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!
my clothes still smell like you, and all the photographs say you’re still young. i pretend i’m not hurt and go about the world like i’m havin’ fun . . . . . . . . .
it wasn't often she forgot nights events. especially if they had only just occurred. she didn't drink more than usual. the memories were still a bit muddled, but oh well. if she remembered that was fine and if she didn't then that was okay too. right now the only thing she cared about was getting her bag. she hated carrying it around, but sometimes it was necessary.
a yawn escaped her lips as she figured she should finish getting ready. the sooner she got her bag. lucky for her they had told her they could show up at anytime. she could of slept in a bit longer had she not been worried about her missing bag. well she could always take a nap after she was done picking up her bag. she remembered them mentioning something about a flower class? she knew nothing about flowers and would most likely not be staying.
once she was ready she figured it was as good of time as any to head out. the sooner she got her bag the sooner she could get that nap in. though she figured maybe she could get some other things done. she didn't want to waste her day off by sleeping. maybe she could pick up a coffee along the way. more like after, considering the only things she had with her were her apartment keys and her cell phone. looking up the location of the flower shop would be a good idea. she wasn't planning on walking around in circles.
after a few minutes she had reached her destination. they were right couldn't miss that big sign. it seemed like someone was in a hurry to get inside. she thought it was open, if she remembered the closing time correctly. as she checked the time on her phone. the person continued knocking on the door before it was opened a few moments later. so then it was open? well, whatever it was open now. she opened the door spotting the person that had been banging on the door and who she assumed was the owner."hey there, i'm here for my bag."she told him once she reached the front counter.
averie has long blonde hair that reaches past the middle of her back. when she's annoyed by it she either pulls it up into a ponytail or she does a quick three strand braid. as long as it's not in her way she's doesn't really do much with it. she has light violet eyes and a fair complexion.
she rarely wears make up, okay let's be honest she avoids it. if anything she might have a flavored lip balm on hand. her style is all over the place. though she isn't fond of overly feminine clothes. you wont' catch her in a dress or skirts. she tends to wear solid colors, mostly dark hues. simple and comfortable is what she likes.
fire manipulation:intermediate - she is able to create and manipulate fire. her emotions can play a role, the angrier she gets the bigger the flames seem to be. though it doesn't always happen. it could have the opposite effect. she can put out fires she didn't herself.
dragon shifting:beginner another thing that can be influenced by her anger. though she knows she can't let it get the best of her. there's no turning back once you go full dragon and that scares her the most. not being able to be in control. at this point she's able to produce her wings. it takes her a few minutes for them to appear, the process is slow and a bit painful. so she can't just summon them instantly.
enhanced strength:advanced she stronger than your average human. there are times when she is distracted and doesn't realize she's using more strength that it needed, but that doesn't happen quite so much anymore.
pain suppression:intermediate being able to block pain receptors is very beneficial, it seems to cut the pain in half, especially when she decides to bring her wings out. that doesn't mean that everything can get blocked. it's usually the first thing she thinks about doing when she knows it's time to get tough.
natural: enhanced durability, thermal resistance, magic tasting, fire immunity, immortality
backstory
trigger warning: kidnapping
averie grew up in a fairly happy home. she was an only child and despite them not having much, they managed to get by. even as a child she didn't ask for much. her parents spoiled her as much as they could. both her parents worked two jobs and it was her grandmother that would be at home taking care of her. there were times when her grandmother wasn't able to care for her and those times averie ended up going to work with her dad. well, at least to one of his jobs. he was a mechanic and she enjoyed watching him fix things. it's what got her tinkering around as well.
as she got older she started to do random babysitting jobs to help out in anyway she could. her parents appreciated the help, but told her to keep the money for herself. she really wasn't much of a spender, instead opting to save it.
she liked to believe she lived in a safe neighborhood. a place where everyone knew everyone. she had just finished babysitting and had decided to walk home. it was suppose to be a short walk, after all she would be taking a short cut. she was distracted by the music that was playing in her ears. she couldn't remember how many times she had taken this path and thought nothing of it. she continued listening to music and messing with her phone. it's why she didn't notice them.
she had fought back, but it was two of them and she was only a fourteen year old kid. she had no idea what was going on or why this was happening to her. she had dropped her phone in the scuffle. her mind running through different scenarios. she was more worried about her parents then herself. she knew it was her fault for being so careless, but they would blame themselves.
the only good thing out of this experience was finding maharo. it seemed like, as soon as they had locked eyes they clung to each other. he was a couple years younger than her, so she knew she had to do her best to keep him safe. he was the one thing that kept her going because he was there with her.
they waited for the perfect opportunity to escape. she had tried a few times and failed. learning from her mistakes they came up with a plan. there are times when she still looks over her shoulder. expecting to seem them behind her. they got lucky.
it's been a few months since they managed to escape and things are looking up. of course she wasn't going to leave maharo all by himself. they've stuck together for so long. it was only natural for averie to keep looking out for him.
