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 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.

she smiled and listened as caleb told her that he did have an idea. that was good, she was glad she wasn't the only one having fun with this. she couldn't wait to see what he came up with. even though she had jokingly said a minute, she new it was going to be impossible for her to do anything too detailed. it seemed like she wasn't the only thinking the same."i thoughts so too. maybe a minute is not enough time, but we can see what we get done in that minute and then finish decorating after?"she suggested with a small laugh. she just hoped she didn't make too much of a mess while she was trying to beat the clock.
she had a few ideas and now was the time while she was gathering her tools to settle on one. a flower would be simple enough at least she hoped. she felt like she was a bit rusty. so she would have to see.
she looked up at caleb and smiled."oh yes of course. our minute would be up before we even started to decorate."she told him with a nod."that's what i'm doing too. so feel free to get your things set and ready."she said as she added green food coloring into her small bowl of buttercream. she made a big bowl for the both of them and she scooped out some into separate bowls so she could make the colors she needed.

she wasn't sure what had to be done once she brought him to her apartment. would they have to contact someone? could that wait. clearly he was tired. no he seemed like he beyond exhausted. she needed to give him food and water. who knows how long it had been since he had last eaten. all these thoughts were filling her mind as she started the slow walk home. she wasn't going to rush him. she would help him the best she could, but ultimately she wasn't strong enough to carry him. she nodded at his words. that made sense. she probably wouldn't want to get up after sitting down either. was he currently running on adrenaline? even that would have it's limits right?"i understand."
she's walked her plenty of times and there were shorter paths she could take."i'm right here if you need to lean on me."she offered with a smile. she wanted him to know that she was here and that he wouldn't be alone. she wasn't going to leave his side even if he became too tired to continue. she continued to guide him through the streets at his pace. she counted the landmarks as they neared her apartment. she was thankful she had rented on the ground floor. she wasn't sure if her father would of been able to climb all those stairs. since it was an older building, it didn't have an elevator."we're almost there."she reassured him."we just have to take a right and go up the front steps."

magnolia continued to set things up, but she was taking her time. there was no rush here after all they were still waiting for the cupcakes. though they should be done and ready for decorating by the time the shop would be closing. even so she couldn't forget to pack up whatever was left over for caleb to take home and distribute as he liked."exactly what i was thinking. we'll have plenty of time to prep things while the cupcakes cool."she said with a smile.
she laughed softly at his response. he was curious to know if she had some sort of plan with what she wanted to do with the cupcakes, but he didn't want her to tell him. he was so cute."yes and no. i mean i know what colors i want to use. what about you?"she asked curious as well if he had any ideas already. she had been so excited about this little contest of theirs when they had been texting back and forth. you would think she would of wrote them down or something. though she really wasn't that competitive. she just knew this was something that was going to be really fun and it was nice to challenge yourself now and again.
perhaps this waiting time could also be used to come up with something simple and quick. she had mentioned she knew what colors she wanted to use. now would also be a good time to mix the colors in the buttercream frosting.

slowly she was starting to calm down. though she knew that there would be more tears. she was happy to have her father back. it was bittersweet though. her mother wasn't here with them. she had been sick of waiting at home for her father's return and in the end set off to find him.
right now her focus would have to be on him. getting him home and making sure he was alright. he was tired after all. she needed to get him inside so he could rest. of course she could of elaborated on who's home she was taking him too, but he would soon figure it out.
she looked at him doubtful. even though he had managed to make it all this way. would he really be okay to walk home. she let her arms drop so that she could move in a manner that if he needed to he could lean on her."i'll help you if you get more tired."she said with a small smile."i'm sorry i don't have a car. that would of been faster."she apologized as she waited to make sure he was ready to walk. as soon as he was, she would have to turn around and go back the way she came. heading towards her apartment.

she was dreaming? how many times had she wished for this day to come and it finally has and she feels like she's dreaming. like it wasn't real. was her mind so cruel to play tricks on her yet again? how many times had she thought she'd seen her father and even her mother at times? though she knew it wasn't a dream when she felt the weight of his arms around her.
the tears didn't stop, they continued even after she had managed to calm herself down. well to calm herself enough to speak. she could only imagine how she sounded and she didn't want her dad to try to decipher what she was saying. she was taking slow but shaky breaths. she was just a mess and she was glad that he hadn't let her go even as he answered her question.
she knew there were so many things that she wanted to ask him, but that would have to wait. she needed to get him home and out of the cold. she needed to make sure that he wasn't hurt. that he wasn't hiding some sort of injury even though he had just said he was tired but alright."let's go home."she managed to say as she wiped away the tears that kept falling.

she hoped she wasn't the only that was excited for this little competition. how they came about this little plan was interesting and it would be fun. how long had it been since she's had fun like this? way too long. it wasn't that she didn't enjoy baking it just seemed like she didn't have enough time for it. she was always taking care of the paperwork side of things and she didn't mind that at all. she just needed to better manage her time.
she had been lost in her own thoughts as she peeked into the oven to check on the cupcakes. she turned when she heard the familiar voice."almost, just five more minutes."she added with a smile.
things had been winding down and honestly cupcakes don't take that long to bake, but they did need to cool."i'll start setting up where we can decorate. after all we only have a minute and getting the things together now will give us more time to actually decorate."she said with a soft laugh as she slowly made her way towards the counter where they would decorate the cupcakes. she wasn't exactly sure what all she should grab."do you have an idea on what you're going to use?"

you would of thought that these two had been planning this thing for days. going through all the requirements to set this competition up. though it wasn't that way at all. it had all been spontaneous. all because caleb didn't just want to take leftovers. or at least he felt bad if he did. she could be wrong, but that's what she had interpreted it as. she didn't mind really. it was better for them to take the cakes and pastries that hadn't sold very well that day. it was better than throwing them away. it was definitely a better alternative then throwing it away.
she would be lying if she said she hadn't been counting down the time till they would be able to have their fun. of course she made sure she was doing what she was suppose to. a few minutes before closing magnolia managed to throw a few cupcake trays into the oven. there had been a few cupcakes leftover, but not enough for the both of them to decorate.
this way they would be done and cool by the time they finished up closing the shop. until then, she checked on the baking cupcakes and continued on with her duties. she had a few ideas as to how she wanted to decorate them, but it couldn't be something super elaborate as they only had a minute. she couldn't wait to see what caleb would come up with.

she couldn't believe it. how she had counted down the days. though she really had no set countdown. if anything she counted how many days it had been since she had last spoken to him. all she had to do was scroll back through their text messages and the date would be there. as soon as she wrapped her arms around him, she knew he wasn't a figment of her imagination. he was real.
she continued to cry, but she was slowly regaining control of her emotions. she hugged him even tighter when he spoke. she had yet to find her words. she didn't know where she would start. her mind full of questions. first thing was first though. she needed to calm down, especially if she was going to speak.
she pulled away slighty, taking a few breaths to calm herself so she could look up at him. even if she couldn't get herself to stop crying just yet, she wanted to try. after a few seconds she tried to speak again. her voice was a little shaky."are you alright?"
