Steve Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Re: The "Essay"(ESSE/UEH) Project(Warning: mature/controversial content contained her Well, as I recall, the Hard To Get Superbabe one comes from an amazon culture and she distrusts men as a psychological complication. My thinking is her personality implies that her abilities to resist should be more male-focused. For the Hard To Get Babe, if she's straight, that's already a higher difficulty level. She's probably had to deal with men trying to get into her pants since puberty, so her defenses would likely be more targeted against men.

Steve Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Re: The "Essay"(ESSE/UEH) Project(Warning: mature/controversial content contained her Yeah, I'm going to do a writeup for the ex-wife, and for his associate. The cop could probably use the Hard to Get Babe writeup, with some additional points for higher physical stats, detective skills, contacts, martial arts, and a handgun. I could write up Fat Tiger, though the character as conceived was considerably less of a womanizer than the Wolf. Consider their combat stats similar, and shed most of the talents(he'd have a level or two of SA, Charm, and a couple other things, though--he's a relatively suave and debonair crime boss). Hadn't thought of a female crime boss--perhaps a Latina? I had originally conceived of the character as the James Bond of private eyes. He's almost the "mature adult" equivalent of harem manga/anime(most harem heroes are in their teens or early 20s, and rarely "close the deal" with any of the women(or men--there are reverse harem manga/anime as well) competing for them). For the female crime boss, I would suggest either a Yakuza 'princess' sort of girl, possibly in line to succeed her father, or maybe a Russian mafia, ex-spy sort of woman. Both of them would be able to see through Wolf's charm, but they could still have strong desires for him. Both hard to get and also quite dangerous.

ErikModi Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Re: The "Essay"(ESSE/UEH) Project(Warning: mature/controversial content contained her I have to step in as definition police for a moment: A "fetish" is something without which a person cannot become aroused. While it is frequently misused to mean "something strange someone likes," by definition it is something without which the person cannot perform. A person with a shoe fetish, for instance, cannot become aroused without shoes being involved. "Kink" is a more accurate term for something that someone enjoys, but is not necessary for them to perform. A person with a shoe kink will enjoy their encounter a lot more if shoes are involved, but if shoes are not involved, it does not hinder their performance. I bring this up specifically because, with way complications work in Hero, the difference between kink and fetish is extremely important. A kink would be worth less points, because the person can still perform without it, while a fetish would be worth more points, as the person has to ask every potential sexual partner to do X. A person with a kink can more easily keep it hidden, as they can really get to know their partner (including intimately) before broaching the subject. A person with a fetish by definition must bring the fetish up with their partner before physical intimacy can occur. The complications you listed are good, megaplayboy, but drawing it along the kink/fetish lines probably makes more sense. Common, Uncommon, and Rare kinks/fetishes would be worth more points. Something like: Kink: 5 points Fetish: 10 points Common: 5 points Uncommon: 10 points Rare: 15 points. In this case, Common, Uncommon, and Rare would relate to how close to "vanilla" the kink or fetish is. As the kink/fetish in question gets progressively "weirder" (and thus, a harder topic to broach with a potential partner) the points for it go up. I hesitate to being giving examples, as I'm not sure how well-received that would be on these boards. Also, one person's kink is another's vanilla, and some things considered extremely weird or "deviant" by some people barely register as kinky to others.

Also, one person's kink is another's vanilla, and some things considered extremely weird or "deviant" by some people barely register as kinky to others. There's a link higher up in the thread which allows people to look up various paraphilias, kinks and fetishes. Thanks for the insight. "kink" and "paraphilia" may be somewhat interchangeable at the moderate level, while "fetish" and paraphilia become synonymous at the "strong paraphilia" level. I'd also add a social complication if the kink or fetish is illegal and could potentially get the character arrested and thrown into or under the jail.

