Chester, 3pYou are a
Chester
.

Limited storage (passive):
You have four slots, which at the beginning of the game are all vacant.

Ability storage (passive):
Whenever you are targeted with a manipulative/killing/protective/investigative ability, instead of that ability successfully targeting you, it will be stored in your chest as one of your four slots. You will be given an exact description of what the ability does, along with what type of ability it is. Should you be targeted by a fifth ability when your storage is full, it will go through like normal. MOD NOTE: In the case of an overflow during the night, e.g. two players target the Chester when the Chester has three slots filled, then the ability higher up on NAR goes in, which is usually manipulative > protective > killing > investigating. In the case of two abilities being exactly equal, the one submitted chronologically first goes in.

Swallow (active):
Once in the game, you may target a player. The first manipulative/killing/protective/investigative ability listed in their role PM (should they have any) will be added to your chest. Once you have successfully eaten an ability by this method, you may no longer use this power.

Ability usage (active):
Once per phase, you may remove an ability from your chest by using it during the time the ability specifies it may be used.

You win when EITHER: all four slots have been taken up with the same type of power, OR: when all four slots have been taken up with a different type of power.
Probably an insanely-hard 3p to win as (though as long as there's a vacant slot at least it can't be nightkilled), but a benign 3p all the same for the most part. Basically it can use any ability it is targeted with, so if it's nightkilled it can vig someone; if it's roleblocked, it can block someone, and so on and so forth.

Alignment PickerWelcome,
Playername
.
You are an
Alignment Picker
.
During Pregame, you may select any alignment.
Should that alignment be in the game, you will win if that alignment wins.
If the alignment you picked is not in the game, you will leave the game in a loss.

Note that you
win
if that alignment wins.
You do not gain the
properties
of that alignment.
If you pick town, you do not count as a living member of the town.
If you pick mafia, you do not gain access to the mafia PT, do not gain access to the nightkill, and do not count as a member of the mafia for endgaming purposes. (Thus, if you pick mafia and all mafia die, you lose.)
If you pick serial killer, you do not gain a nightkill and you do not win if you are the last alive; you only win if the actual serial killer is the last alive.
If you pick jester, you do not win if you are lynched; you only win if the jester is lynched.
And so on and so forth.
MODNOTE: If the player picks a ridiculously-specific alignment, e.g. aligned with the "Flying Pumpkin That Shoots Lasers Out Of Its Ass faction", then the moderator is to interpret that request verbatim. (Presumably causing the player to auto-lose, unless there actually
is
a "Flying Pumpkin That Shoots Lasers Out Of Its Ass faction".)

However, vice-versa is not the case.
If the player picks a generic alignment, e.g. mafia, and the "Flying Pumpkin That Shoots Lasers Out Of Its Ass faction" functions pretty much exactly as how we interpret a mafia faction to work, then the alignment picker would win with the "Flying Pumpkin That Shoots Lasers Out Of Its Ass" faction.

So if you were to have your town faction be called Villagers, and the picker specified town, then they'd win with Villagers.

Optimal play would then be to specify a generic alignment.

You are the
Bad at Mafia Ruleset
.
During the day, target a player.
If that player is due for replacement due to inactivity, or the slot has ever been replaced for flaking, you will kill them.

However, if you ever require replacement for ANY reason (including non-activity-based reasons), you will instead be modkilled and converted into a neutral survivor.
