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

CHARACTER'S PERSONALITY
POSITIVE
- Active - Challenging - Courageous - Flexible - Leaderly
The concept of a stable home was that of a scam for the young shifter.
The first home he had ever lived in was the one he had been born into. An unfit mother with her equally unfit boyfriend at the time. She had gotten pregnant from her last relationship and the current was a jealous fiend. Growing up there was a nightmare- the tension between the two had been so thick that they fought ever other day. His mother stepped in at times but never could put an end to it.
Being beaten was no more introduced shortly after elementary. Rather than it be for any actual punishment - it was an excuse just to beat on Franco and his teachers at school couldn't bear to stand by and let it all happen each time Franco arrived to school with bruises worse than the previous. It was the start of what would be his experience within the system - being taken from his home and being thrown into the hands of a variety of foster parents.
The second home- at first Franco had been hopeful but the adjustment was too much for the young male to take. At first being away from his mother, he'd thought he be happier but now he was thwarted into a home of people he didn't know, people who had been trying to play house with him. It made him upset and what had caused Franco to lash out in frustration although the way it had been perceived was no more than Franco being a wild and dangerous child.
Skipping meals to not being home at the curfew given. Avoiding contact or conversation with his parents as much as he possibly could... It was only in due time that Franco was sent back in and resumed the looking for a new set of foster parents to take him in.
The third- well... the third never really happened. Before he could actually enter their home had he up and slipped passed all of them. Having already been processed and transferred to the new school for him within Lorsette; he had no reason to need to stay there. It was what had embarked his travels of living on the streets all while avoiding capture or being found by the people who were putting him through all of this.
Getting used to the normal of having to work for things, staying with those who might be considered questionable to adults who actually had their shit together. It was the semblance of a home although none of it was ever permanent and none of it still is. Switching between places during the night or even wounding up sleeping on cold pavement during the night.
Franco has embraced this as his life- refusing to continue to go through a numerous amount of foster homes until he found his fit. He wanted to choose- and so he choose the life he lived now, even if it was all ways inferior to what he could've possibly gotten.
- The smell of cigarettes - False accusations - Hot weather - Anyone taller than him - Being talked down too - Pity - Pancakes - Mac and Cheese - Sour tastes - Pickles
