A '''Role''' (<ruby>役割<rt>ロール</rt></ruby>) is the usage inflection set on every [[Rule]]. According to {{Transient icon|Maria}}, the wielder of the [[Sacred Artifact]] defines the Role based on the identity of the wielder's soul (i.e. what the wielder desires), and in turn the Role decides the alignment of the Rule. The Sacred Artifact responds to the wielder's identity when it manifests the Rule it houses. While an individual may have multiple Rules attached to multiple owned Sacred Artifacts, they may only have one Role. | A '''Role''' (<ruby>役割<rt>ロール</rt></ruby>) is the usage inflection set on every [[Rule]].

The efficacy of a Rule is dependent on the Role of the individual the Rule is enforced upon. For example, {{Transient icon|Shadow of Triton}}'s Rule of washing things away strongly opposes {{Transient icon|Robinson}} and the {{Transient icon|Protagonist}} due to their shared Role of the Wanderer: they cannot oppose being swept away by the washing, as individuals who wander and go with the flow. As a result, they forget nearly everything. However, the one thing they will always remember is being washed away. | The efficacy of a Rule is dependent on the Role of the individual the Rule is enforced upon.

==Role | ==Role-Rule Pairing== | ||
A Rule a Sacred Artifact holds is only given meaning by the Role of the wielder of that Sacred Artifact. Thus, it may be desirable to exchange Roles with someone to give new meaning to their Rule, as was the case for Triton's Shadow and Triton. | In [[Tokyo]], only one unique Role and Rule Pairing may exist at any time. If a person happens to share the same Role-Rule Pairing, they are not allowed entry into Tokyo. Therefore, characters such as {{Transient icon|Odin}} can give their memories to Transients already existing in the city to act as a proxy. A Rule a Sacred Artifact holds is only given meaning by the Role of the wielder of that Sacred Artifact. Thus, it may be desirable to exchange Roles with someone to give new meaning to their Rule, as was the case for Triton's Shadow and Triton. | ||
==List of Role | ==Changing a Role== | ||
To change one's Role is akin to changing one's fate or purpose. However, no person is bound to their Role, and it's possible for one to change their own Role or be given one. | |||

* In the [[Raiders of the Lost Isle]] event, {{Transient icon|Triton}} gives away his Role of the All-Father to {{Transient icon|Dagon}} in exchange for the Role of Educator. It's unclear if Triton regains his original Role or keeps his Role of Educator after Dagon's defeat, and what his Role is in other [[loop]]s. | |||
