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.

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!
Despite the serenity of the cathedral, Yves found himself nervous as he stood motionless once he managed to close some distance. Social situations were always a difficulty for the young amnesiac, especially considering the cowardly nature he obtained after his unfortunate demise. The silence enveloping the main opening of the cathedral was frightening to the white-haired man as he glanced around anxiously awaiting his answer. Mustering up the courage to repeat himself felt impossible for the shy young man, his heart beating rapidly in his chest while he remained inside the room. The man's pale and gentle hands clutched the small notebook as the uncertainty overwhelmed him. Should he perhaps leave on account of the woman's silence or merely continue forward to admire the cathedral and search for information about the infamous Akari. Awkwardly, the white-haired man glanced down towards the extravagant carpet that popped from the wooden floors. In this instance, Yves felt hopeless on account of his concerns about attempting to gain the woman's attention.
[break][break]
There was a chance the tasks she was accomplishing were of the utmost importance, and it could be rude to disturb her in these crucial moments; even if Yves was uncertain about what the stranger was doing. A momentary glance was taken towards the stranger, the white-haired man noticing her attention shifting to him. Immediately, the wraith's eyes returned to observing the floor as he desperately attempted to avoid eye contact. The man's eyes were now fixated on the bottom of the pew she remained station on, staring at the legs of the wooden bench.
[break][break]
"Y-yes," he squeaked. Afterwards, his tone shifted into a quiet mumbling as he made his request. "Um... um... can... can you sh-show me around? ... Pl-please... If you can't that is okay... I just... I have never been here before."
[break][break]
A faint red touched the wraith's cheeks from his unintentional mumblings generated from his anxious attitude. Despite the woman's smile, Yves found it immensely difficult to avoid bashfully mumbling his words. For years, Gabe had attempted to banish the habit, but to no avail. The white-haired man's eyes remained focused on the ground as he silently waited for the answer of the mysterious maiden, praying that she would agree to show him the cathedral.

Meanwhile, Yves is just being his extremely shy self. XD Poor boy doesn't know what to do after not being heard.
During the early hours of the morning, Yves was taken away for a brief conversation with his doctor while his brother, Gabe, rushed to work for the day. While the appointment itself was short, the amnesiac found the minutes slowly ticking by as his anxieties haunted the depths of his mind. There were always those nervous thoughts of being unable to remember his past, thus the wraith left nervously shaking. The doctor had gone through the normal examinations before interrogating him on possible memories, but it became apparent that memories remained entirely wiped from his mind. Slowly, Yves ascended to the bottom floor, pushing aside the glass doors with a slight frown on his face. There were always desires to remember in a desperate hope of his memories allowing for him to avoid being a burden upon the weighty shoulders of his beloved older brother alongside anybody else who got charged with assisting him. Once outside of the hospital, the cold breeze of an autumn morning chilling the wraith. A shiver captured his body as he distanced himself from the hospital, heading down the sidewalk.
[break][break]
The white-haired man grabbed the fringes of his sweater, pulling the ends close while he continued walking. These cold autumn days were disliked by Yves, especially since his brother was unable to return and take him home. An extensive walk would be ahead of the wraith, a soft sigh escaping his lips at the thought. While he continued walking, Yves fumbled for the zipper of his hoodie, grabbing the thin metal and bringing it upwards to cover his front. Promptly, the wraith his hands into the depths of his sweater as he picked up the pace. While he walked, Yves' eyes flitted around the area, noticing the various other citizens crowding the area and the vacant beach behind him. Eyes avoided him, a relief for the nervous man who struggled whenever he was placed in the spotlight. There were clusters of individuals in the Coastal Area, a majority likely heading towards work to spend extensive hours slaving away; sometimes Yves wished he was among them, but instead he was heading home to tackle chores.
