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

In Aurora's short memory, she had never actually been to a mall before. Most times she tried to avoid areas that could have potential to be rather crowded or overwhelming for her, but the young woman had overheard that there were some new fashionable items being released and she was quite interested in checking out what was available. She never really changed up her fashion sense much, but figured this would be a chance to. She also figured it would have some security, so she would be safe in case any strange issues arose.
That was what brought the fallen angel to Halo Crown Mall. It was far larger than she had expected it to be with a wide variety of shops, food stands, drink machines, and constant noise. To say that Aurora was overwhelmed upon entering would be an understatement, but she was here on a personal mission. The woman took notice of so many machines that she had never seen before, including claw machines, and tilted her head curiously as she watched a young man try to win a stuffed animal for someone who seemed to be his partner. He seemed rather confident, but ended up empty-handed after a few tries.
Aurora frowned at the man's disappointment and decided to walk over and give it a try as he started to walk away. She would pull out a couple coins, seeing that the machine said it required them and would put them in the machine. The woman jumped at the sudden noise as she saw the claw reset itself. She hummed in thought, trying to figure out how it worked.
In doing so, she positioned the claw over the stuffed animal and instantly grabbed it. The woman quickly turned once the prize came out and ran over to the couple.
"H-Hello! Um...Did...Did you guys want this?" Aurora asked quickly as the couple turned surprised to see the woman holding out the prize. The man's partner's face lit up in excitement as he smiled, taking the prize.
"Thanks, miss. That's very kind of you." He then would hand the prize to his partner as the two walked off together.
Aurora smiled at this and went off to explore more of the mall.
Having been fearful of others seeing her wings before, Aurora froze instantly at the sight of the man before her with a strange, smoking object and drinking from a tall can. She didn't recognize the figure at all and realized that he could potentially see her wings. Almost jumping for a brief moment, the fallen angel quickly retracted her wings, allowing them to practically disappear into the night and hopefully merely having being seen as a potential shadow in the dark. The woman would stay quiet, unsure of how to respond to the man's presence. She was used to people running away when they saw her wings, so the fact that this man didn't either meant he wasn't afraid or he just didn't notice them yet.
The man didn't seem to have any malicious intent, but Aurora's heart was already racing. The stranger before her flickered a small flame a couple times, causing the woman to almost wince at the small flame as the small object in the man's mouth now had a small light. He was getting ever closer to her and asking if the woman should be asleep or if she was having a party of one. Aurora shook her head gently, as if to say no, but figured she should respond with words. "I don't tend to sleep this early...and what do you mean by party?"
Aurora's voice was gentle and even a bit curious as she watched the man, almost frozen in her tracks like a deer in headlights. She wanted to run away and find Imogen, but if she took out her wings the man could attack her. He already appeared to have some sort of fire control in her eyes, which already frightened her since Aurora didn't quite understand what a lighter was. She didn't understand a lot of things, but perhaps this was a new opportunity for the woman to learn.
Aside from flying, one of Aurora's favorite things to do was go out and explore nature. While she had a rather traumatic experience with her fall in the forest six months ago, the fallen angel quite enjoyed spending time in nature and taking in the beauty of a world she never experienced before. One of her favorite things to do was pick flowers and study the different plants that she would find outside, so that was what brought her to this particular neck of the woods. Wearing her signature outfit with her hair hanging down like a curtain of snow, Aurora would be smiling gently the entire time she walked.
Walking along the path while humming sweetly, Aurora was picking a few flowers here and there. So far, her collection consisted of a couple bluebells alongside some pink and red primroses. She was on the hunt for some rarer flowers, but figured these would be some nice ones to bring back to Imogen for her own part of the garden. The young woman was quite excited to show her findings to her dear friend and had already decided on a few names for the plants. The bluebells would be named Bella and Belle while the pink primroses would be named, Prisma and Prina, and the red ones would be named, Ruby and Riley. They were simple names, but ones that Aurora would treasure until they began to bud and grow even more.
While distracted in her melodic exploration, the blue-eyed woman would take note of the occasional passerby, glancing away at anyone who made eye contact with her, a little to shy to ask any of them if they knew of any special flowers that were around. Besides, it was the thrill of discovery that made it all worth while! Though it did get a little lonely at times, so after a few moments, Aurora took note of the beautiful purple-haired woman before her and would smile gently, approaching her cautiously with her small basket of flowers. She wouldn't say anything much at first, always too shy to normally instigate a conversation, but didn't want to come off as rude.
"Hi, pretty lady. Your hair reminds me of lavender." Aurora chided gently as she smiled, not being one for good social interaction, but figuring a compliment was a nice way to start. "Or maybe lilacs or lunarias!" It was obvious the fallen angel was excited by flowers, but she only hoped it didn't come off as overbearing.
Hello there! Harry here to post a few wants that I'd love to have for my new little Fallen Angel! Reply below if anything interests you or if you have other ideas!
