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.
what what no that wasn't what he'd meant to say
He takes his shirt off and extends his wrists, his hands palm-up.
A skill has been created by a special action! Taking off your shirt around another person has created the skill Strip Tease!
Info/Skills/Strip Tease
Strip Tease: Lvl 1. Active. 5 D|S / minute.
A skill to remove clothes seductively, always hinting at more than what appears, making the viewer more and more impatient to see the end. While this skill is active and you are continuing to remove clothing, you receive a +10% bonus to SED and BOD and any observers watching you react as though their LST were 10% higher. Effects may vary depending on whether the skill was fueled by Dominant or Submissive Energy.
That's fine. This is fine. He isn't trying to get out. He's just — dealing with the knowledge that he's trapped — he isn't really sure what his face is doing but he tries to smile.
A skill has been created by a special action! Posing for a picture has created the skill Strike A Pose.
Info/Skills/Strike A Pose
Strike A Pose. Lvl 1. Passive.
Whenever a camera is out, you automatically position yourself in the sexiest and most photogenic way possible. You have a 1 *BOD% chance of a wardrobe malfunction.
He can feel the ways he's semiconsciously adjusting. Doesn't try to fight them. (Prays to God for good luck — BOD% is a little more than one in five —)
That's good, he thinks absently.
He puts his shirt back on as quickly as humanly possible and — doesn't run away, isn't hiding, he's just, taking a moment to think, in the bathroom.
Being tied up by a stranger has raised PRV by 1!
Being on the cover of a porn calendar has raised BOD by 1!

+100xp
Being in a calendar has unlocked Online Presence.
Info // Online Presence:
You earn 10XP each time somebody comes:
- While looking at a non-retouched picture or video of you.
- While listening and paying attention to your recorded voice.
- While reading an erotic story you wrote that is entirely based on true events.
- While looking at an erotic drawing that you personally drew.
- While watching a hentai for which you provided at least one of script, storyboards, or voice acting.
- While playing a VR game whose models and motions were captured from you.
- While interacting with an AI that was programmed by you or trained on data you generated.
- While playing an eroge whose character routes feature you and your companions.Only one orgasm per session will be counted. Repeated edging or ruined orgasms may qualify at the Erogame's discretion. Forcing or incentivizing orgasms (e.g. as mandatory supervised daily sessions within a territory you rule) reduces per-orgasm XP gains, but does not eliminate them. Promoting or advertising your online presence carries no penalty.

Okay. That makes a BOD of 22, and a PRV of — he's not actually sure how much, he makes a mental note to look at his statblock when he gets home —
He tries his very best not to think about what just happened. Or how being handcuffed felt, or about any of the Online Presence rules, and.... maybe halfway manages to not do that.
The Erogame mercifully allows him to get to his locker, where there are some of Sasha's books he was meaning to return to the library.
Quest available: Just Spit It Out
Talk to the curly-haired guy at the library who keeps staring at you.
Success: +50 xp, +1 LST
Failure: ---
Okay. Okay, this one is normal, mostly.
He clicks Y and takes the books and goes to the library and puts the books in the return box and looks around for a curly-haired guy.
....that's cute.
Marlo picks out a book and then sits down at his table. "Hi."
The curly-haired guy turns bright red and mumbles something and in utter panic slams his face into a psych textbook.
(This is what SED 1 looks like.)
Still cute, but the game is clearly not going to count that as talking to him and it might make a conversation difficult.
"I'm Marlo," he says, "what's your name?"
"I'm annotating introduction to psychology textbooks to mark all the studies that didn't replicate or were poorly conducted or otherwise probably aren't true. I'm going to at least talk to Professor Quinn about them and I might put them online-- if I can find someone to be my first author I might even be able to publish an analysis of how many intro psych textbooks contain inaccuracies--"
