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.

season
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!
Sparks sizzled through Ozaei's face, flushing as he snapped his attention back to Amy. "Bitch I ain't say nuthin! Shut up! Yeah so take backs you... you... fuck you! Let's just fucking go you annoying runaway Noble! Damn... girls..."
Still mumbling to himself, Ozaei shoved his hands in his pockets, looking around. "No really, let's go. I'm hungry. Wanna make a bet? First to the nearest food joint doesn't pay for it!" Without waiting for her answer, Ozaei flashed her a smile and took off, the ground where he stood now decorated with cracks and ruined rock. He was now in a full sprint in the opposite direction of where he intended to go, but of course he didn't know that.
"Ya sure? 'Cause... I'm preeety sure Madame Dolores killed Hera then went to that Greece place, married some idiot and birthed a lady named Hera then killed the father. Is that your Hera or the original Hera that's a 'well established goddess'? Hmmm.... or did she kill Zeus... well sheit, she killed someone with a god-name." Ozaei, not realizing he slipped up and mentioned Dolores, kept talking, trying to make air sparks in the shape of Greece so his date could follow along. Of course, he didn't quite hear her mention how horrible the fall of Greece was. He was certainly going to do it a second time eventually.
Tilting his head to the side, he gasped. "Oh shit!" He shouted happily. "I really am bleeding! Must be an overheating thing. Can't feel shit. Not from bullets, magic, heathens... actually I can feel when the Madame uses her creepy telekine... ah shit. Forget wat I said I said nuthin. By your name. LETS GO!" Grabbing her hand, Ozaei began to charge up. "Whatchu want? What kinda food? Wanna nuke the Romans? Didn't the Greeks hate the Romans? Or was that the Americans? Someone hated 'em and we're gonna go send those heathens to HIGH HOLY FUCKING HEAVEN IN YOUR NAME if they mess up your food!!" Surely, he was attracting a crowd.
"Excuse me!" Ozaei mocked, mimicking her hand placement. "You fucking suck at hide and seek and... SHUT UP. Details don't matter fuck... no matter how much fucking money I lost betting on the stupid fucking game fuck you, spider plant girl." Snapping his fingers, the speed demon mumbled.
"That's right. Those plants. I'll fuckin' figure it out later it sure wasn't no coincidence can your sister do that too?! Anyway anyway anyway ready to bust this lolipop stand? We got a lot to do and uh to be honest it's uh..." Turning his head to the side, avoiding eye contact, he relucantly finished his sentence in a hushed tone. "It's good seeing you again."
Staring at the grinning Amy, Ozaei crossed his arms brow raised. He was clearly unimpressed. "Amy. My guy. Girl. You suck at hide and seek but whatever."
Speeding up to where Amy stood, skidding on the wheels of his shoes to a stop, he yelled for absolutely no reason. "ALL RIGHT crisis averted let's go fuck up some TRS agents or go find that gang bitch lady you were talking about! Should be able to kill them in a few seconds or something. No no no wait fuck that what the fuck was up with those plants?!" He was rambling, saying words faster than he personally could hear them but they sounded like they made sense, so of course he didn't care."
Ozaei's face started to grow into a big smile as he nodded furiously. "Yeah! Yeah I got it that's a good idea will fucking do!" For the first time that day he was finally back to his normal self, somewhat. A weight felt like it was lifted off him, genuine happiness at the thought he didn't have to lethally harm Amy. He didn't stop whatever amount of tears dropped down his face. "Good! Good... I'm... really glad we can do that yeah uh anyway... just uh... you do know Roami's faster than me right? And immoral. She ain't gonna fall for this."
"I..." Ozaei paused, not wanted to admit she was in fact right. He did indeed call himself dumb first. "Shut the fuck up..."
Getting back on his feet, the skater brushed himself off, sparks flying off his person as he did. Stretching, he began to reply to Amy between yawns. "Uh... I guess? I'm guessin' the Madame wants to keep this hush hush else the AP would be here too. By the way the TRS security SUCKS. AP too. Ran right into their shit and fucked their computers up. Bitches."
"Yes you fuckin' are you dumbass- you're a girl?" Ozaei asked, confused. He always thought it was just an appearance thing all these years. Ozaei himself wasn't quite sure if he was a boy or girl half the time after all; he just went with the former most times. "Wait- you're seriously a chick?? Hoooly shit, that's fucked! In a good way!" Shaking his head with a big grin on his face he finally heard all of what Amy said. "Did you just fucking call me a really fucking dumb? I should kill you for that..." he mumbled.
"Anyway... I told you what you wanted to know. Brain."
