I am... Isaac Mendez
You are Isaac Mendez, an evolved human with an extraordinary ability. You are a struggling artist in New York who's life seems to be falling apart due to your addiction to heroin. Your girlfriend just doesn't understand that you need to do heroin in order to manifest your ability. Your ability to paint the future. Originally deemed as evil, due to the fact that you mostly portrayed tragedies, you have accepted the fact that you can paint the future and have taken it as your own personal responsibility to make sure that the tragedies you paint are prevented.
Powers- Once per day you will receive a vision of something that will happen in the future. In order to convey this vision to any other person, whether it be by PM, IM, or in the Main Thread, you must paint it or use pictures. You may not hint at the action or talk about it otherwise.

You are... Bugs Bunny!
Eh, what's up, Doc? You're a wascally wabbit who always seems to get the better of your foes, no matter how strong their speech impediments. You are sly, witty, and you love carrots with a passion. You also have a tendency to cross-dress as a means of confusing your enemies.
Non-vote kills that target you have a 75% chance of hitting the attacker instead. That percentage decreases by 25% each time you are targeted; you're not invincible, after all!

Oh God Nerissa, Aznman is going to be so happy.
I am...Saddam Hussein.
Select a target each night, any abilities targeted at them are targeted at you instead....and vice versa. Choose carefully.

You are... President George W. Bush! You are the leader of the free world. You have had the tenacity and the connections to take the highest office twice in a row. You are supremely confident in yourself, your ability and your vision in how the world works. You trust your friends to do the right thing in the interest of the people while you spend time out at the ranch. Some people say that you're not doing a good job. You're glad that you don't have to ask for their vote anymore. You want to make it throught this game without being voted out against your will. And if you can get through without ever having to sit in a room with Cheney again, it'll be even better. That guy scares you. Seriously. Mechanics: You have the uncanny ability to win elections even when everyone else says you didn't. Be it a highly improbable but totally fair Supreme Court decision or just a lucky outbreak of voting machine malfunctions, you win. Always. If you get the second number of votes for anything, once per game, you actually win that vote, instead of the more qualified/villified guy in front of you. That's just the way the world works my friend. You'll just have to deal with it for 8 more years.

You are...
Patrick Warburton!
You are the sexiest, most awesome voice actor on God's green earth. The tantalizing tones of your talented tonsils can set aflame the loins of any woman alive. You are the chief reason The Emperor's New Groove was one of the best non-Pixar Disney movies in ages. You breathe life into Brock Sampson. Yea, thou art as unto the divine.
Mechanics:
Your macho manly voice can strike fear into any heart and immobilize any person. Each day PM the name of one target player to Deep Thought; all that player's private actions will be canceled that night. Beware, if you use this ability on the same player two times in a row, the cancellation effect will still work, but your target will be inexorably drawn to the sound of your voice, which will result in that player learning why their action has failed."

You are...
Dr. Chris Turk!
You try to act like the cool black surgeon in the hospital, but the truth is that you're just as big a softie as your best friend JD. And despite being married to Carla, you have to admit that you're a little married to him too.
Mechanics: Each night you may use your powers of surgery on a target. This is probably a good thing. Also, if Vanilla Bear dies, you will also die from crying (the following night)-- I mean, punching the wall all manly-like.
So I have a... something ability and presumably I die if JD dies.

Everyone's favorite grizzled hero extraordinaire. Granted, lately you've been feeling a mite bit tired and grumpy, but that's not going to stop you from crawling, rolling, shooting, hanging, and running your way to victory here. You've got a seemingly neverending supply of awesome gadgets and explosive weapons at your disposal, and you intend to use them as best you can to avoid being a prisoner to fate while still fulfilling your ultimate destiny.
Favorite Phrase: Taking two or three words out of the last sentence said to you and repeating them in the form of a question, with a large pause in between the words. Example: ""That was the most delicious ham sandwich I've ever had!"" ""Ham...sandwich?""
Avatar:
Mechanics: You and your crafty claymores. Once a day, you may booby trap a word of no less than 12 letters in length by sending a PM with that word to Deep Thought. The following day, if you catch anyone saying that word in their own post, not a quote from someone else, send a PM to Deep Thought with a link to the post. The first person that you point out that says the word to Deep Thought will explode. No, you can't use player names, that's just unfair. And no booby trapping the same word twice! "

Speedyswaf, you really should try to see if you can convince your group/others to vote you for the Election. Make posters, do whatever you need to do. If you can get in second and get that leader position, I'm sure it will be beneficial. A secondary benefit is that when you inevitably get seered/killed, the people who vote for you are going to be looked at as bad guys. We of course would not vote for you .

We should really start a General Tactics thread or something So, here's hoping Swaf gets a few more votes. The pressure's on internally for members of TGTBATR to vote Quoth, but there's a possibility Swaf will make it into second place. Also, Varcayn is JD, so please, nobody abuse him! I need to figure out what my surgery ability actually entails, but I'm thinking it's either a guarding power with a small chance of doing something unpleasant instead ("probably a good thing") or a guarding power that only works if the target is being targetted by someone else, but otherwise does something awful to them. I've seen that in one or two Mafia games...

Might as well post other people's powers in this thread too if we know them.
Assuming Ardor got my version of Marvin and it didn't get changed too much, he'll be much more difficult to take out with a vote.
The way I wrote it was that as long as he is sufficiently depressed, votes against him count at 1/2 value, if he's ever optimistic about anything, they're double value. I think we can assume Ardor will RP well enough to keep them at 1/2 value.

If FunkyWaltDogg has been assigned my incarnation of HAL 9000, anyone who kills him will be instantly identified and mentioned in narration.
He's also entitled to a miller-type mechanic every 3 days, where he can finger someone with false information to be included in the narrative, but I suspect that one's been altered somehow.

It's fairly obvious that Cynic Jester has my version of Snake.
I'm just gonna quote what I originally sent Deep Thought:
I also offered some variants on what might happen if the body or head were taken out, so who knows how powerful DevoutlyApathetic let the role be. Certainly, there will be some changes from my original formulation.

Your life is great as Spider-Man. You're saving people and being the hero. But as Peter Parker, you are at the bottom of the food chain. Spidey is the happy go lucky hero that every one loves and Peter is depressed loner who can't let any one get close to him because they will die.
When you are Spider-Man. You have to crack jokes and generally helpful.
When you are Peter Parker. You have to be sullen and down trodden.
Mechanics: If you change your avatar from Spiderman to Peter Parker or vice versa you will negate any player actions that have targeted you so far that day. You may only switch once per a day, you must switch your avatar and you must publically comment on it in the thread. Send me a PM with a link to the change over post to activate your power."
