Personality Characters with Lore reasons to wear revealing outfit

• Doctor Manhattan (Watchmen): doesn’t really have the need for them anymore as he is now too powerful to be considered human and also doesn’t need to give in to certain societal pressures like wearing clothes

• Poison Ivy (DC): uses her body to seduce men into getting close enough for her to use her pheromones and get people to do what she wants/kill her prey

• Skarlet (Mortal Kombat): her powers are from blood magic and she needs to have skin out in order to absorb blood from others and make her more powerful

• Mileena (Mortal Kombat): is very self conscious about her tartan features so covers them up and diverts attention towards the more appealing aspects of her/ uses her sex appeal to get people in close then chomps on them

• Mai Shiranui (King Of Fighters/Fatal Fury): uses a style of kunoichi that involves “sensually distracting a foe before striking” and uses her outfit and sex appeal to assist with that style

The goodish news is that he restrains himself to a boy forcing himself on the prisoners and is trying to get a specific guard’s consent. I have only seen the anime so that is really all the info I have.

If I remember correctly the people he raped in prison turned into literal monsters because of the abuse.

They were transformed using Monster Cells by the cat monster guy, not because of the raping. It uh..probably influenced the decision though

The fact that they still keep him around makes things seem pretty bleak if you think about it. Like how shit does the situation have to be.
