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.
...okay.
So.
Probably Marlo isn't just making things up, that would be really weird for him and would suggest that something else is going on.
"Like... what," Sasha says.
"One of the early ones was touching your hair, one for being in a sexy cop calendar — I did it, the proceeds were going toward homeless LGBT youth and I thought you'd like it — setting you up with Lev stopping a kid at a college party from raping anyone, teaching said kid at the college party about consent, um, there was one early on I didn't take for touching you while you were asleep —"
He's blushing.
"...I have a massive somno kink and would have been fine with it but that's, probably a good thing. — are you okay."
"I'm not sure," Marlo says, and hugs him. "Apparently I have a harem. You're in it."
"The college-party rapist, with whom I am now rederiving the concept of consent from first principles. Lev is still a potential member, I think."
... he knows that tone of voice.
"When you say 'decisions of varying levels of quality,' do those decisions happen to include going to a college party with the intent of getting raped."
"It was," Sasha says, not a question, and curls up in Marlo's lap and presses closer into his chest. "Don't do that to yourself."
"One, if it hadn't been me it would have been some freshman girl, and two, it was the first time in my life I had ever had sex I liked."
His voice is very quiet.
+1 PRV for saying out loud that you like being raped.
Sexual Communication has leveled up.
"Why does this game think the appropriate response to that is to raise my perversion stat by one."
"....that's cute, actually," Sasha says, and snuggles him. "Maybe it's just that I love you but that's really cute."
"I love you too."
He checks the information page for his newly-gained hypnosis skill and for level 2 of Cuddle and Sexual Communication.
Info/Skills/Hypnosis
Hypnosis. LVL 1. Active. 10 Dom/use.
You can hypnotize consenting people by speaking to them, writing text, or waving a shiny object back and forth in front of their eyes with the intent to hypnotize them. You cannot hypnotize people who don't know you're hypnotizing them. You cannot hypnotize people into doing things they absolutely would never do, although you can hypnotize people into doing things they find embarrassing or unpleasant. Higher levels of this skill make you more likely to successfully hypnotize a person who is otherwise difficult to hypnotize or cause them to obey more complicated orders.
Info/Skills/Cuddle
Cuddle. LVL 4. Active. 1 Sub/min.
When this skill is active, you will instinctively know the best ways to hold someone to make them feel warm, safe, protected, and comfortable. Your limbs will not fall asleep no matter what position you are in. People trust you and are likely to tell you information you'd want to know. More advanced cuddle skills will be unlocked at higher levels.
Info/Skills/Sexual Communication
Sexual Communication. LVL 2. Active. 1 Dom/use.
Saying what you want can be hard. When you use this skill, you will automatically express your strongest current sexual desire, clearly, accurately, completely, and without your conscious input. As your level rises, it is LVL * 2% likely that you can exercise some control over what desire you express.
"Do you happen to know why the I got a hypnosis skill as a reward for telling you about the game?"
...he's maybe blushing just a little. "Probably because I kink on it?"
...right. yeah. Possibly he should have thought of that, given the erogame's entire everything.
That does explain Hyperhypnoslut's Master, but he's not sure he wants to talk about that with Sasha right this moment.
Quest available: Hypnoslutting For Beginners
Do ten things to Sasha using the Hypnosis skill or the That's Not How Hypnosis Works or Hyperhypnoslut's Master perks that you would not have done without this quest.
Success: +200 xp, +1 level in Hypnosis for each thing
Failure: --
"Aaaaaaand I just got a quest to use that skill on you in ten ways I would not have without the quest, is that okay with you —"
He clicks yes and goes back to snuggling him, waits for him to relax, and then activates Hypnosis and murmurs "Close your eyes."
Sasha closes his eyes and leans against Marlo and Marlo runs his fingertips down Sasha's side, just barely enough touch to raise goosebumps, and says "Relax. More relaxed than that. Tell me how that feels."