"Oh um uh... no one outside the market's actually seen Madame Dolores far's I know," Ozaei began, resting his head in his hand as he sit criss cross. "That's where I come in. The public thinks I'm Madame Dolores get it? Or at least some kinda avatar of her. Even the market's allies. Sooo I can pretty much do whatever the hell I want as long as I go by my middle name. Dolores. Madame Dolores works for the Dark Market. Madame Esmeree runs it."
A pause before his face contorted in frustration occurred, Ozaei mumbling as it did. "Dunno how the fuck she keeps up with all this mumbo jumbo personality stuff. You and her are the brains. I'm just fucking dumb."
"They... can't?" Ozaei said shallowly. That was something he didn't know and while it was just a small piece of proof that the Madame was probably lying to him far more than he thought, it was a difficult pill to swallow. "But... it seems like it. She knows AP shit and where the TRS moves and how to sneak into places and... where you were!"
Sighing, he sat down on the cold ground, his energetic outbursts waning as he did. He rubbed his head with both hands as he listened to Amy's ramblings, unable to make sense of most of it. He laughed lightly. "I missed this," he said quietly, "that sounds right I guess. Soo we have to find the Ravager bitch and everything'll be okay?" Ozaei asked, looking at Amy. His demeanor was returning, as was a very, very slight smile. "Wait though, Madame made it so I could act on her behalf. We could use that maybe? My name's Dolores too, after all."
Ozaei looked at Amy with pain-filled eyes before flicking his wrist at the nearby wall, electrifying and smoldering it, reducing it to rubble. Brushing off his shoulders, he scolded his friend. "This isn't a fucking game, Amy. Do you know what she does to me?! You were the ONLY FUCKING PERSON she EVER treated REMOTELY NICELY! There's no figuring shit out against someone who can see the future and REARRANGE YOUR FUCKING ORGANS WITH A BLINK!"
Ozaei, now fully crying with no restraint, began to tremble, though he hoped it wasn't too noticeable. The air heated up in the presence of the high voltaged lad. "If you know some sorta loophole then please share to the fucking class because I don't want to kill you!" His skin began to overheat, smoke emitting from it while his eyes began to glow extremely brightly. "But I WILL do it before she gets a hold of you.
"The fuck-" Ozaei stuttered out as his limbs were entangled in green flora but Ozaei wasn't moved nor concerned. In his mind, this only plunged him further into madness and confusion. "So... Amy. You finally decided to off me... you of all people... the fuck is this anyway.." Electricity surged through his skin as he yanked himself free with speed unseen, literally, the ground and walls scorched as he did.
Turning to the clearly frightened girl, he quickly looked away, not liking what he saw; it only made his tears flow stronger. 'Stop it', she said, but he did not. He advanced forwards towards Amy, slowly. Upon hearing a way out from Amy, he did stop. His eyes livened up a little as if there were hope present in them. "You got a plan? Is that what you're saying? Or is this some trick you learned from Madame? Like with the guns?"
"Yeah," Ozaei replied plainly, "I guess. I dunno. She's got me and that demon devil princess bitch on you. I'm just... lucky I ran into you before she did." Ozaei began to take a few steps forward, closing the gap between the two more before stopping. How oddly slow he was moving. He despised it. There was no fun in this. No thrill of religion or promise of heaven... except for the Madame's paradise. Ozaei truly didn't know what to do except do what he did best.
"I'm uh... happy you found your sister. And if you didn't then hey, you two can see each other in heaven! I'm sure as fuck you'll be going there!" Bellowing a pitiful laugh at a shallow attempt to lighten the mood, his sudden laughter died down as quickly as it was brought on, prompting Ozaei to sulk his hands in his pockets. "Fuck.... FUCK IT ALL WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO?!" the angry boy screamed out, electricity sizzling on the ground around him before he went dead quiet.
In that moment he remembered something important Madame Dolores told him over, and over, and over again, ever since Amy left. Taking a deep breath, he repeated the words that were beat into him with every manner of object: "Don't think. Just do. Madame plans, Ozaei acts..." he said quietly, but audibly. Regaining his composure, he flicked his hood back, no longer hiding his face. His eyes now absent of his usual dapper carelessness and carefree tendencies. The golden irises he had reflected the one his caretaker had, the obvious sign of his years of brainwashing, the only difference being the heavy stream of tears that refused to fade away on his cheeks.
"C'mon Ozaeina! Amy's just your replacement. You have every reason to WANT to kill her... if I don't what if Madame takes me out instead? You're just a better version of me... c'mon just do it..." Ozaei was now thinking out loud, no longer capable of keeping it in his head. He was mentally breaking; indecisive of his own actions now. "Whatever. I'm gonna do as I'm told." Ozaei closed the distance between them even more until he was right in front of Amy. It was a slow walk, but when he got there, he aimed a simple kick to her leg, silently hoping that some miracle would happen and that pathetic kick would be enough to end the Faekin he spent a lot of time with in the past.
