Bring Your Own Role Mafia. Basically, you pick the name of your role, and I pick how it acts and interacts with other roles. Any name shall do, and if it is obscure, a link to a data source might help. ...But please not TOO obscure.
This is otherwise known as U-Pick. I shall do my best to insure playability and avoid broken games.
Therefore, let's play!
As for rules:
PMing: Disallowed (Mafia ONLY)
Hammering: HELLS YES
Quoting Mod: ALWAYS Disallowed
Added by Pandarsenic: Roleblockers are immune to roleblocks used that night for the sake of avoiding paradoxen.
However, certain types of roleblocks circumvent this. Radiation sickness circumvents this.
01.
SirBayerNuclear Rocket Surgeon
You're a Nuclear Rocket Surgeon. As a man of SCIENCE, you are capable of using the "SCIENCE!" action on someone. If they are attacked, you will perform surgery on them, saving their life. If they have a delayed kill going to happen to them, you will cure their cancer (or whatever it is they have). However, if neither of those is true, you will irradiate them, which will make them sick, blocking their action the next night. If you irradiate someone with radiation sickness already, they will die. You win when all scum are dead.

NeruzAltar of the World Machine
You are an altar. If there was a cult, it would make sacrifices on you, but there is not. Instead, you've become able to ALTER things FOR the World Machine. You are a redirector. Redirect [Player1] to [Player2] (or back to [Player1]) will cause [Player1] to change his target. You win when all scum are dead.

Leafsnail - MAFIA MEMBER
Envy (from FMA) - MAFIA
MAFIA MEMBER. You are a homunculus. Your objective is to kill humans, naturally. Your philosopher's stone will prevent you from dying to one nightkill. You can, for the MAFIAKILL, use the REPLACE [PLAYER] action, which will kill you and convert the target (think of it as killing this person and taking his place. Or as being the Advanced Doppelganger from Paranormal. The mafia partners are [REDACTED]. You win when it is no longer possible for town to win. The Mafia Chat is at [REDACTED]
07.
ExKirbyRook
You're a chess piece, adept at moving in straight lines, worth roughly five pawns- wait, no. You're actually a Rook, a bird of the species Corvus frugilegus. You are intelligent, capable of making tools with your beak, and folk tales claim you are responsible for escorting souls of the virtuous dead to heaven. You may speak with all dead players in the BYOR Dead Chat, here: [REDACTED]
You win when all scum are dead.

Mr.PersonGlenn Beck - Lyncher
Socialists are destroying this country! Your goal is to identify the BARACK OBAMA, leader of the dirty socialists, and have him removed from office. But he can't be killed by independent action, oh no. You're a man of the people, and the people must vote that Barack Obama be impeached. And by impeached we mean killed. Each night, you can pay off a government official to read a player's tax files, learning if they are PRO-MAFIA or PRO-TOWN, as well as if they are a SOCIALIST (only Barack Obama is a socialist). If Barack Obama is assassinated, you become an ordinary townie. If you succeed in lynching Barack Obama (oh the awkward implications) you disappear from the game. You win when you lynch Barack Obama, but if he is assassinated, you win when all scum are dead. You are not considered to be scum.

