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!
Tristan smirked when Nathan blushed and asked what kind of reward. He would just have to wait for them to be in the bedroom for Tristan to show him. He continued hugging Nathan, finding comfort in holding him in his arms, managing to kiss Nathan on the cheek, enjoying the sight of his boy friend blushing. He could hear a vehicle pull up, turning his head to glance over in that direction he noticed the limo. Nathan had reached out to open the door and he slowly got inside, waiting for Nathan to join him. Thoughts of the reward for his Nathan had crossed his mind. He would have to be good, so that he could surprise his Nathan as soon as they returned back to his bedroom. The last thing he wanted was to possibly embarrass his boy friend with his desires to test waters with him. Nathan had kissed him earlier, he wanted to know if he would be allowed to spoil him. Being patient was fine, but if Nathan would allow it, that would be all the happier for him. Besides no harm in trying, right? The car drove back towards the house, he felt excited as he thought about how he'd go about trying to tempt Nathan.
Shortly after Tristan, Nathan entered the limo and stationed himself closely to his boyfriend. Being within close proximity of the blond brought a subtle nervousness to the vampire. There was a palpitation to his heart as he inched closer to Tristan, reaching over to attempt to wrap an arm around his boyfriend. Despite the anxiety, being near his human lover was immensely addicting; almost as though the closeness was a drug. Once comfortable, the limo proceeded to move forward, ferrying them away from the home of his boyfriend's abusive father. For a few moments, Nathan's gaze remained locked on Tristan, his affinity for his the blond becoming obvious from the soft countenance on the vampire face and the faint red that tinged his pale cheeks. Gradually, the green-haired teen's eyes wandered to gaze forward and noticed the review mirror through the small window in the wall that separated the driver from the passengers.
[break][break]
Immediately, Nathan noticed the gaze of the driver in the mirror, the soft expression of understanding accompanied by the shock of realization. The hints would be taken into account, the vampire already aware of the next pieces of gossip to orbit around the servants of the Beckard manor. Master Nathan possessed a love interest, perhaps a new boyfriend and that individual was the blond he cared in after a fainting episode. The wealthy vampire was not opposed to the concept of his relationship spreading through the manor like wildfire; he actually welcomed it. The further the gossip spread, the less he would be required to worry about promiscuous attempting to flirt his boyfriend away; ANYBODY WHO TRIED WOULD PROMPTLY RECEIVE A PUNCH! They continued weaving through the streets, the driver taking them home as requested by the text. A strange silence settled, the vampire beginning to wonder if Tristan was always quiet while being transported.
[break][break]
"... Are you always this quiet during car rides?" Nathan inquired, his curiosity deciding to break the silence.
[break][break]
As time progressed, the driver successfully headed towards the Beckard Manor. With smooth precision, he pulled into the driveway, stopping in front of the wide staircase that led towards the large double doors of the manor. There was a brief amount of time spent staring at the intimidating appearance of the manor before Nathan slipped away from Tristan to open the door. The vampire opened the door wide, doing another gentlemanly bow while he waited for Tristan to exit.
Tristan welcomed Nathan's arm around him, leaning against it, finding himself quite comfortable in this position. When the limo drove, he found himself quiet during the ride. Thoughts were swirling through his mind, though he was reminded that all had been said and done and now the next step in his life would be to head home with Nathan. He found himself pulled from his thoughts when Nathan asked his question. "Oh yeah... sorry." He shook his head slightly, "Sometimes, just was stuck in thought..." He blushed slightly, figuring it might give him the edge of avoiding having to mention what exactly he was thinking of. Once the car came to a stop, he pouted slightly when Nathan got out of the car, quickly trying to follow after him.
The last thing he wanted was to be away from Nathan, no, he wanted to be close to him like glue and never let go. Nathan's bowing was rewarded with Tristan kissing his cheek shortly after he exited the car. I should refrain from trying to figure out how I'd tempt him and just take my chances with actions.... the worst that can happen is that he'd say no... but, I hope he says yes to me instead. He thought to himself, trying to calm his nerves so that he would be much more confident when trying to tempt Nathan.
The comfortable positioning within the limo was marvellous to Nathan as Tristan was leaned against his arm. A faint blush coloured the vampire's pale cheeks as he wore a toothy grin from having his new boyfriend this close. During the entire ride home, he remained unaware of the blond's thoughts and how consuming of his attention they were. The question towards Tristan's quiet disposition during the ride home rewarded the green-haired teen with a blush which immediately brought endearment to Nathan's eyes. There was pure bliss in witnessing red slightly tint his boyfriend's face, Nathan sighing in joy as he pulled Tristan closer to him. A slight pause entered the air as the vampire began becoming curious; what exactly was his precious Tristan thinking about? Fending off the curiosity was impossible, especially considering the mild sense of self-consciousness that battled his arrogance whenever he was around Tristan.
