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 2024
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.
Since the wonderful members of TDOM enjoy the site enough to play around on it, this thread is to assist with the site's tidying! Functionality is important and we want to make the site functional even if its activity will be minimal at best!
Naoya at first appears to be just above average height, and coupled with the cold and intimidating air he keeps around him, this seems to perfectly suit him. However the height is a farce, as the combat boots he wears to accentuate his black trench-coat he keeps over his uniform have heels that make him appear taller than he actually is.
In reality, Naoya stands around five foot six, decently smaller than many would realize. He has a toned, athletically muscled frame, and a slightly pale complexion. His long hair is a moonsilver in hue, his eyes a silvery ice blue.
Natural: Naoya will not further age more than he is now. He is hard to harm, being a she has enhanced durability, the ability to taste magic with his tongue, a natural thermal resistance, and he is stronger during daylight hours. As all dragons are, he is sensitive to things like drugs and poisons.
Enhanced Strength: Advanced. Naoya is strong, very much so, and often his grip on someone alone is enough to scare them into obedience. He has a very strong control of it, and often uses it for brute force or intimidation tactics.
Pain Suppression: Advanced. Naoya can cover the pain rather well, though he has not mastered it. Depending on the severity of the injury, the pain can still leak through the suppression and distract him.
Light Manipulation: Mastered. Naoya had been working on this ability since a young age, and can do a myriad of abilities with it, for show or for combat. Rumour has it he can even make light constructs in the form of weapons.
backstory
Naoya was born as a younger child in a very big, very old family. He had gone through extensive studies and combat training since a very young age, however these were private lessons, and he was never allowed much time to develop social skills, leading to him becoming cold and closed off. He was held to many expectations, as the entire family was.
Naoya was seventeen when his bloodline was cursed. His father had betrayed his wife, who had laid a curse on the entire bloodline as revenge. The curse was Hanahaki Disease, a curse that would activate once the carrier falls in love, and would slowly kill them unless the feelings were reciprocated.
Naoya was put into an arranged marriage after he turned nineteen, where he had managed to have three children. They ended up falling away from each other mutually when the youngest turned seven, and Naoya cut off contact with his father specifically, and began to devote his life to the TRS.
misc
*Naoya suffers from Hanahaki Disease, something his family line was cursed with. It started with his father, and will pass on to every child he has, as well as all of his siblings and their children will have it as well. His particular flower petals are lilac flower petals.
*Naoya has some children, as well as a rather extensive family. His connection with his family is distant and cold, and he is emotionally distant where it concerns his children as well, he is not going to win father of the year award.
