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.

Finish the interaction and escape, that was Roxanna's master plan. Once she escaped, she could forget about the earlier transgressions, enjoy her drink and proceed on her merry way. The brunette maintained a cheerful smile, attempting to lower any negative opinions focused on her. The lycanthrope's ears remained pricked and attentive to applify the atmosphere of a content canine-shifter searching for a delightfully sweet drink. Alas, the tone of the cashier's thank you only suggested his rotten behaviour towards work.
Back in her teenage years, Roxanna was forced to work a meagre minimum wage customer service job. It was a mundane operation, but only terrible when one received those customers who believed they deserved special privileges. Their self-importance was a drag and occasionally, Roxanna was forced to retreat into the back room and request the business owner to speak with them; oftentimes it quieted them. Although, only moments later did the foolish young man decide to create more derogatory comments towards her in a muttered tone.
The lycanthrope ceased fetching her cash, red eyes narrowing into a glare and arms crossing. The disrespectful attitude of this man was unprofessional and Roxanna did not appreciate being called stupid because she did not provide the size of the cup! When a price was given, the lycanthrope's eyes remained steady on the young man.
"Excuse me, but I don't appreciate your little comments," she began, ears twitching. "You do not have a right to speak to your customers like that! They are the reason you get a paycheck and tips!"
The young brunette was starting a scene, however, she hardly cared anymore. She planned on declining her drink and forcing informing him to pour it down the drain before leaving to go elsewhere! If the cashier wanted to treat her disrespectfully for asking for a drink, she would not be giving him the time of day or supporting the business that hired him!

Excitement danced through Roxanna's veins as she stood at the counter, tantalizing thoughts of a chocolate delight swimming dreamily in her head. She was forced to cease the potential signs of happiness her wolf tail would display, however, her ears were pricked and attentive. The young, lycanthrope woman had approached the counter while displaying polite behaviour to the cashier. Theoretically, this man, who appeared to have some snake-like qualities, would be making her the precious drink she sought.
As she provided her order, her ruby red eyes wandered, spying the menu and rows of machines designed to dispense the required beverages. Somewhere amidst those machines would be the one that would grant her the sweet delight of hot chocolate! A broad grinned played across her lips at the sheer thought as she waited patiently. Unfortunately, she foolishly forgot to provide the young man size for her drink. Alas, the manner he asked raised the brunette's brow subtly as at the tones in his voice. If he wished to hide the sounds of his voice, the lycanthrope could detect every questionable note.
Her expression dropped, turning neutral as she eyed the man behind the counter. Did she do something wrong?
"Uh, just a medium please," she answered, voice toning down in cheerfulness.
There was hardly pettiness in Roxanna's mind, however, unexpected negative tones could dampen the happiness parade for anybody, but she would not argue. In these situations, it was easier going through the line and pretending nothing happened. Slowly, her stuttered smile curled up again, although, artificial. Showering rude strangers in a pleasant smile was difficult to accomplish, but avoiding trouble in a crowded cafe was better than starting creating a disruption in her opinion.

On a warm spring morning, Roxanna poured hours into capturing her recent bounty. The crook was a bald man with a massive face tattoo which gave away his identity in a meagre few minutes. The fight had been a humourous show with the manner he spoke, almost as though he would be her greatest fight yet. Unfortunately, he disappointed the female lycanthrope by being majorly a whimp incapable of lasting a few milliseconds in the ring with her. A simple twist of his arm, some additional force from her enhanced strength and he tumbled to the ground bawling like a baby.
A pathetic scene for somebody talking big and holding the muscles to supposedly match those words. Either way, the brunette hastily turned him over to the Hallow Order officials without batting an eye. She received her payment and thus continued on her way. She was a competitive girl, therefore, she had hoped for a challenge, but Roxanna would never turn down easy cash. The young bounty huntress could use it for sweets or paying her bills after all. Her arms reached up, a yawn escaping the lycanthrope's gaped mouth as she arched her back.
She rolled her shoulders while her arms lowered to her side. A few additional blinks were accomplished as she stared ahead, an expression or no amused. The woman wore a pair of black shorts that covered her bottom and a forest-green short-sleeved shirt over her torso. She wandered through the northern portion of Lorsette, passing by the varying buildings, eyes searching for something to entertain herself. Anything seemed more satisfactory than aimlessly wandering through the northern area without an idea of what she wished to do.
