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.

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.
The time spent so far with his upcoming friend had been a blast- their time together went by faster than he thought but... as the saying goes; when you enjoy yourself it's only natural everything goes by so quick. He whipped around to watch Riley frolic on over to the window, taking a peek outside since the angel had a suspicion about the state outside. The two may have been having a good time here on the inside of Riley's home but that didn't stop him from picking up on the sounds which came from the outside. "So it's looking that bad, huh?" He had no qualms to staying over but still, weather stuff was always a hassle. "Well... I'll be bunkering down with you." He didn't anticipate Riley getting the opportunity to learn about how poorly he handed mornings so quick but here he was. "I'll do my best to not cause too much trouble."
He rested his arm on the top of the couch as he turned back slightly to watch Riley who had now been leaning against the couch. His brow quirked in curiosity. "Hot chocolate bomb? I'll say this now; I'm not the greatest in the kitchen so if you lead the way I'll definitely be game." He chuckles loudly. "You do sure know how to have a fun time. I hadn't been expecting that to be suggested but mm... it sounds nice. How could I refuse that little addition?"
Nuka pulled his arm back and slowly pushed himself up off of the couch. Following behind Riley eagerly as the both of them entered the kitchen. He gave him his space as he began to go through the fridge. "I would figure, it's not typically the go to choice for alcohol but it works in this case." He hums. "I've never heard of a hot chocolate bomb though... judging by the name- It doesn't explode, does it? We aren't making some little science project here, right?" He assumed it wasn't as bad as it implied but still the image of hot chocolate getting everywhere was slightly amusing.
"Glad to see you found it! but I'm sure the alcohol isn't the only ingredient in this, hm?" He grins as he moved to the side of him.
The smile given was so readily returned by the jolly angel. Not many could be in such a good mood like he was when dealing with treating an injury but Nuka like to think that it was the power of his company being able to boost his mood to these levels. He usually tried to maintain himself when dealing with patients, some disliked a joyous medic but with Riley- he knew he could get away with it just fine. Nuka had suspicion that he might've even preferred the lighthearted conversation with him so it was why he grew so comfortable with talking about whatever came to mind.
"Good good... I don't have to warn you further, you already know how it works." A gentle chuckle falls from him as his mind finally leaves their topic of lollipops behind. It would never not put a sheepish grin on his face but still, Riley going along with it made it all the more entertaining. The two had similar sense of humors which is probably why they clicked as well as they did. "Oh! Speaking of which! There's just something sooo funny about all of this I wanted to tell you, Riley." His hand continued to hold the gauze carefully to the wound as he continued with healing.
"You know- earlier... a while before you returned! I had been feeling pain in my arm as well. Cut no more to like half- an hour later. Here you are! With an arm injury, isn't that so funny?" He snickers. "Dare I say we might even be... pain twins? Is that a thing? Maybe not but we can say it is a thing so I look a lot less dumb, haha." Nuka rambled on while he thought more about it. He had to take a Tylenol for the pain- it definitely helped but still, every so often the pain would spike back. It wasn't as bad as it initially came and he couldn't recall doing or bumping into anything that caused it.
"Ooooh? Does Riley want to spend more time chatting me up, huuh?" He did start the conversation about hanging out first but he hadn't expected Riley to bite so quickly. It made a tiny part of him beam in further happiness; glad to be validated that Riley wanted more time just as Nuka did. Talking about stuff within the ward was cool and all- but hanging out outside of it would be even better. "Though... I definitely can make time for that." They could be free from the smell of medical products and the insistent ambience of the ward. Some more privacy too! "Mmm... do I have your phone number? Just making sure." He hadn't recalled if he got it in their last interaction or not since sometime had passed since then.
Nuka shrugs gently, being careful not to move too much. Hand was on his wound and all. "Just a little more and I think I'll be good to pull back and wrap it up properly." He informs him as he settles down back into a much more calm state. Talking a lot increased his energy by a tenfold. "Wow... bar hopping? without an invitation for me? I'm so hurt." He jokes with a grin, "but all joking aside, glad to hear you're doing well. It's... sort of the same for me? Minus the drinking bit but gods, I could really go for a nice evening at a bar."
A knowing hum escaped his lips as his head nodded in acceptance of the unktehi's words. The usual consisted of generally any sort of moderate slice, cut, gash-- you name it. From his knowledge of the hunter he knew bits and pieces about his exact strength. It also helped to paint a picture of just how strong he was when he'd only consistently show up to the ward with very similar injuries. He's only seen the male with a more serious one once and he hadn't even been the one to treat him at that time.
"Of course, I'd figure your wounds wouldn't compare but I do hope Shawn will make it through. From what it sounds like he got pretty roughed up but not too bad to where we'll be on edge. He's a fighter so I'm sure he'll come out on top and back in peak shape." The angel drew silent as Riley had went on to explain how the situation unfolded. A few winces and head shakes came out of Nuka during the telling of this. He's heard bits and pieces about how chaotic the battlefield can become but with each story he learns all about... the more he realizes just how much is on the line. Hearing about the hard work of the hunters who went out on the field at a constant to protect them only further motivated Nuka to strive to be a better medic. Clearly they all gave it their all so it made Nuka wish to do the same. "Still... sounded like one hell of a thing to go through."
