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!
Nipping cold surrounded Shiloh as she closed in on the destination of their travels. Straying fingers brushed aside locks of darkened hair, revealing brilliant golden hues. The winter temperature failed to bother the strong, oni woman. Years of travel made her condition hardened, both from pain tolerance and temperatures among other things. A simple, dark coat and the winter’s cold failed to gain purchase across her skin. A gentle sigh escaped Shiloh’s lips as she watched clouded breath whither amidst the winter air.

Firmly, Shiloh’s hand grasped the strap of her satchel, adjusting it until it sat comfortably. Various items were stationed within the bag, from food to emergency items in case of separation. The dark-haired woman’s boots grazed across the snow, a soft crunch fleeting through the air as she left prints across the white. Tree branches swirled, their branches long cleared from the cold temperatures. From the clearing tree line, Shiloh’s eyes could see the sparse outskirts of their next destination, Lorsette.
[break][break]
Weeks of travelling gave opportunities to hear about the Canadian city and the perils faced within. The presence of the Assembly consolidated on Lorsette, the heathens frequently going to war with the TRS members in the area. The short-haired woman paused for a moment, scanning the area curiously to assess their circumstance. A glance over her shoulder provided a peek at the long-haired woman who travelled alongside her for centuries.
[break][break]
“Dear,” she called softly, her shoulders turning to see her partner. “It seems we have arrived… I think we should be alright now. There should be less terrors, but watch for criminals… Mostly pickpockets I would assume.”
[break][break]
The woman knew her partner, Pandora Rune, was a smart individual. They both travelled long enough to be aware of malice intentions hidden beneath plastic smiles. Nonetheless, Shiloh always warned the long-haired woman she was fortunate to call her girlfriend. Their partnership was something Shiloh valued, a kindred soul to love and care for and for those feelings to be returned. Once her words were finished, Shiloh moved forward to close in on Lorsette, their theoretical new home.
[break][break]
Their arrival heralded plenty for them to finish through the recent days. They would be required to survey the city through the days and assure their assistance would be valued by those within Lorsette. A single goal always existed in their travels between location to location; arrival for additional assistance. If Lorsette failed to require their assistance in protecting the populace, it was likely Shiloh and Pandora would take their leave accordingly. They travelled to bring alleviation, Shiloh being a powerful warrior while Pandora an expert healer and strong fighter as well.

All paths lead somewhere eventually, and this was the case for her current journey. She has travelled long at the side of her partner, never once faltering in her decision or desire to make the world a better place. The day was on the colder end of the temperature scale, making each breath sparkle and cloud up. While some may seek refuge from the frost nipping at their heels - the dragoness remained entirely unbothered.
Despite her usual attire revealing a lot of skin, she was covered against the cold winds. The breeze tugged at the sleeves of her coat, and the long pink strands of her hair. Instead of paying the toying breeze any attention, her purple eyes remained steadfast on the path before her and her partner. Pandora often worried about the other woman’s health, but the worries were mostly unfounded. The oni woman was strong, and likely wasn’t feeling all that tired.
Either way, with their destination so close there was no need to fuss. A place to stop meant a place to rest, and a place to gather more supplies if they needed. She was not so naïve as to believe the area entirely safe, however. Most of the places they came to in order to offer assistance were not, caught in the vices of some sort of struggle. Her purple eyes met golden, as the other glanced back. Was she thinking the same things?
”I’ll remain vigilant. Though I’m hopeful we’ll be able to rest without trouble.” The dragoness’s voice was soft, a pleased smile painting her lips. The way Shiloh always checked in on her was adorable, and she found the routine to be something she appreciated. They had shared a great number of experiences while traversing together, some of them pleasant while others were far less so. People often underestimated Pandora, often taking her gentle nature as someone who could be taken advantage of or pushed around.
Following in the steps of her beloved, Pandora felt peaceful despite the uncertainty of what lie ahead. She knew that no matter what happened that they would be okay, just so long as they had each other. They were a force to be reckoned with, often beacons of positive changes to struggling places. Despite the thanks they may receive from helping, Pandora had never truly wanted anything in return.
The safety and happiness of those around her were all she needed, since that was what truly mattered at the end of the night. Pandora never wanted for anything, all her needs met with Shiloh’s presence. Together they made up their own tiny world, a home that was always present so long as they were together.

[attr="class","blackmarbletext"] [attr="class","blackmarblestrt"] Wind buffeted Shiloh as she proceeded to lead them towards the large expanding city. Throughout the years, the oni alongside her draconic partner had travelled to a variety of places. Certain ones required their assistance tenfold, meanwhile, others proved strong enough to stand alone. Alas, the transition to modern times had caused the necessity of mercenaries to lower. A majority of locations could manage their own health and safety, making external forces unneeded. Despite these existing circumstances, Shiloh proceeded to maintain worry.
[break][break]
Her senses were thorough as she strode forward, steps measured and weighted. The length of their travels rarely affected the oni, rather, she was resilient to the lifestyle. After living in this environment for centuries, Shiloh was adjusted to the circumstances and capable of maintaining survival. Though her capabilities in hunting and survival would never cease the mutual feelings of worry between the long-standing couple. The pair wanted to assure the health of their partner to allow for centuries onward of travelling and assisting others to make the world better.

The short-haired woman nodded at Pandora's request to find a resting place shortly. They had been travelling for an extended period of time, thus the notion of comfortable lodging for the evening sounded like a pleasant evening.
[break][break]
"We can do that," she responded in a quiet breath, fog leaving her lips. "A little break from camping out would be nice as well. We can get cleaned up and organized from there."
[break][break]
A soft 'hmm' escaped Shiloh's lips as they moved closer to the city. Contemplation entered her head as she debated where they could go to find lodging first. A city was already a large expanse of land to explore and map out, and with the location being new, they required a map. However, Shiloh was aware of other methods that could be used to map out areas, specifically with technology. Unfortunately, the dark-haired woman was unaware of how to accomplish these methods of reconnaissance... Yet, as the years passed it appeared more favourable.
[break][break]
It was a topic she had yet to bring up with her lover. The notion of perhaps discovering a more permanent base of operations and deciding long-travels with the intention of returning to the single location. There was a chance it would make their adventures more fruitful than venturing through on a whim. For the moment she remained hush about the notion, hoping they would discover a location that required long-term care to keep them planted before suggesting anything.