Summary: Aurora is a fallen angel with amnesia, not knowing why she fell, but always having the nagging feeling that it was something she had done. I had decided that this was due to her making a deal with a demon in order to learn more about the world below, but it would have been a contract that she had no real knowledge about. Most likely this demon would have been a trickster and invited Aurora to come down to visit in order to learn more about the worlds, but quickly used her innocence to his/her advantage in order to cause her to make a pact with him/her and make her fall while also losing her memory. She believes she has sinned due to the manipulation that would have occurred.
Demon:
Race: Demon (Hell species?) Age: Any Gender: Any
- I would love to have someone play the 'demon', but never let on that they were the one who caused her fall. Perhaps the demon would even form a mock friendship with her in the hopes of trying to form more pacts with her and to mold her to be more evil. Aurora is rather innocent and refuses to do things that she knows would be wrong so the demon would definitely have to lie to her and change its appearance in order to get to her. This is open for a ton of fun ideas!
Family:
Races: Angels Ages: Above twenty-two in human years. Gender: Preferably at least two females, but I'm open to any angels!
- I'd love to have some angel siblings for Aurora, most likely ones that wouldn't know that she fell or would even believe that she had fallen. They could definitely find her rather easily since her physical appearance hasn't changed much aside from her wings, but she hides those wings. I would also prefer that the siblings be older than Aurora, so they could help her learn more about her light magic and blessings.
Friends:
Races: Anything but Demons Ages: Any Gender: Any
- I'd love for Aurora to have a wide variety of friends who can help teach her about the world! She's rather shy and could take some opening up, but as long as people are kind to her, she makes friends quickly! It would be cool to have a variety of species from Heaven, Earth, and Hell, but I'm open to anything!
Romance:
Races: Anything but Demons Ages: Any Gender: Any
- Aurora is bisexual, but she leans more towards females due to the fact that the first people she met after her fall were males who were afraid of her and called her a monster. On the other hand, the first female she had met invited her to her flower shop and accepted her for who she was. I'm open to any sort of romance plots, but it will definitely take some time for Aurora to develop any sort of emotional attachment to most people!
The moon was high in Northern Lorsette with not a single cloud in sight. It was a crisp night and quite a beautiful one for a certain young woman. Stepping out into the cool air, Aurora made her way out of the flower shop where she had worked in, making sure to keep quiet so as not to let anyone know she was leaving and slowly walked out into the area. It was quiet and peaceful, not many people were even out and about this late, plus crime rates were always low in this section of Lorsette, so Aurora had one less thing to fear as she wandered.
Glancing around, Aurora's hair trailed behind her, a curtain of white in the gentle breezes, as she looked for an area where she could hide herself in order to do what she was really aiming to do tonight. It didn't take long for the blue-eyed beauty to find a dark alleyway and quickly dash into it, turn to her side in order to position herself better for her goal. The fallen angel's heart always raced when she was preparing for this feat at night and tonight was no exception. With a small breath, Aurora unfurled her pitch-black wings, giving them a quick stretch with a small sigh.
The woman then smiled gently and proceeded to flap her wings once, twice, then thrice and she was rising quickly, soaring higher and higher into the air. It didn't take long for Aurora to now be flying above the buildings, passing overhead much like a harbinger of death, but one that wouldn't harm a fly. She would giggle playfully as the fallen angel performed a few small aerial maneuvers.
~Veer left. Veer right. Loop around.~ Aurora would think to herself.
It was like clockwork for the young woman and she had grown accustomed to her wings quite quickly over the last six months. While Aurora was fearful of others to see her, she quite enjoyed the feeling of flying free, even with her darkened wings. This was why the woman would continue to fly for about an hour before landing on a nearby rooftop of a building and closing her wings. She landed light as a feather and would sigh gently, swinging her feet off the edge. It was a relaxing night and the perfect one for her to relax and potentially explore a bit.
Scars/Deformities: A jagged scar on her lower back
Body Type: Skinny
Face Claim: FATE SERIES, Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanov
➤ overall
Aurora is a rather small and frail looking girl with piercing icy blue eyes and snow white hair that hangs to her lower back. When she smiles, it can be seen that she has dimples on both of her cheeks. While she may appear rather small in stature, she does have a commanding presence due to her inherent power. When Aurora opens her pitch-black wings, they can be seen with a seven foot wingspan, but she prefers to keep them hidden.
Aurora's outfit normally consists of a white summery dress with slits cut into the back to make room for her wings. She also can normally be seen wearing a pink shawl over her shoulders. Aurora prefers to have her hair down, but can be seen with a wide variety of hairstyles.

If someone is kind to her, she will tend to listen to what they have her do without any real objection. While Aurora is innocent to the world, there are certain things that she knows are wrong and will refuse to do anything that would harm innocent people. Aurora is also known to say things that can unintentionally hurt someone's feelings due to her honesty. Overall, Aurora acts much like a young child.

History

Father: Unknown angel father Mother: Unknown angel mother Sibings: Unknown
➤ overall
Aurora doesn't recall anything before her fall six months ago, aside from the fact that she has a guilty conscience for something that happened. The fallen angel had no idea where she was when she awakened from her impact, finding herself in some strange woods. Upon following a nearby path, Aurora found herself surrounded by strangers who ran from her, fearful of her black wings, which the woman soon noticed and quickly flew off to hide. The woman hid her wings upon landing outside of a small town where she began to wander, looking for any sort of kindness towards her. Soon, she ended up being found by a woman by the name of Imogen. She invited Aurora to work in her floral shop and Aurora now sees her as a close friend for the kindness bestowed upon her.
