Description: Marlo Lane is a novice police officer hoping to make a difference. For the last year, he has been consumed with anxiety about Sasha Michaels, his best friend, who has been diagnosed with cancer and is expected to have no more than three months to live. His desperation to save his friend has opened him up to the possibilities of the Erogame.
Skills:
Erogamer's Body (Lvl MAX): The biological ability to live your life as an erogame. Venereal disease doesn't exist for you, or pregnancies or refractory periods. Arbitrarily large appendages can fit inside any of your orifices. You heal from all marks with a good night's sleep, ready for the next day's adventures. Other aspects of this skill depend on the BOD stat.
Erogamer's Mind (Lvl MAX): The mental flexibility to live your life as an erogame. You're more able to accept the realities of your new world. You'll also bounce back from painful, upsetting and bizarre sexual experiences with relative ease. Rape can be anything from a recoverable trauma to a Tuesday afternoon, but it won't ruin your life. Other aspects of this skill depend on the FUK, SED, LST, and PRV stats.Erogamer's World (Lvl MAX): The consent of reality to live your life as an erogame. People are never too preoccupied to consider sex or romance, not while you're around. Bystanders won't ignore what you do, but they're unlikely to actually stop you. Those who do decide to involve themselves are drawn into the logic of the Erogame. If you go far enough that an authority sees no choice but to intervene… they won't treat you as a simple criminal. Other aspects of this skill depend on the ERO stat.
To Mine Own Me Be True (Lvl MAX): Even at the center of the Erogame, you are not just an erogame character, but a human being possessed of his own free will. Your family will always be safe from you, and little children everywhere.
Perks:
True Love Conquers All: If you love someone enough, nothing can ever permanently separate them from you. The only exception is their wishing to leave you---deliberately, voluntarily, and based on correct information. People you love will live out a full natural lifespan and they will never die before you do. If they ever face serious physical or psychological harm, you will always get a chance to rescue them. This applies to any type of love, not just romantic love. If you would undergo hardship and sacrifice to protect someone, if losing them would leave a scar on your heart that never fully heals, then you will be able to take care of them, and in time you will always be reunited.
Info // Character Stats // Level:
At LVL 1, and 0% progress toward the next level, you'll never be this weak again. You can increase your level by completing the quests the Erogame offers you, or by causing romantic and sexual events to happen to you or around you. The more difficult the challenge, the greater the rewards.
Info // Character Stats // Body:
With the average being 10, and perfect 10s being 40, your BOD of 20 makes you solidly the most attractive person in the room, assuming the room isn't in Hollywood, California.
You can increase this stat through exhibitionism, and other acts that invoke the pure beauty and power of your physical form.
Info // Character Stats // Lust:
At a LST of 1, you're very nearly asexual. For now, anyway.
You gain in this stat while experiencing sexual urges that are unusually intense or that go on unusually long.
Info // Character Stats // Seduction:
Your SED of 6 makes it possible for you to get a date with a girl who doesn't have anything else to do that Friday. Could be worse, but could be much better.
You can increase this stat by arousing the romantic interest or sexual desire of others, and successfully pursuing them or being caught.
Info // Character Stats // Fucking:
Your FUK of 4 means you'd better be extra careful with your teeth. As for other bedroom skills, have you considered trying to… well… move?
How do you increase this stat? Take a guess.
Info // Character Stats // Perversion:
Your PRV of 19 despite your total romantic isolation is a sad commentary on the decadence of the third millennium. Nonetheless, casual exposure to a variety of naughty ideas has left you open to a whole host of things you prefer not to think about.
You can increase this stat by being a little less close-minded, and acting accordingly.
Info // Character Stats // Erogame Logic:
At an ERO of 10, your life has become an erogame taking place in a mostly realistic setting. What happens to you might seem unlikely to others, but it won't break their belief in a sane universe… yet. Witnesses will reach for explanations other than the Erogame, but they'll still notice the unusual events.
If you keep pushing probability to its limits, then probability will learn to be a bit more flexible down there, relax and take it in and not protest so much.
Info // Character Stats // Dominant and Submissive Energy:
If this were a different game, you'd have mana and hit points.
It isn't.
"...not letting people not have sex with you is, in fact, illegal. You can just not have sex with someone, regardless of how happy it makes them."
He shrugs. "I do illegal things all the time. I'm not even legally allowed to drink. Not ever breaking laws is boring."
"I am going to pretend I didn't hear that," he says, this time in Officer Voice. "How old are you?"
"Okay," and then, in Officer Voice again, "you're not going to have any more sex at parties."
Then he thinks better of that and says, "You are not going to have sex at all unless I'm around."
"My name is Marlo," he says, not in Officer Voice anymore, and kisses Harry's forehead.
Bonus objective #2, prevent Harry from raping anyone else, complete!
+300 xp
'Good Cop' status effect
Bonus objective #3, add Harry to your harem, complete!
Harry has been added as a harem member.
+1 ERO for beginning a relationship by being raped.
He looks up at Marlo with abject gratitude and devotion and something rather like love.
"Thank you."
That's a lot.
He thinks it might be a good a lot, though.
"Get some sleep," he says, kisses his forehead again. "I'll be here when you wake up."
That's good.
So. He's gay. Probably he should be having some feelings about that but ultimately his feelings are mostly "at least that worked."
Probably he should tell Sasha. Possibly he should tell Lev.
Definitely he should get some sleep before he tells either of them.
Quest complete: Self-Acceptance.
Objective #1, accept that you're gay, complete.
+10,000 xp, +1 perk point
Objective #2, accept that you're gay without having an emotional crisis about how you're disgusting and no longer deserve to be loved, complete.
+5,000 xp, +1 ERO.
You have leveled up!

The perk point timer flashes.
No is still a good one to have on hand in case he ever needs it, and Friends with Benefits is likely to be useful.
Note: You put one point towards Friends with Benefits. Friends with Benefits costs one point and one fragment. A fragment is a third of a point.
Yeah, he knows. He doesn't need it right away.
He curls his hand in Harry's hair and closes his eyes.
Several hours before —
"So do you want to go back to my place?" Sasha says, without taking his hand out of Lev's hair.
Does he want to go back to Sasha's place. That's a complicated question.
"Yes," his mouth says, without his input.
"Awesome," Sasha says, and takes his hand.
The bus ride isn't long. And Lev could, if he so chose, put his head on Sasha's shoulder again.
He could.
"I've, uh, never done this before," he says into Sasha's shoulder. "Any of this."
"That's okay," he says. "And we dont have to go all the way this first night if you dont want to, we have time."
I have time.
"Unless you turn out to be an axe murderer, I'm going to want to see you again."
