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.

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!
Zachary knew that he had his limits, he was well aware of it. The problem was admitting he reached his limit long ago. It was also necessary, when it came to taking care of his patients and anybody else that he deemed as a new patient. He felt relief when he had managed to make it down the stairs without injury, but it was gone when he had walked into the wall instead of through the door that had been held open for him by Desmond. A hand had reached up to touch his face, trying to wake himself up from this undesired tiredness. Desmond had moved to him, asking if he was okay. I think I'm okay... wait, what am I thinking? I don't want to worry him... He thought to himself, taking a breath, he lowered his hand so that Desmond could see his face much more clearly. "I'm okay." He tried reassuring Desmond. I don't want to worry him. Besides walking into the wall was mostly embarrassing right? I mean what the hell was I thinking, that wall doesn't even look like a door....
He felt a great need in admitting that he was super tired but he didn't want it to effect their walk home. Desmond had reached out to touch his shoulders, he felt Desmond's hands shaking. It had to do with touch, oh how he wished he could comfort his crush, he didn't want him to worry anymore. He nodded his head slowly when Desmond told him that he needed to be more careful. Your right, I can't be zoning out like this.... Desmond lead him towards the direction of the door. "Thanks Desmond." He answered when his crush opened the door and he walked outside. I don't know if I'll be able to walk home. I want to but... I feel like I'm going to zone out again. He walked for a few minutes and suddenly stopped, to him, he thought he almost randomly walked into something, when in reality, there wasn't anything in front of him.
Concern remained obvious across Desmond's countenance as he remained close to his exhausted crush. There was uncertainty touching the ginger's eyes the longer he stared at Zachary; the man appeared absolutely out of it. The amount of overworking he was accomplishing was becoming evident in the unsteadiness on the stairs and blatant confusion of walking into a wall. The attempt of reassurance from Zachary failed to calm the nephilim who continued fretting over the physical condition of his crush. When did nearly falling down the stairs and walking into a wall constituted as 'okay'? There was no possibility that Zachary was healthy in the current situation. While Desmond's hands shook, he managed to plant them onto his crush's shoulders to lead him towards the door. Steps were taken slowly since the nephilim remained concerned about outpacing the exhausted angel.
The thanks that left Zachary's lips resulted in blood immediately rushing to Desmond's cheeks. A mere thank-you brought forth a surge of flustering, making the ginger's face feel hot and possess a red tint that condensed around the cheeks. Heart rate increased and breathing became faster despite the intensity of the situation. There were a few thoughts taken towards how he could get Zachary home and rested, but momentarily, they were disrupted by the sudden flustering. When Zachary suddenly stopped, more worry flooded into the nephilim's face.
"Zac? Desmond began softly. "Maybe we shouldn't walk... You seem really tired."
There was a pause as the ginger continued gazing at his crush, concern obvious in his clouded eyes and worried expression. While he had desired a wonderful walk home with the attractive angel, he refused to allow it under the circumstances of putting Zachary's health at risk. The man obviously needed to spend time resting opposing to walking around in a tired slump.
"... I can teleport you home. You can sleep and I will watch Alice, alright?" Desmond stated.
The scout's stare continued to be fixated on his crush, lingering there because of the immense concern he held. While he awaited the answer, he prayed that Zachary would avoid fighting him on the subject; walking home was obviously detrimental to Zachary's exhausted state!
Zachary listened to Desmond's worried question, he couldn't bring himself to argue with Desmond. Not because he believed him to be right, not because he didn't want to argue..... just because he was too tired to do so. This was supposed to be a wonderful walk with his crush and it had turned into a quickly to make it home so that he could sleep. Life was so cruel at times. He nodded his head in agreement, feeling defeated. On the bright side, being teleported would require Desmond to hold him but that still seemed like it wasn't going to be long enough for him.
Is it selfish that I want you to watch me too? He thought to himself, a small smile had appeared on his face but he didn't dare suggest a thing to Desmond. Baby steps is what it took to try and encourage Desmond to be close to him, baby steps would help them hopefully become even closer, until then, he would have to take what he could get and try and make due with it. "Okay." He answered, it had taken a lot of effort for the words to form out of his mouth. He felt like he was zoning out again, it was a good thing Desmond was teleporting them home instead of him walking.
While a splendid walk along the streets of Lorsette with his crush appeared marvellous, Desmond could not allow for Zachary to walk home. There were several symptoms that displayed a exhaustion that had the potential to be harmful to the angel's health. It left the ginger worried despite his usual offhand disposition, making it impossible to allow his crush to walk home. When no argument was provided against the concept of teleporting, the nephilim relaxed slightly. The concerns about Zachary insisting to walk were quieted with the quiet nod of agreement that the angel provided. The walk could have been filled with a pleasant exchanging of words, but push the attractive man further than exhaustion had to be avoided. The concept of his crush fainting from exhaustion during their walk was frightening and suggested a panicked return to the hospital with Zachary being the patient.
Extensive breathing claimed Desmond as he attempted to calm himself for the close proximity required for teleporting after the angel made a verbal agreement. Gradually, the ginger inched towards his crush, his hands shaking slightly with the approach. While the distance was closed, Desmond silently wished that he could become better at touching considering even minimal contact could bother him depending on the individual. He could playfully be poking somebody, but when it came to his crush, Desmond would transform into a series of shaky movements even getting close; he feared the development of an intimate relationship despite his desperate craving. Slowly, Desmond managed to gently grab Zachary's upper arm and teleport them. Their figures were obscured in a brilliant white light as the nephilim teleported them. After a few moments, they vanished from the front of the hospital, appearing in Zachary's living room.
For a few moments, Desmond glanced around to make certain the surroundings were correct despite his awareness. Mistakes were usually only made whenever the ginger was tired, but after the bathroom incident, he wanted to avoid teleporting into incorrect locations.
"Let's get you to bed," Desmond murmured quietly.
With a soft, shaky grip, the nephilim attempted to lead his crush towards his bedroom for rest; the man still required it after all.
