Designing Desire: Building Characters with Heart (and Stats)

Every hero begins with a concept — the thief with a silver tongue, the knight torn between duty and temptation, the mage who hides power behind a smile.

In Eros Engine, character creation isn’t just about numbers on a sheet. It’s about what draws people together — and what pushes them apart.

Each player crafts a persona through six Attributes:
Charm, Appearance, Sensitivity, Stamina, Arousal Control, and Willpower.
These are the bones of personality and performance — from quick wit to endurance under pressure.

Then come the Skills, where technique meets storytelling:
Flirting, Oral Technique, Control, Performance, Kissing, Endurance, and more.
Every roll becomes a glimpse of who your character really is. Are they graceful or clumsy, confident or cautious, fiery or tender?

To make each persona unique, players choose Perks (talents like Iron Control or Silver Tongue) and Kinks, which aren’t punchlines but personality traits — desires that color how they connect.

Finally, each character defines Favorites and Turn-offs — their emotional fingerprints.
These don’t just change the dice; they guide the tone of every encounter.

Creating a character in Eros Engine means designing a person who feels real — capable of awkwardness, confidence, vulnerability, and growth.

Because in this system, you don’t just level up your stats.
You evolve your heart.
