Oracle
Difficulty: ★★★ Challenging
You sit at the center of a web of information – most of it publicly available if one knows where to look. And when that isn’t enough, a little discrete hacking often fills in the gaps.
Yours is a diverse toolbox, utilizing a wide spread of skills and able to tap a wide range of information sources. While your abilities streamline many crucial investigative activities, you’ll still be interacting with a lot of rules systems.

Power: Personal Data
You don’t actually know everything about everyone. At least, until you focus your attention on them. Then it’s hard to tell the difference.
Party Role: Solver
You often weigh in during the earliest stages of a mystery, providing the essential foundation on which the investigation proceeds. You also shine when a target has been selected, excelling at focused information gathering and large-scale pursuit.
