There are four main character 'types' in Blood on the Clocktower. These define the starting [[alignment]] of the player, and the player's ability set. In addition to this exist Travellers: player characters with varying alignments but powerful abilities, and Fabled, Storyteller characters that tweak or adjust the gameplay of a game.

An Outsider is a [[Alignment#good|good]] character with an ability that hinders the good team. Their presence varies based on the player count of a game. Their abilities include things such as falsely registering as evil, mistakenly believing they are a townsfolk, or even losing the game for their entire team if they are executed.

A Traveller is a player character that can enter or exit a game at any point. Their identity and ability are known to all players, but their alignment may be either good or evil (which is decided by the Storyteller upon their entry to the game). Their abilities vary wildly but are nearly always exceptionally powerful and can significantly change the outcome of a game.
 
Unlike standard players, Travellers exist under some special circumstances.
 
* They may be 'exiled' at any time, instead of executed. This enables Travellers to be removed from the town for free without wasting an execution on them.
* They do not count as players for the evil win condition - when a Traveller and two regular players are alive, evil has won.
* If they are evil, they learn who the Demon is; they do not learn any additional evil characters or receive any bluffs.

A Fabled character, also known as a 'Storyteller character', is a character that the Storyteller assumes to alter the game rules. This is ''not'' a character that exists in play, only as a modifier for the game itself. Introducing a Fabled character can either correct for a problem (e.g. The game is heavily skewed in favor of one team), or to introduce variance into a situation that doesn't have one (e.g. Confusing the outsider count to help with bluffs).

Fabled characters are for the Storyteller. They each alter the conditions of the game somewhat and are usually included at the beginning of the game.

The purpose of a Fabled character is to allow players to join in a game of Clocktower when they would otherwise not be able to, or to allow a game to run smoothly when there would otherwise be a real-world issue. Fabled characters fix problems that are outside the usual game parameters.

For example, if a player has a mental disability that would normally mean that they are unable to understand the game rules or communicate with the group, a Fabled character can allow them to join in. If a player is new to the game, and fearful that they will die early, a Fabled character can protect them. If there are too many players wanting to play all at once, a Fabled character can make the game run more quickly. If one of the group is shy or softly spoken, and has trouble getting the groups attention, a Fabled character can give them the powers to do so. If the game needs to end unexpectedly early, a Fabled character can decide a winner. If you have made your own character list using the Script character list generator, a Fabled character can help it be more fun.
