I might do something based on some of these roles in about 6 months or so...theres some I really want to use (Politican, Horny 13-year-old-male, more that I don't exactly remember), and many can be used with easy tweaks.

You are
Tim Kring, Heroes Writer
. Who cares about giving answers? All you care about are questions. Every night, you may investigate someone. You will get a result of "guilty" or "innocent"...after the game ends.

You are
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
you will fall hopelessly heads over heels in love with another player in this game and you may spend each night writing a letter to them to desperately plead for their hand to you in marriage, should the object of your love die, you will instantly fall in love with another player. Also if you have not convinced the object of your affection to marry you by the end of night three, you will commit suicide in despair.

You are
Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller
You learned to became somewhat of a doctor due to the lack of health insurance coverage in your area, you may protect one player a night from death, however you are madly in love with Goethe, who seems to be completely unaware and unwilling to return your affection, thus in a fit of jealous rage you vowed to kill all he chooses to court, you may make one nightkill per night by poison. However if Goethe stays happily married for 2 straight days, you will feel overcome with depression and commit suicide.

You are
J. J Abrams
, the writer of Lost! If the game ever seems to get boring(24 hours without a post during the day), you are allowed to throw in one completely random plot twist out of nowhere in order to boost ratings and make viewers wonder "WTF is going on" You win when you have managed to tangle the plotline into a completely screwed up mess and then somehow extricate it into an end that makes sense(You win when all other players are dead).
You may choose from the following:

A Giant Polar Bear Barrels through the town and mauls a player(death)

A Large Column of Black Smoke reaches through the town and grabs a player(disappeared)

A Player that disappeared suddenly reappears in the camp(reappearance)

A Meteorite smashes into the town and kills people(randomly chosen people die, 1-6 possible)

A complete stranger shows up in the game by crashing his/her helicopter into the town(a new player shows up)

That annoying guy that bugs everybody has a little accident handling dynamite(Player with highest post count dies)

That extra that nobody notices randomly drowns in the ocean for no good reason despite heroic rescue efforts(Player with the lowest post count dies)

You are a dedicated townie. At the start of the game, you choose a player. You must vote for that player for the remainder of the game, even if this player dies or gets replaced.

You are a Tracker, you have a 50% chance of getting that your target took an action, 50% chance of getting that they did not take an action, whether or not they did is irrelevant to your result.

You are a Mafia Goon, however your personal code prevents you from killing, so you cannot perform the Mafia's nightkill.

You are
Jack Bauer
. If the game is not completed within 24 real life hours, everybody dies.

You are
A Boy Band
. Every post you make must be exactly the same as the last one. If you try to post something 'darker and edgier', you career will die.

You are
Facebook
. If one person votes for you, 75% of the remaining players will also jump on the bandwagon even if they don't think it's a good idea.

You are a
nacroleptic kitten
, and as such one of the cutest and most pitiful things on this planet. The mod just wants to hug you and squeeze you and name you george and cuddle you while you make those cute little squeaky kitten noises. And pet your soft silky kitten fur. And become all sad when you suddenly fall asleep during a game of chase the string. And give you milk and tuna every day. And have you serve as a head-warmer at night and make adorable little purring noises...oh...wait...where was I going with this? Oh. Yeah. But, unfortunately, the mod can't bask in your ultimate cuteness, as there are evil horrible bad people around who kill kittens. Like Stephan Lynch. He wants to anally violate you with a stick of dynamite. So it's your job, as the face of all that is cute in the world, to get rid of this maniac. Only you're prone to random fits of curling up in a fluffball (randomized post restrictions that the mod will send you daily schedules of), and being too gosh darned cute to be taken seriously (half of your posts must consist of nothing more than cute little kitten noises. The other half must be typed in LOLCats format. With pictures), and not being allowed to vote (what with not being human and all.) But you're imunne to day lynches (who'd want to kill a cute fluffy thing like you?). Sadly the mod can't watch your back at night, so don't go wandering too far out of your cat tree. You win when the mod finally moves somewhere that allows pets.

You are
Stephan Lynch
and you kill kittens in horrible bad evil nasty ways. Like making them snort cocaine and the like. You are a bad horrible evil person. Each night you may kill one of these adorable fluffballs because, sadly, those damned animal shelters think "putting them to sleep" is a good thing. But your kill will only work if you think of a sufficiently ridiculous and improbably, possibly Rube Goldberg Machine like, method of killing them. Send your nightly plan to the mod, and maybe it will work. You don't have a win condition though, because the mod thinks kittens are too cute for words, though.

Time Bomb - You win if you are alive at the beginning of Night 5, or if the thread gets to 50 pages (whichever comes first). Whenever you win, you may kill up to 5 other players, the game continues until a second place is determined.

Wouldn't "you die if anybody uses bold type" be more appropriate?

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.
