Board Thread:Role Ideas (Mafia)/@comment-39067078-20190506214437

Minimal Effort Copy and Paste Layout, please verbally attack me for this.

Name: Marshal

Alignment: Mafia Deception

Lore:

The Wild West wasn't a hard place to be in. Being an outlaw was easy, lying was easier. Banks had a schedule for robbing, and he stook to it. He got away scott-free with the special trick of making the banker look like he was part of the crime too.

The time came and went, the Sheriff left and the small town of Freewood went into anarchy. What was left was nothing.

The sheriff had done this, he was sure. His revenge plan was exact.

The Marshal, deceiving as ever, had a plan. Traveling in a transported wagon, he sought the town itself.

On the day it came, he already saw how corrupt the town had been: accusing, lynching the innocent, and searching people's houses against their will.

He came up the the Godfather, a calm man with a cigar in his hand. They had conversed for what seemed like hours, scheming all night.

In the morning, the father announced he was the Bodyguard, a humble man trying to protect his fellow townies.

Another man shout out, "You're not the Bodyguard! I am!"

The father, without breaking a sweat, just calmly passed the man off as a Jester looking for attention.

The townsmen all asked for him to prove it. He simply said that they should lynch the true Bodyguard. It went sour very quickly. The Blackmailer had been lynched almost immediately for being too quiet, and the town had all agreed that both the Bodyguard and the father should be occupied, one in jail and the other at home.

The night passed, and no one at the meeting had a clue what to do.

The Marshal knew what to do, from experience as a robber.

He grabbed his revolver and took off to a house.

He rushed to grab spares of a gas can and took it to the house, looking to make people think he was an Arsonist.

The time came, the Bodyguard was no longer. Carefully, the gas can was lowered into the man's hands.

Daybreak came, the people gazed at the dead man with the gas can.

The Marshal looked in glee, the father would now be safe from the town.

Unbeknownst to him, the father would be lynched. The town cried, "The Arsonist can't be killed by the guns you wield!"

Attack: Basic (Explained later)

Defense: None

Unique Role: No

Priority: 2

Abilities: During the night, make it seem as if someone is a different role.

Attributes: May talk in Mafia chat, will kill the target if GF or Mafioso is roleblocked.

Mechanics: 

During the night, select a target. You will gain a list of what role you want them to appear as, should they die. However, their will will still be the same.

If several people attack your target, their will will be wiped, but nothing else.

If all known mafioso and GF are roleblocked, you will take it into your own hands and shoot your target. You can only do this once.

-Investigative Results-

Sheriff: Your target is suspicious!

Investigator: Your target could be Medium, Janitor, or Retributionist, or Marshal (Your target works with dead bodies.)

(Hard time claiming Medium or Retri if a tracker is on you)

Consigliere/Witch: Your target is a robber! They must be a Marshal!

For all goals, just assume Mafia.

Purpose/Reason: Roleblocking people to find out who the killing mafia is usually results in a lot of rage for either team.

Town already has the highest win-rate, but removing the element of RB scumreads and opening up mafia to fake claiming can be helpful. It also creates a sort-of peace with NKS (if coordinated) to help fool town. This role can really open mafia up to Neutrals, which is sort of incorporated into the lore.
