'''​Welp. I'm here *cracks bones* Another role. Another rating. Welp, time to start''' Name: Politician (Unique)

 Alignment: Neutral Evil

 Description: A corrupt public servant that uses his charisma to gain power.

 ​NO GOD PLEASE NO! NO!

 Goal: Live to see the Town lose!

 Can win with: Mafia, Neutral Killers, Neutral Benign, Neutral Evil, Vampires

 Abilities: Every night can choose a target to 'sway' to your side.

'''​NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! *jumps off bridge* *bounces off trampoline* T-T'''

 Doing this will cause your target to vote with whoever you choose and whether or not they vote ‘guilty’ or ‘innocent’ or not all depends on your choice. Your target will know they have been swayed, but not who swayed them. You can only sway up to three targets at a time.

'''​GOD NO! Not day controller. We already have enough problems, man.'''

 If a Town Protective has been swayed they, for that night alone, will protect you from harm if someone tries to kill you.

'''​Nope. Hardcounters BG and doc. And if this role plays it's cards right, it can somehow be a information gaining role.'''

 If you try to sway a Veteran on alert you will still die. Targets that can not be swayed is the Mayor. Every Neutral Killing, who will then proceed to kill/ignite/maim (if on a full moon) the Politician. If the Politician is investigated by a Sheriff they will come up as a member of the mafia.

 ​WHAT?

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Lore:

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> “This makes it what...the third murder of the week?” muttered a disgruntled citizen, remembering how they found the body of the previous Sheriff. Shot dead in his own home the citizen continued on. After how he single-handedly exposed a custodian for his allegiance to the crime syndicate was it any wonder that he would be the next on their hit list? That’s not to mention the victims of the Serial Killer, rumors of people waking up in places that never went to, and mutterings of supernatural occurrences. All of which hiding under the cover of the night...and the Mayor not being around to do anything about it.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> The Politician nodded his head and appeared to be hearing what the concerned and frustrated citizen of Salem had to say before giving his thoughts on the matter and how, if he had his way, he would make sure the streets of Salem are once again safe and that every single evildoer who dares interrupt that be sent to an early grave for their foolhardy mistakes. The speech enraptured the citizen and as the two parted ways the Politician was given a word of confidence that whatever happens the townie now has their full support.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> ‘Idiot…..’ the Politician gave a dark smirk and shook his head at how a person can be so trustworthy to someone he hardly knew? Then again...that was kind of a good thing. The Politician’s history was filled with both questionable decisions and alliances that would raise more than a few eyebrows. Much so that, prior to his untimely demise, that the Sheriff had accused him of being affiliated Mafia!

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Well, technically speaking, he was half-right. If he had the chance he wouldn’t mind striking a deal or two with leader of the underworld, or perhaps those independent mindless killers or even those who loved to fill the town with anarchy. It didn’t matter as long as he receives what he desires ever since day one of his campaign: Power. Something that fool of a Mayor would never understand nor how to use! All the power in the country….and he chooses to hide!? What was even more of a slap in the face was the fact the Mayor had been his mentor when he was first starting out. Promises of reform and a crackdown on lawbreakers! How excited the crowd had been when he was elected…...and how disappointed were a few months later the Mayor went into hiding.

The Politcian gave a bitter frown as the memory faded from his mind. He had learned two things that day. One, that practically anyone could be swayed to going with you if you played their emotions the right way. The other lesson? That whatever happens...all that matters is that you reach the top. Regardless of the cost. And too much problems. It is sort of a Neutral invest if you think about it. It hardcounters Doc and jailor. Last AND least, it is day controller.

This role has been ​WHIPPED!
