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!
“I can’t sleep.”[break] I heard a flicker of your voice close to my ears[break] on a windless, sweltering night.[break] Let’s escape from these same old, joyless days[break]
Didn't wanna be young Yeah we were in such a rush, but what a rush

The beach should have been isolated during the season of the cold and snow. However, there are some who seem to wander and find peace with the sound of the waves. For Natalya, this was just another way for her to familiarise herself with loud noises. Seeing her loyal canine bounding to an unsuspecting person should have been normal. Luckily, the other person showed no threat. The beauty of having a dog that knows the difference.
"I'm sorry about that, Verity! Come over here girl!" Her voice alluded the sound of authority, demanding the dog to come back to her side. As such, Natalya looked over the girl, making sure nothing was damaged.
"Verity likes seeing new people, she tends to run around when there's open space," bending down on her knees just a bit, Natalya scratched behind the canine's ear. Loud panting and small little awoo's could be heard.
"I apologise for what my dog has done, is anything damaged? I can compensate if you need."

open thread
Guess it's kind of funny how everything began to push towards a new time. A new world where all and everyone became more used to the idea of a better world. The cold air nipped at her cheeks as she walked the sandy beach. Her mudi, Verity was happily running in a zig zag; the cold water hitting her paws. Verity barked out at the blonde, a smile on her lips as she then bent down. The small pup bounded quickly over to her, giving her a shell.
"It is beautiful, isn't it? I'll put it in the study," brushing the sand off the shell, the young woman looked over her shoulder. There was nothing behind her and yet, she felt a horrible and nagging feeling something or someone is watching her. Or, it could possibly be in her head. The war is elsewhere, I should pay attention to what's in front of me for now.
Her attention was brought back to Verity who found herself a newfound friend. She was already ways away.
"Verity! Don't disturb the person!" Panic rose at the back of her mind.
She's like a doll. People would comment on her appearance such as that. She has brilliant blue eyes and a slender frame (perhaps from the lack of food she eats). Natalya has waist-length golden hair with locks complimenting her face. It is noted that she has her hair untied, in a low ponytail or pulled into two braided buns with two red ribbons.
Because she lost her arms in an accident, Natalya was given prosthetic arms. Due to her not accepting the fact she has lost her arms, Natalya will always wear long sleeved shirts no matter the weather. Due to said accident, she also has scars on her back and chest, finding them ugly no matter what.
Despite being the observant and analytical type of person, she can be a handful when it comes to solving her own feelings -- or even sorting through them in general. What's the difference between like and love? Two words that have a different impact. Natalya appears to be interested in only silence and having people leave her alone. It is noted Natalya suffers from PTSD
abilities
As a human, there are no special abilities to her -- in fact, she's just a normal girl. However, over the long period of time, there are some human abilities of hers that could possibly be considered odd to others.
PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY: * click * a snap of a camera -- or rather, her eyes. natalya is able to remember every single detail with minimal effort (that's a lie, she would have to have a long exposure to almost anything in order to remember every single detail perfectly).
TAE-KWON-DO: growing up, her parents fuss over the fact that the world is filled with the abnormal -- thus, she took a self defence class. while she is no master in the class, she does well enough to defend herself when the need arises.
ARCHERY: during college, as a club activity she participated the most was primarily (right next to photography and journalism) archery. because of her accident, natalya doesn't practice her archery anymore.
backstory
+ It's always the power, the gifted people who are the ones on high. Living in Sweden at the time, almost everyone in the private school were gifted or fall into the category of supernatural. Natalya was one of five non-gifted / non-supernatural students who attended this private school. While she was bullied, she was also appreciated by those who's abilities are quite tame in comparison to those who have to deal high concentration on their own abilities. In boarding school, Natalya ran the Photography club and the Journalism club. Mixture of students joined the club, some flaked after a few days of the club while some showed appreciation to the ways of the camera.
+ She became a journalist for a company taking note of the war in a far land. However, due to a bombing close by Natalya lost her arms after the car she was in landed on her arms. After said incident, Natalya was hospitalised for eight months. However, she could not return home or go back to work. Her traumatic experience from the bombing has left her with a scarred and helpless mind. It's not too long afterwards did she receive her prosthetic arms -- and while they are uncomfortable, she has found great uses for them.
+ She started anew with her then pup, Verity in a place called Lorsette. There she began to write stories for the newspaper and kept herself to a minimum indoors or near gardens. Despite all necessary functions to be by herself, Natalya has found it difficult to manage things by herself (this includes grocery shopping and other tedious tasks that needs to be made around the condo).
misc
+ Natalya has a service dog because of her PTSD -- the dog is a Mudi and is with her at all times no matter the situation. + Because of the accident, she would wake up in a cold sweat and end up going on a run, no matter the time of the night. She finds it a comfort. + The only ones who know of her whereabouts are the doctors
