    So I see all of these themes from popular games from popular companies (Nintendo, Sega, etc). But what about Naughty Dog? They produced one of the greatest series I have ever played, the Jak and Daxter series. I think a theme for this great series needs to be made and I am here to make it happen. I got these teams from my favorite game of the series, Jak 3. It featured a battle for Haven City between 3 teams: The Freedom League, the Krimzon Guard, and the Metal Heads, while also preventing the planet from being destroyed by the Dark Makers. The KG and Metal Heads usually worked together, but they were not officially united. The Spargus City village aided the Freedom League in their fight, but I decided to not add them as it would make Freedom League too strong. So this theme is basically what Jak 3 was, a battle for Haven City.

    Freedom League
    Jak - The hero of the series, can type /dark to become Dark Jak (Daykiller with 20% chance of reveal) or Light Jak (Can reveal one person during the standby). Avoids daykills, knows who Daxter is
    Daxter - Jak's best friend, can stalk one person during the night, knows who Jak is
    Keira - Jak's lover, can distract one person during the night
    Samos - Jak's protector, must find Jak so he can bodyguard/safeguard him
    Vin - The scientist of Haven City, can inspect one person during the night, has -1 vote
    Torn - Main fighter of the Freedom League, can kill one person per night
    Ashelin - Can kill every other night
    Precursor - Mythical beings, can use magic to poison once per night, victims die next night
    Tess - Member of the old Underground Army, can /kill, /distract, /safeguard, /inspect, and /stalk once per game; ONLY appears in games with 20+ people
    Onin - Old soothsayer, can get hax on Vin's inspect, Torn's killing, Keira's PL, and Daxter's stalk.
    Pecker - Onin's interpreter, reveals as Soldier when inspected, Onin cannot be killed as long as Pecker is alive
    Sig - Spy for Haven City, gets hax, 15% player, 25% team
    Soldier - Villager


    Krimzon Guard Army
    Baron Praxis - Leader of Haven City, can reveal one person during the standby, cannot be nightkilled, vote counts as 4
    Errol - Leader of the Krimzon Guard, can kill one person per night
    Krew - Can bodyguard OR poison one person per night, knows who Baron is
    Krimzon Guard - Can kill once per night (shared with team)


    Metal Head Army
    Metal Kor - Leader of the Metal Heads, can daykill without being revealed, cannot be nightkilled; if Kor dies or is lynched, all Metal Heads/Metal Head Beasts die.
    Metal Head - Can nightkill once per night (shared with team), can train to become a Metal Head Beast
    Metal Head Beast - Can nightkill once per night (shared with other Beasts), once per game, can use a second nightkill

    Count Veger

    Count Veger - Evil member of the Haven City Council that just wants the world for himself, has a +99 vote, ONLY appears in games with 25+ people

    Dark Ship

    Dark Ship - Plans to destroy the planet; can kill once every other night (outspeeds protect and safeguard), cannot be nightkilled or daykilled, can only die if lynched.


    Let me know what you think :)
    As always, suggestions are welcome. If you know about the Jak and Daxter series, I could really use your help!

    Ok here some thoughts.
    1) You have both Daxter and Samos that knows Jak. I hope that they are not able to spawn together, otherwise it would be a too powerful connection. Personally you have only 2 choices there, or Daxter doesn't spawn when Samos spawn and vice versa or one of them shouldn't be able to know Jak
    2) Tess as it is seems a little Overpowered, even because the village has already Jak daykill and Precursor poison to eliminate their enemies, so a third killer looks a little too much. Suggestion: or you make her like apple jack on FiM and she can uses her abilities only a limited amount of times per game or you give them a recharge time of 1 or 2 day for the actions or you leave her able to use only safeguard and stalk that are the less problematic one between her actions.
    3) How is supposed to win alone Baron Praxis? From your description he has no greater vote power and he has no kill shared or not shared with his team. So if he is alone he is not able to win.
    4)Krew has the same problem of Baron Praxis.
    5) Count Veger seems the typical Conspirator, but on your description he doesn't win with anyone else apart himself and even him has no special vote power or killing ability. So how is supposed to win?
    6) Always about Count Veger. you said that hecan fake expose? who will he fake to be with his fake-expose? I mean, Light Jak will not always be there, after all the players will choose Dark Jak at least 50% of the time instead and i don't think that village would trust Baron Praxis often for the expose.

    Does Jak only know Dexter in the form of Light Jak, if so what is the point of that if Dexter knows him from the start?

    No. By the way, Samos needs to find out who Jak IS so he can protect him (if Daxter finds Samos, he can connect to Jak). Dark Jak or Light Jak doesn't matter. Jak and Daxter will always know each other. I mean, come on, they're best friends O_O
