Death Note themed Mafia? :awesome:
(Rough draft, of course. Couldn't think of too much. Updated it a bit based on suggestions
.)
NEGLIGENT INVESTIGATOR - A pawn of the Kira Investigation Team, this member dutifully shuffles through the bureaucratic work on a daily basis. He knows little, but as an integral part of the investigation, he carries on his work regardless. Carries a fake ID, with his real name unknown to all other players, but there is nothing that can't be uncovered with a little investigation...
- Vote - The investigator will voice his suspicions towards a person whose identity he suspects to he Kira. The daily voting process is, however, democratic, so the investigator will have say equivalent to one vote. The person who receives the most votes by the end of the day will be arrested and executed. This applies to every role listed, unless specified otherwise.
- Power: Follow - At night, the investigator may shadow one other person and gain knowledge of any visits they make. Counts as a visiting action.
L - The leader of the Kira Investigation Team, whose sole goal is to find and eliminate Kira. His name is unknown and not recorded in any form, and as such he is essentially immune to the Death Note, with one exception...
- Vote - L's words carry more weight than the typical investigative member, and so his votes count for twice the weight.
- Passive: Investigative Immunity - L's name cannot be acquired via normal means; shinigami eyes are required.
- Power: Override - If L has overwhelming suspicion against a particular person, he may override the democratic process and use his position as head detective to force an execution on daytime. If, however, he executes an innocent player through this power, he will lose the ability to use it in any future votes.
- Power: Deduction - At night, L may use his intellect to evaluate existing clues. Adds 12.5% to the progress of solving the case each use; after eight uses of this power, L will arrive at the true identities of Kira and all accomplices.
- Power: Restraint - L may handcuff himself to another member of the investigative unit during the day, preventing both L and the target from using powers or visiting any other person that night.
W - The right hand, aide, and advisor of L, W's alias is known to everyone, but like L, his real name is unknown.
- Power: ALL DATA DELETE - If killed via Death Note, W will erase all data pertaining to L, M, N, and himself from the computers, preventing Kira from taking control of them. Because all information regarding the Kira investigation are erased, it resets the progress bar to 0%.
- Passive: Investigative Immunity - W's name cannot be acquired via normal means; shinigami eyes are required.
- Power: Follow - At night, W may shadow one other person and gain knowledge of any visits they make. Counts as a visiting action.
- Power: Surveillance - W may install video surveillance equipment in the home of one member during the day, but will fail to show up to the daily meeting. At night, he may observe that person's actions through the plethora of video cameras, and gain complete knowledge about any night actions made.
KIRA - The first human owner of the Death Note, Kira is otherwise entirely identical to an investigator, save for his extraordinary intellect. Owns a
Death Note.
- Passive: Acute Perception - As a perceptive person, Kira will be aware of any person who follows him, as well as any surveillance equipment installed in his house while he was absent.
- Power: Investigation - Leaves for one person's home and acquires their real name during the night. If they do not visit anyone else, he will see their face. Counts as a visiting action.
- Power: Relinquish Note - Relinquishes possession of his Death Note to X-Kira. At this point, X-Kira becomes aware of his own role. Counts as a visiting action.
NEGLIGENT CIVILIAN - A typical member of society, the civilian has absolutely no knowledge of the Kira affair, and does not participate in the voting process as they are not involved with the investigation. Civilians will win as long as they survive, regardless of the side that secures victory. Civilian names are publicly known, so Kira can kill them without investigating, except for the case of special civilian roles.
- Power: Broadcast - Appears on Sakura TV as a guest of their infamous pro-Kira program.
- Power: Visit - At night, calls another player and arranges to visit him or her on the following night. When the visit occurs, neither party may visit any other on the same night, but this does not stop any other non-visiting night actions, such as arranging another visit. Counts as a visiting action on the second night.
