Assassin (Neutral)

Assassin

Basic description

The Assassin targets specific people and kills them silently. They basically use the Hitman’s targeting system.

Role abilities and Gameplay

EDIT: 11.05.2019

• Removed the Rifle from the suggestions since I felt having to do close kills with the dagger was a more interesting playstyle.
• Assassin dies instead of losing abilities if he kills the wrong person. (maybe convar?)

The Assassin is similar to the Hitman with the added difference of being a neutral evil role without any ties to the Traitors.

The Assassin is an evil mercenary who was born to kill his targets and only his targets. If he kills a non-target, he loses all his special abilities and weapons! he dies!

His main weapon is his trusty Assassin’s Sniper Rifle, which comes with a couple of special features:

• It deals a whopping 150 damage and is thus a guaranteed kill! You only have one shot but if you kill your target with it, the shot regenerates for your next target.
• The Assassin turns invisible while scoping and standing still. Only if you have a shot left.
• Careful: If you miss your shot, you don’t get another. Also, you lose your ability to become invisible while scoping.

His weapon of choice is the Assassin’s Dagger.

• It’s an instant kill, like the regular Traitor Knife. BUT it only works on the Assassin’s target. The Dagger doesn’t deplete, unlike the Traitor Knife. Deals 35 Damage to non-targets.

Furthermore, the Assassin possesses a devilish ability to help him attack from the shadows: Vanish.

• The Assassin can (quietly) turn invisible and increase his movement speed by 20% for 5 second with a cooldown of 30.
  He’s forced to ‘Holstered’ during this time, but he can use the Left Mouse Button to create a big smoke cloud and help his disappearance or cover his reappearance.
  The key bind is the same as the Vampire’s pigeon, for simplicity’s sake.

Don’t forget: Once the Assassin has killed a non-target, he loses all these weapons and abilities.

Win conditions

The Assassin needs to kill all his targets and be the last man standing.

Why it might be interesting

The Assassin is a very sneaky role. I thought a ‘hunter’-like role that acts from the shadows could be an interesting take.

Interactions with other roles

Like the Hitman, the Assassin can’t get the Jester as a target.

(ONLY IF POSSIBLE) If a Pirate gets contracted by the Assassin, they need to kill the Assassin’s target, otherwise the Assassin dies as if he killed a non-target himself.
