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

[attr="class","smoll"]Rowen is an averaged sized male with a slim build. He has some muscle but not enough to where it's extremely visible. He moves his body around enough but not enough for it to reflect. Rowen has fair skin with pink undertones, his skin remains unblemished having a routine he does to keep it from breaking out but otherwise Rowen is much more of an indoors person and as a result he hardly ever tans. Rowen has thin and arched white eyebrows with sharp red eyes to go with. His lips are thin and nose is small. His entire face is round in shape. His hair covers up most of his face, having messy white hair with a large bang that falls over half of his face and fully covers his left eye. [break][break]
Rowen usually choice of fashion consists of casual clothing, varying pair of black skinny jeans with usual dark-colored scheme tops and various jackets or tops. He wears a lot of blacks and grays w/a nice pair of black converse sneakers.
- DISLIKES: maple syrup, smoke, blood, death, wasting things, being close to someone physically [BREAK]
- As a result of feeling awkward at home and being without friends for a long period of time. Most of his free time was spent online and learning as much things as he possibly could. Various music software or editing programs, to picking up and practicing a handful of languages, to singing and posting covers online, to making online friends and browsing various forums... even watching anime and reading all kinds of manga.[BREAK]
- Rowen speaks multiple languages to mostly be able to sing a variety of things. languages learned: Japanese, and Korean. He's currently practicing his kanji / katakana - hiragana.[BREAK]
- Rowen was crushed by the death of his good friend to a point of where he has difficulty singing. He's capable of doing it but sometimes his voice just won't come out. It seems to be a mental block but he's unable to overcome it especially during high moments of stress or being overwhelmed. it's something that fluctuates.
- He has a youtube channel und where he occasionally uploads covers of songs. His uploads used to be consistent but are now very sporadic due to his issues with being able to sing consistently and his following isn't that large but he does it more for himself than anything.[BREAK]
- Recently, he has been thinking on his friends death a lot. His friend death being caused by drugs has lead Rowen to begin going down a vaguely similar path of addiction to try to understand what happened. Although rowen is in the starting stages of using but he has no idea what he's getting himself into.

TW: drug abuse/overdose mentions[break][break]Rowen was brought into the world when his home was unstable. A marriage that had started out with so much hope and love put into it by both of his parents had slowly dwindled and around the time his mother had gotten pregnant the two began to notice their issues. With each and every month that passed the issues only grew further to a point of where after he had been born and of a few years of age; the earliest memory he had was a custody case between of his parents on who got full parenting rights for him.[break][break]
The victor ended up being his father and that had been the last he seen of his mother for a very long time although growing up Rowen would gradually began to feel like an outsider. It was a few years of him and his father living alone until his father remarried and eventually would go on to have more children with his new wife. Rowen did all he could to get along with her but the feeling of being an outsider and intruder clung to him harshly.[break][break]
Middle School was what had been his saving grace in a time of difficulty. Rowen was feeling lost more than ever and that was when he had met him. He was a male around his age who had been the first to extend his hand out to him. Rowen having been a bit of a grump got quite the scary reputation for himself which resulted in him being outcast from majority of his classmates but this male boldly just waltzed up to him and tried making conversation.[break][break]
Through him was he able to meet a few other students; A group of friends that Rowen never imagined he had the opportunity to make or meet. The pleasant school life was enough to distract him from the discomforting home life he had. The group of friends he had became so attached to were all very good people who he was grateful for. They all shared a passion for music and various other interests but it wasn't until he came up with the idea of making a band.[break][break]
It was a silly thought at first but the idea of it kept getting brought up until all of them were on board; into the idea and their roles in the band all followed. Rowen had somehow wounded up with the position of vocalist which surprised him. He did mention enjoying singing here and there but never did he think they'd all be satisfied with him as singing. Although thanks to their support singing would go on to be one of his greatest passions.[break][break]
The band was into mostly covering songs for a while until the secret of Rowen's song writing came to light. It was an embarrassing moment but he was met with endless gushing and comments of how cool it sounded. With the name undeclared for so long and the fact they all finally had been working together to make their own music; they came up with a name to call themselves... Ask The Undefeated.[break][break]
Rowen poured his full attention into the group and music-making as well as honing his skills as a vocalist. It felt like time rushed by and before they knew it they were in highschool. Rowen had ended up moving out of his father and step-mother's home around this point due to the unfortunate feeling of sticking out like a sore thumb so he moved into a small apartment of his own. He had a bit of financial aid from his father but had also started working to support himself as a result of not wanting to have to depend on him either.[break][break]
Life began busier than ever but somehow Rowen still managed to make time for everything although... due to this busy schedule he wasn't able to pick up on the worrying signs of the friend who brought them all together. He used to be the first one to show up and now he had suddenly became the last-- even going as far as to be late sometimes, there was also the notable change in mood shifts and behavior but Rowen... he pretended not to notice because he didn't want to believe the person that had saved him had changed into someone more worse.[break][break]
After graduation rolled around did reality struck all of them harshly. It was too late when they finally pieced it all together and when their suspicions had been confirmed; it was confirmed with the unfortunate death of the one who was the glue that kept them all together.[break][break]
A drug overdose Rowen and his friends had been told... the whole group was devastated. Presently, his death still wasn't too long ago. Three months later and Rowen still hasn't been able to recover. The band had slowly fell apart due to all of them being unable to deal with the loss of him, they didn't fight... they didn't argue... they just sorta grew apart and Rowen reverted back to the outcast that he was before meeting him.[break][break]
Although this time he even lost the one talent that was brought to life to him by his friend. Struggling with singing to unsure of where he wants to continue on from. Rowen is barely managing to keep afloat and he's not sure what his future holds.
