Role: Analyst

Alignment: Town (Investigative)

Description: You are a forensic scientist that analyzes people for physical evidence.

Abilities: Check someone each night for fingerprints each night. There are two results that the analyst can get from investigating their target; clean and red-handed. A "clean" result reveals that the player is not a killing role. A "red-handed" result reveals that the player is able to write a death note (is a killing role.) If the player has wrote a death note at ANY point in the game, the analyst will be notified that the target wrote that death note.

Attributes: You have no immunities. You can analyze an infinite number of times, but only once per night. If your target is framed, they will show up as "red-handed," regardless of whether or not they were red-handed to begin with.

Goal and Victory conditions: Normal town victory conditions (lynch every criminal and evildoer.)

Purpose: Death notes are something that gives evil killing roles a huge advantage. They can easily write any claims, immunities or accusations on the death note while being completely anonymous. The analyst changes all that, forcing evil killing roles to be much more careful. The analyst can also prove vigilantes and veterans from death notes, but it is important they write one, or else the analyst may suspect them of being evil.

Other notes: There are exceptions to the analyst's abilities, most of which apply to other roles. If the analyst investigates a werewolf or a werewolf victim on a full moon, the analyst is killed. The analyst CAN link werewolf death notes to the werewolf himself, along with the mafioso, godfather and serial killer. The analyst CANNOT link death notes to the arsonist, as these notes have little forensic value. However, the analyst can still investigate an arsonist and find them to be red handed. A transporter CAN swap analyst results.

Message if target is clean: Your target tested negative (clean.)

Message if target is red-handed, but cannot be linked to a death note: Your target tested positive (red-handed,) but no other direct evidence could be linked.

Message is target is red-handed, and a death note can be linked: Your target tested positive, and the death note found next to (player killed)'s body could be linked to them!
