Consent Codex — Summary Capsule

Core Premise

A world of strange, uncensored powers—exotic and uncanny rather than MCU-standard. Among them, sex-based gifts exist where intimacy is central, not taboo. The narrative opposes consent-based gifts (heroes) with violation-based corruption (villains), forming a dark but hopeful allegory of sovereignty, intimacy, and healing.

Protagonists (Consent Powers)

• The Healer: Mends flesh and soul through intimacy, but only with consent; cannot heal himself unless someone truly wants him well.
• The Absorber: Draws knowledge and skill through intimacy; risks fragmentation when overloaded.
• The Symbiote: Temporarily shares strength, senses, and pain with partners; echoes of past bonds linger.

Antagonists (Violation Powers)

• The Ravener: A fallen healer who violated consent to “save” someone; now parasitic, fissured with lightning, convinced violation is necessary.
• The Puppeteer: Forges false bonds to overwrite wills; builds an empire of counterfeit “lovers.”
• The Desecrant: Corrupts intimacy glyphs, rotting trust and collapsing bonds from within.

Ethos & Patterns (Observed, Not Absolute)

• Consent fuels clean activation and magnification of intimacy-based powers.
• Violation fragments the wielder—evil appears as splintering or forced, brittle unity.
• Mundane persists: cosmic gifts coexist with everyday life—humor and ordinary beats ground the mythic.

The Bottleneck Scene

The Absorber lies dying, barely conscious. The Healer knows only intimacy can save her—but it requires her consent. He pleads for her to surface enough to say “yes.” She whispers it; the word is thunder. Their union heals her, steadies him, and forges a new glyph—the Consent Seal—proving that consent-based intimacy outpowers violation and turning the war’s tide.

Tone

• Dark, horrifying, sexual—never cheap or exploitative.
• Human & wry—mundane beats (coffee, laundry, bathroom, lawn) thread the epic.
• Ultimately hopeful—a luminous end earned through fire, not a nihilistic collapse.
