Alignment: Maifa Deception.should be support

Attack: None.

Defense: None.

Ability: After 3 nights you can choose to become any random mafia role (or if there is no Mafioso alive, you can choose to become a Mafioso).why three nights?

Atributes:

--Before you transform into any other role you will follow the Mafioso/Godfather (Depending on who is attacking) at night.interesting mechanic that makes sense lore-wise 

--You do not automaticlly transform into a mafioso if there is no mafioso left. (You can still choose another random mafia role. The game will still transfrom you into a Mafioso next night if there is no other mafia left.) '''No, that would just.. why? There’s no point in choosing anything else.'''

Sheriff: Suspicious.

Investigator: Framer/Vamp/Jester/Hex Master/Trainee. I see how that fits with the idea

Conigliere/Witch: Your target is a member of the Mafia, but they don't have any specific job yet. They must be a Trainee.a bit long

Goal: Kill anyone who doesn't submit to the Mafia!

Notes:

-It can be dificult to keep a reliable will if you wait for the mafioso/gf to die. So just waiting for Godfather to die so you can become a mafioso will not always work.

-Waiting too much can become the thing that kills the whole mafia. One bad visit and a lookout can get both you and the Mafia Killing that you followed lynched/executed.didnt you say after three nights

-This role will get detected pretty easilly by a spy as 3 visits on a cleaned person or 2 visits on a dead person every night can only mean a Trainee (Or a really bad/unsatisfied Disguiser) yup, i like how it is easily findable that it exists

-During the 3 days period if you get investigated you are basically dead. Unlike RedDeath, I actually kind of like this, however it definitely needs tweaks.

The idea I disagree with most is the way you have to choose by n3. As it says “Automated Role - Any roles that automatically perform actions without any player input. One example would be an Arsonist whose targets instantly die after dousing 3 people and is forced to pick targets sequentially from the top of the list. This takes the whole "gameplay" element out of Town of Salem.” I’d suggest making it that the trainee can choose at any time, making it more a strategy thing to either decide what you want to be quickly, making you less detectable, or decide what is best for the situation to choose, risking detection. I would suggest maybe a feature that makes the decided role better or worse depending how long you spend ‘training’.

Also it should become mafioso when no other mk. (And it shouldn’t be able to choose mafioso or godfather)
