Faction Lore
Spoiler: The Cult was founded upon the principles of the old Gods. Those who believe in the old Gods believe that standing up and fighting in their name will result in the reward of eternal life, and anybody who does not believe deserves to perish under the feet of the believers. Thus, the Cult will stop at nothing to kill all of the heretics of the town until they are the last ones standing, or until they can't stand any longer.

The Cleric can see visions from Hecate when the full moon is out. Hecate gave him a mission and told him that if he was successful, he would rule over Salem. The mission was to recruit as many followers as possible and kill everybody who didn't obey Hecate until the town was liberated. He was just another pawn in a game of chess, but he was loyal to Hecate and he went out and recruited some members to form the Cult, whom will stop at nothing until they control the town.

The Silencer was recruited by the Cleric within one of the beginning days of the Cult. He had always been by the side of the Cleric, and he was there when the Cleric had been killed. In fact, he killed the Cleric. The Silencer never believed in the gods and thought that the Cleric was a crazy old man. He buried the body and convinced the Cult that he was innocent, taking the position of the Cult leader. He used his power to fulfill his sadistic needs of killing, unaware of anything to do with Hecate or taking over the town.

Once Hecate had heard about the betrayal of the Silencer, she had sent the Hollow to take care of him. The Hollow was a powerful spirit, but he had to rely on consuming the souls of others to survive. He consumed the Silencers soul and liberated the Cult, putting them back on track according to Hecate's will. However, unlike the Cleric, the Hollow couldn't talk to Hecate and although he was powerful, he was stupid. And because he was so desperate to consume so many souls, he consumed some of the cultist's souls as well, and the Cult was left devastated.

The Beckoner was working under the Hollow when the Hollow had tried to slaughter the Cult, but he and a small handful of others escaped the wrath of the Hollow. The Beckoner could see the future, and he knew that the Cult was ruined. He went about his end days telling people about the end of the world when it actually came. Hecate had opened up to the world through the body of the Beckoner, and she was prepared to make the town pay for their blasphemy. After killing every last human, her link to the real world ended, and she disappeared.

The Possessor was one of the first to join the Cult, and one of the last to go. He was one of the Cleric's closest friends when he was first given the vision to take over the town. He saw the Silencer kill his friend, but when questioned he said nothing due to his fear of death. He survived the attack of the Hollow and was killed by Hecate upon summoning her into the Cleric's dead carcass.

I was the one that originally created the Faction Development Thread with this faction, and then all these new factions came out with their own threads, so this faction hasn't gotten really any love. So I'm putting it here in its own thread, and now the Faction Development Thread will just be a place to suggest factions, and, as it says in the name, develop them until they are good enough to create a seperate thread in.

Cult:

Info For Entire Faction:
Spoiler: Goals: Kill everybody who does not accept you as supreme leaders of the town.

Wins With:
Wins with Survivor
Wins with Witch

Special Attributes:
- All members of the Cult, who can not kill, have the ability to become Enforcers(I need a better name), who can just kill 1 person a night(Like a mafioso)
- All members of the Cult may talk to each other at night.

Investigative Results:
I'm thinking that adding an entirely new faction basically just requires new investigative results in general, so I'm planning to make an entirely new one.

Devout:
Spoiler: Role Name:
Devout

Role Alignment:
Cult(Support)

Abilities:
- Every full moon, the Devout may choose to mutate the Deformer to add more abilities to him. Roles dependent on other roles... Eh...
- May choose 1 good mutation and 1 bad mutation.
- The mutation acore may not go over 5, or the Devout may not choose to mutate any mutations.
- May decide to sacrife himself to the cult, which takes away all of the negative mutations imposed on the Deformer.

Attributes:
- Night Immune
- Bite Immune
- Unique
- May not exist without a Deformer


Shapeshifter:
Spoiler: Role Name:
Shapeshifter

Role Alignment:
Cult(Deception)

Abilities:
- Every night, may shift 2 people.
- A shift means that the players chosen will switch places, and anybody visiting one will visit the other. So Transporter.

