Modelling Equal Gender Appeal

[Merior]

How do you represent 'a man who even the men want'? (Or, for that matter, 'a woman who even the ladies like'?)


To explain a little more: I have been trying to figure out how to represent someone who can be the 'exception which proves the rule' for the sexuality of others. The best way I could see this represented in the rules would be if the character could use Sex Appeal on/against others regardless of gender.

(Specifically, this need not address the issue of trying to seduce those who lack gender/sexuality entirely.)

However the Sex Appeal skill itself, per B219, says:

"This is the ability to impress those who are attracted to members of your sex."

So far I have considered four way to get around this: Androgynous, Affliction, Perks, and Techniques.

1) The Androgynous option for Appearance could possibly work but it doesn't seem to cause attraction, just appeal. (Which I, admit, may be close enough.)

2) I began to try to figure out how to best model an Affliction which induced a 'Bisexual' Quirk via a Sense Based attack, but gave up quickly when I looked at the potential points cost.

3) Looking in "Power Ups 2 - Perks" I found three perks which come close, but didn't work out upon closer inspection and further thought.

• "Passing Appearance" : The 'Androgynous' version might work (at first), but it is about being mistaken for the 'other' gender rather than attraction as is.
• "Extra Option" : This could perhaps work... if there was an optional rule in existence which permitted bypassing the requirement.
• "Rules Exemption" : Not applicable as the issue isn't regarding an optional rule which has been applied.

4) The last option would be to have it fall under the aegis of a (likely cinematic) technique based off of Sex Appeal. However my knowledge of how to create that, or what any 'default' could or should be, is distinctly lacking.


I am inclined towards the Technique based path, but have gotten stuck. Could anyone suggest how to get this to work using any of these methods or even a different way?
