You are
Schrodinger
. Each night, you may investigate someone and learn if they are a member of a mafia or not. However, if you do so, there is a 50% chance their alignment will change after you get your answer.

You are
Schrodinger's Cat
. You are both alive and dead and, therefor, cannot be killed at night or by lynching. However, if anyone investigates you, you will become either all-alive or all-dead (equal chance for each).

You have an ability of some sort, but do not know what it is. PM your night choice each night.

Everyone has two votes, but doesn't know it. One vote is cast each night and cannot be changed. The other is cast during the day as normal. It takes X+2 votes (where X is a majority) to lynch someone.

You are the
Head of Human Resources
. You know everyone's role in the game. However, employment law forbids you from telling anybody this information; if you do, you will be fired and sued for everything you own.

Chinese Fire Inspector

Once per game, you may post in the thread
Chinese Fire Drill!
. When you do this, all players will receive new role PMs. You win when all threats to the town are eliminated.

Mod Notes:

When a Chinese Fire Drill is declared, send everyone the same PM they received at the beginning of the game, except the Chinese Fire Inspector. Send him a Vanilla Townie PM. Especially if there are no vanilla townies in the game.

Nanotechnology Bomber

Each night, you may 'tag' a player by infecting them with explosive nanobots. If you vote for anyone you have tagged, then everyone you have tagged blows up at the end of the day. You win when you are the only player left in the game.

That's actually an awesome role, and hence not bad.
... aw, man, I can't even make bad roles right.

You are the
Fairy Godfather
. You are a normal godfather, however, if anyone includes the phrase "I wish you were dead" (or any variation thereof that includes the words "I wish"), your have no choice -- you must nightkill the person they were talking about. If multiple people are wished dead, you may choose which of them to target.

You are
Bizarro #1
. You no am hunting scum. You no want to save town. You am not able to... screw it, I can't do this. You cannot cast votes yourself, however, you have the ability to unvote for other people. When you unvote for someone, their vote will no longer be counted in the vote summary until you unvote someone else. You also must post in Bizarro-speak, or you lose this ability (but still cannot vote). You am lose when scum is inlettered by town.

You are
JFK
. You have nothing to fear but fear itself, and so cannot be lynched. However, if you are night-killed, whoever killed you gains the ability to show up as 'innocent' to any role investigations and a random vanilla townie becomes a miller. Plus, you totally did Marilyn Monroe.

Heh...actually, that was FDR who said that. Close, though. ;)

You are FDR. If the majority of the town votes for you, you won't be lynched, you will instead become president for the next day. You win if you are president for 4 days in a row.
There's a meta-irony to having an FDR quote in a JFK role in Worst Roles Ever. Like having Captain Picard as a role with an Obi-Won Kenobi quote.

Psychotic Jester Lover

You are a Psychotic Jester Lover. You have no special night ability; however, if you are lynched, you will kill whoever has the second-highest number of votes at the time the final vote is cast. If that player also has the PJL role, instead of dying, the two of you kill everyone else in the game and run off into the sunset together. If this happens, you win. If either of you dies and the other survives, you become a Serial Killer.

Hate to bring politics into it.... but...

You are
Ron Paul
. If this game is being played online, the first person to vote for you each day will be shouted down by your thousands of internet fans; their vote will not count for that day, even if they change it. If this game is being played in meatspace, you may not speak as everyone will ignore you anyway. You win when you are are the last candidate standing.

Hrm...

You are the
CSI Medical Examiner
. Whenever someone dies in the town, you're the one who does the autopsy and gives everyone the result.

Town Variation: As long as you are alive, every dead body will be listed with the owner's alignment and the alignment of whoever killed him. If you are dead, this information will not be given.

Mafia Variation: If you are not used to make the Mafia's kill, anyone killed until the next night phase will be revealed to be of Town alignment. When you are killed, the town will find proof that you forged the autopsy results and be told which of the dead players were not Town.

You are
Boardwalk with four houses and a hotel
. Your rent is insanely high and often forces people into bankruptcy. The first time you are lynched, everyone who voted for you loses their vote the next day and you are not killed. You may communicate with Park Place during the night.

Here's one that I used in a power-heavy game:

You are the
VooDoo Queen
. Each night, you may pick two targets: One live, one dead. If the dead target has a night power, you will use it on the living target. You won't be told what the power is; you'll have to figure it out from what happens. Oh, but you can only use each dead person once.

You are
an OMGUS Vigilante
. Each night, you may name a target. If that target votes for you at any time during the next day, he will die during twilight.

Oooo, I like that. Retconning night choice and whatnot may be too much of a pain... but change it to just, say,
The Censor
or
Propagandist
: target a dead player, remove all their posts from the thread... or target a single post by a live player, remove it from the thread...

You re [n]M.C.Hammer[/b]. You may only vote if your vote would be the one that causes a lynch. However, since nobody can touch you, you cannot be targetted at night. You're also broke and wear rediculous pants, so nobody wants to be associated with you. If another group tries to recruit you, they'll think better of it at the last minute.

You
Live in a glass house.
Each night, you may choose to throw a stone at another player; if you do, they will be killed, but the fact you threw the stone will be public knowledge. On the bright side, anyone who targets you at night will also be 'outed' publicly. Don't get changed with the lights on. You win with the town.

You are
The chick from Portal
. Each night, you may choose two targets; if either target uses a power, their target will be ignored and replaced with your other target.

You are the
Paranoid Jester
. If anyone targets you at night, for any reason, they will die. You win, and the game ends, when you are lynched.