Attributes:
- May not shoft any Cult member other than himself So a nerfed Transporter.
- The targets will not be notified that they were shifted.(Transporter will need to get a change so that people don't know that they were transported for this to be practical, so assume that this change happens)
- Bite Immune


Deformer:
Spoiler: Role Name:
Deformer

Role Alignment:
Cult(Killing)

Abilities:
- Starts out being able to attack 1 player every odd night

Attributes:
- Bite Immune
- May be given mutations by the Devout.
- May not exceed the score of over 5 by the mutations. May be given positive and negative mutations to make sure you dont go over.
- Only is mutated on full moons, and can only receive 1 mutation from both types of mutations, a total of 2


Spirit Walker:
Spoiler: Role Name:
Spirit Walker

Role Alignment:
Cult(Support)

Abilities:
- May talk to the dead at night
- All dead players may talk back to the Spirit Walker
- Can talk to the mafia even when dead Why..?

Attributes:
- The dead will not know who you are and see you as a "medium"
- Can only talk to the mafia during the night, even if dead Once again... Why?


Spirit Taker:
Spoiler: Role Name:
Spirit Taker

Role Alignment:
Cult(Deception)

Abilities:
- May take a soul from somebody on every odd full moon
- May only take 2 souls, but may try to take a soul as many times until 2 souls are taken

Attributes:
- Taken souls will be given the role of "TAKEN" in the graveyard and the will will not show up
- The souls may not talk after they are killed Yes, let's encourage more leavers. Totally a great idea.


Mutations:
Spoiler: Positive Mutations:
Night Immunity - 10
Will not come up as a cult member to sheriff - 7
May kill every night - 13
Attacks go through night immunity - 6

Negative Mutations(Subtract Points):
Will die in 3 days - 7
Invest will see Deformer as a mafia member(Like sheriff) - 3
May not talk during day - 5
May not vote - 3


Ideas:
Spoiler: As a cult, people usually go through pretty dark things in order to strengthen the cult. The idea is to make sure that no matter what you do the cult will survive, even give your own life. So the roles here either a) Strengthen the cult by any means necessary, or b) Use some sort of dark arts/magic to hurt others who aren't part of the cult.

Devout

Role Alignment:
Cult(Support)

Abilities:
- Every full moon, the Devout may choose to mutate the Deformer to add more abilities to him. Roles dependent on other roles... Eh...Well it is dependent, but to me the cult already has to work together; they know who each other are, they have a night char, and they being hunted as a minority group. I feel like they should be dependent on each other, do you disagree? I ahould also point out that the cult will be always Deformer and Devout, like godfather and mafioso, then I guess a random(cult)
- May choose 1 good mutation and 1 bad mutation.
- The mutation acore may not go over 5, or the Devout may not choose to mutate any mutations.
- May decide to sacrife himself to the cult, which takes away all of the negative mutations imposed on the Deformer.

- A shift means that the players chosen will switch places, and anybody visiting one will visit the other. So Transporter.

Attributes:
- May not shoft any Cult member other than himself So a nerfed Transporter.So the idea behind this is that he can defend from things like vigilante, and he can get town protectives off of targets that the cult want dead. I felt like every night would be too much. Like we need to kill player A? Here is shift player a with player b and then you attack player b to avoid the town protective. Underpowered?
- The targets will not be notified that they were shifted.(Transporter will need to get a change so that people don't know that they were transported for this to be practical, so assume that this change happens)
- Bite Immune


Deformer:
Spoiler: Role Name:
Deformer

Role Alignment:
Cult(Killing)

Abilities:
- Starts out being able to attack 1 player every odd night
No comment? Does that mean you like it or it is just that bad?
Attributes:

Spoiler: Role Name:
Spirit Walker

Role Alignment:
Cult(Support)

Abilities:
- May talk to the dead at night
- All dead players may talk back to the Spirit Walker
- Can talk to the mafia even when dead Why..?
Felt it would be balanced, as medium can seance, so he should be able to talk to the mafia, give them information that he might have. No?
Attributes:
- The dead will not know who you are and see you as a "medium"
- Can only talk to the mafia during the night, even if dead Once again... Why?Well it was either that or he would switch tabs from mafia chat to normal chat, and that's more programming and why would he even talk at night as he ha been discovered as evil, nobody would want to give him information anyways


Spirit Taker:
Spoiler: Role Name:
Spirit Taker

Role Alignment:
Cult(Deception)

Abilities:
- May take a soul from somebody on every odd full moon
- May only take 2 souls, but may try to take a soul as many times until 2 souls are taken

Attributes:
- Taken souls will be given the role of "TAKEN" in the graveyard and the will will not show up
- The souls may not talk after they are killed Yes, let's encourage more leavers. Totally a great idea.Why would that even matter? If they cant talk anyways, then who cares if they leave? Just means that they can't get points. I was thinking about putting if the Spirit Taker dies, then the soles are revealed in the graveyard as well as the will, so that this is most likely a temporary affect. What are your thoughts?


