What is bad, what is evil? When everything around me is less good than all?!
Anime Mafia Roles
Town
Aigis, Persona 3
You will heal any player that visits you but roleblock them the following night.
Anya Forger, Spy x Family
Every night, you may target a player and choose a new target for them. That player will have their action doubled the following night.
Aquamarine Hoshino, Oshi no Ko
Upon investigation, you will be found as Mafia. Every night, you may target a player. You will roleblock them and create a private channel where you both may speak for the next day and night phase.
Asa and Yoru, Chainsaw Man
Every day, you may choose a mode: Asa or Yoru. If you choose the Asa phase, then you may mark someone during the night, making them an ascetic. If you choose the Yoru phase, then you may kill a marked person during the night by turning them into a weapon that you use to kill another player.
You cannot be in one phase or the other for three consecutive nights.
Eris Greyrat, Mushoku Tensei
You must include a “-nya” in every post, lest you be vanillized. Every night, target a player. For every player they successfully target, gain a Charge, maxing out at 3 Charges. Upon reaching 3 Charges, your action becomes a kill and expends all Charges.
Hina Amano, Weathering with You
Upon investigation, you will be found as Mafia. Every night, you may target a player; this will make them loud for the following night and RB them the night after.
Maki Shijo, Kaguya-sama: Love is War
Every night, you may target a player. They will be RBed tonight but empowered the following two nights.
Sephiroth, Final Fantasy VII
Upon investigation, you will appear as Mafia. Every night, target a player: you will recieve feedback. Every phase, you may submit a guess as to your role’s true nature: you will be informed if that guess is correct.
Actual Role: Every night, investigate a player and receive a random chess square. It will be a black square if the player is town and white if the player is mafia.
Serena, Pokemon X&Y
Every night, you may choose a target and redirect all of their actions to yourself.
Suletta Mercury, The Witch from Mercury
Every night, you may jail a target, RBing them but protecting them from harm.
Mafia
Aventurine, Honkai Star Rail
Every day, you may choose a player. Upon the end of day, you and your target will be made unable to speak in any chats and will enter into a modified game of Yahtzee within a private chat.
You both will roll 5 six-sided dice, after which you may choose as many dice as you like to be “locked”. The dice that are not “locked” will be rerolled, at which point you may choose to lock any of the new rolls or unlock any of the old rolls. All unlocked dice will be rerolled one final time, and the winner will be the player with the highest final sum. Both dice rolls at the end of each round will be revealed to both parties.
If you win, your target will be strongmanned and janitored. If you lose, you will be strongmanned.
You have advantage on all rolls pertaining to your game; as such, every round, you will be given two possible rolls and can choose which one you want.
Homura Akemi, Madoka Magica
Upon death, you will flip as your fakeclaim, Madoka, for one phase.
Once per game, you may choose to die, skipping that phase. If you die in this way, your fake flip will last two extra phases
Fakeclaim: Madoka Kaname, Madoka Magica
Every phase, you may choose a target. If they die, you will die in their place. If that target is town, all kills during the next night phase will fail.
Shirou Emiya, Fate/stay Night: Heaven’s Feel
Once per game, write a new rule to be added permanently to the game. It must be approved by me, and it must affect all players in the game.
3P
Mahoraga, Jujutsu Kaisen
Your objective is to be the last player standing. You cannot win alongside town or mafia, and neither faction can win while you live.
When you are targeted by an action, learn that player’s roletext and add it to your Wheel. At any point during the night, you may lock in up to three roletexts in your Wheel: you will gain the properties of all three roletexts for the next two phases (night and day). This will not affect alignment-based metrics, such as cop results and win conditions.
Your Wheel starts off containing only your fakeclaim.
Fakeclaim: Stocking, Panty and Stocking
Every night, you may target a player and kill them. If you maintained an FPS of at least 8 during the last two phases, this kill will become a strongman kill.
Design philosophy was:
Town - Works for their own benefit, often at the cost of another player
Mafia - Sacrifices themself for the benefit of another
3P - Merely does as their master orders
Design philosophy for my role was:
Killing yourself

WHY WAS MY POWER JUST TO DIE

You got a fake flip.
That is, like, one of the best abilities in the entire game, especially given its size.
To promote your political manifesto? Duh
(I know why it was and the role could hypothetically be useful but I think in practice you only ever use that power if you know you’re already dying which isn’t very interesting)

(So the utility of my role was pretty much juuuust a passive and as the best-positioned mafia member a useless passive)

It is frequently mechanically incorrect to just die. I don’t care what other social shenanigans you can pull off with it. I’m not sure it’s ever worth it unless you believe you’re already eating a town vig shot.

Step 1. Have tracker in game.
Step 2. Have a different role that can execute auto-death but this isn’t revealed on flip
Step 3. Track a visiting good role going into them
Step 4. The role triggers
Step 5. Evil success
I mean, QBCord had a game where mafia could write a fake flip and use it to replace another player’s flip, so they replaced a town member’s flip with a mafia flip and used it to push everyone who defended that town player.

Yeah like it’s not a net positive to die even if you get a guaranteed free misexecution from it. And that’s a best case scenario really
So I knew the power of that information and was hesitant to give that without some serious drawbacks.

Right but that doesn’t involve killing a mafia member

In hindsight, yeah.
Like, I think the only mafia ability that really did anything in Anime Mafia was the Aventurine ability.

My kill protection will be melted with strongman and ninja
If you think dying will help your team, literally go into a day with your partners planning to hell bus. That’s infinitely better. Choosing to die without getting a kill in return literally gives town ~optimal KP. Whatever utility you get from it has to be worth an additional kill, but even then because you’re shifting the kill schedule back, you’re making all full miseliminations more difficult because you have fewer votes collectively than you otherwise would have.