Apostolic NihilistCharles Darwin
You are, as the father of the concept of evolution, in possession of the powers of mutation. Each night, you can mutate, which will give you one or more of the following powers until you next mutate:
Kill
Inspect
Protect
Roleblock
You may draw any possible variant of the roles your receive with those powers (for instance, 0% vig, CPR Doctor, insane daycop) due to your own doubt in your theory. You win when all scum are dead.
12.
Zai - Jester
Ninja Zombie Alien Pirate Lawyer Robot Doctor Spiderman - Jester
Oh, wow. As a Ninja, you can avoid any non-nightkill action. As a zombie, you can come back to life from one death. As an alien, you can abduct a player for a night, roleblocking them and causing all actions targeting them to be roleblcked. As a Pirate, you can force everyone to talk like a pirate the next day. As a robot, you can gain one-shot versions of any ability used against you. As Doctor Spiderman, you can use your "SCIENCE"! ability to conduct research on someone, telling you all commands they can use other than MAFIAKILL (and roleblocking them, since you will web them to a wall to hold them still). Unfortunately, you can only do each of these once. Oh, and you're a Jester, so you win when you're lynched. If you win, others can still win. (as a Lawyer, the best thing for everyone is for you to be gone)
ZAI HAS FULFILLED HIS WIN CONDITION13.
EdurenBarack Obama - Lynchee
You're the President of the United States. With the powers outlined in the U.S. Constitution, you can grant a pardon to any number of players at any point in the day, which will prevent their lynch on that day. You cannot pardon yourself. Pardoning someone will, upon their failed lynch, reveal your identity as Barack Obama. In addition, the Secret Service will protect you from all nightkills for one night. Beware, someone in this game may want you impeached. You win when all scum are dead.
14.
ToonyManMayor of Can Town - MAFIA
MAFIA MEMBER. You are the Mayor of Can Town. Your beloved town is in danger. Luckily, you have been approached by several Nice Men who will help you defend it. You may send one of your Can Agents on a mission each night. They will lay down their lives in their final service to their town. Each Agent is/has a one-shot ability.
Agent Corn: Agent Corn can make any player he is fed to immune to any interference with his actions that night; all redirects, roleblocks, bussing, etc., will be ignored by him.
Agent Peas: Agent Peas can spill his contents across the ground. Because the peas he contains are frozen, the person he interacts with will be tripped (roleblocked) if they attempt to leave their house.
Citizen Tab: Citizen Tab is a brave can, with absolute devotion to Can Town. If needed, he will lay down his life in a furious attack that will kill his target and anyone who interacts with his target directly. But not beyond that. I learned my lesson. He will likely lose his life in the process, however.
Deploying Citizen Tab is a variant of the MAFIAKILL action. The rest are not. The mafia partners are [REDACTED]. You win when it is no longer possible for town to win. The Mafia Chat is at [Redacted]
15.
WebadictPandarsenic
You are Pandarsenic, the Moderator. Once per game, during a night phase, you can consult your my your... notes on a player, seeing their role PM. Your result is never inaccurate (you cannot be redirected). If you Cheat to find a mafia member's role PM, the part informing them of their partners and their chat URL will be removed, but that they are Mafia and how their ability interacts with the MAFIAKILL action will remain. You win when all scum are dead.
16.
Cheddarius (Replacing Org by request after at least 2-3 prods) Imperial Titan, Imperator Class
MAFIA MEMBER. Jesus fucking Christ, you're huge. You're... really huge. Any action you take will be announced to anyone because they can't help but see you. You have the power to STARE INTIMIDATINGLY at someone. They will be so intimidated they cannot take any action that night. Your other ability is to STEP ON [PLAYERNAME], which will kill that player. In fact, you will stomp them so thoroughly you will kill them two times. This is a variant of the MAFIAKILL action. The mafia partners are [REDACTED]. You win when it is no longer possible for town to win. The Mafia Chat is at [REDACTED]
17.
CobaltKobold - MAFIA MEMBER
Kobold - MAFIA
MAFIA MEMBER. You are a Kobold, otherwise known as SKULKING FILTH. You must have made a wrong turn somewhere, because you're in a Mafia game instead of a Dwarf Fortress, but luckily, you have some allies, it seems. You should do your best to protect them, instead. You have equipment to Protect someone once, and you can act as a Bodyguard, dying in their place, any number of times. The mafia partners are Leafsnail (Envy), [REDACTED], and CobaltKobold (Kobold). You win when it is no longer possible for town to win. The Mafia Chat is at [REDACTED]
18.
Diakron (Replacing Rashilul forcefully)Dave Strider
Wow. You're pretty cool. You can, each night, use ILL BEATS on [PLAYERNAME], which will cause them to spend the night listening to your ILL BEATS and ranting about bands nobody has ever heard of instead of doing... whatever they meant to be doing. At any point during a day phase, you may state in a post "BRO IS ALWAYS BRO" with no other text. Until the end of the day, Bro will stop you from being lynched. You win when all scum are dead.
19.
RedWarrior0Tree - SURVIVOR
You're a Tree. You specialize in the ancient art of Arboreal Boxing, and will punch out the first person who attempts to nightkill you. While they're unconscious, you will check their identity and alignment. You are a Survivor. If you are lynched, the person who hammered you will realize the damage he has done to the environment by killing you and commit suicide. You win if you are alive when the game ends.
RedWarrior0 is no longer capable of fulfilling his win condition or drawing, and has lost.To sign up, post whether you want hammers or deadlines, then PM me your desired role.You must name the person you are unvoting so I can figure out who on my list of 19 people it is. I can't view that many lines of text at 800x600 resolution.
Jester (Zai) has won epically.
Lyncher (Mr.Person) has won dramatically.
Mafia (Leafsnail, Vector, Cheddarius, GlyphGryph, CobaltKobold) has won hilariously.
Town (everyone else) has lost.
Replaced players (Org, Rashilul, SHAD0Wdump) have lost epically.