Mutations:
Spoiler: Positive Mutations:
Night Immunity - 10
Will not come up as a cult member to sheriff - 7
May kill every night - 13
Attacks go through night immunity - 6

Negative Mutations(Subtract Points):
Will die in 3 days - 7
Invest will see Deformer as a mafia member(Like sheriff) - 3
May not talk during day - 5
May not vote - 3


Ideas:
Spoiler: As a cult, people usually go through pretty dark things in order to strengthen the cult. The idea is to make sure that no matter what you do the cult will survive, even give your own life. So the roles here either a) Strengthen the cult by any means necessary, or b) Use some sort of dark arts/magic to hurt others who aren't part of the cult.

I apreciate your imput, and I gave responses in red. Please tell me what you think about it, and what changes you think should be made to fix it. I realize it isn't balanced that well, but it does have a lot different things than the mafia. For the most part, that is.

So... sorry, I am slightly confused by the gameplay of this cult. Can they only kill one person every other night? Do I have that right?

Because if that is the case, the Cult doesn't stand a chance against Town. I hope I'm wrong.

Alright so the Deformer is the killing role. He can only kill every other night AT FIRST, which is probably what you noticed. So how this works is that there will always be a deformer and a devout, and every full moon the devout may mutate him. So one of the mutations is that he will kill every night, that he can go through night immunity, or cant be roleblocked. The only problem is that he cant go over 5 positive mutation points, so the negative traits will subtract so that he can get the better traits. At the bottom you can see all mutations, check it out. Is it balanced?

I see, I see. There's a problem though:

Every full moon, Devout can choose only one good mutation and one bad mutation. Mutation score cannot be more than 5. Ability to kill every night is 13 points; there is no -8 point mutation to bring it back down. So unless I'm wrong, they really cannot kill every night.

EDIT: Actually i take that back. Not talking during the day is really bad lol, cant make plays when you cant talk. I changed it to 8

Added the Scholar role, a spin off of an evil investigator, can be more efficient than consig, but has to visit more people running the risk of ww vet or lookout.

You're right. Scholar can be more efficient than consig; I don't think that's a good thing. Especially when the 3 alignments you get will be mostly obvious. Since you know who cult members are, "investigative, support, protective" can only be Town, "benign, evil, chaos" can only be neutral; the only one that can be either is "killing". It is *much* more efficient than the already sort of OP consig.

So.. this entire Mutations system. Lot of numbers, lot of options. What does it actually look like in-game? How does it work?

So about the Scholar, i feel like it goes with th a mutation system. With the consigliere you know alright this is investigator, and the Devout can perfectly work around the town with how the negative mutations are with the positive mutations. I was thinking I move down the amount of investigated, maybe 2 on normal days 1 on full moons.

As for this mutation screen the Devout will get a second screen kind've like the Jailor's jailing screen. This screen when opened will be split into 3 parts, the negwtive and the positive, and at the top it will say the total mutation points. Whn he mutates something, then the next time he opens the screen the mutation score will change and the letters of that mutation will turn black instead of green(Positive) or red(Negative), so that you will know what you mutated, and when you are still choosing mutations that are too expensive will be grey. The deformer will get notifications like when the godfather orders to attack. "The Devout has chosen to mutate you with _____", and at the end of the day there will be a note in red saying for the entire Cult what was mutated. "The Deformer has mutated _____ and _____". (And keep in mind you dont have to mutated at all, or you can mutate just one thing, but i wouldnt suggest that as it isnt balanced like that)

And ignore this if you still don't understand but I thought about maybe adding the ability to devolve a bad/good trait, or if you dont do anything then you will earn like 8 mutation points. So then you dont have to debuff yourself to be a mafioso or something, and if the game changes a bit you can change with it and dont have to carry all of the bad traits on you forever.