"If I wasn't working I would've offered you to go out for a nice unwind after such eventful work day." A nice bottle of alcohol shared between the two sounded wonderful but the reality of him having to stay within the ward later than his usual existed. As much as he'd love to go and play around he had a job that only he could fill.
A breathy chuckle falls from the angel as he held a cloth in his hand to clean the mess that was dried blood, dirt, and tiny pebbles. "You aren't wrong about that but you have to promise you won't tell anyone else." The wound wasn't the worse he's seen but it didn't necessarily mean it was pleasant to view. "If they found out I was giving you lollipops and not them? That would be all I hear about for the next week." His smile turns into a grin as he lightly began to clean around the wound. Small gentle dabs to each of the spots that needed taking cared of.
"Sorry Riley! I know it's uncomfortable." He gives a caring smile as his hand continued to clean up the wound enough to where he was satisfied. His hands set aside the first dirty cloth and picked up a freshly new, lukewarm cloth that he began to gently wipe at his wound with. "You should make sure to rest a little and get some food after I finish patching you up, alright? I don't think you need me going on about why it's important but I will do what is necessarily if you don't promise me you'll take care of yourself~" His eyes glanced between his face and his own hands. "I know you're quite the strong but cool man although I'm not gonna let that prevent you from resting as you should."
Another cloth has been discarded to the side as he retrieved a gauze to gently press against the wound in hopes of stopping the bleeding. As he began to do this, Nuka activated his healing ability. His attention momentarily slightly fixated onto the hand that had been pressing the gauze to the wound. "It should heal faster this way but I still want to put disinfectant on. Better to be safe than sorry..."
"Soooo you should tell me what you've been up to! I've missed seeing your face around these parts." It's not often that Riley came into the ward so these moments were the times they had to make up for. "What'd you do since I saw you last? Anything exciting?"
The familiar mop of dirty blonde locks that entered his view when he had entered the ward to greet the patient he'd just been assigned to - or more like did a trade off with one of his co-workers. The hard avoidance was obvious in their request which was why the angel wasn't against it but upon seeing who it is... the angel couldn't help but question the reasoning behind it. He made his presence known with a friendly greeting as he eyed the unktehi from a distance. Both the sight of blood seeping through his TRS jacket and the smell alerted him that he was very much injured. "My, my what happened here, tough guy?" He says with a small grin and a playful tone of his voice.
The distance was closed as he made his approach towards the hunter who he had gotten the luxury to become familiar with through his visits within the ward. He didn't know everything about him but he was able to identify the fact that not many seemed to feel comfortable around him... but for some reason this never applied to the angel. Nuka did fine around him, if anything... the unktehi was easier to talk to than some of the other patients he's treated before. His hands gently moved to touch to analyze where he had been injured, a low thoughtful hum escaped from his throat as his hands gently touched the most wettest part of the jacket which seemed to be around his arm. "I'll be helping you take this off since It'll help me see clearer what I'm dealing with." Nuka pauses while his grin widens. "If it hurts I'll let you flick my forehead in retaliation, yeah?"
Joking aside Nuka intended to do all he could to make sure the removal wouldn't cause any additional pain for the other. The injury didn't seem to be the worse thing he's dealt with but that fact alone makes him sigh a bit in relief. He's happy to see him but at the cost of it being an injury... there was always that risk of it being bad although a stroke of luck seemed to be on his side. "For what it's worth... I'm grateful what you came in with is this than something more serious. " His hands gently moved to begin to slide it off his right arm slowly. It hadn't been the shoulder with the injury but who knew what movement could set it off.
"It'd be sad to see my favorite patient in bad condition." He mumbled softly as one part of his jacket hanged off of him and his hands carefully began to move to remove it off of his injured arm. "Forgive me if this stings or hurts at all. I'll need to get it off." Nuka did his best to move as quickly as possible without hurting the other. There might've been a slight brushing of the fabric against the wound judging by the hiss but he could only hope that was all he did. Once the article of clothing was fully off, he had set it aside to fully devote his attention to treating the hunter before him.

Nuka as he grew was said to be a free spirit by those he involved himself with or was around. He did whatever his heart wanted and it was how he learned a lot about himself. What it was he liked, what it was he didn't. He was a youth who refused to be silent if he felt he had something that needed to be said.[break][break] Nuka graduated shortly with flying colors, his interest in becoming a medic first sprouted when he had been fifteen. Having a father who already worked within TRS was only a further motivator but the idea of being able to heal people with his own capabilites made Nuka want to do his very best. It was on his 17th birthday did his state his desires to his parents and from that moment onwards had they go on to support him. So around the time he had graduated, he had already long been starting working with TRS.[break][break] Going through the nesscary steps to become a Ward Medic and it was how he eventually achieved the goal.
