Is this the 34th role we've been waiting for? Or a disaster full of loopholes? Decide for yourself

Role: Analyst

Alignment: Town Investigative

Restrictions: None

Characteristics: No immunities

Description: A forensic scientist bent on delivering justice.

Notes: Requires the addition of "DNA Types" into the game. Before the game, each player is assigned a "DNA", which can be any letter from A through O (Players won't know their DNA Type, except for the Analyst, who is given it to him on his Role Card.) Every player has their own DNA Type.

Mechanics: Each night you have the option to visit someone who has died recently or is still alive. Visiting a living person will provide their DNA type. This is undeniable evidence, meaning it cannot somehow be framed. The only way it can be screwed up is if, of course, a rogue transporter swaps your patient with someone else. Visiting a dead person will provide the dead person's DNA type and the DNA of their murderer- NOT anyone else who visited them. Obviously there is no foreign DNA from Vigilante suicide, personal suicide, getting lynched or somehow managing to kill yourself. The catch is that you have to visit the dead person, at latest, one night after their death (before the corpse disappears,) or else any evidence will decay.

So, let's say the player with DNA type J was killed Night 5 by a Serial Killer with DNA type F. You recieve the message "Your target was a type J" and also "Their murderer is a type F." If you manage to find the living guy with Type F, that's undeniable evidence that you've found the Serial Killer. The downside is it takes at least 2 nights to get this evidence. If your target was murdered by several people, you'll recieve all their DNA as well. There is no DNA at all to recieve from the charred corpse of an Arsonist victim.

Investigator: Your target is waiting for the Perfect moment to strike, they must be a Sheriff, Executioner, Analyst or Werewolf. (The point of this is to make sure Executioner and Analyst appear in the same invest result.)

Sheriff: Your target is not Suspicious.

Consigliere: Your target is a brilliant forensic scientist, they must be an Analyst.
