HISTORY

Wild Eye Coyote, a slightly crazed yet cunning seer, and is the last real superhero left. Why? His arch-nemesis, The Dark Monarch, an evil butterfly bent on destroying the world has been killing all the quality heroes. Wild Eye looks now to hold tryouts to put together a new team of heroes in the fight against the Dark Monarch.

However, the recruitments don't go so well, as apparently all that's left is a bunch of d-list superheroes, with completely useless powers. Like...

Major Hot-trousers, who has the ability to light his pants on fire, or the Scissor sisters, twins who are exceptionally good at arts and crafts. They will be all that stands in the way between The Dark Monarch, her evil minions, and the fate of the world.

ROLES

GOOD

Seer - choses a person to dream of each NIGHT. If the seer dreams of the cobbler, xe will only see an ordo.

Ranger- each NIGHT choses someone to protect. The Ranger may protect xemself once and can not protect the same person 2 nights in a row.

Hunter- each NIGHT choses someone to hunt. If attacked, and the hunter has chosen a villain, the villain will die with the hunter. If xe choses an innocent, only the hunter will die. The Hunter can not kill the renegade bear. During the DAY, the Hunter may change the pick from the NIGHT before once. If lynched, the Hunter will take with xem whoever xe picked, regardless of role, and if the renegade bear was chosen during the DAY, the bear will die too.

BFFs- 2 people who are best friends forever, they may pm during both DAY and NIGHT phases. They both can not be known at the same time. Meaning if one is going to be lynched and decides to reveal, the other can not say "I'm the other BFF." If, one dies than the other may reveal. (The only exception to this is if the seer dreams of and reveals both their identities)

X ordos - vote each DAY.

EVIL

3 villains- normal baddies, who choose one player to kill at night. They desire the Dark Monarch's victory. (Firefly, Gust, and Pain) Killed by lynching, the hunter, or the shapeshifter.

Shapeshifter- The Dark Monarch's first attempt to corrupt a hero goes terribly wrong. She loses control, and the person has become a shape-shifting renegade bear. The Bear is a complete loner, who now only desires his/her own victory. The bear will chose one person to kill each NIGHT. The bear can be stopped by the Ranger, but at NIGHT can not be killed by the Hunter. The bear can die by lynching, or if the Hunter is lynched during the DAY and Hunter has chosen the bear. Also,can be killed by lynching, the vilains, and can be discovered by the seer.

Cobbler- will count as an innocent, but wants the Dark Monarch's victory, hoping xe will be rewarded. The cobbler will not be able to find out who the villains are

RULES

++wilwa

You get one retraction every DAY...to retract

-No double lynches. 2-way ties will be broken by a coin toss. 3 or more way ties by a hat pull.

-If you don't vote 2 days in a row, you will be mod-fired. Unless in the admin thread, or by PM you informed myself or wilwa ahead of time, about not being around/able to vote.

*Heroes win when all the villains are killed, and The Dark Monarch is reduced to a weak, meager, existance because of spilling out her powers.

*The Dark Monarch, and her villains win, when there are more (or equal) of them than innocents.

Yeah, hopefully this game will last longer than the last. But that game sure was intense.

I plan to wipe the floor of mine enemies this time, whoever they may be.
