The spark from bounteous sensuality colliding with discriminating comradeship.
Attributes: The Slut is easy. Easy to get a long with. Easy to please. Easy to trust. And easy to be infatuated with, despite her lack of personal loyalty.
She is the woman every female reviles, but feels immanently threatened by.
She is the lass with every male desires, but can never quite acquire.
Whore? Prostitute? Harlot? Derogation often spat by the petty, and bitter, but never capturing the essence of the Slut. The Slut isn’t interested in any particular form of wealth; even if nobly called a courtesan it’s obvious the Slut simply isn’t focused in maintaining a particular mans (no matter how gravitas) attention.
The Slut does as The Slut pleases, mastering her social sphere, and serving as an anchor of voluptuousness to whomever or whatever she chooses to associate herself with.
Taboos: The Slut is always a female, though the 90’s saw epically catty battle between flaming homosexual men, and prodigiously promiscuous women: the later came out on top every time.
The Slut is loyal only in the most idealized sense. She must select a social-group, this can be any group with access to large numbers of potential sexual partners; “Class of 2011”, “Shaded Pines Nursing Home”, “The Accounting Floor” “West Oak Neighborhood”, etc. The Slut can not explicitly refuse sexual liaisons from members of this group who make their desires explicit.
Symbols: Tramp Stamps, plump lips, gaudy make-up, bare cleavage, long fake fingernails, isolation from other women, prominent undisguised semen stains, obnoxious and constant gum chewing, uncomfortable suggestive clothes.
Possible Avatars: The perversely suggestive Neighbor Lady, the never lonely geriatric, the woman who sits seamlessly at the mens table, The Man who offers his fortune to the women no one else in the family has ever heard of!
Channels:
1%-50%: At this level The Slut begins forging an entourage of men who constantly seek her company for as long as The Slut supplies a steady stream of sex. These men, even when it is blatantly obvious that they are sharing her will shower her with infatuation. They must pass a soul check against The Slut skill to avoid offering her ample attention, aggressively defending her honor and person, and otherwise showering her with praise and adoration.
Does the Slut need bodyguards? Gather some of her men for a few nights out on the town. Does she need to lay low? Hide in one of her “boyfriends” attics, while said boyfriend unabashedly demand his wife to prepare extra food for him to secret up. Only the vaguest of explanation is necessary from her.
51%-70%: At this level the Slut has little to worry about from most men. Her most dangerous enemy are other women who see her as a potential usurper to their men, and status. Their fears are correct! The Slut gains a 30% shift in any soul skill other than Avatar, when attempting to sow animosity in the hearts of men towards any woman.
This channel can get fathers to despise meddlesome daughters, happy husbands to loath their loyal wives, and sons to disrespect mothers in short order!
71%-90: At this level The Sluts legion of admirers become true sycophants. Every time the admirer shares coitus with The Slut, he loses a point of mind, and gains 3 points towards an Obsession Skill “The Slut”.
This skill is a general idea of just how much of the the admirers contemplations are centered around the Slut. Where it’s normal for a lowly Slut to be in the back of an admirers official partners head during copulation, an admirer with an obsession skill see’s the Slut in every bowl of cereal, in every T.V news anchoress, scrawled imperfectly along the face of every female relative!
Every point gives the Slut a day she does not have to interact with her partner or even acknowledge his existence while still maintaining the benefits of the first channel.
It is not unusual for the Slut to trigger an ascent/descent towards adapt-hood in her lusty worshipers.
91%: The Slut at this level has forged such a bond of symbiosis between her sexuality, and her partners longings that it becomes as natural as breath for her loinful obsessives to offer the perfect tribute to the Slut. This is rarely monetary. Once per a day the Slut can make an Avatar roll against one of her followers. The follower will present the Slut with the perfect tribute. The sycophant will ignore any insanity check necessary. Murder someone who has crossed the Slut? Without even suggesting her involvement if caught. Rob and steal? With abandon. Fire the critical woman who called the Slut incompetent? With extreme prejudice!
Rumors:
-A Slut has wrapped all of city hall, in a small town around her finger and is now passing laws the punish chasteness, and rewards vulgarity and debauchery in local women.
-A Slut and a Flying Woman are slinging major mojo, in the cat-fight of the decade!
-A Slut has entrapped a large number of powerful Sleepers in her steamy loins.
-A Cabal of Sluts, Pornomances, and Flying women are attempting to drop some major Gaia themed magic come 2012, which will inevitably lead to the ascent of a Goddess, while empowering matriarchy, and misandry the world over!
-The woman Lilith from the Bible allegory of Eden is based on is has imprisoned the Comte.
Cool!
I don’t know about one of the rumors, though.
‘A Slut has wrapped all of city hall, in a small town around her finger and is now passing laws the punish chasteness, and rewards vulgarity and debauchery in local women.’
It seems like the power of the Slut lies in the repressed sexuality of other women, not in it’s expression.

I must disagree. I don’t think the isolating nature of The Slut(towards other women) allows her to care one way or the other how chaste, or indiscriminate other women sexuality are.
The Slut is a threat to ANY woman who prefers monogamy, and is unconcerned about other women she might be sharing her men with (As long as The Slut isn’t deprived of his attention) With the middle two channels, the Slut with the highest avatar reliably drowns out potential rivals.
To me that rumor has more to do with a choice in aesthetic of a certain Slut, were as another might go in the opposite direction.
This particular Slut might just prefer sanction of her behavior, or despise public scorn.
Or maybe she is just a servant of entropy and wants to abolish institutional monogamy.
Thank you for the feedback! =)
Huh. Well-written and the balance looks about right. Plays into some very misogynist tropes about women, but they do exist in the culture, so I guess it fits into canon there.
But, uh, isn’t this awfully similar to the canonical “Naked Goddess”/WECHBY?
Who’s to say it’s not the WECHBY?
As far as I know, her avatar channels are not described in canon, even though the existence of her Avatar is almost certain.
TedPro:
I am curious what you mean by misogynistic.
Certainly base, but misogyny would imply some sort of flaccidity in this avatar towards men.
I have tried to empower a trope that is often caricatured unflattering, which is why I basically wrote this archetype as being able to birth maddeningly-obsessed cults wholesale by the slightest interaction with her potent sexuality.
I mean she can’t turn down sex from a particular group of men, but that sounds to me like a small price to pay for a horde of fawning worshiper who will do “ANYTHING” to taste her flesh.
You know, I hadn’t thought about it, but with the obsession skill her enthusiasts develop I imagine they could codify some standardized magic based around a particular Slut–So ya, I guess the Naked Goddess could just be a God-walker or Clergy of the Slut.
Ted & Anon:
What is a WECHBY O.O?
The “Woman Everyone Can Have But You” — the name bandied about for the Avatar to which the Naked Goddess ascended.
They sound like opposites of the same coin.
I mean if your not part of The Sluts social clique, then she might turn you down, but that’s only because she isn’t interested. There are no metaphysics behind it, it’s just an aesthetic.
The Slut’s power isn’t in hording her sexuality, but in ladling it out to hungry “peers”
