    Hades Mafia

    hades_wallpaper_by_mizoresyo_degwzhx-fullview.jpg

    War is breaking out between the Olympians and the God of the Underworld, Hades. It has come to the attention of the Pantheon that Persephone was abducted, and this is a slight that simply will not be tolerated. An Olympian will hold a grudge for a literal eternity, after all ... however, in their arrogance, they have underestimated their exiled relative for far too long, and toppling him will be no easy task.

    In the meantime, the Prince of the Underworld, Zagreus, senses an opportunity of a lifetime and looks to pursue his own agenda of freedom from the oppressive reign of his father... Can he navigate this conflict by befriending both the Olympian and Cthonic gods?


    Rules

    - The primary town alignment is Olympus Aligned
    -
    If you have multiple roles, you may only use one role per night phase, unless otherwise stated
    - The game will follow majority lynch
    - Day 1 will last 48 hours, and night 1 will last 24 hours. I reserve the right to adjust phase lengths after this according to my own needs or needs of the game.
    - No flaming, cheesy play, wagers, rep out requests in thread etc. There may be mechanics in game to punish such activity, but I reserve the right to intervene if necessary. There will be no further warnings
    - Night actions will follow my action resolution order, to be posted ahead of Night 1
    - Bolded actions will be considered final and admissible if all other roles are in. If you wish to enter placeholder actions, you may italicise them, and I will use them if night ends before you finalise.
    - This game contains no bastard elements such as cults, jesters or death millers
    - You must play to your win condition at all times
    - Unless otherwise stated, blocked shots will not be refunded
    - I have taken steps to FITZproof the game - you will not solve it through flavour (I've had to take license with the alignments in game for reasons which will be obvious to anyone with source material knowledge) or setup. I highly advise you judge players on their individual merits and nothing more.
    - Scum players have been supplied with fakes of indeterminate quality, and where appropriate, clarification around certain mechanics which may otherwise leave them unintentionally vulnerable

    Congratulations, you are Asterius, Underworld Aligned!The fated Bull of Minos, you were slain in single combat by the King of Athens, Theseus.

    - Roleblocker (You may target a player at night and prevent them from taking any night action that phase)

    You win when you control the voting majority.​

    Congratulations, you are Dusa, Olympus Aligned! The severed head of a gorgon, you have somehow found employ in the House of Hades as an attending maid - you keep the house tidy after Cerberus' frequent rampages. You have an obvious crush on Zagreus, but are far too shy to do anything about it, instead choosing to bury yourself in your work ...

    In this game, you have no roles.

    You win when all threats to Olympus are defeated.

    Congratulations, you are Orpheus, Olympus Aligned! Having refused to sing for Hades, you were banished to the lowest pits of Tartarus, however after intervention from Zagreus, you were reinstated as the court musician. Despite this, you still refuse to sing for you miss your muse, Eurydice, so dearly. A persistently forlorn and melancholy individual, you will nonetheless do your best to support the Olympians against your jailer in the hope you may one day be reunited with your love ...

    In this game, you have no roles.

    Zagreus, Prince of the Underworld
    Notepasser, Developer


    1700416391034.png



    Congratulations, you are Zagreus, Olympus Aligned! The son of Hades, you are determined to leave your life toiling in the oppressive gloom behind, and have rallied some of your friends and fellow servants in the House of Hades to your cause. You’ve heard a rumour of your mother dwelling above the surface, and you’re determined to use this opportunity to escape and reunite with her. Nyx, goddess of the night has brokered an introduction between yourself and Athena, wisest of the Olympians, and they seek to aid you … but beware, an Olympian is nothing if not fickle, and their affections rarely last forever …

    In this game, you have the following roles:

    - Notepasser (You may target a player at night and send them a private communication which will be received in the morning. This communication is subject to blocking, redirection etc as normal)
    - Developer (Should you make contact with an Olympian who isn’t already favouring another, you will gain their favour and a corresponding role for future use. Other outcomes are possible here too ...)

    You win when all threats to Olympus have been defeated.

    He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword ...

    Ares, God of War
    1x Duellist

    1700417080027.png



    Congratulations, you are Ares, Olympus Aligned! You value the martial prowess of man more than the stuffy company of your brethren, and you are something of an outcast among your own as a result. Amongst your family, you are alone in worshipping Chaos, and even have respect for the Cthonic gods and their work concerning death. You revel in uncontrolled violence and bloodshed, and you take a passing interest in the fates, which considering your diametric opposition with Athena, is a source of commonality.