[break][break]
The stroll in the Coastal Area was cold but pleasant, the wraith bashfully glancing around. Gradually, he managed to notice the beautiful stained glass windows of Akari's Cathedral, which was a curious sight. There was a pause as Yves stared towards the cathedral, remembering the recent lessons about Heaven and its goddess, Akari. A glint of interest flashed in his eyes, the red contact lenses still hiding his species. A moment was taken to survey his surroundings until hastily, the wraith approached the beautiful building, his hand plunging into his sweater pocket to retrieve the small notepad with a pen clipped to the front; perhaps he could discover some fascinating things to assist with his lessons! A small smile touched the amnesiac's lips as he approached the cathedral, his hand reaching out to slowly open one the large doors and enter. The wraith's eyes glanced around in amazement after crossing the threshold, his hand reaching to close the door behind him. The view was wonderful with simple wooden pews with decorative work were placed in lines while a single red carpet created a trail through the center.
[break][break]
The ceilings were high, causing Yves' eyes to widen as he aimlessly wandered down the main path. Various colours filtered through the stain glass windows, displaying portrayals of Heaven and Akari herself, capturing magnificence in the pieces. The wraith's eyes wondered further, his movement ceasing as he squeaked in surprise upon seeing a young girl stationed with her head lowered. She had long darkly coloured hair, Yves' eyes only watching for a few moments as he debated speaking; there was a chance she could assist him. [break][break]
"Um... Ex-excuse me?" He called, albeit, rather quietly.
[break][break]
Afterwards, he approached cautiously, his steps an anxious shuffle as he attempted to close the distance between himself and the mysterious woman who appeared to be praying.

Hi there! I will just be throwing my shy amnesiac in here.
The body type of Yves can be summarized with tall and skinny. He comes in at a height of 5’11”, making him a bit taller than average. Being rather skinny makes Yves incredibly light when it comes to weight. Everything about him has a particularly thin appearance, including his limbs which are on the lanky side. A noticeable feature is that Yves’ hands are smaller than the average male and possess slender fingers. Complexion wise, Yves is on the pale side with his skin being a porcelain colour. There are no notable scars of blemishes on his skin. He is rarely injured and usually does not tan well which at times results in sunburns. It is incredibly rare for Yves to get dirty unless he is cooking. Wrapping around his body from his left cheek to his lower back and leg if a smoothly done burn scar which is believed to be the mark of his killer. He is extremely sensitive about it and tends to act as though it does not exist.
When it comes to facial features, Yves has a slender oval face with a more pointed chin. His eyes have the regular silver colour of a wraith, but he had grown to hate their colour an instead wears red contact lenses. Red was the original colour of his eyes. The hair atop his head is messy and possesses a silver colour similar to his true eye colour. Usually, it remains messy and only gets groomed in a pleasant manner at the insistence of others. At times when it is messier than usual are days when Yves forgot to brush his hair.
The clothing that Yves wears is simplistic and never fancy. He prefers cheap and good quality clothing since he does not desire to be a burden to his brother. This oftentimes results in him wearing plain coloured shirts and nothing of the latest fashion. He avoids formal clothing with the belief that it will be expensive even though that may not be true.
Despite being a wraith for roughly a year, Yves has put no effort into learning his abilities. He fears using them and oftentimes avoids it to appear as though he is not a wraith. This leads to very poor control over all his abilities when he does attempt to activate them. Furthermore, Yves would grow immensely tired very quickly if he attempted to use them.
backstory
There was not much remaining as of memories on the unfortunate day where Yves heard the booming noise of a gun being fired. Everything retained within his mind seemed to slip away, like sand through opened fingers. The faces in his mind turned to blurs, names were erased and all the young man was left with upon entering Purgatory, all Yves could remember was his initials alongside a few basic school facts. Thus, when he entered into the monochrome world that belonged to Thanatos he was lost. Only a few hours in did he stumble upon a fellow soul wandering Purgatory. The pair spoke and shortly, Yves was convinced to return to the world of the living. The odd soul spoke about how it was the necessity and informed him Purgatory was useless without memories of loved ones. Being a newly made amnesiac in an unfamiliar world, Yves hung onto every word. He believed this odd spirit thoroughly and immediately set out to find Thanatos. Meanwhile, his body was undergoing police investigation and was being analyzed. When Yves found Thanatos, he begged to return to the world of the living. It was not long until Thanatos granted him his desire and he returned to the living world.
