Summary - a war torn ghost who reaps the souls of the dead

Alignment - neutral evil (there has got to be a better alignment)

Wins with - neutral of any kind. Surv, jugg, exe, sk, you name it so it’s goal is to kill every non neutral?

Defense - basic (I'll explain)

Attack - basic (this looks like nk I know I'll explain) it really does

Mechanics - 1: select somebody every night, (you do not kill them) if they die you add their soul to your collection. Their role and will is reaped (cleaned). You can see their role and will(like janitor). A little hard but ok.

2: select one of you're reaped sould as the first target and another as the second. You kill the second player, and the soul cannot be used again. The 1st targets role and will is shown instead of the killed player's role, and the soul's method of death is also shown. How is this not just a weak nk?

3: every time a full moon passes, your defense goes up one. If you are attacked, you lose all defense. If you are attacked on a full moon and you have no defense, you die, and if you are attacked on a full moon with defense, you still wake up with none. It is a very fragile role with regenerative defense. Invincible is the limit. When you are attacked, you lose all of your defense in the morning, so if you are attacked multiple times in a night you are fine. For short: Defense changes are priority 6

Does not trigger tp like crus and trapper when reaping if there is a killing role it can target instead

Invest results - med, Jan, retri, Necro, spectre

Sherf results - sus

Consig - "You're target reaps the souls of the dead. They must be a spectre!

Lookout - in the target that the specter is attacking, he will only see the spectre/whoever else waltzes bye. This is not Necro.

Tracker - visits his 1st target when reaping, and his 2nd target when killing.

Must win with other nutrals - cannot win with town, mafia or coven, can win with vamps

Doesn't heed victory - ie if he is the only evil left, the game is over and the dominating faction wins. Like witch...

Notifications ("The spectre has reaped your doomed soul!") ("You were haunted by the captured soul!") ("The full moon has strengthened your bond to this world. Your defense is now (basic/powerful/invincible)") ("Your bond to this world has been weakened by an attacking force!") ("You have barely kept your grip on reality, you have survived an unstoppable blow!")

Recap

Recharging defense, every full moon makes you more real(more bonded to the world of life rather than of death than you were) but your hold is crippled by attacks.

Reaps souls from people that were going to die

Uses those souls to kill people

Cleans souls

Soul's will, role and method of death will be visible, nothing else... This character doesn't have his own kill sequence during day(He apparently committed suicide. He was also stabbed by a serial killer.)

Wins with neutrals. So in ranked it’s a weak nk appearing in the ne slot to help the nk

Like a witch but it doesn’t get information, kills slowly on its own, and helps only nk. If nk dies, it loses, but lives, which is something no other role has or should have.

Not that it’s particularly unbalanced in any way, it simply doesn’t really fit into town of Salem as it is really hard to win, causes an extra load of kills in ranked, and can’t win if nk dies.
