Give me your Conspiracy Archetypes!

[kiznit]

This coming week, we're going to try a little D20 Modern Dark*Matter. I've got a copy of The Killing Jar, and the Menace Manual, so I don't see conversion as being a problem and plan on doing it on the spot. OTOH, I've agreed to make Pre-Gens for everybody since people aren't familiar with the D20M ruleset and are simply too lazy to work from the SRD.

I'm a big fan of building characters from quirky archetypes. In a Supernatural Conspiracy Game, what are some of the standard "X-Files"-y characters people can play?

Things like:

• The Skeptic
• The Demonologist
• The Doctor fascinated by Xenobiology
• The Psychic
• The Professor/Bookworm
• The Conspiracy Theorist

I'd like most to be human, professional, with maybe one or two to have supernatural "quirks" - some possible telekinesis or maybe some sort of astral projection or something. The above are just extremely generic samples - help me come up with new ones or flesh these guys out!

 

[Committed Hero]

The trigger-happy paranoid.

The man in black.

 

[Vigilance]

The former conspirator now trying to expose their evil from the inside.

The late night talk show host trying to uncover the "truth that's out there".

The professional UFOlogist/book writer about UFOlogy.

The former antiquarian who now investigates "chariots of the gods".

 

[mahtani]

The dope fiend who stumbles upon danger and his canine companion who is totally addicted to scoobie snacks ...

Oh, wait ... that wasn't X-Files!

 

[Arrgh! Mark!]

The journalist who had a strange experience and just can't quite write it off.. (PUN!)_
