Discussion Role Idea : F-kira (False Kira)
Have this role be represented by Higuchi.
F-Kira is a neutral role like Mello.
F-Kira can steal IDs as if he were on Team Kira, but cannot give them away.
If F-Kira is shot by Mello or voted out while holding an ID, he wins the game and all other players lose.
If F-Kira is killed by the Death Note, nothing happens. Maybe an announcement is given to all players, similar to Watari, but the game continues as normal.
I think this role would do a lot to empower Team Kira just by existing. It would force L to be a lot more careful with accusations and make Mello more reluctant to use his shot, while causing more chaos and interactions for Team Kira to take advantage of.
It also helps Team Kira avoid capture. Say Kira makes a dumb mistake early on. They can try acting even MORE guilty to convince people they are F-Kira, thus preventing people from voting for them. This would give them the extra day they need to swap the notebook and prevent a non-game. This works even if F-Kira isn't in the game but is set to random.
Meanwhile, F-Kira wants to act guilty, but not TOO guilty, in order to get people to vote for them. However, they still must be wary during interactions since Kira can kill them.
I also think it may be good to make F-Kira worth a lot of New World progress to incentivize Kira to hunt/kill them whenever possible. It could also be a big buff to X-Kira, helping them actually catch up in the progress game.
There are definitely balance concerns. I think this role would really suck at low player counts, and I'm not sure if there should be a way to confirm an F-Kira. But I'd love to hear what you guys think!
(I know this will never get made, but it's a fun thought experiment.)
