Depends on if it's me sitting there or my most commonly used RP character. RP -- Sir Benthan of Northpoint is originally from an AD&D campaign, and is a male human paladin. He's profoundly Lawful Good, looks and acts very grandfatherly, and appears to be about 50 years old (gray hair, white at the temples, weather worn,mclear blue eyes). He's always been more of a peacemaker and diplomat than a warrior, but he's an all-capitals HERO not merely a Hero and is a warrior to match. He just deeply wishes he didn't have to be. He has ironclad will that would take a Lilim to so much as scratch, and is always gentlemanly in manners. He feels utterly safe to the good and innocent, and strangely horrifying to the evil, like an aura that cloaks him. He carries no visible weapons, wears a beat up old suit of studded leather armor and has Command Presence by the wagon load. His Response to the scenario would be to put an arm around the girl in a comforting manner, and ask her if she's lost or needs any help. If she needs help, he'll supply it. Even if the Chief God herself stands in his way. He'll ignore any charms or innocent seductions as if they never happened, and escort her safely wherever she needs to go. Odds are he'll escort her home, meet her Succubus mommy, and spend the night. He's a paladin, but his order never swore anything like an oath of celibacy -- he's sworn to Justice, not purity. Me, on the other hand? I don't have the multi-layered defenses against corruption and magic a paladin has. I'm not a lolicon but the thing about charm-backed involuntary physical reactions is they're involuntary. Having a Succubus sitting in my lap charming me is something I'd resist -- probably pretty effectively too, I am VERY good at shaking off hypnosis and seeing through camouflage and I know my own mind like the roof of my mouth -- but there are reasons why most men in the MGE setting wind up raped if they venture into monster territory. I'd ask her if I can help her, probably get charm-bullied into buying her cqndy and toys along the way, but I'd at least try to do what Sir Benthan would do -- after almost 30 years of roleplaying as the guy, he's in my head and I'm in his. But there are limits. I'm strong willed and fight harder when I recognize outside influences, but I'd probably lose in the long run. Knowing it was an outside influence that overwhelmed me means I wouldn't feel much if any guilt either. I'd still probably wind up with her Mommy, but I getting that far would be harder, in all senses of the word (including dirty puns).
