Welcome to the game; you are the Archaeologist
ALIGNMENT: Town
GENERIC: Vanilla
WIN CONDITION: All Scum and malicious third-parties (if any) have been vanquished.
BACKGROUND:
You are a distinguished scholar with multiple degrees representing some of the finest institutions of higher learning in the world. You have written multiple papers spanning a truly breathtaking range of topics, and students in your PhD program are awed by your ability to turn seemingly dry subjects into compelling lecture material.
Most importantly, though, you've seen Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark seventeen times, and you even own that execrable fourth movie on BluRay. When you read reports that the Necronomicon, ancient and infamous Book of the Dead, had been discovered in an unassuming cabin in the woods, you hot-footed it to Michigan as fast as your vaguely gouty legs would carry you. Here was the chance to have your own archaeological adventure, surrounded by attractive female extras who will consider your blend of learned scholarship and rugged masculinity to be devestatingly attractive.
Unfortunately, you have since discovered that they're actually killing people here, and your whip and gun are sadly not here with you (they are, in fact, fictional; the most deadly weapon in your posh aparment overlooking Central Park is your own exceedingly dull first novel).
Ah, well. As a great man once sort-of said: "Demons. Very dangerous. Let's let someone else go first."
POWERS:
1. You have no special powers, abilities, or information. Well, you're recognized as one of the foremost experts in the world on ancient Sumerian architecture; maybe somebody will want to build a Ziggurat?
ADMINISTRATIVE NOTE: On any Night where the Necronomicon begins the Night not on its pedestal, the Archaeologist may investigate one player to determine whether that player possesses the Necronomicon. This power will always work unless the owner of the Necronomicon uses the Dread Containment power for the Night in question (or unless the Archaeologist is role-blocked in some way).
