Welcome to the game; you are the The Crooked Local Politician
ALIGNMENT: Town
GENERIC: Vanilla
WIN CONDITION: All Scum and malicious third-parties (if any) have been vanquished.
BACKGROUND:
You are that staple of all horror movies, the corrupt, grasping, narcissistic, borderline sociopathic local selectman, who hopes to use the inevitable deaths of dozens of attractive young people as a springboard to greater heights of popularity and influence. In a better era, you'd have been played by veteran character actor J.T. Walsh, and you'd have been a rocking third-party role with any number of clever and interesting ways of affecting game events.
Unfortunately, the estimable Mr. Walsh is no longer with us, and this movie would have been way beneath him anyway. Your role has been dramatically abbreviated, such that instead of corrupt and dangerous you are now merely crooked and harmless. Your destiny is most likely a bloody-but-comic death scene sometime late in the film's first act, where some Demon gives you bloody comeuppance for your petty crimes in life.
Of course, you still have your native charm and finely honed sense of self-preservation, and who knows? They may help you survive, at that. Perhaps you could even turn out to be the rare Crooked Politician Who Saves the Day With an Ostensibly Selfish Action That Turns Out to Accidentally Be the Best Move in a Difficult situation, and earn an expanded role in the inevitable second sequel.
Good luck!
POWERS:
1. You have no special powers, abilities, or information. Alas, J.T. Walsh.