Her eyes passed by people, smelling the scent of coffee. The lycanthrope inhaled the scent, a gentle smile playing across her lips as the individual passed. A 'hmm' escaped her closed lips as thoughts weaved together an idea of what she wished to accomplish to improve her day. The brunette's steps quickened as she wandered down the sidewalks, red eyes combing through the signs as she navigated the location around them. Finally, her gorgeous red hues locking onto the sign above that had a crescent moon logo with a coffee cup with cursive words saying 'The Crescent Moon Cafe'.
Quickly, she turned towards the glass door, pushing inside, her pricked ears hearing the soft 'ding' of a bell. It heralded her arrival into the business. The woman walked forward, entering the line of people intending to order beverages from the front counter. She planned on purchasing a cup of sweet hot chocolate with a heap of whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles to top it off. It would be a delicious treat for her after the disappointment of not receiving a proper fight. She planned on happily consuming the beverage.
Finally, she approached the counter, the final customer in the short line. As she stood across from the individual, she favoured them with a soft smile.
"Can I please get some hot chocolate with some whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles, please?" Roxanna asked politely.
Patiently, she waited, hands fetching for the small wallet in the pockets of her shorts. Quietly, the woman opened her wallet, planning on using her victory money to purchase the drink.
[ Hope this work! I left it open if you want Seszitaz behind the counter when she orders. c: ]
Standing at the non-intimidating short height of 4’11”, few people consider Roxanna a force to be reckoned with. Unfortunately, those foolish souls would hastily be proven wrong by this tomboyish, rough and tough woman. Beneath the layers of clothes that hide her physique, this young woman holds immense power. Constant exercise has lended Roxanna a frame covered in lean muscles that have been maintained because of her occupation. As a result, she is a strong, young woman even without her lycanthrope genes. While she is muscular, Roxanna still manages to maintain an hourglass figure and larger breasts. There is a fairness to her complexion and a surprising lack of scars despite her bounty hunter, alas, as expected of a fighter, she does have calloused hands. Around the base of her tail bone is a long chestnut-coloured tail with subtle hints of hickory in certain light.
Granted an elegant facial structure from her parents, Roxanna’s face is quite attractive. Her cheekbones rest high upon her face, leading down to a strong, slightly pointed chin. With a slender, petite nose, Roxanna’s features are considered a magazine definition of beauty. In bouncy waves, trestles of chestnut-coloured locks flow from her head, reaching down to her lower back. In certain lightings, her hair can take on a more hickory colour with subtle hints of red tingings. During work hours, Roxanna will sometimes bind her hair into a large bun. Sprouting from her head are a pair of wolf ears, the colour of the fur matching the colour of her hair. The insides of her ears are fluffy and white in colour. Peering from above her cheeks are a pair of red eyes with a subtle amber tinge to them. Their brightness causes them to be striking.
Attire is something Roxanna prefers in a casual style since they are neither too lose or tight for her occupation. Being a bounty hunter means blending into crowds and assuring no criminals detect her, right? As a result of her occupation, Roxanna attempts to touch some basis with trends and avoids standing out. Usually, she prefers the tomboyish aesthetic with blue jeans, maybe some small rips at the knees, a white shirt and plaid blouses. Alas, she does have a long range of attire graciously fashioned by her aunt who adores creating outfits. Constantly, Roxanna will wear a good pair of running shoes along with a temperature regulating bracelet. She refuses to wear long dresses since they can easily get tangled around her feet.
As a lycanthrope, Roxanna is granted both a wolf form and feral form. Her wolf form matches a small red wolf, her fur possessing a slightly darker colour to a most of that species, but does lighten. Meanwhile, her feral form has a similar fur colour to her hair, the chestnut to hickory shades of her hair being magnified. When in this form, Roxanna’s height becomes 5’7”, making her taller than usual and slightly more menacing than in her petite female form.
Enhanced Strength -- Advanced The ability to access strength beyond that of an average human being. As somebody of her short stature, Roxanna prides herself with her unexpected strength. Despite her small size, Roxanna is capable of lifting a car above her head and hurling it. Her strength is a frightful ability, going lengths to grant her the capability of punching through concrete walls. If she gets a hold of a person, she can throw them far or do terrifying amounts of damage. Alas, the strength arrives with a cost. Consistent use strains Roxanna’s muscles, eventually resulting in them requiring rest from overwhelming soreness. Sometimes this can result in Roxanna becoming bedridden to give her muscles a proper rest.
Enhanced Speed -- Advanced The ability to access speed beyond that of an average human being. Less unexpectedly, Roxanna is capable of moving extremely fast. This allows her to dodge attacks and weave around people without issue. Even her reflexes are enhanced because of the influence of this ability. She can speed past cars with her speed and outrun a completely fit human. Similarly her strength, Roxanna’s muscles will become strained and sore, possibly resulting in her being bed-ridden.
