Sexual alignments
are composed of two facets: a drive, representing the extent to
which a person surrenders to their libido, and an orientation, displaying
their preference in gender. Kinks, particular likes & dislikes,
build up these (see section below).
Drive
Abstinent – Abstinent characters have better things
to do with their time than indulge in petty hedonism. They may be
focused on their cause, adamant in their self-control or simply
fearful of social disapproval. They avoid sexual situations, and
are often disdainful of those with less restraint than themselves.
Moderant – Moderant characters are indeed sexual
beings, but are not foolish enough to let their desires hold sway
over them. They welcome an opportunity to exercise their passions,
but sexuality is far from the be-all and end-all of life.
Indulgent – Indulgent characters embrace their sexuality
as a major, if not defining, factor of themselves and seek to gratify
their urges whenever the opportunity presents itself. Those that
repress their deepest feelings for whatever peculiar reasons are
looked at with some confusion – why would they deny themselves
to such an extent?
Orientation
Gyno – Gyno characters are solely interested in the
company of women; they are horrified and disgusted by the thought
of sexual activity with men, treating them as an unaccepted gender
for the purposes of Prowess checks.
Bi-Gyno – Bi-Gyno characters prefer the company of
women, and usually seek them exclusively. Attitudes to sexual activity
with men range from inquisitiveness to disinterest, treating them
as of an unpreferred gender for the purposes of Prowess checks.
Bi – Bi characters may have a preference between
men and women, but are essentially open to activity with everyone.
They can be considered ‘sexually ambidextrous’ in that
they can swing both ways without penalty.
Bi-Andro - Bi-Andro characters prefer the company of men,
and usually seek them exclusively. Attitudes to sexual activity
with women range from inquisitiveness to disinterest, treating them
as of an unpreferred gender for the purposes of Prowess checks.
Andro - Andro characters are solely interested in the company
of men; they are horrified and disgusted by the thought of sexual
activity with women, treating them as an unaccepted gender for the
purposes of Prowess checks.
Sample
Alignment
Apollo Whiteheart (LN) is a 27-year-old human, possessed of muscular
build and a shock of black hair. He comes across to his comrades
as an ardent warrior whose only concern is for battle, never relinquishing
in the face of his opponents and possessed of unbounded camaraderie.
Below this solid exterior, however, Apollo’s love is not for
combat but his male comrades (Andro). It is this repressed aspect
that inspires his valiance in battle, but he does his best not to
let his emotional concerns control him (Abstinent).
Conventional
and Sexual Alignment (sidebar)
Whilst there are no fixed rules regarding the matter, a person’s
ethical alignment may give some insight into their sexual one. A
person’s libido is a haphazard, unpredictable force that defies
attempts to analyse or control it, and hence is more prevalent amongst
chaotic characters; lawful characters tend to repress their sexualities
as an undesirable aspect of their mentality, or clarify and focus
it toward the andro- and gyno- orientations. Moral alignments offer
fewer guidelines, but evil characters have a stronger tendency to
sate themselves on the fulfilment that sexuality can provide at
the expense of others, whilst good characters may mute their desires
out of concern for the implications for their partners. Hence, indulgent
characters are more often evil than good, although this isn’t
a clear pattern.
