My main idea is that the heroines themselves sometimes take the initiative. Because now no matter what level of Appreciation/Exhibitionism(?)/Mood/Sluttiness/Submission the heroine has, if she is not touched, she will never turn to the hero. We do change their character and gradually they do things they didn't want to do before (or hid that they wanted). But the feeling is always that if we do not approach them, they do not care about the hero, no matter how we affected them.
It's always MC going to T'Ris asking for more favor, she refuses... MC finds ways to convince her.
Even when Moira tells MC about her worseining conditions it's MC that goes to T'Ris and ask her for help to help her.
T'Ris' problem can be looked at from another angle: she was frigid and for her the process of satisfying the captain was purely mechanical. But after she was cured of her frigidity she began to enjoy the process and was stressed because of it. I don't remember exactly, but to cope with the stress she was told that she was doing it for the team + a calming anal plug. I don't think her storyline is complete. But the point is that I absolutely do not see the contradiction in the fact that she will “calm down” the negligent captain who squanders the funds and she will do it not for herself but for the team (as she will convince herself).
No idea how this works with her being dominant if all her story steers her to be submissive, it sounds like forceing something that is neither logical nor practical.
When I said initiative on the heroine's part I didn't mean that the hero wakes up chained to the bed and the heroine rides him. As far as Dom/Sub is concerned, someone who is a Sub can be very even demanding and can quite easily control the actions of the Dom. The easiest example is after training to serve the master: she will bring coffee in the morning, but will only be wearing an apron on her naked body (of course it doesn't make much sense since they all go naked at the end, but you get the point) and the hero will jump on her.
... did we play the same game?
The only thing how this COULD work maybe that MC visists her at 18:00 and ask her to surprise him in his sleep as a favor I gues... since than MC would already have payd for this... but it would only be play at this.
I see Khelara as a woman with a strong character. Initially she didn't want to wear the uniform even though we captain and pay her. She just gave in and changed under the pressure of the whole team. She is quite open sexually, but at any advancement in sex with her we manage to achieve at the very end, which also speaks for her principles. Yes, they have a relationship of boss and subordinate who is paid, but this relationship can develop (that's the whole point of relationship progression in games, right?). After we starts having sex with her, she may like it and if we ignore her later (since she and the hero are in an open sexual relationship) she may choose to use the hero instead of the dildo in the shower.
Am I misreading Khelara's character?
Even with the drones manipulated which is late game towards the end, she would only allow to have Anal sex since her virginity needs to be intact when returning... also she is lazy and wants to be waited on hands and knees by the MC... she'd expect him to do all the work most likely... also she is more of a masochist since she is always competing with Nhime in most fields.
Despite being lazy she has quite a few stories of how she flirted with other people (who were then disintegrated by her father). She's very bored on the ship and given that she's always been forbidden anything to do with sex, now (if we give her the drone disabling device) she may well start doing things she tried to do under her father but failed (due to disintegration). I wouldn't say she's a masochist but rather very curious and naive (dumb). And being free she may herself approach the hero (especially if we encourage her/deceive her) for sex. Sex can also be anal, I don't see a problem with that.
... maybe?
I don't know still sounds totally out of Character for her as she is a romantic wanting to be conquered and swooned all the time.
Dr. Moira resisting Krell's imposed collar law as best she can. I wouldn't say she's a clean-cut damsel in distress. It's quite possible that she'll like it if we cast the heroine as the lead who pursues the hero in a trashy romance. And she might want to recreate that.
Like I said all of this is only when Appreciation/Exhibitionism(?)/Mood/Sluttiness/Submission is high. I just like the setting where after some stage the heroines show interest in the hero. I just want to show that it is quite possible, but in the end it is up to the author to decide whether he wants to add this to the game or not.
