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!

[break] Jayden has exited the thread. I could not really think of a way to keep him there, so he just left.
Hidden inside a closet with a mere slit of light, Jayden patiently waited for one of the well-clothed guards. The sounds of footsteps across tiles filled the green-haired man’s ears as someone ventured closer. Slowly, the door outside was pushed shut, a soft click echoing before Jayden lunged from the closet. Before the security guard could even utter surprise, he was slammed into the wall. A soft thud reaches Jayden’s ears, the guard being knocked unconscious before slumping to the floor. Hastily, the thief used his enhanced strength to drag the unconscious guard into the closet before stealing his clothing and tugging it over his own. The man was larger than him, thus the criminal hoped the extra layers would add additional padding. Briefly, the closet’s access point was altered to his room, Jayden throwing in his hat alongside the small, fabric mask around his eyes; he had a peculiar preference for wearing it, however, it managed to cover some features. Afterwards, the door was shut, reverting into the exit from the closet and into the hallway.
[break][break]
Before leaving, the thief snatched the Bluetooth earpiece from the guard, observing it and assuring he knew the basic on-off function. Upon entering the lavishly decorate my corridor, the green-haired man appeared similar to any security guard. Alas, it appeared the original plan would run into an obnoxious road bump. Mere steps down the hallway, the alarms triggered, someone either being incredibly reckless or desiring to cause him trouble. Lending trust was a touchier subject, however, Jayden assumed the trouble-causing verdict for his safety. Thieves were never trust-worthy people and, naturally, the Assembly soldier was plenty aware of the notion. Years of stealing from places with the assistance of his twin, Caden, made Jayden familiar with those issues. Alas, the green-haired thief was determined to gather something from the lavish manor. These people did not support the Assembly's goals, therefore, Jayden considered it fair to accomplish what he wished. Quickly, the Assembly soldier began moving, pretending to be a hurrying guard searching for an intruder. Independently, he moved through the building, unphased by the alarm while his eyes searched.
[break][break]
Rooms were labelled, Jayden's eyes searching for a black one with the etched letters of 'SECURITY OFFICE' in white text; he would assume the cameras would be there. The decorated hallway was coloured in a light beige, each black rectangle popping against the lightly coloured walls. Suddenly, his eyes caught it, the imposter guard ceasing movement to read those sought after letters. Carefully, the thief opened the door, a bewildered security guard glancing back. Lack of familiarity was noticed hastily as he rose from his seat and charged; a foolish move. Enhanced strength was activated, Jayden matching the man's charge despite his superior size. The unlikely outcome arrived, the security guard being shoved back and smacking heavily into the wall with a loud thud. Moments passed as Jayden spared a few seconds to stare at the guard, assuring he would be down for the count. Promptly afterwards, his fixation turned to the many screens covered in security monitors, analyzing where the best treasures would be. A brow raised as he noticed several masks inside the manor, however, Jayden refused to question it; there was a goal in mind.
[break][break]
Finally, he noticed one where a blonde woman was escorted from her bedroom which was filled possessed several boxes, thus, the thief assumed he could successfully get a score. Hastily, Jayden returned to the door, closing it before focusing and changing the access point to the ignored bedroom. Once the security door swung open, the green-haired thief discovered the bedroom filled with elegant jewelry. The access point was shut behind him, the door returning to normal. Promptly afterwards, the Assembly soldier hovered his hand over the nod, the subtle click of closing locks reaching his ears. Sealing himself inside would allow him to work peacefully in gathering the items from the beautiful bedroom. Quickly, necklaces were grabbed, anything not locked inside a box being shoved into the depths of his pockets. Without hesitation, Jayden moved through the bedroom, his main fixation was a large vanity with a huge mirror with a gold-painted trim. Dark oak composed the remainder of the giant piece, making a striking, but welcomed, contrast between the gold colour and the dark wood. Several jewelry boxes littered the surface while other necklace dangled or laid, idly waiting to be worn.
[break][break]
Everything without a box was scooped up and placed into an available pocket before any pocket-sized boxes followed. Afterwards, the jewelry boxes were stacked and balanced on a single arm. The precious jewelry was gathered, thus, the time arrived to vacate the bedroom and return home with a stunning haul. Without worry, Jayden walked towards the bedroom door, hovering his hand over the doorknob. The access point was altered to become his bedroom, allowing him to enter the location he wished. Behind him, the door was shut and the doorway reverted to the regular locations. There were plans to show off his marvellous haul to his twin brother, however, that would wait until Jayden sorted through the jewelry. If somebody else was given credit for his work, Jayden hardly cared. Based on his opinion alone, a great thief entered a location and left similar to a ghost. They avoided unnecessary attention and left their victims to panic upon discovering their missing items. Klepto, the Assembly soldier, left no calling cards, not even feedback on videos a majority of the time. Nobody was aware of there being two, however, everybody in the Assembly of Phantoms thought, Jayden Milton was an excellent soldier, informant and thief. Never would they realize only two of those notions were correct.

