Epilogue
- Spoiler:
- "..."
"So once again the time has come."
"..."
"What do you mean? I don't need to kill them? You know very well that they're the cause of this happening, if i don't stop them now then you know what will happen. Besides that they're greedy bastards anyway."
"..."
"Maybe next time. By the way don't you have your own assignment? If i don't go now i'll miss the portal."
The 15 most important members of this company will be attending to the mask party on the CEO's manor! I mean we're near through a breakthrough that will change the world the biggest discovery of the 22nd century! Soon we'll discover the mysteries of that ancient temple. Wait what's happening? Who's that... is that... a Monster?
Welcome everyone to Behind The Masks! In this game you will choose a mask that you think best suit you for this rather elegant situation, a massive struggle for survival due to a sudden apparition of a monster that promises riches and the secrets of the ancient palace, but remember only one of you will walk out of this situation alive!
Roles:
- Spoiler:
Bodyguard
You are a Bodyguard!
You were hired to guard the CEO of this party and since he was feeling generous he allowed you to participate of the party, that would be a joyous experience if weren't for some kind of monster trying to murder everyone in a twisted game. The only one you are interested in protecting now is yourself.
Three times per game, during the Dinner Phase, you may intimidate one player, preventing them from challenging anyone that phase. They are forced to accept all challenges. PM the Moderator to use this power.
If you intimidate a player, the intimidated player will be announced at the beginning of the Challenge Phase.
Blackmailer
You are a Blackmailer!
Well you aren't party of the company but you asked them to invite you and they did, why? Simple you know every single dirty secret of everyone working for that CEO and you have him in the palm of your hands, all this life of luxury suddenly stopped by this horrid situation, who would've guessed that the party would end up like this? In any occasion you still have secrets that everyone would rather be dead than for these to be revealed, it's just a matter of time.
During the Dinner Phase, you may blackmail one player. PM the Moderator to use this power.
Blackmailed players must challenge during the Challenge Phase, or will die. Only the blackmailed player will know that they are blackmailed.
Hardware Overseer
You are the Hardware Overseer!
You were promoted and invited to this damned party after thousands of hours working for this ridiculous company, at least something nice will come from working for these greedy corporation. Well that was you thought before everything went to shit, i supposed that you're the unluckiest person in that department, your only chance to survive was that you can make any hardware you want the best it can be something fairly useful when you need to win a "friendly" video game competition that may decide who lives and who dies.
At the beginning of the Action Phase, you will be notified of the intended winner(s) of the accepted Fighting Video Game Challenge(s).
Three times per game, during the Action Phase, you may change the winner of a Fighting Video Game Challenge. PM the Moderator to use this power. You may use this ability once on yourself.
Decorator
You are a Decorator!
You were invited to this party after doing a stellar job coordinating and doing the decoration for the corporation so they decided that you deserved a reward, if only that rewards didn't look like a death sentence. You might be a simple decorator but with enough decoration and presents you know that anybody will be your friend!
During the Action Phase, you may choose one player to anonymously give presents. (PM the host to use this power.)
Players that have been given a Present will not be able to guess whether anyone is the Decorator for the rest of the game.
Software Supervisor
You're the guy that makes everything work, without you the machines, the research, everything wouldn't be possible. After working way too much a little break was deserved, this party would be the perfect way to relax. Now it seems like you're stressed even more, with your cunning and a bit knowledge about these new era consoles inside the manor you can gain an advantage through cheating.
Any dance game challenges you make secretly count as fighting game challenges.
It will still appear to be a dance game.
The Hardware Overseer and The Programmer will know the difference.
Once per game, you may initiate a "Face Off"
The "Face Off" takes place after the dinner phase.
During this phase, all players secretly vote on another player.
Players can vote for themselves.
The two highest voted players will participate in a fighting game, and the loser will be killed.
In the event of a tie, the Knight may choose the combatants.
Hitman
You are a Hitman!
It was supposed to be a simple job, simply assassinate some boring CEO at some boring party. Easy money and everyone ends up happy well unless you were the CEO. After a couple of minutes that the party started a strange situation arose, some weird creature is now holding everyone inside the place and the last one alive will win big. They don't stand a chance, armed with your silenced pistols this job just got way more interesting.
Once per voting phase, you may shoot one person. They will not survive the shot unless they are the Soldier. If you shoot the Soldier, the Soldier will not die.
You can only shoot losers of duels/dances.
Additionally, you also gain an additional shooting every time you defeat a player in a duel or dance.
