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.

[attr="class","kaitlynntalker"]Everything was planned inside Kaitlynn's head as she steadily ascended the staircase. She would return William to headquarters and inquire about his relationship with Takumi. There was still a chance she could be incorrect about the blue-haired scout's intentions, however, the faekin's safety was required to be placed ahead of everything else. If an investigation proved Takumi was safe company for William, then they could be reunited. Gradually, she approached the top of the stairs, ears listening to William's words.
Her mouth opened to respond, when suddenly a light shaped similar to a person appeared atop the stairs. The blue-haired man appeared at the top of the stairs. The angel's eyes widened as the man wrapped around William, the other reaching for the basement door. The brunette hurried forward, gantlet-covered hand reaching for the basement door, however, the speed necessary was beyond her capability. The door slammed shut, closing the threshold. The sounds of a turning lock reached the sergeant's ears as she approached the door.
The purple-eyed woman glared at the closed threshold as the distance was eliminated. This man possessed the gull to lock her inside his accursed basement! An annoyed growl escaped the huntresses lips as her hands balled into fists. She began banging on the door, clearly angry.
"LET ME OUT OF HERE OR SO HELP ME!" Kaitlynn shouted through the door. "YOU BETTER BE RUNNING, BECAUSE YOU HAVE HELL TO PAY FOR THIS!"
An aggravated groan lifted from the brunette's throat as she clenched her fists harder. THIS BLUE-HAIRED CRIMINAL WILL PAY FOR ACCOMPLISHING THESE RIDICULOUS ACTIONS! The angel grabbed a radio, bringing to her lips. There was a chance Takumi was already running away, therefore, she needed interception. Smoothly, she flicked on the radio as she prepared to report the blue-haired man.
"I need back up! Takumi Enomoto is disobeying orders and locked me in a FUCKING BASEMENT! I NEED SOMEONE TO WATCH THE AREA AROUND US TO MAKE SURE HE DOES NOT ESCAPE!" There was authority in Kaitlynn words accompanied by frustration.
Meanwhile, she began charging her gauntlets, preparing to blast down the door. Electricity gathered, the sergeant becoming prepared until suddenly, someone called through the door. The familiar voice of Donovan Beckard reached her ears, the unit one lieutenant. The amusement dripping from his voice prompted a clear followed by a disgruntled frown, especially when he CONTINUED TO SPEAK! The angel's mouth gaped as Donovan suggested forgiving TAKUMI for LOCKING HER IN THE BASEMENT!
"HE LOCKED ME IN A GOD DAMN BASEMENT! HE SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO ME!" She shouted the words through the door, clearly infuriated by the situation.
When the door was eventually unlocked and opened, Kaitlynn crossed her arms. With brisk steps, she escaped the basement. She was still displeased with the entire circumstance. Despite her fuming, she remained silently, allowing the lieutenant who resided over Takumi's unit to speak.

