I have this weird fantasy AU for Gnosia in my head, where Yuri and Setsu (and the others) get transported to old fashioned village where some of the villagers had been cursed to become bloodthirsty Werewolves each night. And their only option is to hang one person each day and hope for the best.
Basically, based on the more classical Werewolf game.
Doubt I'll ever have the time or the energy to write anything for it, but I thought I could share how the roles would work.
- Villager: The Crew equivalent. Simple and plain.
- Seer: The Engineer equivalent. Able to determine once per day if a villager had been inflicted with the Werewolf curse.
- Medium: The Doctor equivalent. Able to call upon the spirit of the person hanged and determine their human/werewolf status.
- Guardian Angel: Still the same, just able to bless another person with the immunity to death by Werewolf attack for one night. And only this cause of death.
- Guard Duty is still Guard Duty. 2 people who stayed behind in the village and thus can't be werewolves.
- Traitor: The AC Follower equivalent.
- Wraith: The Bug equivalent. A malevolent spectre out to curse the village with total calamity. During the day, the sun's power causes them to have bodies of flesh and blood, allowing them to be hanged. But under the night's veil, they assume their true ghostly forms, intangible and unable to be killed by the wolves. But if a Seer looks into them, their essence is purged.
Plus, I thought of how some of the game's other roles could be implimented:
- Lookout: A villager who is able to use the watch tower to try and spy on the werewolves. This role is a bit like a fusion of Guard Duty and Engineer. They have the watch tower's key, which werewolves can't steal from them without breaking, allowing them to reveal themselves as a Definite Human should they please. Each night, they can choose if they want to go up their tower and see if they can spot the wolves. But if they do so, they run the risk of being spotted themselves and killed by the wolves. And since dying by a falling tower isn't technically dying by Werewolf, the Guardian Angel can't save them if they mess up. The higher the user's Stealth, the more likely they are to survive. The second stat they need is Intuition. The higher that stat is, the more detailed and accurate their report can be. Because unlike the Engineer, their findings can be vague and even inacurate. Like "I saw 2 wolves" when there's still 3 at play, or "one of the wolves had green fur" which could apply to both Yuri and Stella for example.
- Chief: A villager who get 2 votes each meeting. If they're hanged, they get to choose who becomes the new Chief. A veritable magnet for mindgames and I know you know I know scenarios. Like, a doubted Werewolf Chief giving the role to a human, knowing the town would be likely to hang them next. Or is that what they want you to think?
- Witch: A chaotic neutral role, who will join whichever side ends up winning. They have 1 revival potion and 1 poison, which they can use at night. Both can't be used in the same night. But they can use the revival potion on themselves. Whoever was killed by the poison will clearly be identified as such.
- Hunter: In contrast to the magical and supernatural roles, the Hunter is just a human with a gun and 1 silver bullet. If the werewolves attack them, they will kill one of them before the remaining wolves kill them. Obviously, they survive if there's only 1 werewolf present. But if they die, the others will hear the sound of the gunshot, telling them one of the 2 victims was a wolf. But like the Bug, they won't know which one.
- Lovebird's Curse: Based on the Cupid role, this "role" consists of 2 randomly selected characters afflicted with said curse. At first glance, it might not seem so bad. But it's not actually love, but rather a form of brainwashing causing the duo to become madly obsessive with each other. If one of them dies, the other will take their life in response. Both of them know the other's exact role. If they're both on the same side, they need to make sure the enemy team doesn't catch on to them and get a 2 for 1 special. But if one of them is a human and the other a Werewolf, then their goal is to kill everyone else. During the meetings, they will never vote against each other and are quick to defend the other when they're doubted. Also their "love" is at best shallow and superficial, and at worst they become mutual enablers of their "perfect beloved's" worst qualities.
