Suggested Characteristics
Detectives are very knowledgeable about many different subjects, and are good at learning information from anything available. However, this does make them somewhat nosy or manipulative, and sometimes pushes people away from them. To detectives, no mystery is too difficult, no challenge too dangerous to stop them from finding the truth, though what they do with the truth is up to them.
