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.

CHARACTER'S HISTORY
TW: mentions of animal abuse, abuse, violence, death
Ravi Abner was born to a women by the name of Sochi Abner within the early morning hours of a cold and stormy day. His father had long been out of the picture and so his mother went on to raise the young bakeneko alone within a forest ways away from any real civilization. His mother did her best to raise him properly and while she was good, she also never purposely intended to neglect but as a result of having to keep them afloat there were lots of periods of time where he'd be by himself.
As a result of this Ravi remained unsupervised and would often run along the forest within his cat form, learning to hunt as a means to amuse himself. Although the vicious ways of hunting down animals and eventually eating their remains would go on to earn him endless scolding's from his mother although these things never quite clicked within his head.. and no matter how much she tried to push him away from doing it it never really settled.
It didn't help that as Ravi grew older and developed this behavior had only progressively gotten worse. The first realization was when Ravi had been enrolled into school and the immediate first week did he come close to severely hurting another child, claiming his way of playing around was much too violent and abnormal for how a teenager should be doing. This event would go on to stick with him for the duration of his time within this school; eventually having to be transferred due to numerous more similar events happening which called for his suspension.
The remainder of his school years played out with being outcasted and avoided by most of his peers due to the various rumors and gossiping about how strange and dangerous of a person he was. Ravi never cared too much about these things, rather he always had a very impassive personality to him where even after he would engage in the most vile of things... he wouldn't react or express much.
Ravi ended up growing distant from his mother and he'd go on to move away from home before his final year of school. Graduation came and so did new opportunities, having been scouted by an AP soldier did Ravi get wisked within the ranks of The Assembly of Phantoms. Truthfully, Ravi didn't fall under either side; AP or TRS but his actions and general behavior were far more suitable for AP and so he stayed within the organization, quietly following about the missions and tasks he'd be assigned with.
Ravi had anticipated for this to be how his life would play out for the remainder of it until a fateful encounter had taken place. It was when he got summoned for the assignment of a new mission; his partner being a female informant by the name of Ciara who would go on to pass him information. Ravi as always expected for it to go as smoothly as any other mission would've but to his surprise... Ciara took an immediate interest in him.
This had been the first time in the entirety of his life that someone had actively sought him out for things outside of work or his assistance. She clung to his side whenever she could; tried to bait a conversation as much as possible. It started off as annoyance turned gradually into acceptance and slowly into a place where Ravi was experiencing all kinds of things he hadn't before.
Emotions and feelings he felt he was long out of tune with and before he knew it; he had completely became enamored with the female known as Ciara. The two's relationship developed rather quickly due to the strong bond that Ravi had with her. It was clear as day the two were extremely devoted soulmates. It was only a few months later before they had eloped and gotten married.
It was 5 years later that Ciara had given birth to their very own child by the name of Eris Raziel Abner. Ravi didn't have the strongest of feelings towards wanting a child but his wife had strong opinions of her own which was enough to sway the bakeneko into getting her pregnant which led them up to where they were now; with a beautiful boy in the arms of his equally charming wife.
Although Ravi as a father was far from exceptional, being raised questionably himself and growing up without much of a figure to guide him... he did poor in being a proper father to Eris. Not even doing the norm of treating his son with care. He had let his wife take reign in the way she wanted to raise him since he had no idea or preference to how he wished for his son to grow.
The insistence of him becoming AP made sense given her family and where she came from so he gave her support in the matter. Even going as far as to give a helping hand in teaching his son what he could but no matter how hard he tried, nothing clicked for the boy which led to frustration on Ravi's end and what would start his vile and cruel streak in regards to Eris. His wife had taken over while he occasionally pitched in but from here on out he remained on the sidelines.
The years increased and further time had passed by until yet another fateful night occurred. Their son had gone out of his way to explain to him how wrong Assembly was and it's awful desires. The words he uttered had a similarity to it which allowed him to identify that this was no doubt the brainwashing of his mother. Ravi wasn't surprised when his wife had struck him and scolded him for uttering such a thing, knowing how strongly she felt about Assembly and how much they strived for their son to follow in their lead.
and yet.. there was one road block preventing this from happening. His mother had always been a staple part within Eris's lives, and the influencing of what was right and wrong. A hushed conversation between Ciara and him took place the very same night that they had sent Eris to bed with a scolding. The request made to him by his wife was very simple... and he had no intentions on betraying her in whatever way.
So during the day when his son had been at school and his wife away at work. He returned to his mother, in the familiar woods he had grown up with. It was under the guise of a visit, a son visiting his mother but the events that unfolded weren't happy or joyous moments. He took the life of his mother at the request of his wife; killing her viciously much like he did all his prior. He set up the scene to appear as if an accident had take place and that was the last time his son had ever heard from her.
Things had started to look up, up until the point where in it was supposed to be any average day. Their son went to school and when he should've returned; he never did. The horror of realization settled on his wifes face and from that moment onwards he made an oath to return their son to her so she many never feel this way again.
