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.

[attr="class","letitle"]history
[attr="class","smoll"]He's been chasing after the Alpha position from the moment he was aware of the structure of the pack. Jeremiah has always been an opportunistic person. It started from young where he'd witness the various tactics his fellow pack members would engage in. Like the hungry wolf he was, he learned from them but adapted their methods of hunting to be better than they were at it. [break][break]
Jeremiah lived for the challenge; He did his best to stand out and make great strides for the sake of the pack. He started off extremely well behaved, living to the fullest when it came to the packs traditions. Never had he transformed into a human after the turning ceremony again. He heard rumors of what happened to those who accepted their human side and he knew better than to do such thing.[break][break]
For a long time did Jeremiah live his life out in his feral form. It was a standard thing for those within Radiant Banes but even amongst the other members did Jeremiah reign among the top of the pack in the pure skills he were capable of. It wasn't like he was born and suddenly given such blessed skills but for so long had he worked hard to achieve such greatness.[break][break]
In order to become respected he had to pave his way. Starting from the very bottom rank of Omega. Although rather than be like the mutts among the rank who took their beating he bared his fangs and fought back. It gave him the recognition he needed and it was how he steadily climbed up. His drive to be stronger is what earned him all the attention. When he was promoted to the next Jeremiah never allowed himself to be happy and just take it.[break][break]
Until he landed himself a higher rank did he feel he truly would've made it, would've proved himself in the pack. It was when his father was selected as RB's next alpha that it motivated Jeremiah to be much more than anyone else was for the pack. The nights he spent alone plotting out the future he held within his mind for the pack came into play when he broke one of their greatest rules.[break][break]
Integrating into human society.[break][break]
It was something he would do with caution with each attempt but the time he spent out in the world of the humans did Jeremiah first hand get to experience it's value... and just how vast the world was outside of the wilderness. With the knowledge he learnt did it slowly aspire him to look back on Radiant Banes and rethink the way they were proceeding.[break][break] Jeremiah felt that times needed to change if they wanted to remain supreme as one of the top Lycanthrope packs within Lorsette and he decided that he would be that change so he kept onward with coming out to the city at unsuspecting times. He took classes as humans called them and educated himself further on the humans ways of life. [break][break]
It took years of effort but before the end of his father's rule did Jeremiah convince him to begin the steps of expanding the horizons of Radiant Banes. With his influence and well conceived plans did Radiant Banes begin to change their old traditions. When it was announced that Jeremiah would take over the position of Alpha for head of the pack, he was overjoyed. He worked for majority of life for this purpose and he finally achieved it.[break][break]
With obtaining the alpha position Jeremiah had went full force into implementing Radiant Banes into human society. It took years for his efforts to pay out but once it did Radiant Banes began to grow.[break][break]
Jeremiah in the present time is thriving and continuing to establish Radiant Banes as he makes his presence known even further.

Radiant Banes is a pack consisting of three families of Lycanthrope. Radiant Banes is considered one of the oldest known lycanthrope clans. It has been documented since the confirmed existence of such. RB originally started off with just one family under it's belt. They lived deep within the wilderness and staked their claim over the land. It was a pack that started from the ground up; no more than 10 wolves in comparison to the population it sees in it's present days.[break][break] What made the pack stand out from any other of the Lycanthrope packs was the fact that they had abandoned their humanity. It was considered almost sin to even switch into their human forms. They felt that in order to honor and stand by their Lycanthrope heritage they had to live within their feral form. The pack's strength had only grown with each generation as well. Going on to create not only astounding hunters but resourceful and crafty wolves who would bring honor to the Radiant Banes name.[break][break] It wasn't until their 6th generation did they decide to make some new changes. Deciding it would be wise to expand... they decided to take in two new families of wolves. One was a pack that had been dying out and the other that was on the brink of their territory being taken over. It took a period of adjusting for all of them to find their ground with one another but the following generation would go on to be one of the most notable for Radiant Banes.[break][break]
- - - - - -
[break][break] The first family of the Radiant Banes is the Trengove lycanthropes. While their beliefs still cling to the more outdated traditions, and were most known in the past for their sense of coordination and overall resourcefulness in order to thrive into the pack they live today. In modern times, like the other families, have a mix in what everyone's roles are in the pack, instead of specifics. The Trengove family is also usually responsible for raising the pack's next alpha, whose decisions have a large impact on the pack's future.[break][break] The second family, the Klassen lycanthropes, if not for a fateful meeting with the Trengove family, would have not even thought to of existed in modern times. Considered the "weak link" of the three families in terms of having reliable generations, recklessness runs in their blood instinctively. Despite this, the Klassen excel in combat, both in the old times and in modern times. Some have went for a different approach in the modern age, branching out to science and medicines even to support the rest of the pack, but many of the Klassen lycanthropes are the go-to for any sort of fighting or potential organized crime.[break][break] The third and final family, the Ripley lycanthropes, were less of a fateful encounter, and more an act of desperation in order to save themselves. Prior to joining the Radiant Banes, there were many issues in terms of physical power and truly embracing their lycanthropy, which made them an easy target to other packs at the time. Within this weakness comes a better understanding of the benefits of being able to allow both human and beast to thrive together within the pack. Lycanthropes from the Ripley family are well known for their acts of diplomacy, in modern days going so far to have many high-end jobs in businesses and even entrepreneurship, a great benefactor for the pack.[break][break]