[break] Welp, Jayden is just going for it. lol Rainer is free to follow him, I don't see Jayden really being against it considering he gave the info.
Raindrops tapping on the window's glass kept Jayden's attention, his green eyes quietly watching. The hard falling drops collided against the glass, rolling down the smooth surface. Silently, the Assembly soldier stood in his position, hands hidden inside the pockets of his trench coat. Time avoiding his parents was valuable to the green-haired thief, their voices already haunting him with their constant lectures. Intelligence was never Jayden's strongest suit, thus, they persistently badgered their son about his career and capabilities. Alas, scouting remained beyond the Assembly soldier's grasp, thus Caden handled those difficult tasks while he fixated on the physical dirty work. Another sigh escaped Jayden's lips before he allowed his green eyes to wander around his surroundings, however, he discovered something rather unpleasant. A frown touched the green-haired man's face, yet, expression-wise Jayden remained void of emotion. Surprise could hardly breach his features at the notion of somebody living inside the abandoned building. People accomplished whatever was required for survival, therefore, somebody taking advantage of this abandoned location when low on cash appeared likely.
[break][break]
The question prompted Jayden to point a thumb over his shoulder, the pouring rain being his reason for entering the abandoned building. Alas, the dark-haired man began rambling on about his score before informing him about a, particularly wealthy neighbour. A brow raised, the calming rain forgotten in mere moments because of an opportunity. Perhaps he could steal something to improve his horrible mood. As a result, he silently followed the mysterious man, however, he kept his guard up; deception was always a possibility. Carefully, Jayden peered from a safe distance, watching the patrolling guards until a pattern was recognized, afterwards, he moved. Whether the stranger trusted his skills and followed was an entirely different question, however, Jayden knew he could smoothly enter without tripping the security system. Cautiously, the thief moved, steps light as he ducked into the bushes beside a secure door. Pressed against the home's wall, Jayden approached the door from the cameras blind spot after all guards passed. A single hand was raised, eyes flashing red before turning green, and once his hand twisted the doorknob, it swung open without triggering an alarm; almost as though somebody used a key or passcode.
[break][break]
With that, Jayden entered, green eyes flitting around the hallway before ducking into a nearby hall closet. The thief planned to have the door cracked open; he required a disguise after all. Hopefully, an opened front door attracted a guard over to investigate the situation. Cameras were everywhere, thus having a disguise would make anybody watching him hardly pay any mind.

Hasty, shallow breaths blew through Jayden’s slightly opened mouth the longer he maintained his close proximity with Carter. The ravishing blond held a staggering appearance that manifested symptoms such as an increased heart rate and sudden bashfulness. Those aquamarine eyes sparkled wonderfully, the breathtaking view allowing Jayden to briefly lock eyes with the man creating these peculiar, abrupt reactions. Everything about this man was absolutely magnificent, the conversation transpiring between them creating a joy. The grip around Carter’s wrist continued, however, a gentleness was found as Jayden lightly clung to the wrist. The warmth in physical contact was fantastic, the green-haired man enjoyed feeling the soft flesh beneath his calloused fingers. Unfortunately, bystanders caught glimpses of the pair down the alleyway. They recognized the Assembly soldier and thief, thus the police were inevitably called. The request to see him again blossomed a deep red in Jayden’s cheeks at the thought of Carter wanting to see him more. A nod of approval was given, the green-haired man desiring to see the beautiful blond again.
[break][break]
Sirens echoed in the distance, Jayden glancing at the mouth of the alleyway. A frown touched his face because he would be forced to part from Carter. The whispered words caught Jayden’s attention as he nodded in agreement again. Hesitantly, the Assembly soldier released the blond’s wrist before turning heel and bolting for the nearest door. He hovered his hand over the doorknob, unlocking it before changing the location to home. In a matter of seconds, Jayden disappeared from the scene but failed to realize the precious item he unintentionally exchanged; his favourite green fedora.

Shades of embarrassed red covered both their cheeks, Jayden's eyes analyzing the blond's adorable blush. Witnessing the endearing colour of Carter's cheek thoroughly attracted the green-haired man's gaze. The flustered reaction from the compliment warmed the thief's heart, positive emotions washing over him. The transcendence of this happiness enveloped Jayden, embracing him tightly and fueling those amazing emotions swirling inside his mind. Complimenting Carter was oddly pleasant, a bashful smile twitching briefly onto his lips, however, it disappeared quickly. The thief was never a particularly expressive young man, usually only displaying his inner emotions in fleeting instances unless around his twin, Caden. The reciprocation of name compliments began, Jayden's heart immediately pounded against his chest at a rapid rate. Blood filled his cheeks, redness becoming contrast against the pale complexion. Red was obvious as it spread across his cheeks and the bridge of his nose, the thief nervously glancing away. Shyness consumed him, Jayden never being complimented, especially with such words as manly, ultimately making him feel special.
[break][break]
"Th-thank you..." Jayden mumbled, heart, beating rapidly; was this a heart attack?
[break][break]
Those flustered emotions proceeded when the green-haired man inquired about Carter's reason to purchase the stolen item. Unfortunately, the motivation behind the blond's actions made Jayden's heart skip beats. The Assembly soldier's eyes widened, cheeks reddening further as he quickly glanced at Carter. Before the thief could speak, the peculiar man began explaining why he enjoyed paying for these stolen items, stating how he received his attention. Bashfully, the green-haired man glanced away, silenced by the benevolent compliments. When Carter stated he won, Jayden's face was consumed by redness, the man remaining quiet as he got absorbed in his fluster.

