Name: Scarecrow

Alignment: Town (Protective)

Game Information/Background: (this is the first time I've done one so bear with me)

As a young boy, the Scarecrow was indoctrinated into the Mafia. He was told to be a Disguiser, every night the Consort would help him with his costumes, and he would hear investigators finding information about him that would not be true. To tell the truth, he enjoyed it greatly. The Consort was sweet and kind, giving him advice and helping him when things got rough. The Mafioso was tough and honest, giving him tips on what to say and when to say it and telling him what to do and when to do it. It was like an older sister and brother helping him out on every turn. However, things were not perfect. The man who ran the Mafia was frightening, terrifying, every day he would scare the boy into shape. If the boy did not perform his duties, he would be beaten until he got it right. Soon, the Godfather wasn't just the leader of the mafia. He was the nightmares of the young boy. The consort would have to comfort him, and the Mafioso would stand up for the boy if things got too bad. That's when it happened. During the day, the Sheriff revealed the Mafioso to be a member of the Mafia. The Scarecrow remembered it clearly. Town members rushing to vote, eagerly awaiting the results of the lynching. The gagging sounds he made. The vicious coughing and the wheezing, the plea for help. It haunted the boy for nights on end. The boy no longer was scared of the Godfather. He was scared of death. The fun he had at the beginning, it was not the same as it was before. The Consort acted like nothing had happened, and dismissed it when the boy would mention it. The Godfather threated that it would happen to the boy if he did not act correctly. Then the Arsonist let the Town burn. The boy watched, as houses burned to the ground, as people lay on the floor, scorched to the skeleton. Including the Godfather. This time the boy did not have time to grieve. The town moaned and agonized over the fallen members. They vowed to kill the Arsonist if it was the last thing they did. The night began, and the Consort looked at the boy. He knew what she was going to ask, but he could not. How could a boy like him kill a man? It was inhuman, vile, evil. He could not. So she did. She grabbed the gun and ran out the door, and the next door the Sheriff lay dead on the concrete. The former Consort defiantly stood high and accused the Arsonist of being Mafia. The boy didn't understand at the time why she had to do this, but now the Scarecrow understood. The Town and Mafia both voted the Arsonist, and soon enough he was dead. That night the Mafioso smiled and laughed. She was so satisfied with herself, even teaching the boy how to use the Godfathers gun. That night there was a loud knocking on the door. The boy hid. The Mafioso opened the door with a boozed grin. That's when the Vigilante pointed his gun right to her face and shot her. The vigilante took a quick look around and exited the building. The boy crawled out of his hiding spot and stared at the only reason he joined the Mafia. The girl he loved was dead on the ground. He started to weep. The sun rose and the day began. There were only three members remaining in the Town, the boy, the Vigilante, and the Medium. The Vigilante looked between the two with a look of confusion, the boy knew he was deciding who the last mafia member was. That's when the boy knew he was fighting for his life. He glared at the Vigilante with bloodcurdling eyes. The Vigilante took a step back in fear. The man put on a mask that he used to wear as a Disguiser and stared at the Vigilante.

"Vote,"

The Vigilante quickly nodded, and the Medium was on the stand. The Medium tried to argue but the Vigilante just followed the man's orders. The Medium started to choke, and before he did, he told the Vigilante to kill the man. The Vigilante nodded and glared at the man as the sun lowered. The Scarecrow shrieked a vile pitch, and the Vigilante dropped his gun in shock. The Scarecrow accessed all the fear he had felt during the last week. The Mafioso's lynch the Godfather's incineration, the Consort's death. The Scarecrow took out the gun and shot the Vigilante with no hesitation. He took a breath and shot the body many more times. The Scarecrow vowed to never kill again or to be involved in any evil. He instead wanted to use fear for good. Fear had controlled his life, but now he controlled it.