[attr="class","kaitlynntalker"]The angel maintained a straightened posture, revealing her taller-than-average height. There were intimidation tactics being accomplished because of the tense situation. As it stood, the words stated by William made her hesitant to trust Takumi, particularly ones which mentioned locking the faekin into a basement or showing him the bed. Even her brief interactions with the blond provided knowledge to his innocent and naive nature. Therefore, the brunette planned on assuring William would not be taken advantage of.
Their first interaction was nothing favourable because of the situation, but Kaitlynn knew William meant no harm. Rather... he accidentally plunged himself in dangerous and sometimes questionable circumstances. Hence the sergeant's caution in verifying William's safety while in the area. When William agreed to wait by the door, Kaitlynn watched him leave for a few moments before locking her eyes back on Takumi. The man appeared to be dismayed by what happened, but the brunette hardly cared about his feelings towards her actions.
As a high-ranking TRS member, Kaitlynn considered it a part of her duties to assure the safety of members to the organization. She followed behind the blue-haired man as he took lead. They walked through the house, closing in on the basement. A door was opened, leading them down into the basement level where the lights were promptly flicked on. The basement appeared to mostly be used as a storage area considering the amount of boxes. From their current position, Kaitlynn surveyed the area with her brilliant purple eyes.
When provided permission to go through his items, the angel nodded at him with acknowledgement. With those words, she marched forward, walking alongside the boxes, eyes gazing inside. She planned on accomplishing a simple survey before informing the head of scouting in unit one about the incident. As she analyzed the area, she listened to the man's explanation for William's phrasing of certain sentences. She could comprehend the idea of the blond innocently stating something without realizing the problems which could manifest from it.
Posture remained straight as the angel poked around slightly, mostly checking each box without accomplishing a thoroughly investigation. As a member of unit two, Kaitlynn did not consider it her place to conduct a thorough check on the situation, however, she could report upon her findings and formulate a suggestion. She was finishing her rounds when the man rudely and snappishly spoke. The sergeant stiffened, glaring over her shoulder at the snippy scout. She did not appreciate being disrespected for carrying out her duties.
She turned on her heel, marching back towards the blue-haired man with a stern and disapproving expression. Members were not supposed to speak to higher ups with that language.
"I'm not impressed, Mr. Enomoto. I was willing to understand your situation, but with how willing you were to disrespect me right now, I'm now uncertain if William should be placed here," Kaitlynn explained coldly. "Also, I will be taking him home. I want to ask him more questions about what was said. Then I will be bringing up what I found with Scout Deputy Vanderfeld and perhaps the lieutenant as well. Now, if you want a chance of having William housed here, I recommend not snapping at a higher up, do I make myself clear?"
While she awaited for a confirmation, Kaitlynn began heading up the stairs. She could hear William's words echo down the stairs, inquiring about their well-being.
"Everything is fine. I will be taking you back to headquarters, okay William?" She called up from below.
The brunette proceeded up the stairs with plans to guide William back to headquarters. She wanted to give a casual interrogation to gather more information about the subject.

[attr="class","kaitlynntalker"]Confusion mingled with concern as Kaitlynn stood, listening to the scout and the blond he was charged with protecting and studying. The words stated resulted in suspicion entering the sergeant's mind, although, she was unaware those unclear statements manifested from William's innocence. She believed there were questionable interactions occurring and the young faekin was merely too naive to realize the weight of those actions. In short, she was under the impression the blue-haired man, Takumi, was taking advantage of the clueless, young man.
Silently, she listened as the topic was changed, seemingly to cover the words stated by William. The woman's purple eyes narrowed, locking hard on the blue-haired scout responsible for the blond. Red painted his face from the comment made by the faekin, suggesting he was similarly embarrassed about the idea or about being caught. The angel was silent as she waited for an explanation. Her stern facial expression accompanied by the hardness of her eyes made it obvious she was displeased with the words she was hearing.
After a groan, Takumi began insisting against anything happening between himself and William. Only moments after trying to formulate a defense did the blond rose and approached them. The young faekin smiled as he explained telling her was not bad and proceeded to mention him desiring to lock William in the basement... Her eyes shifted between them, arms crossed as she listened to the stated words. She remained silent as the blond mentioned leaving, her razor-sharp gaze fixated on Takumi.
"Is that so? While I think it is an excellent idea to leave, William. Can you wait by the front door for me? I want to see this 'basement' you spoke of," Kaitlynn requested, voice stern.
She was growing concerned there was a sketchy operation occurring inside Takumi's home. The word choice used by William suggested something worrisome and distorted the context of the situation. Either way, there was enough spoken about to prompt Kaitlynn to launch a miniature investigation while she was in the area. Alas, she remained wary because of the unit the blue-haired man mentioned. The scout deputy was known for his... questionable methods and manipulative behaviours. While she was not familiar with Brasti Vanderfeld, she heard rumours of his manipulation tactics.
There was plenty at stake should her beliefs be correct. The circumstances of her arrival in Lorsette were ill-favourable and perfect blackmail fodder. A young runaway escaping an arranged marriage now dating the lieutenant of unit two? It was obvious a few buzz words could be added to prompt intervention and fury from her biological parents.

