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.

[attr="class","po3"]
—— height & weight
6'2" , 190 CM | 160 LBS , 72 KG[break][break] Standing taller than the average height for his appearance age at 6'2" with a powerful build, Isaiah is seen to have a well worked on physicial appearance. His arms and legs have a firm thickness, pleasing and appealing to the eyes of those who happen to make out the way his clothing clings to the muscle defined limbs. His hands are large and soft, holding long fingers while lacking obvious callous due to the fact that they are always seen sporting a nice pair of white gloves. Isaiah has broad shoulders which gives the sign that he possesses a body leaning more on the sturdy side of things. His skin is fair in color, having yellow undertones and a lack of obvious blemishes but it's not uncommon for Isaiah to gain momentarily scars or injuries due to his line of work. [break][break] Eye-catching is what one might call his facial features and it's not for anything in specific about the features itself but for the fact the man graces the world with a large bright red mask with yellow accents and black straps that wrap around the back of his ears. The shape of the mask resembles that of a beak with how it droops out and downward. Underneath the mask is yet another treat for the eyes of those who would be graced to see his attractive details. His wide cheeks with prominent cheekbones shape his face out to look rather sharp, having a clean-shaven round chin. His skin lacks any sign of growing facial hair. His lips are pink and well-cut, being both thin and moist with no signs of any kind of chapping at all. The real attention grabber happens to be the eyes that look as if they could pierce through anything. Being small in size but having a sharpness to them that look as if they could hurt. His brows are thin and almost always arched, one might say Isaiah possesses a resting-bitch face. Though what gets everyone squirming in unease is when such sharp golden eyes happen to give a look of disgust. The rest of his facial features don't compare to the rest; having thin-ly cut black hair with a lack of any bangs. [break][break] Clothing is something Isaiah never struggled with. Being well aware of the way he wished to present himself; believing fully that the way one dressed is a representation of himself. Isaiah wears a black button up shirt with sleeves that are commonly pushed up and a white tie to go along with. He wears black slacks with brown dress shoes and lastly a large green coat with purplish fuzz at the collar.

[attr="class","fd3"] HISTORY
[attr="class","po3"] TW: kidnapping[break][break] Isaiah Droit was born between Matthias and Vivian Droit, although they weren't were the ones who would have gone onto raise the young male. Plucked into the grasps of his grandfather the moment he heard word of his son having a child that would make up for where his father lacked and disappointed him. With the needed tools to blackmail is where Isaiah had been captured by men who worked for his grandfather. The last he heard of his parents were the pleading of his return but Isaiah didn't bat an eye. Not sure if it was out of fear or the fact that he had no choice in accepting what was happening.[break][break] His youth didn't follow any comical sitcom you'd see on television. There was no such things like playing on the playground or having a wide group of friends he'd discuss. Days usually consisted of various lessons from numerous teachers who all had been handpicked out by his grandfather. When those mandatory lessons were done did Isaiah have the personal pleasure of learning combat directly from his grandfather. [break][break] Any urge or desire to complain and cry out had longed been beaten out of him from the slow realization that crying would do him no good so instead Isaiah quietly took it. The time where he'd allow himself to writhe in pain happened behind closed doors where it was no one but himself. The pain over the years had gradually began to hurt a lot less and the questioning of his actions became a lot less. [break][break] His grandfather's teaching and conditioning had overtook his mind and from then onward Isaiah had began to follow every word or request his grandfather directed towards him. It was much too late for Isaiah to put up a fight against anything and the desire to continue on the path that had been pushed for him came naturally out of his more volition than anything else.[break][break] It was the year after he had first joined AP did his grandfather present him with ...a gift. One might consider a gift something like a household item, maybe a fancy expensive car given the wealth that he possessed but what Isaiah received was a familiar in similar age to him. Another being just like him but treated nothing more than like an object or some kind of tool. For some reason Isaiah found a connection within that and had from their first interaction became attached to the male.[break][break] Through interactions had he come to learn about the identity of the male, a nameless squirrel that had been picked up off the street without consent. Isaiah didn't say or do much to help comfort the male other than that this was his life now and it would be best to not question. The two had a rough start but through time did they grow to be comfortable with one another. Going on to have a partnership that often was pushed to the limits due to Isaiah's nature.[break][break] Things that were normal for him were seen as bizarre to the other although Isaiah had no idea and had continued to open himself up to his familiar with the belief the two had been on a similar wavelength. When they moved out of the home of his grandfather and into a large home for himself was when Isaiah had been caught up to the reality he had been unaware of. A trusting relationship was what Isaiah believed the two had, a request to go out was made and Isaiah had fully placed belief in him returning.[break][break] A few hours had passed and he hadn't questioned it but when the night passed through and he awoke up the next day he realized it was doomed. Disappeared and abandoned within the night and when he began to make efforts to locate him did their contract had suddenly vanish. It was enough for Isaiah to realize that he had been left, and tossed aside which put the toucan in a bad state.[break][break] It was when he had began to push himself into his work and this carried onwards for a few years. No matter the amount of jobs, no matter how much he made a name for him within AP did it lift his morale or fix all of the damage that had been dealt at the loss of someone he believed he had truly connected with. No matter how much time passed, it hadn't helped him recover and if anything it might've only made things worse.[break][break] It wasn't looking well for Isaiah up until the day where he met him. [break][break] Isaiah hadn't been looking for anything upon the interaction and agreement of taking the male by the name of Larkyn Ellis within his home. He was no different from the other servants that had worked for him, at least it was what he had believed in the beginning. Larkyn being a complete stranger and unfamiliar to what was allowed, what wasn't allowed for him to do things most could never think of. Rather than maintain that distance as all his other servants had the purple hair male dared to be a very involved servant. Even going as far as to call him master and to his surprise... he didn't hate it.[break][break] Before he knew it his attention always followed wherever or whatever Larkyn did. Having him around far more often than any other servant. Memories of the past and his pain faded and had instead been replaced with thoughts of Larkyn. It was a night of passion and lust that allowed Isaiah to realize that he wanted Larkyn. So as a means to solidified his place here, he guaranteed that he belonged to him and served him alone.

—— misc information
[break]
■ Isaiah as a Tengu is a lot weaker than some of the more notable and stronger species so as a result he fights only if it's extremely necessary and tends to do better with stealth related gigs or leans towards partaking in assassinations for stable cash flow. [break] ■ Isaiah is an extremely picky eater and tends to struggle with eating most things out of pure disdain for how it is poorly prepared but he has a weakness and that is any kind of fruit or fruit involved meal. He eats a lot more fruit than anything else. [break] ■ Isaiah while in human form is extremely quiet and to himself but when in Toucan form he is notably far more talkative than he would be normally. Constantly croaking, rattling calls, or bill-clacking to any nearby folk who dares to talk to him. He's also a lot more prone to bite with his beak. [break] ■ Isaiah is extremely turned off by any kind of invasion of his personal space or someone trying to make any verbal or physical contact without his permission. He won't hesitate to scold and lash out on those who invade his personal bubble. Permission and Isaiah being aware are both extremely important things.[break] ■ Isaiah has a rather unique relationship ongoing with a male by the name of Larkyn Ellis. It's a consented relationship that involves a master-servant like dynamic. One might claim that it's unhealthy but both of them are consenting to this in it's entirety. He believes that Larkyn is his and he has some level of ownership and while this sounds bad... Isaiah does not view him like an object or some property but does have genuine feelings for the male.[break] ■ Isaiah dislikes when people he has high attachment levels aren't around him or near where he can see or communicate for long period of times. It'll make him extremely antsy and on edge. [break] ■ His soulmate is Larkyn Ellis
