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.
"Pants stay on no matter how good an idea it seems for them to come off."
Marlo wakes up in a bed that belongs to someone he doesn't know, holding someone he met yesterday, and bizarrely at peace with both of those things.

He clicks "yes" on Consent Is Sexy and Come Out Come Out Wherever You Are, and stares at Friends To Lovers.
It's not that he doesn't want to date Sasha, when he thinks about it. It's just —
— it's just that "dating him" and "accepting a quest to add him to your harem with experience points as a reward" are different.
Well. He doesn't actually have to poke the Yes button. He can just... let that quest stay pending, if he wants to. Or, alternately, he can accept the quest to do the thing he was going to do anyway, and deal with the fact that the game doesn't use the same words for it as he would.
He pokes 'yes,' and waits for Harry to wake up before he leaves.
He lets go. "Yes. — good boy," because it seems like something Harry would want to hear.
....he wasn't expecting Harry to generalize this fast and he doesn't have a list ready, that was a mistake —
"Kissing people who aren't me. Touching people who aren't me. Touching me —" what range of places makes sense, he cannot say things like 'in a sex way' and expect that to mean the same thing to Harry as it does to him — "between the waist and the knees."
"You cannot suck me or anyone off without asking and how good you are at it doesn't matter."
"And knives and cigarettes and guitar picks and clothespins and things count as touching."
"Hot," Harry says, and starts to give Marlo a handjob while very carefully avoiding touching the skin of his pelvis or his balls.
If Harry were the Erogamer (and Marlo can be grateful he is not), he would have FUK 30. As it is, he is merely very very good.
Oh.
Harry is very good at this and Marlo has had sex he enjoyed a grand total of twice now and it does not take long for him to finish.
He can't lick the come off Marlo's stomach but he can lick it off his hand with all the care and attention it deserves.
Not can I, Harry would say yes to can I whether he wanted it or not, but "Do you want me to touch your clit?"
"Alright," he says, and puts one hand in Harry's hair and one on his back and holds him.
