Role Ideas

[Arckas]

▬The Sane Patient▬▬▬▬

Pills Here - You start with a bottle of pills that are hidden.

Healthy Mind, Healthy Body - Taking a pill will make your reaction time slower, but makes you more sturdy.

You'd think it be wise to take a pill every roaming phase, do that and escape.

Not taking a pill during roaming phase changes your role to this;

▬The Insane Patient▬▬▬▬

Dance like a Butterfly... - You have cat-like reflexes and your senses are enhanced, but you can't take a hit.

Bloodlust - Killing someone fills you with adrenaline, making you move and react even quicker.

You're out for blood. Kill at the very least 2 players and escape alone.

Once gone insane there is no going back.

The dynamic role actually is pretty cool.

For the insane, do you have to have to escape alone? That would normally require killing more then 2 people.

[IAmAMunchlax]

Yes, but you can escape alone without having to kill...it's probably difficult, but doable. This role requires you to kill before even being allowed to escape.

[JazzMusicStops]

Never played but I had an idea

▬Yin▬▬▬▬

Eternal Struggle - You know [player] is Yang, you may not harm them in any way unless you are in the final 2

What is good without evil? - Is Yang dies or Escapes, you will cease to be

Your goal is to escape before Yang kills 3 non-evil players
If Yang kills 3 non-evil players, your goal is to kill Yang

▬Yang▬▬▬▬

Eternal Struggle - You know [player] is Yin, you may not harm them in any way unless you are in the final 2

What is evil without good? - Is Yin dies or Escapes, you will cease to be

Your goal is to kill 3 non-evil players and escape
If this becomes impossible, your goal is to kill Yin

It's probably shit but IDK

[Schultz128]

Rarely do we get down to 2 people in VLDR. It's possible, but unlikely.

[IAmAMunchlax]

▬Champion▬▬▬▬

Lifestealer - You have a hidden BP counter that adds with your current BP. Anytime you murder someone that hidden BP raises by one. Only you know what your hidden BP is.

Your Best Friend - You may only vote Ally.

Escape.

I am genius. Make role with good align ability and killing align ability and make it neutral. Pls help.

@Jammy

So a more complicated Adversary?

[JazzMusicStops]

@Jammy

So a more complicated Adversary?

I guess

[Nellyfox]

Role copies in the same alignment aren't the greatest especially with how role lists tend to be treated.

Personally, I don't like it. For the above reason and because there's just so much about them. It's not fair to lose because your enemy dies.

[Schultz128]

▬Nurse▬▬▬▬

Beat of Life - You may secretly plant a heart monitor on up to three players. When one of those players die, you will be alerted of their status and death location via your bracelet.

Dr. MacGyver - You can tend to a person's wounds with standard and nonstandard medical equipment with expertise.

Eliminate all Evil roles and escape.

[Nellyfox]

Make the colour darker. :P

I thought a doctor role was planned but I guess it got scrapped. Really though, it's so easy to die in VLDR that we need something like this.

[Schultz128]

I thought a doctor role was planned but I guess it got scrapped. Really though, it's so easy to die in VLDR that we need something like this.

I suppose the Guardian Angel fills that niche need for a Doctor role, but this role serves more of a unique ability and doesn't have as much of a restricting wincon as Guardian Angel.

[Nellyfox]

Oh, forgot about Guardian Angel. The other ability is pretty nice, though. Munch would know.

[LordofFail]

imagine a GIM VLDR

[IAmAMunchlax]

▬The Jester▬▬▬▬

Come at me, Bro - You are very death resistant.

Cyanide and Happiness - You start with a hidden Cyanide pill. Taking it removes your resistance to death for a single phase.

You must find a way to die to someone else's hands.

pls don't take this seriously im bored
