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.

Yours Truely,
The Staff
season
Summer 2022
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.
With April, an activity check has arrived for members to do! Please post on the AC and tag all your accounts, including WIPs and OOC accounts. Failure to post on this AC will result in your accounts being marked inactive or deleted. Please note, due to a late start, the due date for this check has been adjusted for one time and one time only.
Of course I'll flatter you.. you're my lover after all.
I'll sing you the praises you deserve
Pff... it's all in the way you carry yourself and your behavior. Make it irregular or do things suspiciously yet don't cross the line of wrong. You'll have someone scared easily with that.
A bear? So cute... I could use illusions on you and make that a reality, you know?
Is there anything else of note I should know about?
I have to keep them well fed... otherwise you'll be sad if they go hungry. So of course... I'm happy to know this though. I was worried they might've thought badly of me.
I want to continue to make a good impression on them
I'll just have to teach you how to be scary yourself. Not that you aren't already... when you're scary it is very attractive to me after all heh~
Are you incapable of listen? I assure you I too wish for this to end fastly but there is not much I am able to do if I have more urgent matters stopping me at the moment.
Anyways! That time sounds perfect. I'm fine with this.
Did you what to discuss with me then on what you'd like for me to do? Or would you like to say now?
WHAT IS THIS AND HOW IT WORKS[break][break] Proxinis is a boogeyman and follows a concept of an individual who goes out of his way to hunt down submitted names to this website of his. What he'll do is with his incredible capabilities in illusions, start them off with a nightmare that all starts about the same way (can read an example of what happens here) which in results with the submitted character abruptly waking up in the middle of the night, to seeing a night terror like monster. Depending on the persons fears, he'll morph into something regarding that and basically make your character unable to move, scratch them up a bit and give them quite the fright.[break][break] How it works is he has someone in assistance with helping him track down these people which is how he'd come to find and do his bidding. He gets nothing out of this minus feeding off their energy and amusement.[break][break] THINGS OF NOTE[break][break] He will hurt them but not severly or to the point of hospitalization. It will be harsh gripping of the arms, long scratches. That is about it. [break][break] THE RULES[break][break]
If you are submitting a name you must ask person of the other party before you randomly just submit the name for the character. it's rude to do so without asking since this will affect that character in IC!
You are allowed to submit your own characters.
We do have the options of roleplaying this out if you would like. Just PM vorpal on site or through DMs on discord. We also can say that this is something that happens to your character during the night without any roleplay, can also discuss the events of what goes down through discord/PMs
[break] Existing at the extremely normal size of 5'10", that's about the only thing one might could classify as normal when referring to Proxinis. Underneath his extravagant clothing, Proxinis has a solid and muscle-filled build. Proxinis may not look the type upon first glance but he is someone who makes sure to stay in shape physically. He's no force to be reckoned with but still enough to know he isn't here to mess around. Across his lower back, upper chest does he have some scars as a result of vicious battles and past horrors. Proxinis's arms are longer than the average, having thick bony fingers which nails are extremely long and often decorated to the point of being almost obnoxious to look at. His nails color often changes between green, purple, or red depending on what he may be feeling at the time.[break][break]
The thing about Proxinis that makes him stand out from the rest is the fact that his appearance is so unique there are so many aspects to him that makes him stick out like a sore thumb. One of the features being his back length long hair. At some parts is it styled to look wavy while other sections appear more straight, he even has a few black curls that spring into action around his right cheek and neck. It doesn't help that it's two-colored and split down right the middle in the lovely color of black and white. To be even extra for whatever reason, he decided to accessorize with the parts of his hair that sticks out with small bells. [break][break] Proxinis's eyes make him look almost soulless; appearing fully black with red eyeliner being under and along his eyes to make them stand out all the more. His eyelashes are also naturally long and it's paired off with his thick black eyebrows. In addition he also wears a variety of different shades of lipstick to make his appearance all the more dramatic. [break][break] Proxinis's wardrobe often consists of a handful of custom-made outfits. His most notable being a kimono that's far too unique to find anywhere else. Being extremely colorful and having a mix of all kind of patterns to stylish details. He typically leans towards wearing traditional Japanese clothing that is of course custom-made, not fond of the simplistic designs of the original.

