Library of Atypical Factions [108/1000 roles]

[TemporalLich]

The First Atypical Townie

(

Town

/ The First Atypical)

You managed to roll post zero. Enjoy having the introductory post in your Role PM. You are a named Townie. You have no special abilities.



Welcome to the Library of Atypical Factions thread. This is a role list quite like Grand Idea Mafia and the Deck of Astral Roles. Unlike those two threads, standard factions other than

Town

will not be allowed, as defined below.

Town

is needed for a game to function properly, so it will be allowed.

The Library of Atypical Factions game is a custom Grandest Idea Mafia (Greatest Idea Mafia rules, but with a Grand Idea Mafia esque deck) with only non-standard groupscum and third parties. There will be 1000 roles in this thread. This can be used with the Deck of Astral Roles for an Astral Multiverse game.

Examples of non-standard factions:

Apparitions

,

Pirates

,

Dark Creatures

,

Sunshine Club

,

Starkin

,

Specters

,

Astral Creatures

,

Burst Mafia

,

Escapists

,

Swamp Muck

,

Celestial Angels

, and

Arcane Observers

.

Standard factions that are not allowed:

Groupscum with just informedness and a PT, no factional abilities (

Nightless Mafia

)
Groupscum with only a factional kill (

Mafia

and

Werewolf

)
Groupscum with only a X-shot factional kill (

Alien

)
Groupscum with only a X-shot factional kill and a random factional invention (

Deck of Astral Roles Alien

)
Groupscum with only a recruitment mechanic (

Cult

)
Third-party scum with only a factional kill (

Serial Killer

)
Third-party that needs to survive to win (

Survivor

)
Third-party that needs to be eliminated to win (

Jester

)
Third-party that needs to die in any way other than elimination to win (

Unjester

)
Third-party that needs a target eliminated to win (

Condemner

)
Third-party that needs a target to not be eliminated to win (

Savior

)

I am willing to relax this.

Ideally you should list the alignment / role split in your posts. This is being used for a game where the alignment / role split is vital.

I ideally want a

Town

majority (at least 501 townies) in this deck to avoid problems with having a

Town

majority in LoAF games. There are currently 41 to my knowledge.

I recommend having no more than 40 alignment changing roles. There are currently 5 to my knowledge.

Nowt Ten Percenter

(Nowt / Ten Percenter)
The Nowt (#FF40FF) is a team with the exact same win condition as Town, however, the Town and Nowt cannot coexist. One must die for the other to win.

Ten Percenter: You are granted access to an X-multishot ability on Night 1 to recruit people to your team. X is equal to ten percent of the player count.

Please include definitions of all atypical factions as they're introduced. This'd greatly help

[TemporalLich]

Town Scumfinder

(

Town

/ Scumfinder)

Scumfinder: You may investigate a player each night.

You get an

Innocent

result if your target can win while the Town wins. You get a

Guilty

result if this isn't the case.

Town, Survivor, Jester, Unjester, and Condemner are examples of Innocent results.
Groupscum (e.g. Mafia), Cult, and Serial Killer are examples of Guilty results.

Mod Note: Was Nowt Unorthoscumfinder (gets inno if Nowt-compatible and Guilty if not), refactored in an effort to ensure Town majority.

yes, please do so so we know what the factions do.

Dark Creature Deep Shadowhydra

(

Dark Creature

/ Deep Shadowhydra)

Dark Creature: You are a

Dark Creature

.

Dark Creatures

are a scum team with a factional "Plunge in Darkness" ability to roleblock someone that Night and also cause them to die the next Night.

Deep Shadowhydra: You are in a Private Topic with a player outside the game (mod's discretion). Each night, you may target a message in the PT to have the moderator quote the targeted message in the game thread (the player outside the game will know you have this ability).

