his increased heart rate would skip the occasional beat with its flutter. Being capable to spend time with somebody of incredible beauty was a pleasure for the hellhound and each passing second resulted in him falling deeper in love with the man he knew for only a few moments.
There was something special about Nicholas, and Arlo was certain about it. Explanation for the sudden burst of affectionate emotions was nonexistent which meant something was occurring between them. Fortunately, there would be time to discover that wonder considering the hellhound was officially in possession of the adorable man's phone number. In the future, he would be able to spend an extensive amount of time around Nicholas, although, the short man wished it was sooner. His impatience and clingy attitude was already gnawing at him over the concept of being required to part from the incredible adorable man. Those thoughts of somebody else deciding to flirt with the his crush caused the hellhound both concern and jealously for the individual who gained the chance. Despite it being present in his emotions, Arlo managed to keep a cheerful expression on his face as he regarded his crush.
When the blush became a more vivid shade, the cheerful teen happily giggled from the adorable display. The temptation to embrace his crush again was growing immensely, but the short man managed to resist. The wounds were of top priority since they would cause pain and discomfort in hugging, which meant Arlo was required to wait despite his impatience. He continued leading Nicholas towards the circle, activating it once they reached the center. The complex pattern composed in the circle began to light up brightly when activated. Gradually, the various wounds and bruises began to mend together and the pain slowly dissipated to nothing. Once the healing was completed, the pattern drawn in red had disappeared, the blood acting as sacrifice for healing their wounds. Despite consuming plenty of magical energy, Arlo remained chipper in body language and expression which made his experience more obvious.
Cheerfully, the hellhound assessed where his wounds were prior to healing, finding himself pleased with the results. Afterwards, his red eyes gazed up at Nicholas, a large grin marking his face while he lunged forward to rope the handsome man into another hug.
"Yay! Healthy Nic!" He cheered, giggling while he continued to stare at his crush. "Niiiiic, can I keep hugging you until your TRS buddies arrive? Pleeeeeaaaase? You're soooo comfy and I still want those unlimited hugs."
There was a begging tone in Arlo's voice as he spoke, praying that his crush would agree to the hug. The hellhound felt the embrace was a necessity to assure that nobody would attempt to steal Nicholas' heart and there was the underlying craving for close proximity. Being capable of holding the white-haired man was a privilege that the short man was desiring since there was comfort in the closeness being warranted.
It was hard to keep himself calm when he was around Arlo, finding comfort in being around him. No sooner had his wounds been healed that Arlo had wrapped his arms around him again and he was quick to wrap his arms around Arlo in return. Arlo's words were so adorable, but pleading to stay with him until TRS came around made him blush deeper. If there was a slight chance of wanting to try and keep work and Arlo separate, it was gone now. He was feeling selfish, unwilling to let Arlo leave even if his TRS members did show up. Of course he was reminded from his words from earlier, saying that Arlo being around when he worked would just encourage him to worry about his safety. "Yes." It was painful to not change his mind and have Arlo remain with him but it would be worth it in the long run. "I'll give you all the unlimited hugs." It took a lot of effort to admit in public, but he would make due. Arlo needed to hear him say that he enjoyed those hugs, that is, if he expected to get Arlo to blush back.
I have to be careful. I don't want him getting wind I don't want to let go. I won't run the risk of him getting hurt because I change my mind and let him stay with me longer. He reminded himself as he enjoyed the hug, having wrapped his arms around Arlo once more. It felt like only a few minutes had gone by before a few TRS members had showed up. Seeing Nicholas in a hug with Arlo had surprised them but they waited a few minutes before one of them had coughed to try and get Nicholas' attention. Hearing the cough had embarrassed Nicholas, he almost forgot they were coming. Of course them being there hadn't encouraged him to let go of Arlo, in fact he felt himself hugging onto Arlo slightly tighter before releasing him with disappointment. "You aren't limited to text, I love phone calls too." He flirted with Arlo, planning on doing just that once he got off his shift. He looked back towards the TRS members waiting on him and sighed. "You guys have perfect timing." The comment was sarcasm. "I need a new radio, that damn Brute destroyed mine."
When Nicholas returned the embrace, the smile on Arlo's face widened as he found himself overjoyed since his crush was hugging him. Comfort was found in the white-haired man's arms being wrapped around him, making the hellhound quick to melt into the warm embrace. While he remained in the cozy hug, the short man found his heart beating in delight from the close proximity. His heart rate shortly increased as Nicholas agreed to continuing the hug until his TRS agents appeared, which caused a larger grin to mark Arlo's face as he stared up at his crush. Admittedly, he would have preferred for this embrace to continue forever, but the ravenette knew they would be required to part. A slight blush coloured the hellhound's cheeks, turning them a pale pink, when his company stated he would grant him unlimited hugs.
