Surgeon (Surg)

Backstory:

'''The Doctor. It was always the Doctor.'''

'''"Thanks Doc!" a Townie would say. "Don't mention it." came the cool reply.'''

'''I hated him. He was the bane of my existence. All the hard work and effort I put into medical school. I worked harder than him, and was more knowledgeable than him. Yet, he received the praises, for curing the most simple of predicaments. A knife stab, a dose of poison, a gunshot.'''

'''I would create something more. Something which would put the Doctor to shame. I don't need to kill my targets. Rather, I would want to see them suffer and beg for help from the Doctor, and watch the Doctor embarrass himself when he is unable to resolve their problems.'''

'''I knew the Mayor was right to reject the Doctor’s aid. In the face of the public, he would never openly support what he condemned the Doctor was affiliated with: witchcraft. But in the shadows, he receives the Doctor’s help. I shall set that to right. Never again will the Mayor make himself known to the Town whilst receiving the Doctor’s aid.'''

'''The Doctor couldn't possibly revert a precise operation. He neither has the tools nor the skill. That was it. My masterplan. All those who submit to the Doctor will know the name of the Surgeon. '''

'''Attributes: You may not repeat an operation until you have performed all three. You may not perform an operation on a Revealed Mayor, however, performing an operation on an unrevealed mayor will prevent them from revealing the next day.'''

Messages:

'''"A Surgeon has performed an operation on your eyes. You were Blinded!" '''

'''"A Surgeon has performed an operation on your ears. You were Deafened!" '''

'''"A Surgeon has performed an operation on your mouth. You were Muted!" '''

- Surgeon's target notification at the end of the night, for each operation respectively.

"You operated on someone who does not belong to the Town.”

Surgeon's visiting a non Town role notification.

'''“Player: I am jailor.” “Player: No, you’re not.”'''

- Sample message of 2 people talking in day chat to a blinded target.

“You cannot reveal yourself as the Mayor when you are Blinded.”

“You cannot reveal yourself as the Mayor when you are Deafened.”

“You cannot reveal yourself as the Mayor when you are Muted.”

- Operated Mayor failing to reveal as Mayor notification.

Mechanics:

When a Surgeon visits a non Town role, the Surgeon will be notified.

'''A Deafened target will not know if he is being whispered to. However, the rest of the Town can see if the Deafened target is being whispered to.'''

Special/Notable Interactions:

Doctor - A Surgeon's Operation overrides a Doctor's heal.

Bodyguard - If a Bodyguard and a Surgeon visit the same target at night, they will not interact.

'''Blackmailer - A Muted and Blackmailed target will not be able to say "I am blackmailed." while on the stand.'''

Strategy (stuff i realised):

A Blinded and BM'd target is extremely unfortunate as Blinded prevents voting, which is the default way of claiming to be BM'd

The meta can develop in a way to counter Blinded, for example if someone claims blinded the rest of the town begins chatting by prefixing their message with their name/number.
