Okay, so I think most of these need a retheme (Cosplayer and Competitive Gamer don't fit the ToS era), but that said, let's check through them.

SCOUT

Since the Scout only has two uses, it's ridiculously, if not infinitely, underpowered compared to the other TI's. I get that its ability is overpowered, but it's kinda... controversial. Town roles instantly learning specific roles is mostly against the general Town meta, so I'm gonna have to reject it unless it gets some heavy changes. I like the concept, it just won't fit well into the game.

DEMON

I don't think I get the idea behind the Demon. What's the point of "caring about" another player? What happens if the person dies? What real benefit do you get other than blocking that one person from affecting you in any way? At that point, it's mostly just a more powerful Serial Killer, and doesn't really belong in the NC alignment either.

COSPLAYER

The main problem I see with the Cosplayer is that you only really benefit from an Escort or Investigator claim, since those are the easiest roles to claim. I don't fully get the idea behind the Bodyguard costume, since all it does is give you Basic defense. You don't really have an ability to claim as Bodyguard. Killing someone as Godfather would also be suspicious. If your death message is "killed by a Cosplayer", people will suspect you. If your death message is "killed by a Mafia", people will still suspect you, since Mafia can't kill twice in one night. That's also a big problem.

Once you make the costume, do you ever have to make it again?

Are the costumes permanent, or do you have to spend a whole night to create one ability, do the ability the following night, then start over? If it's the latter, this role is ridiculously underpowered. If you have to take a night to make a costume, then wear it the next night, it'll take a long time to actually get your claim rolling, and you'll likely be found as suspicious very quickly. You'll never really have a solid claim.

The way I see it, if you want to have a solid claim, the smartest thing to do is just make the Escort or Consigliere costume and stick with that claim. You can usually rely on the Mafia or other killers to kill Townies, so if I was playing this role, I would prefer to let them do the dirty work, and I would spend my time building my claim every night.

COMPETITIVE GAMER

This is... a Juggernaut. A more overpowered Juggernaut.