megaplayboy Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Re: The "Essay"(ESSE/UEH) Project(Warning: mature/controversial content contained her I think we could probably suss out which fetishes, kinks or philias are more likely to be socially outre by a quick perusal, no need for much detail: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_paraphilias (brief summary descriptions) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_fetishism (see the list of links at the bottom) the kinks/fetishes involving bodily secretions(blood, urine, feces, vomit) imo would be fairly outre though not illegal. those involving a non-consenting party(underage, rape, necrophilia, bestiality) are both outre and illegal. Most of the other stuff on the lists falls into the "potentially embarrassing but not icky or illegal" category, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Re: The "Essay"(ESSE/UEH) Project(Warning: mature/controversial content contained her In addition to the "Unwanted Harem" mentioned by megaplayboy above, there is also the "Love Triangle" which can be simpler in some ways but also more complicated in others. At its most basic form, you just have two DNPCs, and they can be equals in power level to the character (and each other) or different power levels. Those two DNPCs will usually have a Romantic (sometimes also Professional) Rivalry with each other. The pair will fight with each other or try and one-up each other. If the character is protective of their "territory" when it comes to the DNPCs, that could cause Romantic Rivalries to develop, or even Hunteds who want one or both of the DNPCs. Romantic Unluck can also be fun in combination with the above (Unluck only in romantic situations; -1 Limitation). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaplayboy Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Re: The "Essay"(ESSE/UEH) Project(Warning: mature/controversial content contained her I suppose Romantic Unluck would be "something happens to either spoil the moment or complicate a romantic situation"--two ends of the romantic triangle show up at the same place at the same time; the character spills soup or a drink on the date's new outfit; the couple gets held up at gunpoint during a romantic walk together; due to circumstances or something they did, thought about or drank, character either achieves "premature liftoff" or "launch failure" during intimacy; place where couple goes for romantic getaway happens to be where character or DNPC's "ex" is staying, too; and so forth.

megaplayboy Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Re: The "Essay"(ESSE/UEH) Project(Warning: mature/controversial content contained her So, I made a list of writeups the other night. It's fairly long, although some are just variations on a theme. Power and point levels all over the map. You may have noticed I sometimes have difficulty doing writeups on a more modest point budget. Anyway, a mix of Action Hero, Fantasy, Sci Fi, Erotic Horror, and Superhero stuff. I feel like we've gotten a good start on the charm/SA-related skills and talents. We still need to write up power "sets": 1. Hyper Attractiveness 2. Hyper Seduction 3. Hyper Charisma 4. Erotic Mind Control(EMC)--both blatant and subtle/unconscious varieties 5. Body Manipulation(self and others) 6. Summonings and Enchantments 7. Empathy and Emotion Control(focusing on love and lust, obviously) 8. Bliss/Pleasure Powers 9. Tantric Magic and Sex Magic(both for sexual enhancement and using sex for more conventional spells) 10. Fetishistic powers--e.g. Bondage, Pain, Animating Sex Dolls, Tentacles, etc. Skillwise--probably Charm sub-skills like Flirting and Dating, KS: girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse, KS: male/female "types"(can be romantic, sexual or personality-wise), Courtship(as a complementary to High Society or Charm), Fashion/Dress, Grooming, Makeup, KS: Pickup lines, KS: Where to meet men/women in town, KS: Sex Magic, KS: Demonic Sex Rituals, KS: Angelic Love Rituals(but I repeat myself), Membership--sex club, Perk- "Dom", Perk--Harem Master or Mistress, Contact: Madam(or Escort Service), Contact: Strip Club Owner, Contact--Tantric Magi(org contact), Contact--Witches' coven, Contact--Succubus Queen, "Sexual" Favors(i.e., "good for one booty call"), KS: [specific] Sexual Technique, PS: Perform [specific] Sexual Technique, PS: Prostitute/Gigolo/Professional Escort/Call Girl/Comp Girl/Geisha/Stripper/etc. Followers and summoned beings--differentiating "friendly", "amicable", "loyal" and "slavishly devoted" Anyway, just thinking out loud again...

Steve Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Re: The "Essay"(ESSE/UEH) Project(Warning: mature/controversial content contained her For Body Manipulation, are you referring to abilities like Shape Shift? When talking about physical intimacy, the two big risks are disease and pregnancy. Each of them can be dealt with using appropriate levels of Life Support. Pregnancy immunity has been officially stated by Steve Long to cost five points, and it has also been written up in "The Ultimate Metamorph" with the non-persistant limitation as Pregnancy Control. I'm not sure how much an immunity to VD would be, but I suspect 2-3 points would be about right. I like the idea of sub-skills for Charm, but I'm wondering how they would be applied. I mentioned Romantic Unluck in a previous posting, and that implies that Romantic Luck could also occur. Having both would give a person an 'interesting' love life. Taking four or more dice of Romantic Luck wlcould go a ways to explain how some Don Juan types do so well. It's not so much their skill or attractiveness, but they just seem to find the right thing to say or do to please their target and interest them.
