Post three silly, interesting, or unique role ideas in each of your posts. One Town, one Mafia, one Third Party (you may choose the specific type of TP).

You earn one Token for every non-spam post you make in this thread. (Double posts don't count). Pay 5 Tokens to generate a role: select a random alignment (1d10, 1-7 is Town, 8-9 is Mafia, 10 is Third Party), select three random posts in this thread, and look at the roles from each of those posts. Select two of the three roles that correspond to your alignment and then merge the roles together, and that's the role you get to display proudly as your Gacha Role. (Third Parties don't use two different Third Party roles, instead they pick one Third Party role and one Town role, the Third Party role taking precedence.)

You may redo your Gacha Role generation if you don't like it, but you have to pay another 5 Tokens.



Quantum Entangler (town)
(Night) Entangle [target1] [target2]: Target1 and Target2 are considered to be the same player tonight. This means that any and all effects affecting one of them will affect both of them, as though they were fused together.

Locked Room Murderer (mafia)
(2-Shot, Night) Jailkeeper Assassination [target]: Counts as using the mafiakill. You roleblock your target, nullify all actions used on them tonight (other than this one), and kill them.

Bodyguard Golem (brother)
(Wincon): You win if [player] is still alive at the end of the game. This does not mean they have to win, only survive to endgame.
(Night) Standing Stone [target]: You stand guard over your target, preventing them from acting tonight (via roleblock). Additionally, they are protected from all kill actions tonight, and you learn what players visited your target tonight.
(1-Shot, Auto) Fortified: You may survive one kill action used on you, though you cannot act for the next Cycle after this ability triggers.
(1-Shot, Day) Self-Destruct [target]: You explode (and die). (Fortified cannot prevent this) You kill your target (by exploding on them).
