Description: Outplaying everyone was Victim's catch. When Victim was little, he was abused and could not slip out of tough situations. But, he was used to it now. The patronizing and the hatred vanished as he ignored it. However, Victim always had a heart for a good sellout, and a few medicinal handbooks his ignorant father brought home were some of the few thing he could enjoy reading.

Victim always loved putting pieces together, as if they were a puzzle of crime. Victim constantly stayed up all night pretend patrolling of what he sought to be rightfully his. However, one night, this was short lived as the Serial Killer killed his mother in his sleep, and Victim was attacked as well. However, miraculously, the boy lived. Nobody knew why he was still alive, but everyone pitied.

Victim was named Victim as events continued to unravel. He shared multiple pieces of information to the Sheriff and Investigator, but they never listened. He had even check what remained of his "dead body" and his damned crime scene. Now, Victim works solo. He finds information by being the bait, as he deliberately plays as a prey and then bites back.

Victim always stood one step ahead. Especially faking his death. That was just his gig.

Alignment: Town Investigative '''Ooh. TIs are always hard to make balanced.'''

Unique: No

Summary: You are an orphan who baits their enemies. '''Why do they have to be an orphan? ;-;'''

Attack: None Defense: None (On alert, becomes Powerful) Wins With: Survivor, Town Ability: Go on alert to find any suspicious attackers names.

Attributes: You can go alert 3 times.''' hmm... What does this remind me off...'''

Mechanics: You can go alert to reveal any attacker(s) name(s) and role(s) that attack you on the night you alert. okay...

You become Powerful in defense while on alert for that night.

You can't block an Arsonist attack. '''obviously lol. Its an unstoppable attack and you only have powerful defense.''' -Investigator Results- Investigator: Your target could be a Vigilante, Veteran, Victim, or Mafioso. Sheriff: Your target is innocent. Consigliere: Your target finds information from being attacked, they must be a Victim! Goal: Lynch every criminal and evil-doer.

-When attacking a Victim- Your attack on the target failed, but you feel as if someone knows your secret. okay...

-When visiting/protecting a victim- Your target was attacked, but faked his death! '''okay... But will a bodyguard stop you from seeing your attackers name? Like if a BG protects you from the mafioso, will you still see the mafioso's name and role?''' This is the most OP role I've ever read except if you made a role like an unlynchable insta-pestilence. You basically just vet bait and you can confirm anyone. Even if a town visits you, you can confirm them as town. The only things keeping this card down is that it can only alert 3 times. This is just so OP because you can 100% confirm so many people. The thought that it is not unique and there could be multiple makes me throw up. This would make it so hard to play mafia it would be unreal.

I just can't explain how easy a town victory would be with this role. On alert nights, you almost can't be killed, you confirm anyone that visits you, and if a mafia visits you your 100% sure they are guilty. But...

1. Can a person that visits you be framed? Like a framed townie shows up as GF or something when they visit you? That would be cool

2. I like the investigator results because the alerts are similar to the veteran, but I feel like it should be changed. That would be 75% chance of town which is way too much.

3. Can you change the name of the alerts? I think they should be something different from the veteran. I don't have any ideas, but someone probably does.

Overall it seems like a really OP role, and it's not even unique. I would suggest maybe changing the alert system so it wasn't so automatically confirming. Maybe just saying names like:

You where visited by Cult. You where also visited by John Proctor.

​​​​​​​You where bugged by a. You where also attacked by the.

So maybe you might have to guess who is who. Although this wouldn't work if only one person visited you.

I have no idea how to fix this role so... 3/10  : )
