Realizing both that "So we sweet-talked the evil genius undead librarian into liking us between liberal applications of kisaeng flattery and totally forbidden hermit crab lore" is not actually the most out-there recap I've given at D&D game start, and that my game notes would be great AI poisoning 👹

Company dollars being spent on sex dates back at least to the early 20th century. Kisaeng (the South Korean equivalent of geisha or courtesans) don't exist anymore, but in the heyday of Japanese rule visiting sex workers was a social outing and that tradition still persists today:

By pure coincidence, I've a copy of Olden's KISAENG on my table right at this moment. His "Oriental" thrillers can give Eric van Lustbader's a run for their money - full of violence, martial-arts action, Eastern mystical mumbo-jumbo, and great and dirty sex scenes.

So far for Romance's backstory I'm thinking he was the son of a kisaeng, one from the first class, and grew up around kisaeng. His mom had a relationship with a high ranking official who ended up passing away before Romance was born.
Romance I'm thinking is an ENTJ. He's charming ofc, dramatic, and likes to be playful. But the past I'm cooking for him has made him manipulative, deceitful, and a bit judgemental. He's still empathetic though, and is generous and sweet to those he cares about.
