Alignment: Mafia Support after reading, maybe mafia deception?

Lore: As the brother of an expert Spy of town, the Hacker also excels in stealing informations. One day his brother was put on trial and got mislynched by the town. From that day on he swore to take vengeance on every town member. Throughout the years, he studied hacking day and night. With both his ability to steal confidential data and his newfound skills, he moved back to town and got recruited by the mafia. The Hacker vowed to take revenge on every town member that pushed his brother to death. was never good at writing stories so okay

Attack: No

Defense: No

Unique Role: Yes

Priority:  this should be 3 since hacker doesnt have control immunity or rb immunity

Abilities:

[Day] (Hacking chat system) Whispers to other mafia does not show up. Other mafia whispering hacker does not show up. interesting idea

[Night] (Hacking announcer system) Changes target’s ‘killed by’ and ‘death note’. Take effect after 1 night. (One use)''' i feel like the day ability is mafia support while the night ability is mafia deception, which makes the role complex. '''

Attributes: Promote to mafioso if there are no more Mafia Killing. ok

Mechanics:

1. During the day, Hacker can whisper other mafia without [Player Name] is whispering to [Player Name] popping up or vice versa. Whispers to and from other factions still show up normally. Other mafia whispering to each other still show up normally. '''i find it hard to imagine a hacker properly coordinating a push/ lynch by whispering every mafia individually. i have a bold suggestion which is perhaps enable mafia day chat with a new command such as /wm (whisper mafia), but that might make the role overpowered.'''

2. During the night, Hacker can choose a target to alter their death form('killed by' and 'death note') by installing a malware on everyone else’s screen (No Visits). The alteration will take effect after a night and will last until the target dies. i feel '''the usage of the night ability is very limited. even if it is balanced, this is too high risk/high reward to be fun to play with/as/against'''

-Investigative Results-

Sheriff: Your target is suspicious. ok

Investigator: Spy, Blackmailer, Hacker, Jailor ok

Consigliere/Witch: Your target steals data and uses them to manipulate people. They must be a Hacker. could be better but okay

Goal: Kill anyone who will not submit to the Mafia. ok

Wins With: Mafia, Witch. [classic ranked only] ok

Must Kill: Town, Arsonist, Serial Killer, Werewolf. [classic ranked only] ok

Anything Else: All dying method will show up when altering ‘killed by’, including mafia kill, jailor execute, veteran shot, jester guilt, and all Neutral Killing. '''does this bypass a spy bug? '''

'''closing thoughts: in my opinion, the day and night abilities slightly contradict each other in terms of alignment which makes it hard to classify, and some examples of hack interactions could be listed to better explain the ability. overall 7/10'''
