Lore:
From birth, the Possessor had the power of the dead inside him. Evil relatives, the Godfather, past Serial Killers and even the Coven leader spoke to him every night. One day, he decided to choose a victim. He went into the mayor's house, stroke up a friendly conversation, and when the time was right, he tied the mayor to the ground, and started the ritual. When morning came, everything seemed just as it had seemed in the previous day. At night, the mayor began his killing spree. The Serial Killer was back.

If you have any suggestions I'd like to hear them!

Town will immediately notice if a dead player is revived.
The evil guy will just be hung again.

the name is wrong it doesn't posses itself it lets an mafia or NK possess a body

a better name would be the ritualist or shaman

so it kills the person the picks a dead person to take over their body. its not a bad role per sa besides it messes with the report system since an evil mafia or NK will now be in an non evil roles body

the goal itself is bad and just promotes waiting till the last possible day to win but ofc you can die before u get to rez an mafia or NK , the goal doesnt feel fun, this role feels like it should be NE with a different win con but feels to strong as NE to me

its mafia/NK pre nerf Retributionist with no team with an old disguiser like quality, not much to say it could work i dont know how to feel about this the goal is bad though

i have a role the Jinn the solves the reporting problem of body swapping if you want me to link it OP, its very different from this role though it just also takes over bodies

Oh nice thanks for the tip! Yeah I've just started posting on here so I didn't really know how to do much of the stuff that actually makes things look good.

Yeah that makes sense. I've been thinking of changing the win condition to something more interesting. But the reason I would keep it as Neutral Chaos is because if an evil was brought back to another person's body, that would throw a wrench into the whole game, as previously confirmed people could now be the pestilence, for example.

This is an issue that would come with this, but I feel like it could be fixed in some way. Not really sure how at the moment though.

Would the trial system not pick that up? Like wouldn't the chat logs show the possessed players name with the Mafioso controlling him off to the side.
I assume as well that upon death the possessed player will have the person who was resurrected into him revealed so people can report the actual bad boy.

I have no clue how you all are putting links hidden in text in your bio and Google won't help.
