I have some idea of the flavor - depending on how closely we stick to the script, I'd say cult is unlikely but possible. I just can't think of anyone who would be a cult leader (meaning someone who controls a non-town group of people). The only possibility that I can see is Dr. Frankenstein.
I was contemplating whether or not I should write out a list of possible roles and realized that anyone who cares enough can easily google this information, so it's not exactly a risk to anyone. I'd rather everyone has this information front and center than have scum go digging for it. Sorry in advance if this is a jumbled mess.
1. Emma Swan - main protagonist, originally bail bondsperson, now a sheriff and the savior. Has magic powers (I have no idea whether this is relevant)
2. Neal - early friend and love interest of Emma's. Former thief. Also known as Baelfire, son of The Dark One (but isn't evil himself). Died.
3. Henry - the other protagonist in the story. teenage (or younger?) boy that has a pure heart. Emma's and Neal's son. Very inquisitive. Raised by Regina and essentially loves both mothers equally.
4. Regina - mayor of the town, also the Evil Queen. Because of her love for Henry she turns good. Has magic powers.
5. Snow White - Emma's mother. She can (almost never) do anything evil, except she does put her child's safety above all else.
6. Prince Charming - Emma's father. Noble, strong, not necessarily the brightest.
7. Mr. Gold / The Dark One - One of the main antagonists. Also known as Rumplestiltskin. Powerful Mage and also Henry's grandfather (since his son is Neal). Puts his own interests (to be the most powerful mage) first but if i recall correctly puts family at a close second. Power comes from a special dagger. Has magic.
8. Belle - Love interest of Mr Gold's, especially when she doesn't know that he is still the dark one.
9. Hook / Killian - Pirate who used to be evil, became good because he fell in love with Emma
10. Red Riding Hood - One of the good guys in the story except that during a full moon she turns into a werewolf. The red cloak prevents her turning.
11. Granny - One of the good guys, runs a diner (where Red works). Nothing of particular note except she's usually up on the gossip as a result. Probably not very important.
12. Robin Hood - true love of Regina except already married to another woman whom Regina killed when she was evil; Emma accidentally brings the woman back to life, mess ensues.
13. Pinocchio - depending on time in series, either a real boy or a puppet. When the original curse cast by Regina happened, he and Emma were the two people transported to the real world to safety. Geppetto (Pinocchio's creator) is also in the story
14. Zelena - half-sister of Regina, evil to the core. Tries to kill Emma, Regina, and everyone else. Magic and shapeshifting ability
The series also has the seven dwarves (Dreamy is relatlvely major; the others are more minor), the blue fairy (the most powerful fairy who also trained tinker bell, but not as powerful as the dark one), Dr Frankenstein (a regular doctor in Storybrook but created his monster in the past), Elsa/Anna (from Frozen), The Snow Queen (evil), Maleficent / Cruella De Vil / Ursula (evil trio)
This may or may not give some suggestions as to who has what powers, and for that reason I'm not sure if it's a good idea to roleclaim (as rule #5 states). Also keep in mind that there there could be a lot of safeclaims around.
In a game of 10 I'd expect 6-7 town (and 3-4 non town), with those being made up of 2-3 mafia/sk/cult combo and 1 independent. But this is just my thought based on previous games I've played.
EBWOP: didn't realized this matches Mpolo's list completely, but good to know.