    In this game, you have the following roles:

    - 1x Duellist (You may target a player during the day and provided there are 12 or more hours remaining in the phase, you may initiate a duel between yourself and your target. Players will vote for whom they wish to win, and at the end of the day phase, the player with the least votes will die. In the event of a tie, you will win the duel. This duel will run alongside the main lynch wagon)

    You win when all threats to Olympus have been defeated.

    It is now Night 2. You have a maximum of 24 hours.

    Persephone, Goddess of Springtime
    Hunted Survivor, 1x Refiller

    1700415983144.png



    Congratulations, you are Persephone, Persephone Aligned! You are the root cause of this war between Olympus and the Underworld, and you have hidden yourself away near the Temple of Styx, the midway point between these two warring factions. Unable to bear the grief of your son being stillborn, you took your leave of the House of Hades, and now that your son is attempting to track you down, the Olympians believe they can leverage him and you to end the war … before Demeter scrubs the land of all life.

    You are ultimately a free spirit and cannot abide living in effective captivity, and you are determined to avoid the pursuit of your mother, even it means returning below the earth …

    In this game, you have the following roles:

    - Hunted (You are being pursued relentlessly, and will be given a fake identity to avoid capture)
    - Survivor (You can choose to side with either side of this conflict ultimately, so long as you can avoid capture. You must survive until endgame to win, and the game cannot end while your pursuer remains alive.
    - 1x Refiller (You may target a player and restore 1x shot of any active role they have (will only work on roles that began with 2x or greater shots)

    There may be another way …

    For now, avoid defeat by surviving.

    All protective roles are disabled tonight (Any role that can affect the ability of it's target to survive various killing actions)

    1700418552274.png



    Congratulations, you are Sisyphus, Olympus Aligned! An old king who is the only mortal to ever deceive Thanatos not once, but twice, you are now serving an eternal punishment at the hand of the Erinyes. Condemned to push your companion 'Bouldy' (an inanimate boulder that you have taken on as your friend and confidant) uphill, only to be returned to the start would break a lesser man, but you have resolved to use your time to ponder the tyrannical, selfish life you led, and become a wiser man in death.

    In this game, you have the following roles:

    - Positivity PR (You must maintain an over the top positive disposition in ALL posts you make. Repeated violations will attract the ire of the Furies ... you would be well advised not to do this.)

    You win when all threats to Olympus are defeated.

    2x Non-consecutive Cop

    Congratulations, you are Athena, Olympus Aligned! The daughter of Zeus, you are on the surface, a patient, intelligent and clear minded goddess, who is sincere in her wishes to aid Zagreus and end this ridiculous conflict, however deep down, you see him as a tool in a grand strategic game. You are notoriously at odds with the goddess of love, Aphrodite, as your values are akin to water and oil.

    In this game, you have the following roles:

    - 2x Non-consecutive Cop (You may target a player at night and learn their alignment. You may not use this role during consecutive night phases)

    You win when all threats to Olympus have been defeated.

    The Champion had finally been defeated ...

    Theseus, Champion of Elysium
    Rolecop, Favoured of the Gods, Loyalty

    1700414654766.png



    Congratulations, you are Theseus, Champion of Elysium, Underworld Aligned! In life, you were a true hero, vanquishing the minotaur in the Labyrinth, and the fact that even Hades regards you highly is telling … Unfortunately, you have descended into an arrogant, insufferable wretch of a man. Endlessly bragging of your exploits and prowess, you consider yourself unbeatable in single combat, let alone when partnered with your great rival turned brother-in-arms, Asterius.

    Despite all of this, what isn’t in doubt is that you were once of a noble spirit, inviting Asterius to join you in paradise for your stories were intertwined, and the Olympians still look upon you with favour, such is there fickle nature …

    In this game, you have the following roles:

    - Rolecop (You may target a player at night, and learn their identity and role. If you target Persephone, and Hades still lives, your alignment will be presented with a choice. This aspect of your role will be redacted on death.
    - Favoured of the Gods (If you target an Olympian who isn’t already favouring another, you will be empowered with a buff according to the Olympian targeted. NOTE: This role is NOT safe to claim). You begin this game with the favour of Hermes, and you may may empower your Rolecop shot with 1x Hider modifier (you will be untargetable during a night phase this is used) – you may only ‘store’ the favour of one god at a time)
    - Loyalty (If Asterius falls before you, you will be enraged and your role will be amended)

    You win when you control the voting majority.

    *****

    At the end of Day 1, Theseus gained 1x Strongman, and the ability to store multiple Olympian buffs.
