Gunpowder: Age of Demons [Done]

Thousands of years ago, before the events of Gunpowder and before the birth of Vereryl, there was darkness. And from this darkness came a single being of light. The light within this one man's heart was so intense that it shone out and cast a powerful shadow behind him. This shadow grew and assumed the form of its father. Together these two beings - one of light and one of dark - mated, and gave birth to all of the human race. Years passed and their family grew, and in time the first two beings passed on. The one of pure heart took his place as the ruler of paradise, while his shadow took on the less respectable place in hell. Over the years their first children joined them, some taking their place in paradise while others filling in the roles in hell. As time passed and more people were born, a handful came around with wills that outshone all others in their generation. The intensity of light or of darkness within their hearts would rival that of their ancestors, and together with their deeds in life they would be judged and found wanting or worthy of their own position in paradise or hell.

As these beings died their souls were judged, tested in several trials to weigh their strength. Those with frightening levels of darkness left their lighter counterparts behind and thirsted for power. Their greed and lust drove them to become demonic, darkening their skin to a black matching their souls. After a short time in power, these beings were stripped of their position and tossed into an abyss, thought to be locked away forever. While those of pure heart rose up into paradise and acted as the lock to keep the demons in place. But the demons' power proved to be too much, their energies seeped through and crept past the beings of pure unnoticed. Their essence crawled out into the world of the living, and they reached out to a young man on his way to becoming yet another lock on their cage. The young native man who went by the name of Vereryl wished only for peace and prosperity between the clans of his country. But with the influence of the demons...

Mafia is traditionally a game between the uniformed majority (the innocents) and the informed minority (the mafia), to find out more about how to play mafia, take a look at Gunner's Guide to learn the basics.

Like many of our games here on PC, Age of Demons goes beyond this traditional format. Rather than a battle between two factions, this is a highly political game with several factions - in this case Native Jeiman clans. Although Vereryl's faction can be considered the "mafia" in this game, clan heads will be presented with the choice to win the game "diplomatically" or "aggressively" at the beginning of the game. Clans who choose diplomacy will be considered allies, those who choose aggression will aim to be the last remaining clan. Should Vereryl's faction be defeated, those that chose aggression will become new mafia factions whilst those that chose diplomacy will be united as the "innocents".

Followers of Vereryl begin with no abilities. They gain a new ability when visited by Vereryl and join a group chat. Once you've been brought into the followers' chat, if you're recruited you die.

You begin the game playing as Vereryl The Pure, and through a certain event you may become Vereryl The Corrupt. As The Pure, during the day you may visit one person. If they are one of your followers they will join your chat and gain a night action. After becoming Vereryl the corrupt, at night you will have a killing action. You are revealed at the begnning of the game but cannot die until the original three followers are dead.

The Guardites are a clan of two religious zealots who believe you begin life in hell and are sent to paradise upon your death. Each night they will collectively target one person for a night kill which has 1/2 chance of succeeding. If the kill fails one of the zealots will be killed instead.
