Alignment : Neutral Benign so why is it in the town's board?

Game Background : You are an insecure wunderkind obsessed with figuring out the motives of those around you.

Attack : None

Defense : None

Unique Role :

Priority :

Abilites : The Sleuth may highlight two player names and at the end of the night, one of the players roles is revealed to you? but not which player that role belongs to. One of the player names highlighted has to be one of the Slueths neighbors otherwise he would just be randomly gaining role information (read the goal for more information on this choice).

Attributes : You can decide to help out the mafia or the town or coven?, it doesnt matter as long as you survive and find out the roles of your neighbors. If you correctly guess the role of one of your neighbors, that neighbor dying will have no effect on you winning.

Mechanics : if one of your neighbors dies, their correlating neighbor will be chosen to be your new neighbor. the players role who is revealed is not random, instead the role revealed will be the one closest to the top of this list - MAFIA, TOWN, NEUTRAL, VAMPIRE. During the day a sun box will be brought up, if you click on it two different role lists will pop up for both of your neighbors and you may decide what role you think they belong to.

Sheriff Results : Your target is not suspicous.

Investigator : Your target could be a investigator, consigliere, slueth, or witch (you might notice that every role given in the investigation results are investigation-roles, also the witch is for coven).

Consigliere / Witch : Your target is obsessed with investigating his neighbors, he must be a sleuth.

Goal : Correctly enter the roles of each of your neighbors and survive to the end.

Wins With : Anything

Must Kill : Noone

This is basically a survivor mixed with a quirky consigliere, although i can always remove the "I have to survive goal" btw i am very tired while writing this so something is probably wrong that i can always change.

ok so here is the thought process for this role, "so there are only two neutral benign roles in non-coven, and the mafia and town have investigative roles so... why dont i fill this empty slot with an investigative role?! perfect..."

also some may critize this role saying "how does there ability help them figure out a specific role?" im also having trouble with this so maybe it could be that you only have to find the alignment of your neighbors instead of their role. it is neutral investigative, which is a big no-no on role ideas.
