Lore:
Spoiler: One day, you were walking through a cemetery mourning a loss of yours at night. Then you saw a strange, black, robed figure hovering over your friend's grave. You shouted for them to get away from them and it turned around. You saw a thick, purple-eyed skull face. In his left hand, he held a scythe while in the right was a bell. It was the grim reaper. You stared for a bit. As if it had read your thoughts, it said, "You want to see your friend again, don't you? And you don't want to leave behind your current friends, right?" You nodded eagerly, and he replied, "Very well then, this will only hurt for a moment. I rarely give out blessing like these and often demand certain things in exchange, but I feel generous today. After all, all my citizens are satisfied including your friend." You felt as if you had died and you screamed in agony, but then it stopped. Your friend as a translucent figure was next to the reaper. The reaper said, "You will now be able to see and hear ghosts. And when you are dead, you can come back to this world and enter the bodies of the alive. By the way, here's some VIP tickets for your death when you take a trip to the underworld. Oh, and you may leave behind ectoplasm, which is a key material in spirits. When you arrive in the underworld, me and your friends will be expecting you. I might ask you as a citizen of the underworld to go on a mission sometimes. Well, toodles." And he disappeared into the night.

I will agree with Spectre0, even jester has the goal of getting himself lynched. A role must have a goal while alive...





My favourite role ideas:

Spoiler:
    (Specter0) Soulkeeper(NC)
    (Sh99er) Succubus(NC)
    (Sh99er) Parasite(NC)
    (dyaomaster) Biologist(NK)
    (ChandlerofGEM) Mercenary(NC)
    (khakha1036) Lumber Jack(NB)

I dont see why alot of people are saying it must have a goal when alive, where does it say that? (if it does then...gg) but i like the idea, however it could be against town untill it dies.

And maybe if killed by jester (so make it not jester immune) it could have town as the killers.

Comprehensive strategy guide to playing a role with only post-death ability:

Step 1: Talk pointless crap that sounds smart until someone kills you

Step 2: Now that nothing you do has any negative impact on your playing, do whatever the hell you want. Wanna gamethrow? Sweet! Wanna be an absolute annoyance? Also sweet! Town can't do anything about it!

How can you game throw with a role thats on no ones side (unless dead says info then, their fault)
And most of the time town wont be against you

I put in the role, "Prevent your killer(s) from winning the game or survive." So yes, it does have a goal while alive. Also, if a jester kills, it is pretty hard to prevent your killer from winning since they already won.

Changed it anyway so that he isn't jester immune but the lynching principle applies to the spectre but based on the jester's trial.

Changed it back cause I couldn't find a good way to deal with the jester if the spectre is the only guilty

Sweet.

It's too easy to win as if "survive" is a secondary goal. Not to mention that all roles should only have one goal.

Do you have any ideas for a secondary goal? Or should there be none?

Would having the spectre while alive be aligned against town a good idea?