TW: trafficking, kidnapping, abuse/violence[break][break] - Born into the most average household imaginable, Proxinis initially was far different from the present version of himself. A normal kid with quite normal interests and expectations for the future. Being the second to be born out of two siblings. The childhood he had was great, a safe and loving home up until the age of 14. [break] - Having been walking home on a particular day with his sibling, they had been caught up in one of the most common dangers that every parent tells their child to avoid. A large van of size stopped nearby them while an unfamiliar man spoke out to them. The classic don't talk to strangers rule would've played here but unfortunately, the two didn't think to use their brain. We'll give you a ride home was the last thing the two heard before they sealed their fate by entering the vehicle. [break] - From this point onward, it had gone on as one might expect. Not being prepared for the ambush of two men who'd go on to cover their mouth with some kind of napkin that would go on to knock the two out. The next time the both of them awoke they were in some kind of warehouse alongside a handful of other people who either looked their age or a few years older. With shared glances from his sibling, and the panicked whispering of the others around them they knew they were in a bad situation.[break] - They would go on to be informed about how they would be use for services they offered. A human trafficking group had managed to whisk them right away. Their captors would go on to have them for a total of 5 years, but during the second year was when his sibling had dared to plot an escape for the two of them. It was a well thought out attempt, the two having worked their way up to be on the good side of these people so they could get this opportunity.[break] - It looked like it had been going well, almost too well. Right as they were going to escape did the two get caught. Someone was standing right outside, anticipating this little attempt of theirs. The events that followed are a memory that etched deep down within Proxinis but not in a bad way. Some kind of switch flipped in him; seeing the fear-filled sibling of his get beaten to an inch of their life changed his perspective on a lot of things.[break] - It was in the 4th year of being held captive did they finally get freed. This ring being a big case with a lot of people working on finding the many children and young adults. The warehouse was raided and eventually were they reunited with their parents. By the time of this Proxinis was already an adult. Rather, than stay to reconcile with his parents.. he completely changed his appearance, changed his name to Proxinis, and moved far away from the place he was born at. He couldn't live a normal life without facing the nonstop questions from the press every place he'd go.[break] - When he was 19 is when he first stepped into Lorsette. Stumbling upon the interesting life going on within the city. He learned of TRS and it's natural rival, AP. The gruesome memories of his past clung to him and what would be what motivated him to go on to join AP. Proxinis at this point in life had been obsessed with fear and wanted to see what extents he could do with the abilities he possessed. [break] - Learning to fight and growing to become a useful soldier for the assembly. Getting permission to experiment on his victims with various nightmare filled illusions. Tortured with various methods of pain and fear. The more unique of reactions received the more it encouraged him to continue onward. Proxinis fed off the fear in more ways than one which was why it made him grow a lot faster than most. [break] - His tactics only became progressively worse with every time to where he eventually ended up at where he was at in his present day. Though, having got far too used to the crimes he'd commit for AP. He expanded his horizons and established a website in which he'd carry out terrorizing the names some can submit for him to have his way with them.[break] - It was a solo-project all on his own for a few years until he had stumbled upon a special critter who would go on to be perfect for the role of being his business partner. Roach was his name and he was quite the interesting individual.[break] - Having picked him off the street, it was a mutual relationship of supplying him with a home and basic necessities while he worked for him in hunting down the people he'd go on to harass. This became the normal for the two but along the way the two had fell in love, becoming quite the terrible duo but Proxinis believes it only makes them all the more charming.[break] - Proxinis spends his days with his beloved critter at his side, terrorizing innocent people or foolish TRS members who he stumbles upon as a result of work. He anticipates the terror he'll continue to inflict on those who all are unfortunate enough to have to meet him.