[break][break] With the past generation has Radiant Banes taken stride in advancing from the ancient traditions they lived by for a long time. With the influence of Jeremiah Trengove did they begin to integrate RB into Human Society after so long of being detached from it. With the rise of terrors and the rapid advancement the world is seeming to make. Jeremiah felt that they were long falling behind and overdue to make some crucial changes themselves. Their traditions no longer were strong enough to hold their power so in order for the sake o the pack... they had started a new era. [break][break] With the arrival of the 11th generation and the stepping down of the previous Alpha. Jeremiah has since been selected with the role of leading the pack into a future where they could thrive. From the moment he brought up the idea, Jeremiah had a plan. The vision in mind he has for RB is that of making the pack greater than it's ever been. Slowly did they go from living a purely feral lifestyle to living among humans and expanding their territory into Lorsette. Jeremiah has been working at this for a few years now. Slowly distributing the pack's members into different avenues they hope to gradually overtake and potentially influence. [break][break] The more diversity under their belt the more chances they'll have to bring attention and much more weight to the Radiant Banes name.

[attr="class","underrevblurb"]
There's an omega pair ( 1 male , 1 female ) for each family and that they usually change per generation. The pairs match up with other omegas from each family. Usually would go on to have a partnership and be responsible for bringing new young to the pack.
The omega pairs are all gifted [species]
The territory Radiant Banes is currently in possession of is as follows; A part of the wilderness, and outskirts. They are currently attempting to stake their claim on the western area.
All members if born are originally born as gifted but upon turning 2 years old there will be a ceremony where the current alpha turns them into a lycanthrope. It's an important ceremony for any new kin of RB.

Must be from any of the following families: Trengove, Ripley, or Klassen (cousins and distant relatives apply)

[break][break] HIGH RANKS[break][break] Alpha | Leader of the Pack ( Jeremiah Trengove )[break][break] Beta | [2/2 slots open] When the alpha aren't around they take charge as it is the responsibility that falls to them. They often also work as second and third in command to the alpha. [break][break] Gamma | [4/4 slots open] Those holding this position are usually the oldest and wisest of the pack. Through their stories and their phrases they pass on to the others within the pack their wisdoms. Those who hold this position are much respected and loved by the rest of the pack. [break][break] Delta | [6/6 slots open] They are the messengers of the pack, the go between among the allies and sometimes even the axis. They risk their own lives by doing so, but it is their duty and must make sure that those who need to know are told. [break][break] Epsilon | [4/5 slots open] They are the Protectors of the pack. Their job is to ward off intruders and are responsible for the safety and well being of the pack. [break][break] Theta | [1 slot open] They are the lead medic within the pack.

[break][break] MID RANKS[break][break] Upsilon | [3/4 slots open] The Upsilon are the scouts or spies of the pack. They go into other pack territories in order to find out what's going on. Afterwards they report back to the Alpha and tell them about all that they have seen. [break][break] LOWER RANKS[break][break] Psi | [Unlimited] These are the subordinates of the pack. Usually new members or yearling wolves start here and must prove themselves before they are given a better ranking. [break][break] Omega | [Unlimited] They are the scape goats of a pack.
