This is my first time suggesting a role, bear with me.
Alignment: Mafia
Investigator Message: You discover nothing of importance, suggesting that your target is as unsuspicious as a Citizen, Crier, Survivor, or a bedridden Amnesiac, though he could also be an unseasoned Associate.
You are a newly inducted member of the Mafia, waiting for your chance to prove yourself to the family.
Ability:
*Becomes Mafioso if no kill-capable Mafia are alive. You be given priority in this promotion ahead of any other Mafia roles.
*Bulletproof Vest (limit 1, optional).
Options
*Has Bulletproof Vest (default: on)
*Excluded from Randoms (default: on)
*Detects Mason Leader recruit attempts (default: off)
Random Groups: Mafia Support, Mafia Random, Random Any
Achievement: No Chance to Shine- Survive to the win the game as Associate without being promoted to Mafioso. (+50 points)
The Associate is the Mafia equivalent of the Citizen, with a few exceptions. He will not be granted extra weight over other roles in the even of a 1v1 tie, and he cannot be recruited by Mason Leaders or Cultists. He does not earn bonus points for a win, as the Citizen would. Associates are not as likely to rolequit since they have the advantage of teammates. Until they become Mafioso, their power lies primarily in their vote.
The Associate is intended for 4-Mafia games, or games where 3 Mafia *might* be too strong due to their night abilities. The Associate votes with the Mafia, but does not contribute to their investigations or interference with the town at night. If the Mafia killing roles (Godfather/Mafiosos) are all dead, the Associate becomes a new Mafioso, taking priority over other mafia roles with the same ability. He is like an "extra life" for the killing mafia that dies. He will not become a Mafioso if the Godfather dies and the Consigliere is promoted to Godfather in his place.
Because the Associate is notably weaker than all other Mafia roles, by default he is not included in Randoms. An Associate appearing in a save that was balanced for 3 active Mafia will weaken the Mafia in that save.
In order to assist in the Associate's ability to feign the Citizen role, as well as his ability to survive long enough to become a Mafioso, there is an option to grant him a 1-time use bulletproof vest. The Associate is far less likely than the Citizen to be attacked at night, since he does not have to worry about the Mafia intentionally targeting him, so his vest must be used much more carefully.
As he is not a full-fledged member of the Mafia, by default he is not experienced enough to detect a Mason Leader attempting to recruit him. This option exists because the Associate is intended as an "extra" Mafia, and the presence of an Associate is not intended to make the Mason Leader wary of his increased chances of accidentally attempting to recruit a Mafia.