Alignment ratio TBD, but I'm thinking 250

Town

, 250

Nowt

, 100

Non-Standard Groupscum

, 50

Non-Standard Third-parites

, and 350

Free Spaces

Astral Creature

(Astral Creature/Vanilla)

Alignment:Astral Creature
The following abilities are unlocked for your faction permanently if these conditions are met.
If there are more than 4 Astral Creatures alive the requirements for the other conditions are reduced by 1(which is bad for your faction, not good)
If there are 3 or less Astral Creatures alive your faction gains a PT.
If there are 3 or less Astral Creatures alive your faction gains a factional Roleblock(at night)
If there are 2 or less Astral Creature alive the target of your factional Roleblock is nightkilled(This is not a combined ability).
You win when all threats to the Astral Creatures are dead and at least one Astral Creature is alive. Town and Astral Creatures are not threats to each other.
Role:Vanilla

[Not Known 15]

Conspirator Mask

Conspirator

(Conspirator/Conspirator Mask)
Alignment:Conspirator
You have a factional action. It has the effects of a Voyeur on odd nights and the effects of a nightkill on even nights.
You have another day factional action you may use the same cycle. It adds Conspirators or people masquerading as Conspirators to the factional PT. It takes effect at the end of the day. This is a targeted action. If your target is not of the faction they had at the beginning of the game both the acting Conspirator and the target will die instead.
At the start of the game, up to 3 Conspirators get a factional PT as follows:
Give the first and second Conspirator access to the factional PT.
The third Conspirator does not get access to the factional PT. A town-aligned person(randomly chosen) masquerades themselves as conspirator if no other role would masquerade as Conspirator.
The fourth Conspirator gets access to the factional PT if there are exactly four Conspirators. Otherwise, not.
The rest of the conspirators does not get access to the factional PT.
The people having access to the factional PT are the leaders of the faction and control the factional action by vote.
They are also informed about the identity of other conspirators and all people masquerading as conspirators, but only by getting their names in a single list(so they do not know who is a real conspirator and who is not)
Warning:Your factional action can be used by people masquerading themselves as Conspirators!

Win Condition:You win when all threats to the conspirators are eliminated and at least one Conspirator survives.

Role:Conspirator Mask
If you are a conspirator you cannot gain access to the factional PT at the beginning of the game.
You appear in the Conspirator list in the Conspirator PT and might gain access to the Conspirator PT.

Hydra Vanilla

(Hydra Alignment / Vanilla Role)

Spoiler:

A Hydra is an independent alignment capable of growing multiple heads by targeting players and consuming them into the Hydra's main body, absorbing not only the players themselves, but also their roles and win conditions.

Essentially, a Hydra aligned player starts off under a Hydra account by himself and every time they consume a target, the slot vanishes and shares the Hydra account with the main player. The targets also bring with them the roles (can multitask) and win conditions to the hydra body. Hydra may end up with multiple win conditions to pick from.

The Hydra wins when they fulfill one of those win conditions.

Only the main head of the Hydra will show in the player list and they share 1 vote total.

If the Hydra is killed, all heads die, losing the game.

Factional Action: Every night, you may target a player to consume them regardless of alignment and role. This action counts as a visit and can be detected, it however cannot be role blocked.

[Guillotina]

Specter Thanatos

(Specter alignment / Thanatos role)

The Specters are a groupscum faction that starts off with 1 or 2 players (similar to the cult leader) and are dead. Yes! They start off in the graveyard where they must remain until they have collected the souls of 1/4 minus 1 of the total players to win the game. In example, if the game started with 21 players, then 4 souls must be collected to win.

The Specters have a factional “Sleep Paralysis” action that they can target a player that is alive with. Players under sleep paralysis cannot perform any night actions, they cannot communicate in PTs that night and they are informed of what types actions they are targeted by (excluding those from specters). If a player is killed while under “Sleep Paralysis, their soul is collected by the Specter faction, joining them in the graveyard.

During the day you have the factional vote action. You can select a player to have an extra vote for that day. This vote is not announced that is coming from your faction.

Specters can never perform kill actions.

If a Specter is targeted by a player with an ability to interact with the dead or are resurrectedby living players, the entire faction loses the game.

Thanatos

: Every night, you may target a player that is still alive to redirect their action to the player under sleep paralysis.

