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 2022
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.
With April, an activity check has arrived for members to do! Please post on the AC and tag all your accounts, including WIPs and OOC accounts. Failure to post on this AC will result in your accounts being marked inactive or deleted. Please note, due to a late start, the due date for this check has been adjusted for one time and one time only.
it felt it like had been years since she had last sat in the sun. it was still a bit cool, but sitting in the sun warmed her up. it was such a lovely day and she wanted to at least enjoy it before evening came. she wouldn't have a chance to soak up some sun as she didn't clock out of her shift till the evening. she figured the best time to get some sun would be during lunch.
after grabbing a sandwich and chips she made her way outside. she stretched her arms and proceeded to find a place to sit. once she had done so she opened her bag of chips and popped one in her mouth. she closed her eyes for a second and just savored the quiet.
Kyoya was complaining about his electrode it has gotten sand in it. ”damn it” he yelled but then it stopped working all together having sand filling it. As he had tripped several times. He sighed giving up as he laid down in the sand. ”Stupid electrode” he sighed looking up at the sky. Should he have stayed home where he came from should he have? Should he have kept letting people throw him away? ”Damn it all what the hell am i thinking about this shit for. Not like it matters what happened no one cares” he said to himself. He looked up at the sky. @danika
she barely started eating her lunch when she heard someone talking to themselves. or at least she hoped they were talking to themselves. she watched the events unfold. they tripped a couple of times and eventually gave up and laid there. she wasn't sure whether to laugh or be concerned. she popped another chip in her mouth before she got up and walked over towards them.
she laughed softly."sorry, um are you alright?"she asked as she stood by one side and looked down at them."having trouble walking there? need a hand?"
”all I need is for the stupid sand to disappear. It keeps making this stupid thing to malfunction and keeps getting in it” he said sitting up. ”That and slick and isn't exactly cane/crutch friendly,” he said as he sat there. The boy she was looking at had white hair, pale skin, was skinny and has red eyes. He had a crutch cane combo that his lower arm/wrist would sit in on his left side. He has a black metal choker with an electrode box on it that wired into his head behind his ears. He wore a white and grey arrow shaped stripes shirt, dark grey pants with buckles on each pant leg and some boots. He looked only 15 or 16 years old. But obviously had a rough life already. He hates people pitying him. ”I've had to so it alone for a year now and been that way even before i had this thing. so dont think i nees help”. @danika
she felt like an idiot now. she hadn't seen his crutch. she cringed at her previous comment. in her defense he was having trouble. she didn't try to correct herself, it was a bit late for that now."oh that sucks. maybe try putting something around it so that the sand doesn't get in?"sure he hadn't asked for her ideas, but that didn't mean she wasn't going to at least try to help.
she had held her hand out towards him to help him up, but she let it drop as soon as he said that he didn't need help."well the great thing about being here, is that you're not alone anymore."she told him with a smile. depending on where everyone was put they all had a team."well since you obviously don't need help, im gonna go back to my lunch."she told him with a smile."im danika by the way, im a medic."
”Names Kyoya Silverman bodyguard, student part time and TRS scout master,” he said getting up. ”Who says that you're not alone out here?” he said. ”I’m always alone, besides what could be put around it without being able to replace wires when needed,” he said. He then finally took out a screwdriver opening it as sand came out as he smirked. He then flicked it to in as he stopped his foot away from them sending sand and rocks flying in almost a shockwave way. ”That's much better, oh I forgot to mention why I am alone because I’m too dangerous that's what the orphanage said anyways,” he said. ”My gift is vector manipulation,” he said. @danika
she smiled once more."it's a pleasure."she could tell the guy was a bit rough around the edges, but he was rather open about himself. she stepped aside as he started getting up on his own. all that fuss and here he was getting up just fine."my my, you sure must have a busy schedule."she said with a soft laugh.
she cleared her throat."you said you had to take care of yourself, that you were alone. i never said we are."she told him."simply you have a team now. you have others to rely on. other rely on you."she said with a nod.
she simply shook her head as he removed the sand from his device."maybe you should avoid playing in the sand and it wouldn't happen."she said a hint of sarcasm in her tone. she was starting to wish she had gone back to her food. she started to back away, not because she was scared, but because she wanted her sandwich. once she was back in her spot she sat down."oh really. well i mean everyone around here is dangerous. it all depends if you have control."she said after taking a bite out of her sandwich."tell me about it. what can you do?"she asked curiously.
