Harbinger One-shot Bulletproof Bodyguard
(
/ One-shot Bulletproof Bodyguard)
Role (One-shot Bulletproof Bodyguard)
: Each night, you may target a player to take one kill attempt for them. The first time you are attacked, you are immune to that attack.
Alignment (Harbinger)
: A groupscum with a factional PT, but no inherent ability to kill. If a Harbinger attempts to kill a player using a personal ability, the kill will fail automatically. They win when all threats to the Harbingers are gone, or if no one is left alive at the end of the game. There can be no more than four Harbingers alive at one time in a single game.
On the first night, each member of the Harbingers must choose a Horseman to call upon. Each member must select a different Horseman. There are two components to a Horseman:
The Horsemen grant their devotees an additional night action which they are automatically multi-tasking with. Harbingers may use their Horseman's abilities immediately starting night one.
In addition, if a certain condition is met with that night action, then every member of the Harbingers will lose their previous role's abilities and transform into a new role determined by their Horseman. Any lingering effects that their previous role may have had on other players will remain.
After transforming, a Harbinger's role is replaced by the name and abilities of the Horseman, including for flip. Additionally, all Harbingers become immune to all forms of death except for exile. When this occurs, a public announcement is made to the thread that
“The apocalypse is upon us.”

Regular Ability
: Each night, you may visit a player’ house to infect them with the plague. Infection is permanent. All players who visit an infected player, all players visited by an infected player, and all players who visit you are also infected by the plague. Infection is permanent. Harbingers cannot be infected by the plague. Your targetted infection resolves instantly at the beginning of the night resolution, while all others resolve at the end. At the beginning of each night phase, you passively learn who is currently infected.
Transformation
: The apocalypse will activate if all players who can be infected are infected at the start of a day phase. Your new ability is to target a player at night to unstoppably kill them and all of their visitors. Additionally, you passively and unstoppably kill all of your visitors.
Regular Ability
: Each night, you may visit a player’ house to attempt to reclaim their soul. They cannot affect Harbingers with actions on that night. If they are killed on that night, you harvest their soul. Harbingers' souls cannot be harvested. On following nights, you are multi-tasking with all of the non-factional actions that players whose souls you have harvested could perform.
Transformation
: The apocalypse will activate at the start of a day phase after you have reaped a certain number of souls determined by the game moderator. Your soul reaping ability attacks your target, harvests their soul, and is performed without leaving your house. In other words, this kill cannot be detected. You retain your old stolen abilities, as well as multi-tasking.
Regular Ability
: Each night, you may visit a player’ house to wither their strength, roleblocking them. All players who visit a famined player are crippled in the same way, becoming famined and having their action blocked. This can chain indefinitely. Harbingers cannot be famined, nor can their actions be affected by others being famined.
Transformation
: The apocalypse will activate at the start of a day phase after you have prevented a certain number of deaths, determined by the game moderator, using this ability. Your famine ability now kills players in addition to roleblocking them.
Regular Ability
: Each night, you may visit a player’ house to challenge them to a duel. If they are capable of killing players at night, they will be forced to attack you, preventing them from visiting anyone else or performing any other actions. If they unable to kill players at night, they are unaffected by this ability and the duel fails. You cannot be killed by players you are duelling with, and in addition, you gain permanent immunity to being killed by players you have successfully had a duel with before. You will be informed whether or not a duel is successful. You may not duel with Harbingers.
Transformation
: The apocalypse will activate at the start of a day phase after you have successfully duelled a certain number of times, determined by the game moderator. All players, not just those who can kill, are now forced to accept your duel. You now attack players you duel with. Each night, you gain an additional duel -- for example, on the second night after the apocalypse begins, you may choose two players to duel.
The moderator should inform the players how many times they need to successfully activate each ability before horsemen picks are made. Typically, the threshold for apocalypse activation will be made more difficult the more Harbingers are present, as well as the higher the total playercount is.[/spoiler]
