Alrighty! I have come to answer some confusions that people had!

Roro: Thanks again! I'll keep fiddling with that and try to come up with something.

Raven: It doesn't rely on another role, not sure where that's coming from. The werewolf thing: I was actually talking about how the animal trainer's target would be protected from werewolf attacks. The animal trainer themselves being protected is another thing entirely. I'd appreciate if you could give me a situation in which this role would be overpowered so I could make according adjustments. Just straight up telling me it wouldn't work isn't helpful. Thank you!

UnrealName: You're right, I think I'm honestly going to ditch the 'reverse escort' thing. I'd still like for the animal to somehow deflect the targeting of other people, especially TIs though.

RubikJohn: Honestly, the species being vague was the best I could do to avoid people getting all bothered at the idea of an animal being in the game and possibly killing/being killed. I don't really like either of them as an effect to or by the animal, so I hope that wouldn't be a feature that would shut down the role entirely. To be honest, I'm picturing some kind of guard dog that would like, shoo away any visitors, you know? Like in the short story I wrote. As to your confusion, let's see if I can explain better:

AT places animal at 4's house. No one visits 4 the night the animal is placed. The next night, someone visits but is deflected by the animal. If someone visited the animal the same night it was placed, they would have been deflected and the animal would have left afterwards.

The jailor isn't affected by this because only people who visit them like, at the end of the night (Escort, sheriff, investigator, lookout, animal trainer lol, sk, consort, consig, arsonist) that whole crowd. The pirate's duelling would still work and the jailor's jailing would work.

And as for the whole 'AT is revealed!' I think that could help, y'know, give werewolf something useful to put in their death note ;). That would be a danger for the animal trainer; while they might not die to werewolf, they would still be revealed to the town.

ImKurama: Ehm, thanks. Any... concrit?