”Man your stupid if you don't even know what that is. How did you get to be a medic?” He said although he wasn't trying to be mean that's just what he thought. ”Vector manipulation is when the user can change the magnitude and the direction (vector) of an object to achieve the desired result.
Vectors can be divided into two types: position (location) and momentum (velocity). The position of an object is its distance and direction in relation to something else, such as another object, and the momentum of an object is the speed and direction of its motion. Manipulating momentum allows for the alteration of both speed and direction, whilst manipulating position allows for the alteration of an object's location in space. Even if the magnitude of an object's vector was zero, it would still count as a vector as it still has a magnitude and a direction.
All forms of matter can be described using vectors, and by exploiting this fact, a user of this power can theoretically create an "absolute defense" that prevents any harmful vectors from bypassing its boundary (possibly doing so by reversing the direction of kinetic vectors or displacing position vectors as to send the associated object to alternate regions in space).
However, I cant do it to more than 5 targets at a time. As well as this thing on my neck makes it so I can only do it for 15 minutes or this things battery runs dead and I end up paralyzed” he said explaining things.
she cleared her throat as she thought about what her retort would be. yet all she did was take another bite of her sandwich. chewing as she listened to his explanation."so you basically bounce peoples attacks back at them. i guess that's impressive."she couldn't help but hide her smirk as she ate another chip. "should you be more careful with it then? if it malfunctions, you're done for i take it."
”That's not your business” which was his way saying yes without having to say it. He then sat on the railing of the building. Not even afraid of falling. He didn't know why she would care if he did drop from that hight.”What makes you think I’m actually wanted on the team” being wanted was a new thing for him. @danika
danika couldn't help but laugh. she shook her head and took the last bite of her sandwich. she still had chips left and figured since she didn't offer any of her sandwich to scout master kyoya, she could at least off him some chips. she held the bag out in front of her."want some? they are pretty good. they have a bit of a spiciness to them, but they are good."
she watched him as he sat on the ledge. she wasn't afraid of heights. it was falling that sort of scared her. were it not for her teleportation ability she would be terrified. there had only been a handful of times she had teleported while falling, but they were all short distances. she pondered his question for a bit."well, if no one wanted you, do you think you'd be in the position you are in? sure the trs are desperate for recruits, but even then they wouldn't pick someone they couldn't use."
”There's a simple reason I think they dont want me. Because I never have been wanted. If i jumped no one would care. It wouldn't impact anyone I dont have a family either so its not like someone would miss me. Thats why i took it so if i do die at least i have died being me” he said. He sighed ”Whatever I dont know why im telling you all this not like id ever take the easy way out” he said. @danika
dani frowned and shook her head."well maybe you haven't found the right people yet."she told him as she went back to eating her chips. it seemed like he didn't want any."please don't jump, you'd at least let me try to save you right?"she wasn't going to stand by and watch him plummet to his death.
"maybe its because im listening and you want someone to listen."she was relieved that he wasn't going to jump. she was tense, preparing herself to use her powers to try to stop him.
”You can stop worrying I'm not jumping. But as for saving me you can try but I'm already to far to be saved” he said looking down then instinctively touching his electrode. He then sighed ”Can i get one of those” he was asking about the sandwich. As he swigged off the railing onto where she had been standing. (not jumping) He then stood against the wall eating using his cane in his left hand. ”Suprised you haven't asked about my past,” Kyoya said as he ate. His red eyes still watching her. He didn't get it wasn't he someone to be used didnt she say that earlier? he wondered. @danika
dani sighed with relief and settled back down in her seat. She hadn't know how close to the edge she had sitting."good, I'm glad. Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't one day. it's not gonna happen overnight."she said with an honest smile. It took her a second to realize what he wanted. She grabbed the wrapped sandwiched and held it out for him."it's all yours."she said before continuing to eat her chips. He didn't seem interested in those.
She laughed softly."I don't normally go around asking people for their life story. I kinda let them do the talking if they want."