[Not Known 15]

Town Hydra Slayer

(Town/Hydra Slayer)
Alignment:Town
Role:Hydra Slayer
You may target one person at night. If it is a Hydra, the Hydra loses all abilities, is roleblocked, and then you and the Hydra unavoidably die.

(Astral Creature/Hydra Vigilante)

Alignment:Astral Creature
The following abilities are unlocked for your faction permanently if these conditions are met.
If there are more than 4 Astral Creatures alive the requirements for the other conditions are reduced by 1(which is bad for your faction, not good)
If there are 3 or less Astral Creatures alive your faction gains a PT.
If there are 3 or less Astral Creatures alive your faction gains a factional Roleblock(at night)
If there are 2 or less Astral Creature alive the target of your factional Roleblock is nightkilled(This is not a combined ability).
You win when all threats to the Astral Creatures are dead and at least one Astral Creature is alive. Town and Astral Creatures are not threats to each other.
Role:At night, target a player. If that player has the alignment Hydra you will kill them.

[TemporalLich]

How about Fulfillers?

Fulfillers are non-standard 3Ps, so yes.

[Guillotina]

Radio Host

(Fulfiller alignment / Radio Host Role)

Fulfiller is an independent alignment whose win condition is tied to fulfilling a mission. If such mission is not fulfilled for whatever reason, they lose. If fulfillers rand vanilla the mod may assign them another alignment (or a Fulfiller attached to a role with no special Fulfiller mission gets a mission from the moderator).

If you rand this role everyone (except you) starts the game vanillaized. The mod will announce that everyone has been vanillalized.

You have the power to enable a role type during the day phases for the rest of the game (by posting one of the youtube songs from the list bellow), activating roles that were randed to the other players during pregame.

https://youtu.be/UCbRmkoR_ZA (Post this song during the day to enable conversion roles)

https://youtu.be/UjpbQ1OWMPE (Post this song during the day to enable investigation roles)

https://youtu.be/yup0jjWvR-k (Post this song during the day to enable protection roles)

https://youtu.be/jBXKr3SireQ (Post this song during the day to enable killing roles)

https://youtu.be/RUpDslHSLbU (Post this song to enable multipower roles)

https://youtu.be/Vw6uezSnDX8 (Post this song to enable manipulation and redirection roles)

https://youtu.be/e4Ao-iNPPUc (Post this song to enable Communication roles)

https://youtu.be/aNnPThDwc6k (Post this song to enable resurrection and roles that interact with the dead)


You win when you have successfully enabled four types of roles, leaving the game. You may choose to stay in the game after fulfilling your win condition to enable more role types at the risk of getting killed and losing the game instead. The songs may not be changed by the host or the player. You may only enable one type of role per cycle.

[Not Known 15]

Alignment Determinator

(Alignment Determinator/Vanilla)
Faction:Third party-Alignment Determinator: At night you may choose a player and an alignment. If that alignment is correct, you get a point. If it is incorrect, you get a strike. Your factional action isn't targeted(cannot be redirected) and cannot be prevented. It resolves before kills. This action can be used whilst dead. If you are alive the points you get are doubled. You cannot choose the same alignment for the same player more than once. If the member of an alignment you guessed kills you you lose one point and gain one strike.
If you are executed(by town vote) you lose two points and gain two strikes.

You cannot join the Dead PT.


You win and leave the game if you have six points at the end of the day, or at endgame.
You lose and leave the game if you get three strikes.

Role:Vanilla

Alignment ratio TBD, but I'm thinking 250 Town, 250 Nowt, 100 Non-Standard Groupscum, 50 Non-Standard Third-parites, and 350 Free Spaces.

Do Free Spaces allow us to put in "crazy stuff", e.g. re-rolls, that does not introduce standard factions other than Town?

Darkblight Mod Chooses After Picks

(

Mod Chooses After Picks

/ Darkblight)

Darkblight: All roles that care about your alignment treat you as if you were a

Dark Creature

.

