Introduction
Hello, and welcome to Tales of Xillia Mafia! In this game, you will all be playing the role of the various characters from Tales of Xillia 2, working as agents of the Spirius Corporation in search of the mythical Land of Canaan. The Land of Canaan is the domain of the Great Spirit Origin, guarded by the Great Spirit Chronos, Lord of Time. Anyone who reaches the Land of Canaan will be granted one wish by Origin. However, the location of the Land of Canaan is known to no mortal being. Humans can only reach the Land of Canaan by finding the five waymarkers. Once all five waymarkers are gathered together in one place, the way to the Land of Canaan will be opened.
For those of you unfamiliar with the general idea of how mafia works, it's quite simple. The game is divided into two groups: the uninformed majority (generically known as the innocents), and the informed minority (the mafia, as it were). The game itself is divided into two phases, a day phase and a night phase. During the day phase, the players are free to speak in the thread and must vote on whom to lynch that day. At this time the mafia are also among those voting and speaking within the thread, and they will attempt to sway the vote to their own advantage. During the night phase, the thread is "closed" and no one is to be posting in the thread. The mafia will take this time to privately deliberate whom to kill for the night.
However, this game adds a few twists to your typical mafia game. Most notably, this game will feature time travel. The rules of time travel are as follows:

However, this game adds a few twists to your typical mafia game. Most notably, this game will feature time travel. The rules of time travel are as follows:
- There are several roles in this game that allow a player to travel back in time and take an action on a previous phase. This action will be retroactively applied to that day, the game's timeline will be altered, and the current state of the game will be modified and resolved accordingly.
- Due to the possibility of the game's timeline being altered, if you are killed, you're technically not out of the game just yet. If you're killed, continue to private message me your votes (likewise, you're encouraged to keep up with the current events of the game to ensure that your vote is well informed). These votes will be used to resolve any alternate timelines that result in you being brought back.
- Here's an example of a divergent timeline: On day 4, Ludger kills a catalyst. Day 5, Leia inadvertently gets lynched by a margin of just one vote, with "no lynch" coming in second place. Now, on day 6, Chronos decides to go back to day 4 and kill Ludger. The timeline has now been altered. The catalyst was never killed day 4, and the vote on day 5 was a tie. That is...unless the newly revived catalyst had voted privately for Leia on day 5, in which case that vote will now be counted towards the day 5 vote and Leia will still have been lynched.
Rules
- All PokéCommunity rules apply.
- All players get one vote per day phase, which may be changed at most once during the phase.
- Each day phase will last 48 hours, unless indicated otherwise.
- No private messaging others in the game.
- All discussion must be kept in this thread, unless you have a role that grants you a private chat with other players.
- Do not post here once you have been killed. You will be allowed one dead post that does not contain any information relating to the game.
- Posting during the night phase will result in your immediate death. Such a death will plunge you into the temporal abyss, where you cannot be brought back even in an alternate timeline.
- Night actions should be sent to me by PM.
- Votes must be formatted as [kill] Player
- Each player must vote during the day phase. Abstaining is not allowed. No-lynching is allowed, but you must explicitly state such a vote as such: [kill] no one
- Upon being killed, you're still considered to be in the game. As such, continue to send me your votes and night actions (if you have any) via private message.
- Likewise, don't reveal any sensitive information to dead players, as they could be brought back into the game.
- If you miss two votes in a row, you will be eliminated from the game and lost to the temporal abyss, never to return even by way of an alternate timeline.
- Votes will be counted on the basis of plurality, not majority.
The Agents of Spirius
Ludger Will Kresnik - An Agent of Spirius and descendent of the Scion of Kresnik. He is currently working to eliminate the fractured dimensions and find the waymarkers. He can shoot one player during the day twice per game, thereby killing them. In doing this, he can also choose to go backwards in time and kill someone on the previous day. The first time he shoots, his identity will remain hidden. The second time he shoots, his identity will be revealed. He also has a hidden ability known only to him. If Elle is ever to be killed, Ludger will sacrifice himself in her place. He and Elle know each other's identities from the start of the game.
Elle Mel Marta - A mysterious little girl whom Ludger met at a train station. A tragic incident separated her from her father and she is now in search of the Land of Canaan. Each night, she can dispatch kitties to go out and find items. They will return with the item the next night, at which point she will choose a player to give the item to (the chosen player must be someone other than Ludger). She and Ludger know each other's identities from the start of the game.
Jude Mathis - A brilliant medical student currently working in Elympios, researching spirit fossils and aspirixis. Each night, he can protect one player from death.
Leia Rolando - Jude's childhood friend and a journalist in training. Each night, she can choose one player. She can follow that player, learning what night actions they took. Alternatively, she can choose inspect that player, learning their alignment. Either of these abilities can only be used once per player.
Gaius - King of Rieze Maxia. Twice per game, he use his Hydra Strike arte. This arte will cause the target to begin bleeding. When a player is bleeding, a single vote during the day will kill them.
Rowen J. Ilbert - Prime minister of Rieze Maxia. If there is ever a no-lynch during the day, he can choose one player to interrogate the next night, initiating an anonymous chat. He can then choose to either kill that player or allow them to live. Players being interrogated are immune to night actions.
Muzét - Muzét is a Great Spirit with power over spacial dimensions, and the older sister of Milla Maxwell. Each night, she chooses two players. If any one of those players is targeted that night, the other will be targeted instead.
Alvin Vint Svent - A former Exodus operative, he currently works with Ludger and the rest of the heroes to destroy the fractured dimensions. His apparent alignment upon inspection will change randomly. Once per game, he can use his Arc Fire Arte. This will kill one player and injure another, causing them to begin bleeding.
Elize Lutus - A young girl who can cast unusually powerful spirit artes, she travels around with a talking doll named Teepo. She can use her Pixie Circle arte on a player of her choice. This player will be protected from all day kills as well as night kills (does not protect them from a kill by vote). This pixie circle will remain in effect until an attempt is made to kill the player. Only one player can be protected by the pixie circle at a time.
Nova - A worker at a local bank in Elympios and childhood friend of Ludger's. She's very talkative, and will often call the heroes throughout the day during their mission to chat and make puns about debt collection. During the day, she can send out public messages. She can also send messages privately to Ludger once per night. She may not reveal her identity in either way.
Vera - Secretary to the president of Spirius Corporation. If she's killed, all votes will be anonymous and there will be no posting in the thread the following day. Guns cannot be used during such a time.
Mr. Rideaux - Spirius's Director of Dimensional Affairs and a powerful Chromatus user. He has an ability that is known only to him.
Julius Kresnik - The older brother of Ludger Kresnik. Any non-contemporaneous attempts to kill him will fail.

The Catalysts
Chronos - Lord of time, and guardian of the Land of Canaan. As an immortal Great Spirit, he cannot be killed by any means. Each night, he can go back in time up to 3 days and kill one player.

Catalysts - The five catalysts know one another's identities and get to speak in a private chat with one another, along with Chronos. Additionally, the following five abilities are dispersed among them.
- 2 Can once per game travel forwards in time to the next day. Once you arrive at the target day, your votes will count as two. However, until you arrive in the future, you may not speak in the thread or vote.
