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

appearance
At a slightly above average height of 5’7”, Denis is an energetic youth. Composed of a slim body with a subtle pudginess from youth, he appears much similar to an average teenage boy. Although, he holds little muscle in comparison to a full-blown adult, leaving him relatively small in that department. The child’s skin is fair coloured and spared of blemishes and freckles. While his legs are longer than average, they regularly go unnoticed because of his unimpressive 1” claim to tallness. Based on his build alone, anybody could notice how Denis is more built towards running opposed to fighting. The slender legs and only slight fat proves the notion to a majority of individuals.
Initial sightings of Denis result in people noticing the wildly blond locks flowing from his head. Bright and brilliant, the Fowl Family hair colour is long admired by most. The hair atop his head is silky to touch, although, near impossible to tame from Denis’ energetic actions. Regularly, a recent brushing gets ruined by his happiness rushing around. Most unique to Denis’ hair is the tuft of blond hinted with a slight fade of green near the tips. Nobody knows where the trait was derived from, however, he gained it nonetheless. Peering from Denis’ face are a pair of gorgeous blue eyes with a dark blue tint. As a result, his eyes have a sparkle to them, ebullient with happiness. Soft cheekbones are in Denis’ face, leading down to a slim jawline and a softly rounded chin. Most unique to his face are the piercings on his ears he begged his mother for him to get. Regularly, he just wears a pair of studs in them.
Clothes for the young boy consist of plenty of shorts and t-shirts for the summer months. He will wear just about anything from graphic t-shirts and shorts with plenty of pockets. In winter months, Denis will wear sweats and the occasional jeans and the occasional long-sleeved shirt. When in the winter months, Denis wears hoodies and sweaters without much forethought to which is better. Similarly, he will wear a jacket during the colder days or when he wishes to play outside in the snow. The shoes purchased for Denis have always fixated on durable and long lasting because of the boy’s energetic nature. It is among the only reasons Denis’ shoes last longer than a meagre few months.
In duck form, Denis is a fluffy, white duck with a soft yellow tinge to his fur. In this form, he has wings and legs best suited for swimming and diving. When in human form, Denis can spawn a pair of larger wings similar to the one he holds in his animal form. They are large enough to allow Denis to fly on.
Air Manipulation -- Beginner The ability to manipulate air, allowing the user to make gusts and powerful winds. Air manipulation is best described as untrained in Denis’ case. His demand on fixation in wing manifestation and duck shifting has trained his parents on those concepts. Therefore, his air manipulation has suffered greatly. Denis can hardly conjure a frightful gust, rather, it is weak and ineffective. If trained, there is an opportunity Denis’ air manipulation could improve to be usable.
Enhanced Speed -- Intermediate The ability to access speed beyond that of a regular individual. As a young child, Denis Fowl is incapable with his enhanced speed. While he can activate in short bursts with success, the young boy has proven incapable at times. During moments of extremely high energy, Denis can abruptly begin running with an extreme speed. Being an energetic boy, Denis proves to have some powerful stamina. Although, because of his lack of training, Denis tends to be thrown off by momentum and crash into walls despite his enhanced balance. Furthermore, while Denis holds the stamina, his enhanced speed still causes him to become a mini glutton who devours whatever people will feed him. In moments of excitement, Denis’ enhanced speed can accidentally activate.
Wing Manifestation -- Advanced The ability to manifest wings from one’s body in order to fly and/or protect. From the moment Denis learned about his wings, he discovered himself hyper about the sheer notion. He craved the possibility of being enveloped by air while soaring and swooping in the sky. Therefore, he begged his parents to teach him about manifesting his wings. Since then, Denis can manage to manifest his wings in about 10 seconds. The pair sprout from his back and provide him the wingspan to fly. Although, should Denis tired or his wings be injured, he is unable to manifest them. Similarly, he risks them disappearing under these circumstances. Should his wings receive damage, Denis can be grounded for days until the approximate time of their healing passes.
Duck Shifting -- Advanced The ability to shift into a duck. As a duck tengu, Denis’ bird shifting is naturally connected to becoming a duck. In about 20 seconds, the young boy can gradually transform into becoming a young duck. When shifting, Denis is completely vulnerable to attack. In this form, his feet become webbed, allowing him to swim in bodies of water with ease. Similarly, being shifted allows Denis to dive under the water without difficulty. Due to his duck form, Denis is capable of flying because of his wings. If Denis receives an injury, he will automatically shift back into human form.

backstory
Born into a family of happy fowls, Denis was bound to become the bundle of joy and energy he is today. With an older brother and a younger one, Denis was the middle child of the Fowl siblings, but never suffered from the infamous middle child syndrome. Rather, born to Ellesia and Baron Fowl, Denis was among their many beloved and cherished children. The pair always craved a house filled with a toddler’s feet and happy memories. Therefore, they had their trio of children and fixated on raising them right. From a young age, Denis felt and absorbed the love and support radiating from his parents, consuming it with every day. Their focus in assuring their children’s health allowed them to cultivate a family brimming with joy and endless love.
Through his early years, Denis remembered the little traditions his family did and the holidays they spent together. When he exhibited his love for sports, his father and mother were hasty to cultivate those enjoyments. Signed up for many sports and showed a chance to blossom, Denis thrived under the watchful eyes of Ellesia and Baron. From baseball to lacrosse, the young boy proved wishful to try it all. Due to the influence of his parents and sports, Denis’ high-energy attitude and body only increased over time, being proven by his fall into hyperness and unintentional activation of his enhanced speed. Yet, through the trouble his energetic attitude caused, Ellesia and Baron supported their beloved children without a second thought.
Happily, Denis drifted through school, creating friends and memories. At times his teachers found the young boy a handful, however, his good-natured attitude and lack of ill-will kept him on their good side. Nowadays, Denis is focused on completing his high school education, unhindered by the world around him and the concepts of the Assembly. Rather, he fixates on receiving great marks and fortifying his arsenal of puns!
