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.
....cute. But.
"That's unfortunate," he says, and gets out of bed and starts looking for his clothes, he'll have to go back home and get a shirt that isn't cut open before he tells Sasha anything but that's fine, "because I have errands I need to run. What's your phone number."
Ahahaha how about he does not introduce Harry to Sasha just yet.
"No, you can't."
"I can't have sex and I can't break laws," Harry says, with the tone of someone who is trying hard to remember a lesson.
"You can't have sex and you can't break laws," he confirms. "You're doing great and I'll see you tomorrow."
Thank you random library girls for telling him where Harry's apartment is.
Well, that just forbade him from doing every fun thing in the world.
Except music.
Harry goes home and sets about writing some songs.
He stops and gets the donut holes Sasha likes before he shows up.
And then, so he definitely can't chicken out once he's in the door, he opens with "Hi! I have news. Not good news or bad news, just news."
Lev was having an EXCELLENT DAY. He woke up with Sasha in his arms and then he got to make Sasha breakfast in bed. Admittedly, the breakfast in bed was cereal and milk, but it's the thought that counts, and someday (he hopes) he will be able to make Sasha pancakes.
And then Marlo shows up with news and, more importantly, with eyeballs that are capable of seeing Lev's current shirtless state.
Marlo smiles at Lev and then turns to Sasha.
"The first news is that I'm gay and the second news is that I love you."
So, probably that's a no on ever getting to make Sasha pancakes.
It's a good thing they didn't have sex or he'd feel even worse.
Sasha is smiling.
(Like he's just gotten something he's always wanted — like he's been in love for years and years and now —)
"I love you too," he says, and kisses him.
Quest objective #1, come out to Sasha, complete!
+300 xp
Quest objective #2, come out to Lev, complete!
+400 xp
Fine! This is. Fine. He's just going to-- not leave, because the happy kissing couple is blocking the doorway-- look at a book. Yes.
He grabs randomly for a book and winds up picking Macho Sluts, then Two Knotty Boys Show You The Ropes, then Seen from Behind: Perspectives on the Male Body and Renaissance Art, which is probably the best he's going to get here.
fuuuuuuuuuuck that's hot.
He makes a startled pleased sound and the way he's kissing Marlo changes, gets more desperate.
