Attack: None    Defence: None I assume if you got a TK role your attack would change?

Abilities: Disguise as a town member. '''Do you mean at the start of the game you are randomly assigned a role's abilities, or you select a target to become their role? '''

Attributes: Your Former role was. You get to perform all of the same abilities your former role has (ex. if your former role as sheriff, you get to interrogate people each night). With this, I assume your role's abilities is randomly decided at the beginning of the game.

Investigation Results:

Investigator: Doctor, Disguiser, Former Town, or Serial Killer.

Sheriff: Your target is the member of the mafia!

Consigliere/Witch//: Your target used to be town. They must be a Former Town!

Mechanics: While your former role can still perform the same abilities, there are some flaws that can expose your role. If you are a Vigilante, you have an infinite amount of bullets, and you won't commit suicide. While you are Mayor, there can be another mayor in-game that reveals the day you reveal. If you are Jailor you have an infinite amount of executions. If you are a doctor you can heal yourself 3 times instead of 2. If you are Veteran you get infinite... you get the idea.

Questions:

1. If you killed someone, would it show up as your Former  role or as a "Former Town"?

'''2. Would an existing be be forced to reveal along with yourself if you were to reveal? Vice versa, could a force you to reveal when they reveal?'''

Major Issues:

​​​​​1. If you shot a role as a, and you didn't commit suicide, the  would realize there is a confirmed Former Town role in the. This seems a bit broken.

2. Having an infinite number of executions as a would be absolutely broken assuming that you could keep executing after killing a  role. Also, it could cause a paradox if another jailed you the night you jailed them.

3. Having infinite alerts as a former would practically make you invincible to most roles at night, and kill any roles that visit you.

4. There are a lot of other ways a Former Town could be confirmed, which include mechanics of roles and the fact that you have infinite abilities. Y'know, the roles of  and  have limited uses, and they are quite balanced.

​​​You can get unique town roles as your former role. This could create some broken gameplay.

Summary: You used to be a former town that now works for the mafia. This role is broken in many ways, and is far too OP of a role.

Pros: Interesting concept.

Cons: Concept in need of major tweaking, due to the role being totally broken.

Final Rating: 2/10!

'''​​​​​​​This role is also pretty much a rehash of all of the roles there are, so this role simply doesn't work. Sorry!'''