Ozaei remained silent as he stared at Amy. Nothing changed much about her, something he wanted to be happy about, or make a snarky remark, but he couldn't. The Madame was probably waiting. Watching. Whatever it was he believed seers do. They're from heaven after all and who was he to start second guessing the reach of that kind of power? Not that it mattered at the moment.
"Do you ever shut the fuck up..." he said, quietly. Shaking his head furiously, he began to mumble incoherent words before, in a mocking sort of way, balling his fists up. He opened his mouth to speak, to completely disregard the self proclaimed cuteness of her hat and the blatant moronic nature of her attitude but... he couldn't. All that came out was a sigh. He wasn't himself today, that much was obviously apparent for all who knew Ozaei. He remained silent for moments more, waiting for some silly action to occur knowing it wouldn't come before regaining his shaky composure.
Reaching back for his hood, he yanked it over his head so he wouldn't have to look at her in the eyes, his own electric irises focused now on her feet. "It means... I'm gonna kill ya, you likeable dumbass," Ozaei muttered out. "Madame's orders- and she knows you're alive this time!" Thankfully, the hood hid his now water soaked eyes, but due to his electricity, the tears simply evaporated into steam. Amy's echoing words helped him little, only making him feel even more conflicted and tired. Between his debt and fear for Madame Esmeree and his odd appreciation for his old friend he's been away from damn near forever, he for once couldn't just run away.
"I gotta. I don't fucking want to but I gotta, so fuck your candy, fuck your games, fuck it all. Let's just get this over with."
Of course the day would come where Ozaei is sent on this mission of all things... but his loyalty was with the Dark Market, and he couldn't just bluff his was out of this one. Wearing nothing but his usual skater getup, he blitzed through patches of wilderness and all that would reside there. Electricity flooded his body as he moved, leaving trails of sparks and charged air behind him. A few times, something so happened to get in his way; he simply ran right into them without remorse, whatever left of them, be it person or animal, left behind him as a mist of red blood. Perhaps he was going too fast, but he didn't care. Not today.
The chill that was in the air and blowing in his face didn't bother him; he was distracted, more so than usual. His face, serious and stern, wondering what he would do if he couldn't go through with what he had to do... if it came to that. He hoped to heaven above she'd decided to just comply, at least long enough for him to think of something.
Ozaei skidded to a stop on his jagged-wheel skates as a familiar voice intruded in his thoughts and strangers blocked his view ahead.
"Eh? Amy?" he said, knowing exactly who it was. The shadowy shapes in front of him just didn't match, but he knew his target was just beyond them. Skating forward slowly, he listened in a little more before becoming irate, a burst of electricity escaping from him in the cold climate. Hell no. He read too many of the Madame's books, he knew how stories like this would go if he didn't interfere.
"Hey you no-good creepy FUCKS!" Ozaei yelled, charging forward and tackling one with absurd speed. "LEAVE HER THE FUCK ALONE! SHE'S MINE!" He screamed, his voice slightly shaky. Wheels still spinning, he lifted his foot up and slammed it into the neck of the guy he just rammed into the ground, the uneven skates he wore digging into his flesh. Standing back up slowly, his serious gaze was ever-present and for the first time in a while he had a good look at the cause of his uneasiness. "Hey... Amy." The Dark Market Noble said solemnly. "Nice stupid hat..."
Amy was furious. She had delivered a message between a couple of Ravagers and then been told to stay in the area so they could easily grab her when they were ready to send a response. It was so incredibly rude of them! There was nothing to do around here. She had already spent half an hour walking around the small back alleys and she hadn’t even run into anyone she could play with.
"I know Greece is still around! Pretty sure that place was supposed to fall or some shit so after this I'll just nuke it real quick ya know what I mean..." A devious smirk grew on his face as he held up two fingers, electricity surging around them. It was small, but the effects of it weren't lost; nearby lights flickered on and off, flowing a yellow hue before calming down. He was certainly going to ruin whatever was left of the old Greece and no one would be fast enough to stop him.
Backtracking, Ozaei sat down where he was, thinking about his words. He sure did call her old. And an object. But... "Hey hey hey Angel, you're like- an angel so like... you're... kinda old... older than.... Hera...?" He said slowly, trying to form a 'compliment'. "BUT YOU'RE NOT AN OBJECT! YOU'RE A GODDAMN ANGEL! The only object on you are my goddamn eyes! Eyes are objects right? ANYWAY hungry? You'll get the best food here even if I have to sentence EVERY LAST WINGLESS HEATHEN HERE to a fiery hell! In your name, of course."
Steam began to emit from his mouth as he finished speaking, a small trail of blood following suit. He was overheating again, but of course he couldn't feel that. His date was his only priority.
