Welcome to the game; you are the Stand-By
ALIGNMENT: Town
GENERIC: Backup
WIN CONDITION: All Scum and malicious third-parties (if any) have been vanquished.
BACKGROUND:
Ah, acting... there's no job quite like it. As a professional actor, you get to crack jokes, sword fight with the dastardly villain, and engage in simulated intimacy with your comely co-star. Or, in your case, you get to stand in one place while they get the lights set so that the real actor can come in and do those things. You're a stand-by, and your primary talent is the ability to stand extremely still.
So job satisfaction is sort of limited, but you continue to hold tight to your dream of someday getting to carry out blocking, develop a character... maybe even say a line while the cameras are rolling.
And now you've landed in the perfect situation: a movie where the other characters keep getting killed. You know each line, and everyone's cue, and sooner or later, as the body count rises, you're bound to get your shot.
Of course, you may be limited by the fact that you are a horrible actor, but hey - keep dreaming that dream!
POWERS:
1. Once per game, by either Day or Night, you may target any Town player who has died. You will then take on their role in its entirety for exactly one Day/Night cycle. You will have access to their information and full slate of powers.
2. At the end of one full Day/Night cycle, you will return to being Vanilla Town.
