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.
"Good. You're doing great," and he notes how Sasha whimpers at the praise. "Keep relaxing for me — just like that, there you go."
He pets Sasha's hair and keeps talking, listens for the way he's breathing, and then takes Sasha's left index and middle finger. "Can you feel this?"
Seeing him smile like that is — good.
Alright. So it has to be something he wasn't already planning on doing — and obviously it should be something Sasha will enjoy —
"Good. When I touch you here," and he squeezes Sasha's fingers, "it's going to feel like I'm touching you here," and he reaches down between Sasha's legs and touches him very very lightly. "Can you feel that?"
He takes Sasha's hand and puts it to his mouth — kisses his fingertips and listens to the soft broken sounds he makes — he's not quite sure of what he's doing but that's all right; he doesn't have to; he puts Sasha's fingers in his mouth and — doesn't make eye contact, because Sasha's eyes are rolled up backwards into his head, but watches his face as he sucks on them.
It's —
— he's so relaxed, it's so good, he couldn't tense up if he tried, not even when he's —
— he lets himself make noise, because, because he couldn't stop himself and because Marlo's mouth on him is so hot and wet and good, doesn't hold himself back — and marlo doesn't stop doesn't slow down just keeps looking at him and sasha feels halfmelted it's so —
— he finishes and then curls up in marlos arms and
"Shh, sweetness, you did so well," he pets Sasha's hair, supports his head, "you did so well, you're so good — time to wake up now —"
He nods and — he's still relaxed but it's different, less limp and more just calm.
He's so cute. Marlo plays with his hair for a few more minutes before he says "I'm going to text Lev so I only have to explain this once, that okay?"
Lev has just finished jerking off and is contemplating beginning his homework, but this is more important.
I'll be right over
He's still cuddling Sasha when Lev arrives; they have managed to get up long enough to put clothes on.
"Hey! You're here so I only have to explain once how my life suddenly became a video game."
"It is not. I have an extremely concerning statblock, I don't know if I can show it to you or not —"

Description: Marlo Lane is still a novice player of the Erogame. He has just realized that he's gay and submissive and he's beginning relationships with several people he loves or soon might love. But will he be able to discover the true powers of the Erogame?
"I can't see anything--" Lev attempts to remember everything he can about talking to people who have had psychotic breaks. You aren't supposed to argue with them. "But I believe you that it's there."
No, he doesn't.
"Your last name is Aarons, your parents immigrated from Russia, they don't know you're gay, they're trying to give you the best life they can but they have very specific ideas of what a good life looks like and you, how did the quest prompt phrase it, kind of want to jump off a bridge when you think about coming home from a long day's work as an electrical engineer to kiss your loving wife."
"What."
He tries to think how Marlo could have known that-- it's easy to believe him but it's always easy to believe claims people make that have some evidence for them, you have to think about alternative explanations-- he could have gotten the name off the college's registry, he could have cold-read the rest of it, Marlo's maybe not psychotic but he could be tricking him somehow--
"...Can you show me something you can't fake."
He considers his list of skills.
"Most of the things I can do with it right now could be faked but if I'm in the room when you fall asleep I can see what you're dreaming."
"Unfortunately I can't fall asleep on command and I usually don't remember my dreams anyway. --How does the game work, maybe we'll be able to think of something."
"....it calls itself the Erogame and is themed exactly the way you would expect from that name."
