The Asylum
The Aeternal Underground Asylum is home to hundreds of psychiatric patients who are in the process of being cured or are going through rehabilitation so that one day, they might be able to leave the AUA and have a somewhat normal life. However, not everything that happens within the AUA is... well... it's not all legal, strictly speaking.
Over the years, certain patients have shown a number of signs - however inconsistent - of heightened neural activity. After members of the staff began to take note of these patients with a heightened state of awareness, the director of the asylum decided to finally dig into the research that he'd put off for so long. Thus began a series of inhumane tests and trials all designed to pull the supposed latent abilities from within the already insane patients. However, not everyone would go down without a fight.
In this game of mafia, you'll take up the roles of either staff, patient, or apparition. Within the game, a group of overly aggressive patients will take up the mantle of Mafia while the Staff will be the Town, and the Apparitions will be a Third Party.

If the two penguins happen to meet during the night, all actions for that night will fail while they mate.

The Apparitions
The faction which consists of individuals with unique win conditions:The Alien
Spoiler:
The Alien is a being which has been called down to Earth as the result of the inhumane experiments being run on the patients of AUA. It's uncertain what the alien's motives are, however, it's been known to be active at night. The Alien visits one player every night and probes them. Probes are counted as items. The Alien wins if all living players are probed.
The Cyborg
Spoiler:
The Cyborg is a patient who suffers from an extreme case of schizophrenia. The patient believes themselves to be part machine, and has used the power of their will and their belief in the reality that they've constructed for themselves to alter the makeup of their physical body to a minor level. The cyborg starts the game with three charges. The Cyborg receives a charge every time they're the recipient of a non-deadly town visit at night. The Cyborg loses a charge each day, as well as if they are shot, stabbed or attacked at night. Once per day, the cyborg can choose to use a charge to convert another player into a cyborg. All cyborgs share a night meeting. Cyborgs can only die when their charge count hits zero, and they'll win once they outnumber the town.
The Amnesiac
Spoiler:
Some of the patients have been reported as suffering from a form of multiple personality disorder. Each of the patients who have been studied after these reports have shown a single similarity. Each shares a certain persona within themselves,
who the doctors have dubbed the amnesiac. It's uncertain who or what the amnesiac is,
however, the entity has shown itself as taking a liking to the recently deceased - even going so far as to speak through them. The Amnesiac may choose at any time to visit one person in the graveyard and acquire their role and win condition. The amnesiac cannot win if they do not pick a player.
