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
season
Summer 2022
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.
With April, an activity check has arrived for members to do! Please post on the AC and tag all your accounts, including WIPs and OOC accounts. Failure to post on this AC will result in your accounts being marked inactive or deleted. Please note, due to a late start, the due date for this check has been adjusted for one time and one time only.
I actually suggested giving opening attacks during the Beta Test, because boss monsters can flinch you with a roar or a ground pound, when you first attack them.
In later missions, you will see glowing stuff on the ground while looking for bosses, pick that all up. it might seem useless now, but it will be useful later!
When you get to the boss area, dont engage right off, wait for it to move towards the stone pillar, then attack its tail, it will jump forward and knock itself prone on the pillar. Only works on this boss monster, but others have tricks as well.
Dont forget to collect the shiny stuff that falls off him!
You can change your controller layout options during the tutorial, it will tell you how. I changed my charge attack from left trigger hold to right trigger hold.
Hey, you wanna see something funny? When you start the quest, theres a cow looking critter. Choose the 'feed' option for the interaction, and then walk behind it. Collect the droppings to make Dung Bombs. You can throw them at the Boss Monster and it confuses them!
Dont worry, its not like i expect you to be ready for high tier Bosses on your first play.
Took me a few days to really get the hang of the fighting system.
BTW! After the tutorial mission, go into your Barracks and interact with the Quarter Master to download and accept all your bonuses and add ons. Lot of decent stuff, plus crafting materials.
I'm going to use voice to text, in settings select Sync contacts, and add my info, it will display my texts as chat in the bottom left corner.
I'm going to main the Light Bolt Gun, i suggest choosing different weapons as you play, find the one you like most. Arch Swords is popular because its easy, but Glaive and are spear are more accurate and powerful if used right.
Load up your system, I'll send the download, should start automatically
My Game Tag is TechnoQueen, you should be friended automatically
*Character Actions*
Rori tweaked the system store, sending the digital copy. Technically it wasnt stealing, she was just using money that was owed to her, but yet paid out, to buy t he copy. She also used her Technokino skills to make sure the game downloaded with all DLC, and added her to his friends list.
Rori stands at just over 5 feet 4 inches tall, and due to a condition known as Neoteny, the retention of juvenile features into adulthood, she still looks like she belongs in middle school.
Rori prefers loose fitting clothing, wearing either comfortable sweat clothes, or dresses. Most often however, she is to be found in flannel sleeper pants, an oversized t-shirt, slippers, with a coffee cup that says 'If this is full, dont talk to me'.
NEGATIVE - Always tired - Short tempered - Anti-social - Works too hard - Little patience
abilities
Technopathy- Technopathy allows Rori to manipulate any electronic device not specifically guarded against the ability, it does not affect magically powered devices, but can affect hybridized technology (Magi-Tech) She is also able to access the internet mentally, as long as she is within range of any device that is connected to either wifi, or cell phone towers.
Electrokenisis- Rori can create and manipulate electrical energy, the more she is controlling, the shorter the time she can control it. Passively it makes her a living Static Globe, standing near her will cause your hair to stand on end. She is immune this effect. Also makes her a lightning rod, unless she wears rubber soled shoes when outside during storms.
3D Scan- Rori can view any object, electronic or not, and gain a full mental image of what the object is made of, and how it is put together. this also works on broken pieces of machinery, allowing her to piece together even the most damaged of cellphones and computers. .
backstory
Other than her Neoteny, Rori has lead a rather plain life. Her mother an American video game programmer, married her father, a Japanese Chef, and she was born three years later. Her father's obsession with playing video games, and her mother's unending appetite for food, has secured a solid marriage.
Rori grew up playing with computers...sometime playing AS the computer using her Technopathy to enter the machines and wreak havoc.
At 16 she dropped out of high school because it was 'boring' and given that she can mentally access the internet, it was no challenge for her. She quickly learned that a high school diploma makes finding a job a lot easier, and found herself hungry, and cold in Lorsette.
She was taken in by a drunk Hunter, who passed her off to his cousin, who in turn handed her over to his bosses, because, in his words 'i dont get paid to babysit'.
Zephyr is still given the cold shoulder for this...
misc
Both Parents are ungifted, adoptable if someone wants to play as a programmer foodie, and a chef gamer...
