Nearly everyone else alive was either a townie or scum.

You are Qi'Axs'Ar, the Emperor of Korru, the largest nation on Mowfie. Since birth you have been pampered, living the life that any /cows wants to; your life has been, for all purposes, really great. All that recently changed, however. Several people from your own palace have now turned against you, and in the face of revolt, the people demand more rights. Your goal is to protect the empire from those who would wish to destroy it with dangerous democracy, or worse yet, the so-called "oligarchy" that threatens to destroy the harmony your people have experienced until now. You have at your side many tools in this goal, though: first, you have a long, pointy sword which you're fairly certain was passed down from someone's father to someone else's father down to you, which you have no idea how to use. That is not a problem, however: you're fairly certain that enough poking around with it will eventually make it work. Second, you have a very shiny orb. You don't know how the orb works, either, only that it's big and blue, and that as long as you don't lose it you should be pretty safe at night. This week there's a big bluishy star overhead, and supposedly you're pretty much immortal as long as you can see that big blue star. And as long as you have that orb. It's not leaving your pocket though, so it won't be an issue. Last, you look exactly like the revolters, so as long as no one pokes too closely they shouldn't be able to figure out that you look different from everyone else. Which is pretty strange, because you have the most fantastic hair in the Empire. Okay, recap: One, your goal is pretty much the death of everyone else. Two, you can kill someone every night to help you with this. Three, you can't be killed at night. Four, only extremely perceptive people will be able to tell that you're the Emperor. Good luck, and don't mess up your hair - you have a photo shoot next week for /COWS magazine.
You are a nightkill-immune SK, with immunity to regular cops (there may be someone specifically looking for you).
This is your fakeclaim:
Your name is Qi'Axs'Ar; you did not come to the city to celebrate; rather, you are on the run. You commited several minor robberies in a small nation south of the Empire, and as a result you're now in hiding. Luckily, no one recognizes you here, but you're worried. Your people have very good relations with the Empire, specifically because they are an empire; therefore, you have the best odds working with the Democracy. You win if no threats to the people's safety remains.
Mafia:

You are Lei'ha, a member of His Majesty's Royal Dancing Squad. Anyway, you're
psyched
about dancing for His Majesty - even thoe there's three of you (the other two are [~~~~~] and [~~~~~]) you can still tango with the best, in what has been described as "pretty much the coolest dance routine ever" by /COWS magazine, which qualifies you to most as the best. Recently, however, your leader, Vichi, has said something about some sort of cool "take-over" thing, and he claims it'll help you get on lots of magazine covers. You honestly could care less about that - entire magazines exist just to put your picture on their cover! You could say you're like Martha Stewart, except without the insider trading, or Oprah, without the, um... Tom Cruise on your couch. As far as you're concerned, you pretty much have it made, which is really cool. Anyway, every night you need to help your fellow dance-mates decide on someone to get rid of, which pretty much preoccupies anything else you might do. That's unfortunate, because the only thing you ever do is be glamorous, and you do it really well. Nevertheless, you always look good on camera - so good, in fact, that anyone who tries to figure out who you're working for will decide that you're hoping for democracy.
The facade works so well, though, that there are some secrets you keep from everyone - including His Majesty's Royal Dancing Squad. You are secretly a member of the nefariously largish Super Explosion Cult, a group with thousands of members who have infiltrated the entire world. The SEC has but one goal: total annihilation of a world ruined by the /lost. This is done in a variety of manners, most of them involving as much death as possible. Therefore, your death isn't very helpful to their ultimate goal of total takeover followed by nuclear holocaust (This is further hindered by the fact that the SEC has yet to develop nuclear weaponry...), so don't. If, when the battle for government ends, the only living players are members of the SEC, you will win with them. You know that there are two other SEC members in the area, and that they all know that one of their own is a member of His Majesty's Royal Dancing Squad. They are all aware of the SEC's ultimate goal, and how it affects their ability to win.
You are in the Mafia, a Godfather, and in the SEC.
This is your fakeclaim:
You are Lei'ha, the only living descendant of the great /lost artist Kimma; you came to the festival because you heard several of your ancestor's works were to be on display. You don't take sides in battles, but you've decided your best odds are with the Democracy. You win when no evil remains.
You are a townie.

