Alignment: Neutral Chaos

Attack: None (Technically, see below)

Defense: Depends (see below)

Unique Role: Yes

Abilities: The role has two phases:

Phase one - At night plant part of yourself into someone each night, the planted person will be unware (similar to dousing). You cannot kill during this phase and you have no defence.

Phase two - At any time you can select yourself at night, when you do this you will move to phase two and gain basic defence. Anyone who you planted yourself in will become a drone. Drones have a basic attack and no defence and at night you decide who they attack (They don't all attack different people, this is explained below). If all your drones die then you die. If you die then your drones will be returned to their original role.

Attributes: Sheriff immune (while in phase one)

Mechanics: Phase one works basically the same as arso with dousing. With phase two you cannot talk to your drones at night you can just tell them what to do, the drones will also not know how many fellow drones there are or who the queen is (to prevent game throwing).

The drones attack the same target in a swarm which works as follows - The first drone will attack the person you chose, the remaining drones will attack other people that visit (one drone = one person attacked).

If the person you send your drones has a defence value then extra drones will add up their attack values to deal a more powerful attack.

For example - Lets say you have three drones and you attack an serial killer who is being visited by a lookout. The first two drones will add their attacks and kill the serial killer and the remaining drone will attack the lookout.

If the person you send your drones to attack is guarded by a bodyguard then the bodyguard will be attacked first and then the person being guarded.

-Investigative Results- Sheriff:

Phase one: Not suspicious

Phase two: Your target is part of a hive mind.

Investigator:

Phase one: Doctor, Disguiser, Serial Killer, Potion Master, hive queen.

Phase two: Your target is the queen of the hive!

Consigliere/Witch: Your target's purpose is to enslave the town, they must be a Hive Queen

Goal: Kill all who would oppose you

Wins With: The normal for NCs

Must Kill: The normal for NCs

Anything Else: The drones always have the same investigator results however they will appear to the sheriff: "Your target is part of a hive mind."

This role in a way breaks the faction rule but I still think it could be a good idea, please do post suggestions below. Buffed arso. What if you're in a 2v1v1 situation and you convert everybody into your drones? This can be played as an incredibly buffed arso.
