As you can see, the x axis does not include homophobia. BZ may be at 10 but Daimon, who is also homophobic, is at 4.5.
The chart is a simplification of my character's complex sexuality. For instance, Daimon's sex drive will get a boost once he starts getting laid. Querl, who isn't in game yet, has moments where he's not interested in sex at all but then his sexual frustration builds up over time until KABLAM WOWZA AWESOME SEX.
In retrospect, I should have made Sofia's sex drive higher (around a 6 or 7) and Daimon closer to being bisexual (around a 3).
Also I apparently need to play more gay/bi characters.
Edit for a more complicated explanation:
Brainy as described above, Brainy is by and large indifferent to sex. However, once his interest has been piqued he can definitely enjoy himself (he has to keep up with Dream Girl). A lot of the time he'll have very little interest and be working in his lab. After long enough, the hormones start pooling and need release so WHAM. We get the situation above. He is more Nura!sexual (or, more broadly, anyone he has feelings for at the time) but strikes me as almost evenly bisexual.
Daimon It feels sort of wrong to plot his sexuality on this chart because it's a complex interaction between his natural impulses, his darksoul (which would be 0, 10), and his evangelical roots. For the moment, his position on the coordinates is above. He is bisexual (which he totally denies) with a strong preference for women. Like Brainy, he's more obsessed with the person he has feelings for. He's not quite Patsy!sexual, thanks to his darksoul and hormones, but he's close. Once he is in a committed relationship his sex drive will go up as he's no longer keeping as close a check on himself. Interestingly, even his darksoul isn't that obsessed with women. It's more violent than sexual (although still very sexual I mean dude, it's the embodiment of sin). He even accuses his father of being more interested in carnal pleasures than in ruling hell with an iron fist.
Cassie is dead. O.K., no she's - er was? We'll just go with present tense for this. She's a teenager flooded with hormones. She likes sex a lot and craves physical contact. At the same time, she's not completely dominated by it and after a few rounds she's pretty happy. She's open to the idea of kissing girls (and has entertained the thoughts about a year or so prior) but it's not really her thing.
Sofia is pretty driven by her hormones, however she does a good job keeping them in check. Once she lets go though, you'd better batten down the hatches and ride out that storm.
James has lost his wife and has shown little interest in anyone else since her death. And now that he's aged, he has less of an interest in sex, which is good since he has no real desire to do anything with someone else.
Loren is more interested in being affectionate than having sex (although she's definitely interested in that). She's very solidly heterosexual.
Wanda definitely appreciates the men, although she restricts herself to just her husband, kthx. She definitely has a high libido but only for her husband. Judging by how they are in comics, I'd say they have a lot of sex behind the scenes.
Kawalsky is pretty self explanatory. Shiva played up his horny boozehound persona but it was still grounded in his actual characteristics.
Big Zero is highly sexual. I mean dude, she reprogrammed a robot to be her slave, including sex.
Anna's chart that doubles as example
