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 laughed softly."i guess i did. i didn't see it from where i was sitting."she told with a slight shrug."i can't, i don't have any colors. it would look weird in black and white. i guess i could always take a picture and use that as reference for later."she had a bunch of pictures on her phone whenever she spotted something she wanted to sketch, but just couldn't at moment. she saved them for a later date. though did she ever go back and actually sit down and sketch? sometimes. she smiled and nodded."it's a good thing i asked."
she smiled and his words and nodded."that's very true. i'd say i wish i'd have more time, but i'm terrible at managing it."she was positive if she moved some things around in her schedule she could do more sketches, or even just setting some time here an there. time management it was clearly something that she had to work on. she laughed softly."it's not too bad, my style. i mean you can at least tell what it is."maybe she was selling herself a bit short, but she knew she could do much better with practice. which is something that hadn't done much of lately.
"a collector? what do you like to collect?"she asked him curiously.
well that was a little awkward and embarrassing. she didn't know why her mind had jumped to that conclusion. of course there are many reasons as why his mother could of stopped coming along."oh. my mistake, sorry."she added rather quickly. she nodded hearing his explanation."it happens, people get busy. you could always do one big celebration if you have many things to celebrate."she suggested, not that he had asked."i hope she's able to at least get together with you once in a while."she told him with a smile.
she finished packing up her things stood up."it's nice too meet you too kai."she said with a smile and shook his hand before handing him her sketch book. started following him once he began to walk. she knew there were vendors around, but she hadn't seen them from the path she had taken to get to the fountain. it seemed like he knew where to find them."my favorite flower, should be towards the front. hydrangeas. i think it's the only one that's in color. i tried water color with that one."she explained.
"i'm a baker. my friend and i opened up a bakery downtown."she told him."what about you?"she was completely oblivious to who he really was. she rarely watched television, especially these days.

she glanced back down to continue working on her drawing. glancing up at the fountain occasionally. though now that she was aware that someone was near her. she would be paying attention just in case the conversation would continue. her pencil stopped once more as he spoke once more. she looked up and tilted her head in hopes that she would catch the rainbow. perhaps it was where she was sitting that she hadn't spotted it."oh, you're right. i see it now."she told him with a smile. he was right you did have to look at a certain angle to be able to see it.
she smoothed out her paper, brushing off bits she had erased."honestly i probably would of missed it had you not told me about it. oh nothing much, just the fountain itself."she said with a nod. perhaps next she would sketch something a little more animated.
she laughed softly."honestly i'm not that good. i'm still learning. i just do it for fun."she told him honestly."i mean i don't mind if you want to look go ahead."she said brushing the page off once more. as she moved it out in front of her for him to see. it probably would of been better if she had handed him the sketch book instead."do you want to flip through it?"she offered."i warned you, they are not that good."she told him as she offered him her sketch book.
apart from the fountain that she was currently sketching, in the other pages there were sketches of flowers, a cat or two and even a sketch of a person reading a book. she looked at him curiously."used to? did she pass? i'm so sorry."she didn't know what else to say. staying quiet and nodding when appropriate. it wasn't an odd request, it just not one she had expected from someone that she had just met. well, she didn't even know his name. it was just a meal. it wouldn't hurt to say yes. she shook her head."you don't have to pay for me. it's alright."she told him with a smile."sure, let's go."she told him with a smile as she started to pack her pencil and eraser. he wanted to see her sketches while they walked, so she left her sketch book out. she stood up and smoothed out the skirt of her dress."i'm magnolia by the way."

it was tough when the one thing that helped relieved her stress wasn't able today. it wasn't like she never had a day off, she just felt weird if she wasn't working at the bakery. they kicked her out. telling her that she needed to take time for herself. she didn't to sit around and think. work kept her busy and it kept her mind off of things she didn't want to think about it.
though it seemed like today she would have to improvise. she started with doing a bit of cleaning. once she had finished with that. she thought about organizing and de-cluttering some things. she knew that might takes hours. especially if she found things she had forgot she even had. it was an endless cycle and she would probably get distracted and move on to something else.
no, what she needed to do was get out of the house. it was really nice out and some fresh air would do her some good. maybe she could go to the park and practice her sketching. she hadn't done that in quite sometime. it was one thing to decorate cakes and another to draw. though she did do some drawing at work, just to get those ideas on paper, but it wasn't anything like sketching something from life. the more she thought the about it the more it was starting to sound like a good idea. it was still early enough. perhaps she could get some drawing done and get a snack at the baker after. they couldn't kick her out if she was simply a customer. with that, she grabbed a small bag and threw some drawing supplies and her small clutch inside and headed out.
it was a nice day out and hopefully the park wouldn't be too crowded. either way she hoped she would find a nice spot. she really wasn't sure what she wanted to draw, but something would come to mind once she saw it. practice was practice. making her through the park she spotted the fountain. there wasn't too many people around. she figured it was a good of a place as any. she sat on a bench facing the fountain, got settled in and began to take her notebook and pencil out. within minutes she started to draw the outline. after a few minutes she heard someone speak. she hadn't been aware of their presence. once she was focused on something she kind of got lost in her own little world.
she looked around and wondered if he was talking to her."which one?"she asked him curiously.