That would definitely be preferable to being able to get alignments for 3 people every other night. In general though, the mutations points system is a bit overcomplicated. For starters, they *have* to give the Deformer the ability to kill every night or this Faction is just screwed. There will definitely be "everybody vote" or "everybody talk" metas developed by Town to try to weed out the Deformer. Additionally, nobody should ever be able to kill while jailed.

I mean, don't get me wrong, it's an interesting idea, but at this moment, it needs a bit of tweaking to actually work in-game.

Everybody talk/vote wont become a thing, as too many people wont vote/talk, and then the town will be too busy trying to find the Deformer that they dont get much done. But this is also why i was wondering about the ability to gain mutation points and the ability to get rid of bad effects. I guess I might as well make the Deformer kill every night at first, since you have a point. And how about Devout attacks the target if the Deformer gets roleblocked? So then he doesn't get the attack effects but still somebody can die.

Don't just assume that a meta will not form when the payoff (finding the Deformer) is so great, particularly if it would be a meta that requires minimal effort.

I don't see why Devout couldn't attack the target if Deformer is roleblocked; that's how Mafia works.

Yep, but here it has to be mutated ;) But do you think being able to demutate mutations would fix the problem?

But i think that this system wont work perfect. Like i would go to bet that like 1/3 of the players wont talk for this. I think that they would get voted up for it like vfr, but vote for talking instead. So i guess it could happen. Maybe if he can talk only when voted up?

And who voted this was cancer and left without saying snything? Fight me

Added the Sophist. Basically a reworked framer, he can choose how he wants to make any member appear to the investigatives. Likewise he can make himself appear as whatever he wants, or can make the mafia not come up as mafia

Has anyone mentioned that scholar is op?

Because its too unbalanced, on non fullmoons it should only br able to check 1 person for their allignment nkt 3 even if it only says killing support etc if theyre important theyre gonna die so this role could find evrryones alignments in days
Check out my ideas:
My Guardian Faction
My Elemental Faction
My Spirit Faction
My Demon Faction

How about this? Changed some numbers and combined alignment types so you dont know automatically

Scholar:
Spoiler: Role Alignment:
Cult(Support)

Abilities:
- May ask the moon about 1 person each full moon, learning their Faction(Town, Cult, or Neutral)
- On non-full moons, may research 2 people, learning their alignment type(Killing/Evil Protective, Support, Investigative/Deception Benign)

Attributes:
- None

Also added the ability for the Devout to demutate some attributes on non-full moon days

- May demutate 1 mutation every non-full moon, for the cost of 5 mutation points.
[I have thoughts on your mutations system. I'll touch on those in the Mutations section.]

Attributes:
- Night Immune
- Unique
- May not exist without a Deformer


Shapeshifter:
Spoiler: Role Alignment:

Abilities:
- Every night, may shift 2 people.
- A shift means that the players chosen will switch places, and anybody visiting one will visit the other instead.
[Does TP kill the Shapeshifter? Because this role is so incredibly OP if they do not. You could just switch a confirmed town with someone else and have the Deformer attack that spot. If TP does kill Shapeshifter, I can get behind a Scum-porter.]

Attributes:
- The targets will not be notified that they were shifted.(Transporter will need to get a change so that people don't know that they were transported for this to be practical, so assume that this change happens)


Deformer:
Spoiler: Role Alignment:
Cult(Killing)

Abilities:
- Starts out being able to attack 1 player every odd night [Did you make the change so they attack every night? Or decide against it?]

Attributes:
- Unique
- May be mutated by the Devout [Once again, my thoughts on the Mutations system are later.].
- May not exceed the score of over 5 by the mutations. May be given positive and negative mutations to make sure you dont go over
- Only is mutated on full moons, and can only receive 1 mutation from both types of mutations, a total of 2 mutations
- 1 mutation may be demutated on non-full moons, for the cost of 5 mutation points.


Necromancer:
Spoiler: Role Alignment:
Cult(Support)

Abilities:
- May talk to the dead at night
- All dead players may talk back to the Necromancer
- Can talk to the Cult even when dead

Attributes:
- The dead will not know who you are and see you as a "Medium"
- May call upon the moon to communicate with the Cult at night. May do this twice.
- When talking to the Cult after dead, he may not talk to the dead but can still hear them
[Evil mediums.... I understand the appeal of being able to appear as a confirmed townie, but this role is near useless unless a Retributionist brings someone back. It doesn't even really help the Cult. At least give it a useful ability it can use 3x or something.]