Once in the game during the night, you have a personal "Plunge in Darkness" ability to roleblock someone that Night and also cause them to die the next Night. Using this ability will make your faction unable to use factional abilities that Night.

Do Free Spaces allow us to put in "crazy stuff", e.g. re-rolls, that does not introduce standard factions other than Town?

They indeed do!

Heck, you're even allowed Mod Discretions!

Assassin

Commuter (

Assassin

Alignment / Commuter Role)

On Night 0 or if a player becomes an Assassin through any means other than being Marked for Death, the Assassin chooses a player. That player becomes Marked For Death. If the total number of players who are assassins or marked for death is fewer than three, the marked player then chooses another player to become Marked for Death. If there are three or more total players who are either Marked for Death or Assassins, the marked player is assigned a random assassin or Marked for Death player as their chosen player, and is informed of their identity.

At the beginning of every Night after the pregame, all marked for death players become assassins if there is a living Assassin in the game, losing all other win conditions.

An assassin wins if their chosen player is eliminated or killed. An assassin loses and exits the game if their target exits the game for any other reason.

Commuter is a standard role, go to the damn wiki.

You should definitely use that text for commuter's abilities if this role is rolled by a moderator.

Edited for clarity and to limit the number of assassins in a given game.

Edited again to delay the alignment change to N1.

That One Slot That Keeps Replacing (Replacing / Vanilla)

Every VOICE OF MOD: , the mod will announce that your slot is in need of replacement. Instead of being replaced, you will lose the ability to post in the game thread and the mod will search out a player to join your slot. You will be able to privately communicate with all other occupants of your slot in this thread: [link]. You may not publicly discuss your impending replacement, as that is against the rules. You win if you are eliminated at any point while the mod is searching for a replacement for your slot.

[Jake The Wolfie]

Mysterious Electrician

(Mysterious Electricians / Vanilla)

You are a member of the Mysterious Electricians, and win when all threats to the Mysterious Electricians have been eliminated.
All Mysterious Electricians are constantly charged with a Mysterious Energy, and are informed of what it does. If another role does not automatically define what Mysterious Energy does, then the moderator may define what it does.
Mysterious Electricians have two factional abilities, and both may be performed at the same time, but not by the same player.
The two factional abilities that Mysterious Electricians are the following:
During the night, you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, you will charge a player with Mysterious Energy.
During the night, you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, you will discharge a player of Mysterious Energy.

You have no other special abilities.

[TemporalLich]

Town Bloodhound

(

Town

/ Bloodhound)

Bloodhound: Each night, you may learn if a player is

Town

or

Not Town

.

Mod Note: Was Nowt Ichorlion (Nowt cop-like), refactored in an effort to ensure Town majority.

Do people even like Nowt?

[Guillotina]

Troll Vanillla

(Troll / Vanillla)

Troll is an independent third party that wins when they have converted every player that remains alive to a different third than their own at least once. You lose when you can't obtain your wincon or you ended up targeting yourself with your factional for some reason. Trolls cannot co-exist in the same game, so they have to be converted for you to win.

Factional:

Every night you may target a player to convert them to a third party faction of your choice (that exists in the DoAR multiverse). You also passively convert your visitors to a random third party.

Vanillla:

The three Ls is not a typo. You cannot die during the day by any means. You cannot be protected or commuted in the night by any means.

If groupscum or masons are converted they will keep their old wincon along with the new one.

[Jake The Wolfie]

Octoshot Octoling Reduxx

(Octarian Elite Reduxx / Octoshot)

You are a member of the Octarian Army, and win when all threats* to the Octarians have been defeated.
The Octarian army does does have any factional abilities, but does issue a standardized Octoshot to all Octolings. Other weapons may also be issued if deemed fit.

During the night you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, that player will be inked, which will roleblock them while they are inked. If a player is already inked, or another player is also inking them, they will die.

If a player is inked for more than 2 cycles, they will stop being inked.
If a player does not act while inked, they will stop being inked.


*threats do not include: The Nowt, Salmon, any player who would submit to your

oppressive

force.