[break][break]
"What are you thinking about?" He inquired.
[break][break]
Once the car stopped, Nathan kept the door open for his precious Tristan while waiting to hear the man's wonderful thoughts. Promptly after opening the car door, his boyfriend exited, the vampire's eyes remaining locked on the divine beauty that he adored with the entirety of his heart. The feeling of lips colliding with cheek brought a dark blush to the hunter's pale complexion. The affection he received from Tristan was incredible, his heart palpitating speedily because of the amazing interaction with the blond. Once his boyfriend was away from the door, Nathan slammed it closed, the driver shortly leaving to properly park the vehicle. When he was free from holding the car door, the vampire offered his arm towards his boyfriend with a pleasant grin placed onto his lips. He desired for Tristan to hook onto his arm, thus he could lead him up the expansive set of stairs that ascended to the front door where servants would open the giant gates and grant them access to Beckard manor.
[break][break]
Silently, Nathan prayed the stunning entrance would impress his boyfriend; he wanted Tristan to think the world of him! The sublime view of his precious Tristan always reminded him of how much he cared about this incredible man. While their dating only just began, the vampire already thought that his lover was the most wonderful individual throughout the entirety of the four dimensions and he was all his. Although, Nathan desired to have Tristan for eternities which warranted the question of turning his boyfriend into a vampire; would he allow it? The green-haired man always remained hesitant to ask, but nonetheless, he desired to spend forever with his amazing Tristan.
Tristan chuckled when Nathan asked his question. "You'll see." He teased, not planning on telling him just yet. Of course whether he tried it or not, he planned on admitting it to Nathan once they got back into his bedroom. Once out of the car, he waited for Nathan to join him, slipping his arm around Nathan's so that he could cling to him once more. As Nathan walked him towards the house, he couldn't help but think back to the moments prior. He was finally free from that place he had to call a home, a place that had given him nothing but pain. Now, now he had a new home. He leaned closer to Nathan, hugging his arm because it was comfy to him. He had never been so excited to return home, but being with Nathan right now, he couldn't have been more thrilled.
Well anywhere with Nathan would make him thrilled but this was the happiest day of his life. First Nathan had agreed to be his boy friend and now he was free from his parents. He followed Nathan to the front door. When the servants opened the door to the front door, he followed Nathan inside. After a few minutes, he lead Nathan upstairs, taking him back into his bedroom. For two reasons, for one, he wanted to still test the waters, two, he wanted to tell Nathan what he was thinking about back in the car. He would walk into Nathan's bedroom, pushing the door closed behind him. "I was thinking about how I wanted to test the water with you." With that, he placed his lips against Nathan's to kiss him.
The teasing provided by Nathan's boyfriend resulted in him raising an eyebrow slightly at the comment. Patience was always difficult for the vampire, but his immense love for Tristan kept his complaints inside. Their ascent towards the front door was spectacular, Nathan enjoying the precious seconds of closeness between himself and his wonderful lover. The warmth shared between their arms being hooked together alongside the general closeness was heavenly. Inside his ribcage, Nathan's heart began palpitating wildly in joy over being around his boyfriend; the man he saved from that horrible excuse for a father. The clinginess that Tristan was displaying brought the slightest hints of red into Nathan's cheeks, his eyes glancing towards the sublime view of his boyfriend. Glimmers of curiosity touched his yellow-green eyes as he began wondering the surprise the incredible man planned.
[break][break]
Their entry was grand, the servants glancing with curiosity towards the newest couple to return to the Beckard Manor; the rumours would definitely spread hastily. Once through the doors, a servant greeted them, Nathan exchanged a few words to explain that Tristan was officially a resident of the manor. Skepticism touched the expressions of the servants as they remained uncertain of the approval of Nathan's parents but nonetheless refused to rebuke against him. Further conversation, the vampire preparing to offer a tour of the manor only to find himself being tugged away and promptly finishing the conversation. They ascended the flight of stairs, the pair returning to Nathan bedroom. The door was pushed open, Tristan closing it behind him while the vampire continued staring at him with curiosity. When his boyfriend began explaining his desires, red immediately touched Nathan's cheeks; he had never been intimate with another individual in the implied manner...
[break][break]
Before Nathan could speak, he felt the delicate lips of his boyfriend push up against his own. Despite the nervousness, the vampire kissed back, his arms wrapping around Tristan's waist to pull him closer. While he remained in unfamiliar territory, Nathan fancied the idea of exploring with his boyfriend and discovering pleasure in it.
