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.
Lev is so cute.
Sasha prompts him with the last few words he'd said, doesn't move away.
While he's looking for a book, Marlo overhears:
"It's the third person this month," a girl says. "Everyone knows about it. Someone has to stop him."
"Who's going to stop him?" her friend says. "You know what happened to the girl who tried to report him to the school."
"Yeah," the first girl says. "I don't know. You just can't keep raping people and expect to get away with it."
"I mean, he is."
The first girl sighs. "I know. I just. --He's going to the party at Octopus House tonight, and he's going to rape Person #4, and I have no idea what we're going to do about it."
Quest Available: One Swing And I'll Humiliate Him
Harry Hook, guitarist of mediocre punk band The Pirates, will be at the party at Octopus House tonight looking to score-- and he doesn't care particularly much whether the person he's sleeping with consented to anything he wanted to do with them. Make sure the person he rapes is you.
Success: +1 perk point, +2,000 xp
Failure: Innocent freshman girl learns an important life lesson about trust.
Bonus Objective #1: Collect enough evidence to put Harry Hook in prison.
Bonus Objective #2: ????
Bonus Objective #3: ????
He doesn't even consider not clicking "yes."
"What happened to the girl who tried to report him to the school?" he asks, out loud.
The first girl startles. "Sorry. We didn't see you there."
"She said she made everything up for attention," the second girl says, "but-- somebody saw her changing in the locker room and there were bruises all up and down her body. And cuts."
Christ.
"Thank you."
He should probably figure out where Octopus House is before tonight.
"No." Nothing that'll hurt anyone but himself, anyway. "Just wondering where I should be warning my sister to stay away from." Alana lives in a different state but these girls don't need to know that.
Well, then, they can not only tell him where Octopus House is, but where Harry Hook's apartment is, the nightclubs his shitty band plays at, and the various buildings he has a habit of breaking into in order to cover the walls with drawings of genitalia which, it must be said, have remarkable artistic merit.
Do they.
He thanks them, and then picks a mystery book that doesn't come from a three hundred book long series and goes back to Sasha and Lev's table.
Lev is not entirely sure how he's managed to end up with his head on Sasha's shoulder but if he questions it it might stop.
(Maybe he's dreaming.)
They're cute. (He remembers that feeling of love, doesn't let it change his facial expression.) "I'm glad!"
Lev wiggles delightedly in his seat.
"I am not going to get any of my homework done."
"You shouldn't be!"
He courageously takes Sasha's hand and puts it on his hair.
"Good!"
Gosh. Is that an invitation to pet Lev's hair, it looks very much like it is.
"Your hair is soft."
He makes a little happy noise and presses his head into Sasha's shoulder.
(He has entirely forgotten that Marlo exists.)
Seeing them both happy is — warm. Good.
(Thank you, Erogame.)
"See you tomorrow?" he says to Sasha.