Lycanthrope Shift -- Intermediate The ability to shift into two different forms, one being that or a wolf and the other a wolven beast. In wolf form, Roxanna is faster than in her human form when enhancing her speed. Similarly, this form’s senses are slightly sharper, especially her hearing due to the cone-like shape of her ears. The other form, her feral form, is stronger in comparison to her other forms. Her muscles grow larger and she even becomes taller from shifting into her feral form. Strength becomes more powerful upon shifting into her feral form. Although, it is a little quicker for Roxanna to shift into her wolf form opposed to her feral form. Depending on the transition of the moon dictates how fast Roxanna can shift. On full moons, it takes her approximately 40 seconds meanwhile on new moons, it can take 50-80 seconds. Oftentimes, she will use her wolf form if anything to sneak around the wilderness if her target is located there.
Naturals: Enhanced Endurance, Enhanced Senses
backstory
From a rather average family, Roxanna was born to a pair of lycanthrope parents. The father was a police officer and Roxanna’s mother a TRS huntress. They were good, marvellous people, a pair of loving individuals to their sweet, little daughter. Their occupations made them somewhat overprotective of their daughter throughout her toddler years. They fought against criminals and the Assembly of Phantoms in hopes of creating a safer world for their little girl. She was everything they wanted and the thing they would strive to protect at every turn. They considered it their jobs as parents to keep their precious little angel safe, however, little were they aware of the beast lurking inside. They were lycanthrope parents raising their daughter, someone who would become a brave, independent young fighter.
Through her childhood, Roxanna was a somewhat spoiled child being showered in treats and toys. As an only child, she was the only one her parents could spoil, hence plenty of time was devoted to her. In public school, her kindergarten years featured her coming with a new toy almost every two weeks. It made the brunette a fortunate young child and infinity thankful towards her parents for providing these gifts. In elementary school, she was noted for being a tomboyish young girl. She adored playing sports, especially hockey when she was younger. Whenever there was a competition, Roxanna dived straight into it, determined to become victorious or a somewhat sour loser. Alas, her teachers would get the sourness out of her as they encouraged good sportsmanship. Eventually, she became a cheerful victor and graceful loser. It earned her positive feedback from her peers.
As the young girl rose, she looked up to her heroic parents, watching as they became stronger as fighters. From those tender, easily-influenced ages she admired them, wanting to strive for something similar. She constantly pleaded with her parents for training, but they were hesitant to cave because of her age. Rather than proper combat training, her parents assisted Roxanna in learning her abilities around the young age of 10. It was exciting for her to be involved in this training and gave her plenty of exercise. At times, she would accidentally run into the fence and cause a giant mess from her enhanced speed. However, she was capable of enduring and would rise to her feet shouting “I want to try again! Again!” Naturally, her parents were charged with replacing everything Roxanna broke, but their sweet little girl was difficult to say no to when she was extremely excited. Several hospital trips and replaced items later, Roxanna was showing improvement in her control.
There was still a wobble to her abilities, but improvements were a positive evolution. Through the years, they trained Roxanna more and more in her abilities. When she was 12, they teached her dodging moves with the use of soft foam balls and through enlisting her in gymnastics. She was flexible and graceful as she moved through the air. It impressed her parents who failed to realize the path they were leading her down. These were not mere desires to defend herself should need be, but rather wishes to become somewhat of a hero. At age 16, Roxanna was showing great capability in her fighting skills. In sparring matches, she could sometimes out do her parents in a one on one match or even conquer her lessons of being outnumbered by the enemy. The great improvements resulted in Roxanna starting her research for a job after she graduated.
One evening after extensive research into a company, Roxanna triumphantly descended the steps and slammed a freshly printed paper onto the desk. The paper was about the infamous Hallow Order, a group of bounty hunters. She explained to her parents about how she wished to become a bounty hunter and help people similar to how they did. Her parents attempted to argue, but Roxanna would bring up her wins and increasing skill level. Not to mention, the fact she would be required to join at 18 when she would have full control of her life. Her decision eventually prompted hugs and a declaration that she would be trained further in preparation for her career path. Thus, Roxanna trained harder, becoming stronger in her abilities and fighting capability. Skills were sharpened and studies balanced with her training to become an excellent bounty hunter. She graduated at age 17, the remainder of that time being divulged into her training until the sweet bliss of her 18th birthday arrived.
On that November day, Roxanna enlisted into the Hollow Order, proving herself to be a capable opponent. Through the years, she fought tooth and nail to get higher into the order. Two years in, she became a Battleshroud and now she is fighting harder than ever in hopes of becoming a Felbrawler.
