Default Re: Social Vulnerability: Daddy Issues (?)

I would just represent it as a comination of Charitable (Accessibility, Older Adult Men Only, -30%) and Lecherousness (Accessibility, Older Adult Men Only, -30%). Since both disadvantages have a control number, I would combine them into Social Vulnerability (Older Adult Men) [-20] and modify the cost by the control number. It would represent a person who was excessively kind and compassionate to older men and who was excessively attracted to older men.

Now, the same format could be used for older adult women, younger adult men, or younger adult women. In the case of someone with a control number of (15), it would probably be seen as a charming character flaw. In the case of someone with a control number of (6), it would probably be seen as a pathological weakness. In the former case, it could represent someone who grew up around good and virtuous older men, so it distorts his or her perception of older men. In the latter case, it could represent an adaptation to an entire lifetime of abuse by older men, a default behavior meant to prevent pain and suffering.
