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

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!
It was the pain in her head, the throbbing, and the odd sensation of not wanting to be at work. But, this was her only place where she can belong. Where the flowers dare not mock her, but to welcome her as a friend.
The fallen angel let the water from the canister sprinkle into some of the flowers. They all needed to be looked after. Couples come and go from the shop, asking for the usual requirements for a wonderful Christmas mood. And all she could do was nod and smile. She sent all of her part timers and full timers home for the whole four days of Christmas break -- they deserved it after all; the manager was always lost in thought at the back room.
It wasn't too long until a small robin came into the shop, Imogen looked up and nodded with a smile. "Welcome to Forget Me Not, please wait a moment, I just need to tend to these flowers, if you'd like, just wait a bit over at the register, I think I have some magazines you can flip through."
Watering whatever was left of the flowers and other glorious plants, she placed the heavy canister down and walked over. "I'm sorry for the wait, what can I help you with miss?"
A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat I tried to find the sound But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness, So darkness I became [break][break]

He never asked to be like this -- it was supposed to be a great night to go out in the park. Attacked and almost left for dead by a deranged werewolf, Erik was then cursed himself to go through the same transformation. Wrecking and destroying his entire being; he was terrified as well as paranoid as to what he would become. [break][break]

Maybe that's where your eyes stray first, that bandaged arm. Strange is what you can think of as you look at the woman. She stands so tall for a woman (5'11) and shows no interest in telling you what happened to said arm in further detail. I burned my arm in an accident, I don't want people to avoid me for such appearances that scare them off. You take that in and nod, it's a lie of course.
Her hair is long, perhaps down to the back of her knees. Her style of clothing never changes, short sleeve shirts and long pants. Even her feet are bandaged too, covering them like that, it must have been a horrible accident. Around her neck is always a black choker, it's for stylish reasons she explains to you as you look her over more. What's so significant about her other than the bandaged arm and long hair would be her eyes. They glow a magnificent amber like colour -- perhaps too close to yellow like a cats.
MINOR DARKNESS MANIPULATION: ( advance ) it's the poison -- the one that courses through your blood. choking you, eating you alive. it was the darkness that consumed you first when your sin was first casted. it's pulsing, it's alive, you control it with all your might. it remains in control unless you wish to deal punishment. when you fell, it was your arm that took the toll -- it was your arm that gives you a reminder that you have fallen and now you cover your arm with bandages to never show it to people.
MINOR LIGHT MANIPULATION: ( beginner ) once an angel, you used to practice it daily -- now you don't, in fear the darkness would corrupt you more. as such, you don't use this anymore and if you do, there will only be fear striking at you rather than the enemies.
HEX: ( advance ) back in the time you were once an angel, you were able to cure the masses without any problem -- but after such a period of time, your hex became more familiar with summoning. it's taxing and not the greatest feats of all, but there are times when summoning small companions such as tiny birds are useful for you despite it becoming a toll on your body.
WING MANIFESTATION: ( intermediate ) it was said that those who have fallen were stripped of their wings. cast down from the heavens to never fly. however, there is a little fact that some have kept their wings -- from what was once a magnificent and pure white now is black. the wings themselves are ripped, and look more like bat wing than magnificent doves.
backstory
Imogen oh Imogen, from when was the time did you fall?
i don't remember when it was the time i fell, it was too quick. too fast, the world turned dark and my vision became hazy. who are you to ask such questions from a person who knows nothing more than wanting to repent for a sin? the time i fell was before civilisation decided it was time to kick it into high gear.
Imogen oh Imogen, is this the true name you have given yourself?
my name? how long has it been since i've been on this earth? i used to be the strongest angel when it came to fighting and now, i am nothing but a fallen one. why wouldn't it plague me? for i do not remember my own name... my true name. grant mercy on me.
To the disasters you've struck and the peace you now live, do you deserve it oh Imogen?
no, no one deserves a life they are stuck in. no one deserves to live in exile for what they have done. but repenting, repenting is what saves you right? that's what i have heard from the others... if it works, i hope i can go back to what i once was.
You fell from heaven and now are in hell, Imogen.. you strayed so far... why?
i haven't strayed. i keep true to my word. i don't harm the pure and i only punish the wrongs. what's so different from my wings and... and my arm. i opened a flower shop for the reason to keep myself in check and to help those who really need it. it's none of my business when it comes to stupid mundanes having no control over who they are.
Why do you lie Imogen?
to keep people away from me. for so long... i dare not want people to come to love me or consider me their friend. it's lonely, but this lonely life is what i shall live through. it's what i have been living for thousand of years now. and i don't want the same incident on what happened to that woman happen again...
misc
+ Although she is bisexual, Imogen's sexual attraction/romantic interest is towards females. However, that doesn't mean she has had her fair share of love towards men. She just doesn't like them all too much.
+ Her true name has been lost for such a long time, that Imogen doesn't remember it anymore. Only few angels know her true name.
+ Imogen opened her shop about ten years ago, the name of said shop is called "Forget Me Not" which is a type of native wildflower that takes very little effort to take care of.
+ Despite pushing herself away from humanity and other creatures alike, Imogen doesn't mind on hiring part timers or full timers to her shop to work at the shop.
