Alignment:  sure

Game Information/Background: You are an evil spirit who wants his end of the deal. not very detailed but ok

Attack: None yep

Defense: Basic ok

Unique Role: No ok

Priority: Idk but I guess it's pretty high lol we'll see

Abilities: Empower someone every night. wot

Attributes:

-Your target is.

-Your empowered target will receive a message saying they were empowered.

-You cannot empower your target.

-If your target dies by any means other than a soul empowerment you will become a. like exe ok

Mechanics: Empower a target each night. The empowered target will have their ability replaced with a basic attack for that night.

For example, Person A is the devil, and he empowers Person B. Person B visits Person C. Person B's ability will become a basic attack and will kill Person C if he is not immune. whoa neutral evil technically shouldn't be able to kill (right?) maybe neutral chaos would make more sense

Roles that will not be affected by empowerment:

-Any role that already has basic attack or higher (for example, , , any ) ok

-Any role that does not visit (for example, ) yeah

- (they also don't visit anyways). If you try to empower a  the night he alerts, you will die to him and he will not be empowered. yep

-/ and  sure

- I mean, jailor isn't a visiting role

You will not receive a message if your empowerment succeeds or fails. ok

Your target's role can be from any faction but it cannot be a role with Basic defense or higher. why not?

If you manage to get your target killed by a soul empowerment, you will lose your empowerment ability, but keep your Basic defence. so you want to keep your target from dying because of you, what if another devil makes them die?

Messages:

When selecting a target - You have decided to empower  tonight. (Devil receives)

When deselecting - You have changed your mind. (Devil receives)

When target gets empowered - You feel a surge of power flowing through your body. Your soul has been empowered by the Devil! (target receives)

When target cannot be empowered - A Devil tried to empower you but you are immune! (target receives)

When someone is killed by an empowered soul - You were attacked by an empowered soul! (target receives)

When target is jailed - A Devil tried to empower you but you were jailed! (target receives)

Death message at the start of the day - He was killed by the Devil's empowered soul.

-Investigative Results-


 * Your target could be a, , /, or Devil! ok


 * Your target is not suspicious.ok

/: Your target empowers souls to get his end of the deal. They must be a Devil! ok

Goal: Get your target killed by an empowerment at all costs. '''oh you want them to die... interesting but this would be easy if your target is certain roles (like jailor or mayor, TP will go on them a lot and LO, but it's the same for exe so ok)'''

Wins with: Anyone (after getting target killed by empowerment) ok

Must Kill: target (via empowerment) ok

Anything else: I feel that this role might be OP (in the sense that it kills beyond its own control) or UP (that it cannot actually accurately predict who will visit its target). This is my first role suggestion so perhaps some constructive critisism? '''this actually isn't a bad idea, but it can add another kill per night, so maybe your target only attacks if the person they visited was their target? Also what message will the person who died get? "You were killed by someone who was empowered" and how will everyone see how they died? '''

Lore:

The Devil sat down, cross legged in his chair. Across the old wooden table sat the Sheriff, his face pale with anguish.

"And what have you come here for today?" asked the Devil, his face covered by the shadows of the night.

"I've found a member of the Mafia! He - he's the blonde guy 3 blocks from here!" replied the anxious Sheriff, with heavy panting between his words. "I have to get rid of him before it's too late!"

The Devil rocked his chair, reaching under the desk and pulling out a portrait of a man. From the darkness, he calmly replied, "The blonde guy. He sold his soul to me a week ago in exchange for immunity from the town's Serial Killer. Haven't seen the coward's face since then. Still has his little terrified soul within him."

He leaned forward, placing his hands on the table.

"So, let's say I give you a little juice?"

A bright ball of magic started to form within the Devil's fingers, and soon it was a glowing beauty. He hurled it at the Sheriff, and after a few moans, the Sheriff regained his footing.

"I... I feel more powerful now!" cried the Sheriff.

"So, you visit him tonight. Do the dirty deed for me. That's my end of the deal." explained the Devil. "Get rid of him. That's all you have to do."

As the sun rose, the citizens of Salem walked out from their houses, to the square where the dead would be announced. A crooked smile formed on the Devil's face as he watched the Investigator pull out the corpse of a blonde man from the house three blocks away from his.

No one dared to mess with the Devil after that.

'''nice story, it explains what the Devil does with a plot. I like it!'''

'''Very good first role idea! '''

'''​​​​​​​Have you considered making an account? you seem nice''' Thanks for the reply! :D

1. I was contemplating between Neutral Evil and Neutral Chaos :)

2. I tried to make an account, but for some reason whenever I try to make an account it tells me that it can't complete registration at the moment. Tried thrice, waited a day and tried again, didn't work :/

3. The reason why the target can't be someone with basic defence is because if he has basic defence it's impossible for him to be killed by an empowerment (as it only provides a basic attack), thus making it impossible for the Devil to win if he has a target with basic defence or higher

4. If multiple devils have the same target, they all win if that target is killed by an empowerment by one of them who has that target. Neglecting point 5, if another devil that does not have the same target as you kills your target via his empowerment you will not win though, instead it will be counted that your target died to other means and you'll become a Jester.

5. I guess for a non-unique neutral role that isn't a Neutral Killing role it should only kill when the person that was empowered visited the target that night (the message would go something like: An empowered soul tried to attack you but the Devil recalled them!​​​​​​​, or maybe perhaps if the empowered person did not visit the Devil's target at all then he will just perform his normal ability, and the empowered person will receive "The Devil empowered you but you did not visit his target!" behind the "You feel a surge of power flowing through your body" message.

6. Oh yeah I forgot, when you successfully kill your target by empowerment the message "You have successfully killed your target!" will appear after the deaths are announced the next morning; if your target dies from other means it will say "Your target has died. You have become a Jester!"
