Alignment: Neutral Chaos

'''May be a problem for alignment, though some other stuff goes in. Considering this is NC, what I might see may be game changing'''

Ability: The Babadook haunts anyone who learns his identity. This happens one of three ways:

1. If any role with investigative capability visits the Babadook and receives his results, then they are haunted.

Isn't this a hardcounter to Sheriff, Invest, and Consig, and a bit more?

2. The Babadook can send his poem book to someone. If that person stays home with the book in their possesion for any reason, IE being role-blocked or transported with your target, then they will read the book. Reading the book will cause the Babadook to haunt you. If you visit someone and you haven't read the book, you will pass the book to them. You will not know if you have received the book, but you will know when you have read it.

'''What in the what? So if your target stays home, they die? This is pretty much a hardcounter to all those roll that stay home *ahem* Psychic'''

3. Once you have discovered the existence of the Babadook, you are permanently blackmailed unless you choose someone at day to whisper the knowledge of the Babadook too. Doing this will mean that they have learnt of the Babadook. You will still be haunted, but you will no longer be perma blackmailed.

'''I'd say too much on the OP side, though it does hide the babadook's identity. It's gonna sting for a mayor because if they revealed, the town depends on them to carry.'''

Mechanics: Each night, the Babadook can give the book to someone new, which will remove the book from wherever it is currently. Alternately, he can frighten any of his haunted victims. If someone reads the book, it is returned to the Babadook and he may use it again. The Babadook's goal is to frighten at least four of his victims twice. The Babadook can frighten a victim once, which role-blocks them, and if he frightens them a second time they kill themself.

1. Might take some time to implement

2. That would take a lot of nights to frighten and kill.

If the Babadook dies, he can still frighten people and work towards attaining his goal, but it is not possible for anyone new to be haunted.

Attributes:

-The Babadook is unique.

'''Good. I can't imagine the chaos more of dem would cause.'''

-The Babadook has basic defense.

This is kinda debateable, but then again, if a Consig existed, he would be like "attack this guy. He's the babadook."

GAME OVER YEAH!

-The Babadook is role-block immune.

Investigative results:

Sheriff: Your target is the Babadook! Now that you know who they are, they will haunt you till your dying day.

Investigator: Your target is the Babadook! Now that you know who they are, they will haunt you till your dying day.

Consigliere: Your target is the Babadook! Now that you know who they are, they will haunt you till your dying day.

Goal: Frighten 4 people to death

Lotta people. Some tough concepts here and there. Not a bad role, but some things could use work. Though a lot could be done

This role has been Slammed