N - A detective rivaling L in intellect, N hides in the shadows as a normal civilian until L dies, at which point he surfaces and conducts his private investigation. Otherwise, identical to a civilian and inherits its powers.
- Passive: Investigative Immunity - N's name cannot be acquired via normal means; shinigami eyes are required.
- Power: Analysis - Usable only if L dies. At night, analyzes clues about Kira within his own investigation. N contributes 5% each night to the progress bar, with an additional 2.5% for each FBI agent alive. If N has declared, an extra 12.5% is added per use.
- Power: Declare - Usable only if L dies. Makes his role known to everyone, and inherits L's voting powers.
FBI AGENT - A loyal guard of N, they assist with the investigation. Otherwise, identical to a civilian and inherits its powers.
- Power: Surveillance - Tracks one target of his choice and gains knowledge about whom that person visits during that night.
- Power: Blockade - Protects one target of his choice and prevents any other person from visiting them that night.
M - Aligned with no other party but otherwise seeming like a civilian, M has the objective of acquiring the Death Note for himself. Wins if and only if he obtains all copies of the death note. Otherwise, identical to a civilian and inherits its powers. Knows the face and real names of L, W, and N.
- Passive: Investigative Immunity - M's name cannot be acquired via normal means; shinigami eyes are required.
- Power: Chocolate - Eats a bar of chocolate.
- Power: Blackmail - Blackmails the investigative unit into handing over any copies of the death note that they are in possession of.
MAFIA - Aligned with M, the mafia win if and only if M wins. Otherwise identical to civilians.
- Power: Night Hit - Used only on the night that the mafia member visits someone or is visited by someone else. Shoots the target whom he visits with a gun, and acquires any objects in his possession. If used on L or W when other Investigation Team members are alive, N when FBI agents are alive, FBI agents, or the Shinigami, the mafia member dies instead.
SECOND KIRA - The second human owner of the Death Note, this Kira possesses the gift of Shinigami eyes. Owns a
Death Note. Otherwise, identical to a civilian and inherits its powers.
- Power: Shinigami Eyes - Acquire the real name of a civilian during the day. as well as knowledge of whether or not that person owns a Death Note. Cannot be used on members of the Investigation, as she cannot enter the building at which the day conference is held.
- Power: Visit - Functions like a normal visit, although she will acquire the real name of the person as well as a photograph of their face. If she visits Kira, she will be able to transfer all names and photographs she acquired to Kira that night.
SHINIGAMI - The original owner of Kira's Death Note, the shinigami possesses eyes that allows him to see the name and lifespan of any other player. Owns a
Death Note, but if he interferes with the scenario using the Note, he will be able to kill at most two people before he turns to dust. (If he dies in that fashion, his death note falls into possession of the Kira Investigation Team. The team will decide amongst themselves who the Note will belong to.)
- Passive: Immunity - Cannot be killed via Death Note, and cannot be lynched. If he somehow finds himself lynched, all parties who participated in the lynch, regardless of vote, dies of a heart attack.
- Power: Shinigami Eyes - Acquire the real name of a target with 100% success.
X-KIRA - An ordinary resident with a pro-Kira stance, X-Kira functions as a normal civilian until Kira relinquishes control of his Death Note. X-Kira is a role chosen by Kira at the moment that he relinquishes the note, selecting a civilian to give the note to.
- Power: Shinigami Eyes - Acquire the real name of a target during the day with 100% success, as well as knowledge of whether or not that person owns a Death Note. Activated when he becomes aware of his own role.
Death Note - A tool of extraordinary power, this supernatural booklet allows those who own it to wield power over death.
- Conferred Power: Sakujo - If the Death Note owner has seen a person's face and acquired their real name, they may write the name of that person in the Death Note at night, guaranteeing their death. The death conditions may be specified, as to allow Kira to control their actions prior to death as well as the time of death. Consult the Death Note Rules for details. As many names can be written into the death note per night as necessary, although the Death Note owner must be aware
