A Restless Spirit is a player who is allowed to Vote after death. The player may not use other words, loses all other abilities, and can't be targeted with abilities.
Generally, the cause of the player's death does not matter in determining the player's ability to vote.
Standard version
A Restless Spirit is a player who may post naked votes even after death. They may not post content other than votes.
In order to standardise the interaction with other roles, the timing of when the votes can be made should be specified explicitly using a role modifier (the default, being able to vote each Night and have the vote affect the next Day, would be unusual in practice).
Variations
This ability may be limited to a certain number of days or may continue until the game is over.
A Restless Spirit is typically limited as to when they are allowed to post their naked votes e.g. only one vote every 24 hours or only one vote every Day phase.
The player may be required to submit votes outside of the thread to prevent sending messages to the living players via the timing of their votes or coded messages in their vote patterns.
This role may be disabled in MeLo and ELo to avoid effectively having an untouchable Innocent Child who can't speak but can still post naked votes.
Use & Balance
The Restless Spirit has no special abilities to help in finding anti-town players, but other than the inability to speak, a dead Restless Spirit effectively becomes an unkillable player whose alignment has been publicly revealed. This makes the Restless Spirit especially powerful at the end of a game.
