He can't mark himself or kill himself, right?

While he sounds scary, I'm pretty sure his ability will herd the town right into lynching him. They're not going to vote a player who previously had a mark set off, and that will quickly force them to catch the Assailant by process of elimination.

This role will also encourage weird habits like expendable players voting every other player to check for marks. :p

He can mark and kill himself (don’t know why he would want to kill himself though)

Keep in mind, Marks can stack.

He can pick the same target 3 nights in a row.

An example of how this role works is let’s say you Target Bob.
Carly Votes Bob the next day.
Carly Dies by Assailant! 1 Mark Is moved from Bob.

Also I may make it so if they mark themselves they lose their basic defence to avoid them being a Day Tank.

Yeah, stacking self-marks might be rather overpowered. He hides like an Arsonist, and eventually becomes unlynchable. Losing basic defense doesn't help if the Mafia is losing and there's no Vigilante.

On the other hand, this role can easily be forced into a draw when he would otherwise win. If everyone simply refrains from voting, then the Assailant can't kill anyone, and so can't complete his goal.

I don't think this role has the right theme for winning in a draw. IMO it would be better to keep the goal and win conditions unchanged, and give him a secondary way to kill in case he successfully stops all voting.

How’s this:

If no one voted during the pervious day, during the next day you may target someone using the day icon and kill them right in the day!

But this isn’t Arsonist/Hex Master this is Assailant.
Also I don’t like the only one mark on Self.
Maybe some other kind of nerf? I don’t know I’ll think about it.
I do have a Discord Server so I can just test it on there.

1.who cares that it isn't arsonist or hex master, this is better than deciding if no one voted yesterday you get a dayshot
2.Being able to just stack marks on yourself is too op
3.stop telling everybody about your discord server I hear it too much

I kinda want the marked players to die off one at a time.

How about: Each mark only lasts for up to 3 days. When any player other than the Assailant stays marked for 3 days, they're killed in the night (Unstoppable attack).

This makes it only possible to have up to 3 self-marks at the time.

There's also the option of making this role into a Coven role. Unreliable kill methods are kind of the Coven's thing.

IMO.
If it gets to the point where you have yourself marked so much you win then you should win.
I’ll edit it so you can’t mark yourself Night 1.
