Name: Victim(Accepting Name Suggestions)

Alignment: Mafia (Support)

Game Information/Background: You used to be a townie but work for the mafia because you owe them something.

Attack: None

Defense: None

Unique Role: Yes(Because of possible confusion if there is more than 1)

Priority: Idk for Now

Abilities: None Not great

Attributes: You will receive a message saying: The  has ordered you to Take Notes/be a Meat Shield. ok?

Mechanics: (How It Works):

You do NOT get to pick what you do. ''' Not that great, takes away playability from the game. If I get this, will I just be sitting there bored, tempted to leave?'''

You have last priority of becoming Mafioso.

At night, the highest ranked Mafia can pick whether to make you a meat shield or a note taker(Godfather being the highest rank, Mafioso second and the rest last). hmmm

If you are chosen to be a Meat shield, you will provide powerful defence for a Mafia member where they go. You will not protect them however, from an attack targeted agains themselves. E.g. If a mafia membergets attacked by a Bodyguard or a Crusader, you will take the hit. But if a Vigilante shoots them, you will not take the hit for them(Bodyguard still dies to Mafioso attack). ''' This is useless, it just gives a single, replaceable mafia member a one-time survival around TP/Vet. It wouldn't even kill the target'''

If you are chosen to take notes, you will follow a Mafia member and jot down clues to the target's identity. You will have the same investigative result as an investigator.  Weaker consig

The Highest ranked Mafia can decide whether to kill you at night. If they do so, He/She will not be able to kill anyone else if so. Why would this be useful

Nothing will happen if you are controlled

-Investigative Results-

Sheriff: Your Target is a Member of the Mafia!

Investigator: Your target could be a Sheriff, Werewolf, Victim, Executioner or Poisoner

Consigliere/Witch: Your target is being Victimised. He/She must be a Victim

Goal: Kill all who oppose the Mafia

Wins With: Mafia, Pirate, GA, Surv, Exe, Jest

Must Kill: Town, Coven, Vampires, Other Neutrals

Anything Else: Can be spared This is a very useless role

For starters, it only saves the mafia killing from TP/Vet/Medusa, at the price of losing a mafia member anyway

Its second ability is also bad, it would be better to just get a consig

Finally, you would not enjoy playing this role, because you don't do much, and for some reason you, can randomly be killed by the mafia