Serous
You are Vichi, the captain of His Majesty's Royal Dancing Squad. Right now your only goal is to kill lots of people though, a goal entirely unrelated to dancing. One of those people is the Emperor, who rules over most of the planet. Right now he's powerless to stop you, though you merely need to locate him and kill him. To do this you have several tools: first, you have two other people, both in His Majesty's Royal Dancing Squad, [~~~~~] and [~~~~~] to help you. Make sure they don't die in the war to come. Second, you have a bow. You were trained with it when you were young, and you have deadly proficiency. You can eliminate one person every night with it. Third, you have your startling intellect. Use it to your advantage. There are those out there who make it their goal to end your life. End their lives more quickly, and victory will be yours.
You are in the Mafia.
This is your fakeclaim:
Your name is Vichi, and you're a traveling merchant. You decided that the capital was a good location to sell things, since thousands of people have met there to celebrate. You were not selling the things traded in your local village when the explosion went off due to you watching the events of the evening - so you unfortunately are without your village's native fighting knives, which might come in handy. However, you trust the ability of your fellow people to destroy whatever evil is attacking, so you should be safe. You win when all players alive are members of the Democracy.
You are a townie.

You are Kraff, the newest member of His Majesty's Royal Dancing Squad. Since your childhood you have devoted your life to mastering the way of the dance, and nothing will stop you from becoming the best. His Majesty's Royal Dancing Squad was an easy way to get the skills you needed, and you're willing to go through with this plan your allies [~~~~~] and [~~~~~] have come up with. Powerful magic can bring you back to life in the event of your death, but only if your fellow dancers survive to do that which is necessary for it. You bring one important thing, though: you have behind your bland-looking cloak hauntingly powerful dance skills, so powerful that all will tremble. In fact, people have become paralyzed upon seeing your dance, and you're pretty good at reproducing it. Every night you may dance for someone, and they will be so entranced that they will be unable to move.
You are in the Mafia, a Roleblocker.
This is your fakeclaim:
You are Kraff, a soldier in the Imperial Army. However, while you are an excellent marksman, on the first day of the Light of Night festival the only weapon you have is your bayonet - all else is decorational. However, you can still use that a bit; even though it isn't fatal, it is a good way of keeping someone down for a bit. Every night you can strike someone with the bayonet and they will be unable to do anything that night. Though you are a soldier in the Imperial Army, you serve the people, so you have aligned yourself with the Democracy. You win when no threats remain.
You are a roleblocker.

Justin125
You are known as Mazia to your people. They are a very secretive people, and tend to avoid relations with other large cities. Supposedly you are from the northern part of the continent with some sort of king in it - but who that matters to, I don't know. Certainly not yourself. These people seem to want a common goal of overthrowing the government; so be it. Your allegiances lie with no one; may as well go with those most likely to survive. You win as long as the democracy wins.
However, behind the secretive, ambiguous, and above all apathetic way you see the world is a single allegiance. You are in line with a group of people known as the "Super Explosion Cult", who have goals you don't particularly care about. Only one thing about them interests you: they have an unusual plan to kill lots of very important people, including a few people you want revenge on. What that will involve doesn't matter; your life is meaningless to you; only what you accomplish matters. You've noticed the extremely secret emblem of the SEC a few times since you were brought to this place, so you know there are others here. There are two of them, and one of them is most definitely one of the oligarchal rebellion. They've probably determined the same. Whatever they're planning, it will most certainly occur if they and possibly you are the last people left of this; you'll win with the SEC if all the people left at the end are SEC members.
You are a townie in the SEC.