Ritualist:
Spoiler: Role Alignment:
Cult(Deception)

Abilities:
- May steal the soul from any player every full moon
- May only take 2 souls, but may use as many charges as neccesary until 2 souls are taken.

Attributes:
- Taken souls will be given the role of "TAKEN" in the graveyard and the will won't be shown [Oh, so it's a janitor.]
- The souls may not talk after they are killed [This makes it a bit OP. Maybe just give it a day's delay or something.]


Scholar:

Abilities:
- Every night, may choose somebody to appear as a Cultist to the Sheriff, and may choose what results the Investigator will find if he visits the target
- May target anybody, including a Cultist
- Likewise, the Sophist will be able to choose how he appears to an Investigator as well
- If he decides to visit a Cult member, then that player will appear as not a cultist to the Sheriff
[So it can make someone appear to be any role in play, every night. This is a pretty neat twist on Framer.]

Attributes:
- Doesn't appear as a cultist to the Sheriff [Does Devout appear suspicious to the Sheriff? If Devout is NS, having 2 Cult roles both appear NS would be incredibly OP in the same game.]


Mutations:
Spoiler: [Just got rid of that text to clean this up a little. What if, instead of doing a numbers score, you just picked one good mutation and one bad mutation?

Where did you find Sycnja? Absolutely nothing comes up for it on Google.

I still advocate Hecate. She was a pretty popular Greek Goddess to go all cult over back in the day. Among other things, she was associated with witchcraft, necromancy, ghosts and crossroads. Shit, people STILL worship her.

I dont actually remember and i couldn't find it either. :lol: And ewww popularity? There's like only 3 people that are in this cult and they live in salem... If you make the lore ill take it and put it in :lol:

EDIT: I remember what i did. I looked up random goddess name generator, and one of the answers was Sycnja goddess of the moon

Still recommend:
- Simplifying the Mutations system to a 2-3 level system instead of varying numbers and math
- Giving Necromancer a more useful ability
- Giving the Cult a real God/Goddess to worship

Newly recommend:
- Why create a new unit (Enforcer) to take up the killing mantle? If Devouts can kill each night, why not turn Random Cultists into Devout?
- I think this Faction is developed enough so you should at least get a rough draft of how investigative results would look.
- A Greek cult origin would give this a unique twist, as well as make the role name "Sophist" actually sound right, since Sophistry is Greek in origin. If not, I would recommend changing the name Sophist to something like Fabricator.
The Bratva Faction

Full faction is finally dropped! Go leave me some feedback! :D

The Enforcer is just mafioso so that they can kill. Devout is like the godfather for the Deformer, but it cant kill when Deformer is gone. Then the Devout will become the Enforcer because there are no killing roles.

I actually had one the whole time but it hasn't really been balanced, I'll add it in.

Alright so i have fixed everything except 1 thing; I can't think of any buff to just give to the Necromancer. Any ideas? This is sorta a bump though, but check everthing out. And I also replaced "positive mutations and negative mutations" with "mutations and deformities"
Alright I guess I'll add it in.

EDIT: Most are done. No numbers for mutations, added the investigative results, and the lore was deleted and replaced with the central ideas.

I'll bump your faction if you bump mine. ;)

- You said you changed the Mutations system, but what you typed under Devout doesn't... sound like English. It makes no sense. And you didn't change the Mutations tab down lower either, so I have no idea what you actually did.
- As for the Necromancer... the name implies that they bring people back from the dead. If you're actually going Greek, can I suggest the name Ferryman or Charon instead? Charon was the Ferryman that took people into the Underworld over the River Styx, in Greek mythology. Not a big deal, just a thought.
- As for the Necromancer's other ability... I dunno. I see you have nobody that can hear whispers, maybe give them that ability... aaaaand... one other low-level ability. Basically make them a listener to Whispers, Cult, and Dead chat, with some other minor ability? Not sure man.

Though I do understand where you're coming from, my avatar is the(ponified) Necromancer from Diablo 2, and in that game you did revive the dead, but still.