The return itself was permanently scarred into Yves brain since he returned to his original body. He woke in a dark, cold and eerie quiet place. The box he awakened in being tiny and metal which caused Yves to panic. He thrashed around out of fear until what he laid on top of was wheeled out and light filled his vision. Yves had woken in a morgue shelf, sealed away for autopsy purposes and later for burial. The staff were quick to attempt to calm the frantic boy and were ultimately forced to take him to a lounge to sit in a more comfortable area. When they managed to smooth him, they began asking questions and addressing him by his first name. Although, there was a problem as they discovered the boy giving them confused looks. It was shortly realized that Yves has amnesia and did not remember anything prior to Purgatory. While they spoke with the newly made wraith, Yves’ mother and older brother were contacted. When they arrived, Yves found that there was vague familiarity in their faces. His brother’s voice was gentle while his mother remained mute and refused to look at him. Soon names were given, his brother being Gabe while his mother was Jane. He was shortly informed that his name was Yves Levora and this was his family. They took him to the place they stated was home, which was odd to Yves. Days were spent exploring the house, trying to remember as he gazed upon old pictures, but nothing clicked.
Somewhere down the line, somebody noticed him who was aware of his identity. They stated several things, which confused the Yves due to his amnesia. Ultimately, he informed them he could not remember them and suddenly the person grew furious. They yelled at him, telling him he was horrible for forgetting them of all people before stomping off. It started making Yves timid, making him scared of other people and the concept of meeting those who knew him when he lived. Further contributing to this behaviour was the extreme protective of his Gabe who consistently insisted against dangerous activities or, at times, meeting people he did not know. It caused Yves to become extremely timid and shy as he feared another person harming him like Gabe had mentioned. Although, Yves has yet to learn the exact specifications that resulted in his death. About a few months later, everything was set up for re-education for Yves in order to bring his intelligence up to par with an average adult.
For the progressing year, Yves’ mother oftentimes avoided him and remained mute in his presence. When she attempted to look into his eyes, she would always glance away disappointed. The reason for this was always unknown to Yves. As time went on, he decided to inquire about his death and his mother dodged the question, his brother doing similar. That night he heard them in a heated argument where Yves learned something that scared him a bit. He had changed drastically as of personality, his former being a social butterfly and courageous fellow. Then he heard about the horrible actions people could commit when they stated the method of death. Somebody had shot him in the head, the bullet going through and causing his amnesia alongside his forgetfulness. That night, Yves returned to his room upset and frightened of people, specifically criminals. He became incredible frightful, easily shying away from conversing with others out of fear of disappointing them with his forgetfulness. As time went off, he almost shut himself away from a majority of people due to his intense desires not to upset anybody else.
It was difficult for Yves to notice that his mother was not taking care of him since he did not require feeding. The amount she cared about her wraith son become more obvious in the clothing provided for him to wear; old, tatters and stained. There was also the matter that she never searched for him when he got lost or even escorted him around the city. The reasoning the simply, the woman could not accept the fact her precious son was a wraith, thus she cared little about what would happen to him. It was not until a day came that Yves got injured trying to find his way home that Gabe truly noticed what was happening to his little brother. Once again he and his mother fought, his mother declaring that she hated those silver eyes Yves now possessed. It went to the length of Jane screaming about the disgrace her son had become by transforming into a ruthless monster, which was all based on Yves being a wraith. Hearing it caused the boy to cry and leave with his brother to his apartment where he stayed.
Yves depended on his brother fully due to his loss of memory, and thus his older brother became the source of finances. Despite the wraith’s insistence, Gabe refused to allow Yves to get a full-time job until the young man;s re-education was over. With his brother’s wariness in occupation came Yves’ decision to merely assist in odd jobs and keep Gabe’s apartment clean. He took up the hobby of cooking, catching on quickly in order to have supper ready for his older brother. So far, Yves has not been a wraith long and is still going through re-education and even some therapy in hopes of assisting him in venturing into this “new” realm.