The shooting is silent, meaning it does not reveal your role.
You cannot store more than 1 shot at a time.
You start off with one shot.

Programmer
You are a Programmer!
You never got along with the hardware overseer nor the software supervisor, they always undermined your work. Even if you're just a programmer the advantage of knowing the variables that the dancing video game uses will be of great help judging that they will be a important part of surviving this madness.
At the beginning of the Action Phase, you will be notified of the intended winner(s) of the accepted video game dance(s).
Three times per game, during the Action Phase, you may change the winner of a video game dance. PM the Moderator to use this power. You may use this ability once on yourself.
Butler
You are a Butler!
You're the butler of this manor, there isn't a single thing in this manor that happens without you knowing. This job is not worth dying for and luckily you have a natural advantage of knowing every part of this manor.
You will be notified whenever the Blacksmith or the Musician interferes in a challenge.
You will be notified of any secret plate switches.
You will be notified of the original target for the poisoner. (Not post-switch)
Medic
Being the personal doctor of a big CEO has it's advantages, lots of cash, invitations to cool parties, the struggle of surviving... Wait struggling to survive isn't a perk of that, but you'll have to survive this scenario after accepting the invitation to this party! Thank goodness that you brought all of that adrenaline and morphine!
Each voting phase, you may apply morphine somebody's food. Their position on the lists will be RNG'ed to a lower position. Cannot be stopped by Premium Food,
Each voting phase, instead of applying morphine, you may hide an adrenaline injector. This will bring them to the top of both lists for one phase(above everything), but they will suffer by being on the bottom of both lists for two phases. Cannot be stopped by Premium Food.
Chemist
You are a Chemist!
You were hired to discover what the materials on the ancient temple were made of. Although not a whole lot of progress was made on that front you were invited to the party anyway, maybe with the information locked inside the temple will give you clues. Oh damn it something bad is happening and you don't want to die do you? Then the only chance that you have is to put your knowledge of chemistry to poison everyone else and be the last one alive.
You may poison a player's food during the Voting Phase. If they eat it, they will die during the dinner phase. PM the Moderator to use this power.
CEO
You are the CEO!
Running a company this big isn't an easy task and you know it, after a long and arduous journey you will finally decipher the secrets that your father couldn't in that god forsaken temple. Threats to your life are usually common and even in an order of disarray you still maintain your cool, imposing your authority.
Your vote counts as two during the Voting Phase. PM the moderators to cast your second vote secretly.
Once per game, during the Voting Phase, you may force an execution. PM the Moderator to use this power.
Head of Security
You are a Head of Security!
You are the Chief of the security of the company, naturally they would want you to provide the security of the party as well as have a little bit of fun. After all the guards were murdered and the manor compromised the only option left was to comply to the orders of the creature. Being an ex-military that went through wars and came back you learned the true nature of people around you, those who would attempt to murder you silently with poisons and assassinations, you can identify any poison and you can defend yourself against any attempt of assassination.
You are immune to poison.
You are immune to being shot, but will not kill the MAA.
Student
You are a Student!
During your college years, you could never confine yourself to a single field of study. Thankfully, a natural knack for learning led to the collection of a wide variety of skills. Working for a company this big is bound to give you the edge you need to be superior to everyone else!
Each time you lose a duel or dance, you move up two slots on the corresponding list. Dead players count as being on the lists.
Cat Burglar
You are the Cat Burglar!
You're still the best one at this job there isn't anywhere in this world that you can't pull of a heist! Your crew informed you about this party of a bunch of rich members of a well known giant enterprise are gathering up, stealing the identity of one of the members was fairly easy, swiping this entire party of valuables would be piece of cake if you weren't stuck fighting for your life in a life threatening event.
Each dinner phase you may switch player's plates up to 5 times without their knowledge. PM the Moderator to use this power. If the poisoner dies, you will become the new poisoner.
Cyborg
You are a cyborg created by a company, packing a facial readjust system you can pretend to be anyone in this world, the company has provided an identity and credentials that were bribed from an opportunistic employee of the rival company seeking for some quick cash.
Booting, Directive Loaded, Infiltrate the event and steal critical files about the rival company's discovery at the party. Analyzing... Anomalous situation encountered... Overriding... Self-Learning A.I. activated to ensure safety.
Once per game, if you are being executed, you may change yourself to match every single characteristic of that person, making the monster execute the person you're mimicking.
The person you mimic must have voted for you AND lost a challenge.
You will become their role, and assume all attributes/gifts they had(you will still keep mask name though).