Tyfo
Your name is Faela. You are from the Southern Desert, a place warm by day and cold by night. The city was always hot, and this place is always cold. You are, it could be said, totally out of your element. But that is okay. You don't know why these people are attacking the Emperor, but you assume it has something to do with a desire to take over. You yourself are part of a royal lineage of your small wandering group of nomads; when your father passes from this world you will take over, leading your people. You've no interest in anything else, only knowing how you can effectively follow in his footsteps. Your people are part of the Empire, however, so you will follow what the majority of them follow: a desire for new leadership, governed by the people. You win when all who would stop that from happening are dead.
What your father doesn't know, though, is that the vile disease that the /lost brought has allowed its way into this world, and that you are part of an underground resistance to destroy all the evil that they have done, even if it means killing everyone. Right now, your goals include organization, so if you and any of the other members of this group, the Super Explosion Cult, or the SEC, are the only ones alive at the end of the game, you will win with them. There is one member of the Oligarchy and one other member of the Democracy in the SEC.
You are a townie in the SEC.

Roffman
You are Gamoz, a thief native to the city streets near the castle. As a thief you are merely trying to make a living; your parents died when you were young, and you have had no education. You are but a victim of a bad system, which must be fixed. You, unfortunately, look suspicious to all, however, since you're a thief; if anyone tries to determine who you are working for, they will assume that since you steal you are against your people and believe you to be working against them. Despite this, you win when the only remaining people are those who want democracy.
You are a miller.

armlx
Your name is Jezan. You are a hunter of... rather large animals. You have killed the most dangerous beasts, some of them large enough to crush small villages, both for glory and to protect those who would otherwise be killed by these creatures. You would do the same now to those who are trying to kill innocent people, but you unfortunately don't have a weapon. However, you will work to stop these vile people with the one weapon you have - a rope. You win when these threats to the peoples' safety are gone.
You are a townie.

QuantumFruit
You are Komenu, a young, ambitious politician in a large city northwest of the capital. Your people follow you because of your sharp mind and intelligent leadership; everywhere you go you try to win the hearts of those around you, and this unusual place will be no exception. You can influence those around you, and even control them; every night you can take control of another person's vote. The next day they will have no vote and you will have two votes. You want to gain more control over the people, and therefore win when all who oppose the Democracy are dead.
You are a vote thief.

Capricious
Your name is M'si'koh. Your people are largely disconnected from the Empire. Your only goal here is the death of the fewest possible people, and it is your belief that anyone who would wish to end lives meaninglessly should be stopped. Luckily, you have a way to make this happen: you are in possession of a small relic previously belonging to someone who tried to recruit you into an odd group. That person is now in prison, and your device seems to be capable of locating people in this group. Every night you may target someone and I will tell you if they are in this alternate group.
You are a cop who finds people in the alternate scum group.

somestrangeflea
You are Multu of the Eastern Cavern; your people are some of the most powerful in the world; three of those in the original battle against the /lost eventually settled down in the Eastern Cavern. You are all very good at finding and stopping evil, and you bring those skills to this place. Every night you may determine if one person is in the Oligarchy. I will tell you if they are. You win if all evil is defeated.
You are a cop who finds people in the Oligarchy.

AniX
You are Lezar, a nomad of sorts who has been traveling through the jungle for years, looking for some sign of the rumored green orb. You have yet to find it, though, and while you were in the middle of one such hunt, not in the jungle, but in the city square, you were whisked away to this strange location. The green orb, along with the red orb and the blue orb, provides protection to its bearer, but unlike the others, it provides not liberty from physical harm, but liberty from crime. You believe to kill innocents is the ultimate crime, and while you are suspicious of the method you've been given to bring justice, you will do everything you can here to make sure that the people are given justice. You are aligned with the Democracy.
You are a townie.
Each player received a cloak picture, though the cloak color had no significance. Obviously, as you can see, the only non-red herring in the flavor was the story about the orbs, but surprisingly that was about the only flavor people
didn't
decide was setup-relevant >.>
Hint: in future xyzzy games, assume that flavor has nothing to do with the game. 99% of the time, you'll be right.