[attr="class","kaitlynntalker"]Everything was handled, the only thing remaining being the small pile of dust on the floor. The blackened dust of a terror was proof of its unfortunate demise. How well it would wash out was a different question. With the terror disposed, Kaitlynn’s eyes were completely locked on the pair of young men. They appeared innocent, merely people enjoying themselves until a terror crashed their plans. A scout carrying out his duties of watching over a young man and perhaps observing and gaining information. The blond was mysterious in terms of abilities, therefore, analyzing WIlliam was sensible for the scouting division.
Hopefully, they would discover new information to assist with understanding the mysterious fae. The angel’s first interaction was messy from lack of knowledge and a giant misunderstanding. The man’s terror magnetizing magic suggested it required research for his safety and possibly to assist the goals of the TRS. The blue-haired scout mentioned writing a report about the incident, prompting Kaitlynn to smile and nod. A soft laugh escaped her lips at William’s response to her teasing words.
Only moments later was the blond granted permission to sit somewhere else. The conversation shortly shifted to more questions. She nodded before she spoke.
“I was checking up on my hunters. The lieutenant would want to make sure they are staying strong on the field, you know?” Kaitlynn answered.
The scout mentioned meaning to do something, a brow raising as she wondered what the issue was. Then arrived the soft words from the blond sitting caused Kaitlynn’s eyes to fixate on Takumi before glancing back at William.
“Uh... Should I leave?” The brunette inquired.
They appeared to be in the middle of a romantic situation. She was unaware of the rules revolving around William and relationships, but she decided not to question anything. If the scouting division entrusted Takumi, then she would assume everything was fine, although, she felt the necessity to mention it later.

[attr="class","kaitlynntalker"]Static leaped between the fingers of Kaitlynn's specialized gauntlets, the preparations to handle the theoretical low level terror being completed. A voice beckoned her, clearly discovering her presence because of the doorway being open. The sergeant hurried, venturing through the house and following the voice. The ruckus of a defensive protocol reached Kaitlynn's ears, successfully allowing her to track down the location of the terror and a blue-haired man. Clenched in his hands was a lamp pole which was, as the radio stated, used to defend against the wicked creature.
She moved quickly, sprinting towards the small, dark figure. The sergeant's foot extended, kicking the creature away. The impish terror collided with the hallway after being knocked away from the blue-haired man. The strong hunter continued forward, extending her electrified hand. The terror was touched by the fingers as Kaitlynn scooped it up, disposing of it through the use of electricity. Suddenly, the creature transformed into dust, fading away from the huntress' successful endeavour. A smile traced Kaitlynn's lips as she turned away, focusing on the man.
The closet doors were flung open, a familiar blond being wrapped into a blanket and an embrace. A subtle note of surprise breached the angel's face as she realized who she stumbled upon. Silently, she watched, an awkwardness flowing through her veins as she watched the two act affectionately towards one another. Was she supposed to leave now? The brunette listened to the introduction, nodding at his words. The man introduced himself as Takumi Enomoto, a unit one scout. He even provided some additional details.
Her eyes flitted towards the young blond spoke, gears turning as she remembered his name. The boy's name was William, their first interaction being questionable because of the shenanigans created by the young man.
"Kaitlynn Harris, one of unit two's sergeants," she stated in return. "And it is nice to see you again, William. I hope you haven't been causing anymore trouble."
The brunette placed her hands on her hips, a playful smile tracing her purple-coloured lips. Teasing was a natural pursuit for Kaitlynn, therefore, she made the decision to tease the tensed Fae a bit.

[attr="class","kaitlynntalker"]White wings stretched wide from Kaitlynn's back as she patrolled the nearby area, purple eyes searching below. The solo patrol was conducted to monitor the capabilities of the field hunters. There were a few groups handling terrors and managing to defeat the opposition. The sergeant was impressed with her hunters capabilities which brought a smile to the angel's lips. Things were going swimmingly.
Happily, the sergeant proceeded to fly, turning to head towards the suburbs of Lorsette. As she glided through the chilly air, the sounds of radio static breached her thoughts. Somebody spoke over the radio, claiming a low-level terror was inside their home. She glanced at her hip, reaching for the device and holding it tight as she flew through the air above. She listened for the explanation, the voice unfamiliar to her, but clearly somebody of the TRS. The angel paused, hovering, bringing the radio to her lips.
"Heading there," Kaitlynn stated. "Just getting a location."
The woman's right hand grasped the radio while she allowed electricity to flow through her specialized, metal gloves. The electricity was stored into the modified gauntlets. When the radio signal was pinpointed and a location provided, Kaitlynn began moving. Her wings flapped, heading deeper into the suburbs, purple eyes narrowed as she weaved through tall chimneys. At a fast pace, the sergeant closed the distance between the home and herself. Eventually, her eyes finally spot the mentioned location, a broken window noticed as she reached there.
She swooped down, yanking the front door open. The brunette's purple eyes scanned the interior, following the noises to navigate through the home.