In response, Arlo snuggled the man before speaking. "You can have unlimited hugs too. You just have to ask and I will hug you aaaaalllll day!" The hellhound flirted smoothly with a cheerful tone.
The smile upon Arlo's face felt endless considering his crush had informed him of the unlimited hugs in public since for the hellhound that was a sign for those around them to not flirt with his Nicholas. Nobody was allowed the privilege to hear those sweet words or thieved embraces that belonged to him. As minutes passed captured in the wondrous embrace, the hellhound found himself feeling immensely delighted with the current circumstances and growing relationship between himself and Nicholas. There was certainty that perhaps the hug would last forever, until a cough interrupted them. Instantly, Arlo's red eyes flitted towards the TRS member who intended to gain his crush's attention. For a moment, a frown marked the hellhound's face as he realized that this handsome hunter would be required to leave. There was reassurance in the squeeze as the ravenette hesitantly released Nicholas, only to found himself pleasantly surprised. Upon hearing the flirtatious words that his crush had provided, Arlo's cheeks got painted a deep red blush.
The notion of his crush desiring to hear his voice caused the criminal's heart to flutter wildly since prior love interests had limited him to mere text messages. With a smile and flushed cheeks, Arlo watched the interaction between Nicholas and his fellow TRS members before a mischievous look came to his face. Gently, the hellhound tugged at the sleeve of the white-haired man's TRS coat while his wide eyes stared up at him.
"Niiiic, before you go I have a secret to tell you," he said, giggling cheerfully afterwards.
A gesture was given for Nicholas to come closer, a sign meant for those who desired to whisper. In reality, Arlo was praying that his crush would close the distance enough for the hellhound to plant a kiss on his cheek. This was the final romantic act the ravenette desired to grant Nicholas before having to hurry away in order to allow his crush to continue working.
Nicholas couldn't help but feel excited in Arlo's embrace, finding the snuggles to be so cozy. There was nothing he wanted more than to be in Arlo's arms for a little bit longer, in his heart having the desire to never have it end. He felt his cheek turn a deeper pink when Arlo told him that he could have unlimited hugs too and all he would have to do is ask for them. Arlo was just so adorable and it was hard to not fall into his tease by becoming flustered by the suggestion. It was easy for him to melt into's Arlo's grip, proving that he didn't want to let go, of course he felt somewhat disappointed when the other TRS members had showed up and interrupted them. He couldn't help but grin slightly when he saw Arlo's cheeks turn red from his comment about the calling. When he had spoken to his fellow TRS members he had looked towards Arlo when he felt a tug on his sleeve. Hearing Arlo's voice made him blush again as if his heart was telling him something much more fun and enjoyable was about to happen.
Arlo had a secret for him, he couldn't help but wonder what that secret might be so he leaned in so that Arlo would be able to whisper it to him just to blush when Arlo's lips had planted a kiss on his cheek. His radio went off, a scout was reporting a siting of another Terror. If he didn't have to rush off before he would have to rush off now. "Your secret is safe with me." He flirted with Arlo before glancing back at his fellow TRS members. "I shall call you later." He promised Arlo, planning on doing just that. He than started in a jog, followed by the other TRS members to head in the direction that the Terror was spotted at. I hope.... I hope he answers the phone later.
Excitement was evident in Arlo's expression whenever he witnessed his crush blush. The sublime visual that was Nicholas was improved by the cute essence the red provided. Watching the white-haired man blushed caused giggles to flow steadily from the hellhound's mouth. There was determination to make certain he could claim Nicholas as his when the proper time arrived. The route to the possibility of dating his latest crush was already undergoing some mental planning and idea creating to assist in the possibility. Offering unlimited hugs was merely the beginning of the extensive list of methods to earn Nicholas' affection. There was joy found when his crush melted into the embrace, resulting in the hellhound snuggling more.
The most enjoyable part for Arlo was when he managed to get Nicholas to believe he truly possessed a secret. Softly, the criminal swiftly kissed the man's cheek. A cheerful smile crossed his face, a giggle erupting from his mouth while Nicholas stated his secret was safe. The beautiful blush featured on his crush's face made the immense joy that Arlo was feeling skyrocket. At the mentioning of calling, the smile broadened across the hellhound's lips.
"I will be waiting!" He stated happily.
After a quick wave of farewell, Arlo turned away and began hastily making his way home with excitement in his steps. The concept of Nicholas messaging him was making him overzealous. His desires for the sweet texts of his crush was a craving, and something that would in constant phone staring.
