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 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.
With April, an activity check has arrived for members to do! Please post on the AC and tag all your accounts, including WIPs and OOC accounts. Failure to post on this AC will result in your accounts being marked inactive or deleted. Please note, due to a late start, the due date for this check has been adjusted for one time and one time only.
Starlight Beach. A very beautiful area of nature, that sadly would be swarmed by all manners of tourists once the sun rose the next day.
Thalia had waited nearby, keeping herself from being seen entirely by any of the loud tourists, hoping for the sun to set faster so she could enjoy the coolness of the water herself. It was quite beautiful and always made her feel at ease. Places like this were what kept her around Lorsette and not just secluding herself in the woods. Watching the gentle crashing of the waves reminded her of how beautiful the world still was.
The elf took a seat on a nearby dock, letting her legs hang off the edge. Lucky for her, most people were gone now, so they wouldn't notice her lone figure relaxing there for some time. When she was certain no humans were around here, the elf began to hum gently, letting her voice flow over the waves, singing of a place far over the ocean that she had heard of from her family. The song would be recognized by most sailors and historians as a tale passed around of a legendary island holding various beasts and fruits that no one has seen.
Thalia continued to hum as she moved a hand in the water, thankful for the calmness of the beach tonight. The waves weren't too high, the gentle crashing was actually beginning to lull her into almost a state of meditation. She was at peace. It wasn't often that the elf was able to do such due to the patrols that occur throughout the day and the vast amount of people that would come here, throwing trash into the water and leaving behind a variety of goods. It was rather disgusting, but most people did a good job of cleaning up after themselves.
Thalia continued gazing out towards the horizon, humming her song, as she tried to push the negative thoughts of pollution from her head.
Crystal lake. Normally a tourist hotspot for people during the summer months, it did have its quiet hours during the evening, but throughout the day it was filled with all manner of people enjoying the refreshing water before the strict curfew hours. It was a beautiful, sunny day so Thalia had spent her time watching these humans play, quite intrigued by the way the adults would lay upon towels to attempt to darken their skin tones or the kids would run into the water, only to run back after a short amount of time. Some people would even hold strange competitions where they would stay underwater for periods of time, only to come back gasping for air while the others would resurface later.
Thalia curiously watched these people from a tree branch that she had perched herself on, wearing her signature outfit with her hair tied up a bit so as not to hang below the branch too much. A few birds began chirping around her as they seemed to be attempting to serenade her to distract her from the strange events she was observing. The elf would occasionally softly hum back to the birds to keep them happy, but was far more interested in sating her curiosity for the enjoyment these people were finding. As the hours dragged on, Thalia took note of some people hurrying away rather quickly, something that happened quite frequently as the evening hours approached, but some people would stay put.
Soon enough, there were very few people left at the lake, so Thalia would quietly drop down from her perch and carefully make her way closer. She didn't like to be seen by humans, most of the time they would stare at her strangely, but she was trying to branch out and learn more about the intriguing creatures and their culture. This was one of her opportunities to learn something new, so she wasn't going to squander it.
Stepping out from some foliage, the elven woman would have a soft smile on her face as she watched the gentle crests of the lake. She didn't believe anyone had noticed her yet, but was far more distracted by the natural beauty around her. ~At least they haven't ruined this natural wonder, unlike the air in their cities.~ Thalia would think to herself.
Thalia is a rather tall woman with light blue hair than hangs below her waist, normally tied up into a high ponytail, with purple eyes. Her frame is light and appears rather weak, but she is quite nimble and quick. She wears a black dress with purple accents along it and a high collar, an outfit she had kept as part of her upbringing, and wears a flower in her hair, normally changing it daily. She wears thigh high boots that match her outfit along with beautiful rings upon both of her ring fingers. Her appearance is quite beautiful to most humans and would definitely draw looks from people not used to it.

➤ overall
Thalia is rather ignorant of the ways of other races, but tends to be rather protective and loving of nature. She seems to prefer to company of animals and plant-life as opposed to people. While she can come off as blunt, it is due to her lack of social interaction outside of her family. She also is quick to judge if someone does something she doesn't approve of. Thalia deep down is loyal to those whom she trusts.

➤ overall
Thalia grew up rather normally for the first part of her life, having been raised to respect tradition and honor nature about all else. She actually was raised to eat only animals that were runts or to focus her diet around mainly fruits and vegetables. This resulted in Thalia having an increased respect for life of all forms and to want to protect them all. Thalia left her home approximately two years ago to explore the world and has lived amongst animals for the most part, creating small homes in the woods that she would dismantle soon after leaving.
Due to this, Thalia tended to try to avoid human interaction, finding them peculiar. Recently, she has decided that in order to learn more about the world, she must meet more races and people.