Mere acquaintances, yet, their reactions to one another suggested something more to any passerby who spared a hasty glance down the alleyway and discovered them inside. Close proximity, a one-sided exchange of flirtatious words and both with their faces reddened by embarrassment. Alas, Jayden discovered enjoyment in their closeness and the small conversation they started, although, he remained confused by the situation. There were no concerns about the mysterious blond contacting police or potentially being an officer himself, in fact, the thief found himself oddly comfortable around him despite the nervousness ravaging through his mind. Safety enveloped him, similar to the comfort of a warm blanket as he remained in the man's presence, flustered, but oddly pleased. Patiently, Jayden awaited to hear this magnificent man's name, the thief finding himself genuinely curious about the individual he came across. When the man provided his name without hesitance, the Assembly soldier's eyes widened in surprise. Once the name was provided, the green-haired gifted glanced over the beautiful man, admiring the adorable redness of his cheeks.
[break][break]
There was hesitance when Carter, the blond, requested reciprocation in the name exchange. Briefly, Jayden's eyes flitted to the ground in contemplation before returning to his acquaintance.
[break][break]
"Jayden," he murmured softly. "... I... I like your name..."
[break][break]
Quiet words escaped the thief's lips, the nervousness making it difficult to speak without the slightest hints of hesitance entering his voice. Silence drifted over the green-haired man as he awkwardly avoided eye contact, anxiety grasping him firmly, remaining there until the man answered his question. Instantaneously, Jayden's eyes locked onto Carter, wide with shock at the unexpected answer.
[break][break]
"... But why?" Jayden inquired, murmuring it quietly.
[break][break]
Complete comprehension of Carter's intentions was impossible for Jayden, the young man tilting his head to the right in confusion. Nobody desired to pay for stolen good considering they would never receive the item in question; there was no reward for purchasing it with hard-earned cash. Therefore, the venture would be a complete waste of money without any benefits being received by the buyer. The selfish-minded thief could hardly understand why somebody would accomplish such an action, unaware benevolence could fuel these choices.

Pounding against Jayden's sternum was his heart, the flustered emotions consuming his mind affecting the entirety of his body with little issue. Resisting the subtle embarrassment from enjoying his closeness to the blond stranger was difficult, thus red remained painted across his cheeks and the bridge of his nose. The heat in his face only confirmed how nervous he felt in the current situation, the temperature ticking higher with each passing second. The sound of his heart thumping in his chest sounded loud in his own ears, the regular noise becoming a fabricated jackhammer from his intense anxiety. Alas, despite the seemingly continual sensations of bashfulness were notes of exhilaration from the close proximity between himself and the gorgeous blond stranger he discovered. There were temptations to return the playful actions and enjoy these precious seconds with the mysterious person creating these peculiar reactions. Their closeness felt necessary like it somehow fueled Jayden's life force standing close to the playful blond. The reciprocation of the hat question surprised Jayden, the thief lifting a curious brow when the stranger stated he enjoyed the clothing article as well.
[break][break]
A hand reached out, Jayden slightly moving away as his eyes darted towards the movement, but confusion held him in place. Softly, the stranger's hat was placed onto his own head, resulting in the thief glancing at the mysterious man and slightly shifting his head to one side in confusion. Subtle hints of red touched the blond man's cheek, resulting in the Assembly soldier's eyes widening slightly in surprise to the unexpected action. There was something adorable about witnessing the charming, young man blush because of his presence, but it heralded one question. Why was he blushing? The green-haired man could hardly think of a reason behind the blond's reaction to him.
[break][break]
"... What is your name?" He murmured the question softly, making it hardly audible.
[break][break]
Patiently, Jayden awaited the answer from the stranger, genuinely hoping to place a name to the adorable man occupying his time. There was something special about this particular young man, and the thief was absolutely certain about that, he was merely uncertain about what exactly it was. There was a slight quickness to his breathing, Jayden's nervousness about the current situation still remaining in subtle body language. The rapid beating of his heart, the everlasting shade of embarrassed red on his face and heat still rising in his face.
