Since they were an Ex-Criminal/Prisoner they have connections with previous criminals and/or currrent criminals like the Mafia and Serial Killer which explains why they are notified if they have came in contact, they also sabotage other's plans that's why they are

Background Story: The Scavenger is a shady looking fellow wearing a long cape and hood that hides their identity, it also explains why the Handgun isn't seen easily by the sheriff and why bigger guns like the Rifle and Minigun are seen, the weapons are also old aged and rusty therefore makes the person "bleed" instead of dying and needs a finisher

Weakness: Low Confirmability and Low Contribution

Background Story: The Journalist is in their 20's carrying huge glasses and a book, they have a introverted personality and doesn't appear to look friendly. They have currently experienced plenty of disasters and killer reports in their time that's why they can see "hints" or clues that reveal roles present within the game.

(Coven)

Name:  Mermaid

Alignment:  ​Coven Evil​

Introduction: You are a beautiful lady with a captivating voice that lures whoever hears it slowly to their doom

Attack: Basic (With or Without Necro)

Defense: None (With or Without Necro)

Unique Role: Yes

Priority: 1 (Day Ability), 2(Night Ability)

Abilities:

-During The Day, You may decide to reap the "Lured" based on how long they have listened to your song

-During The Night, You may play your song which can only be heard by people that have met the condition, (With Necro) you can now select up to 2 conditions and can instead play a song that directly strikes your target with a Basic Attack

Mechanics pt 1:

(How the Ability Works #1)

-You will be given a GUI at the start of the night, from there you can choose whether to attack a player directly(Which is disabled if they don't have the Necronomicon ofc) or sing for those who have met the condition which makes them "Lured",After selecting the option to sing for those who have met the condition. you are presented with 3 different conditions from which you may choose
Sample of Conditions

1: People will hear the Mermaid's Song if they visited Player X(Choosable) on their death
2: People will hear the Mermaid's Song if they have visited a member of the Coven
3: People will hear the Mermaid's Song if they have recieved a notification/message from another Coven Member (Ex: You were witched)

-Coven Members are not affected by the Song but can influence people to hear the Mermaid's Song by making them activate the condition

-The targets will not know which condition was used to 'Lure" them but will recieve a message saying that they were "Lured"

(How the Ability Works #2)

-If a player has met a condition set by the Mermaid they will be "Lured", which then you may reap by selecting the Sun Icon,the players are affected based on how many times they have heard the Mermaid's Song,.

-After performing your day ability, you can not perform your Night Ability and your coven members are notified that you had decided to Reap the targets

Sample of Effects

1: (First Time), You are also attacked by the same attacker if you have visited someone who has been attacked, the next night
(How it plays out)

So let's say Player X had listened to the Mermaid's Song for 1 time now and it's N1,The Mermaid has clicked on the sun icon which would reap the player,Player X is then notified N2 that he will also be attacked if he visits someone who is also attacked,After N3 Player X will no longer be attacked if they also visited a player who was  attacked

2: (Second Time), You are dealt by a Basic Attack the next night
(How it plays out)

So let's say Player X had listened to the Mermaid's Song for 2 times now and it's N2,The Mermaid has clicked on the sun icon which would reap the player,Player X is then notified N2 that he will be attacked the next night.

3: (Third Time), You are immediately dealt by a Basic Attack and your last will is hidden, your role is also replaced with "Drowned" (Basically like Medusa's "Stoned" but it's just to clarify if they were attacked by a Mermaid or a Medusa)

(How it plays out)

-So let's say Player X had listened to the Mermaid's Song for 3 times now and it's N3,The Mermaid has clicked on the sun icon which would reap the player,Player X is notified that he will be attacked tonight.

Attributes:

-Standard Coven Attributes (May speak in the Coven Chat, etc)

Thief is meh

Scavenger is bad

Journalist is useless

Mermaid doesn't really have a place in the game as it's too similar to Medusa

Scavenger is bad 1.

1. Bad as in what? Slow killing? Unhealthy? Way too similar?

2. Useless as in? Slow? Ability is not that great? etc?

3. Would it be better if the mechanics get turned into something slightly more different in an another faction? Do you feel it's worth balancing?

Scavenger is basically a weaker werewolf. they take two nights to kill someone with a weapon, and the weapons that the person uses need to be 1-shot in order for this role to actually have a chance in working.

Journalist has the same capabilities of a role as a Medium. Both roles are incredibly easy to fake. I don't believe it's needed because it would upset the balance of the game. Hi, I'm the journalist, and so and so is town. How believable is that? It doesn't have any other capabilities other than the even night check it gets, making this role basically useless.

Mermaid in general i think needs to be completely reworked into something unique. People have proposed something called the Siren role, where they lure people in to kill them. It was tested I think, then scrapped. Roles that lure aren't that great in the game.
