Psychological Profiling
Rank: "C"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: Psychologists and psychiatrists can link visible evidence to personality types.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: As a science, it is not exact. Characters can ask for psychological profiles, but only in big events. The Ninja use profiling when there is no main suspect. The ANBU is the biggest user of profiling; its own study found that only seventeen percent of cases were solved by the use of profiling. Profilers draw most of their evidence from the scene of the crime. It is not unusual for profilers to disagree. Example profiles include:
An urbane intellectual who is a manipulation freak.
A blue-collar worker of low intelligence and no remorse.
A victim of great personal loss or anguish connected with the MO.
An antisocial personality looking to articulate themselves.
These would be good profiles to receive if the user is a character assigned to a case. They represent a big clue from the person telling the story. When writing a story, a Game Master needs to think about the psychology of their criminals; however, in game, a Game Master should not want to give too much away too soon. In reality, profiling adds flavor rather than facts. Profiling only gives clues and signals, not a detailed description (for example, the suspect is a highly intelligent person, etc.) By using Sense Motive -40, and Evidence Analysis -40, the user can gain the flavorful insight of a target.
Limit: Must learn from Universal Miscellaneous. Must know Evidence Analysis (20 Points). Must know Sense Motive (20 Points).
It was about 6:30 AM when Tetsu finally made it to the scene of what had clearly been a crime. Tetsu sighed as he lifted his steaming cup of coffee to his lips and let the warm liquid run down his throat as his footsteps could be heard along the wooden floor boards of the house. Tetsu was an acute faced fellow with rectangular glasses stationed on the thin bridge of his nose. He wore a white button down shirt with a pocket and his KMP detective’s badge hanging lazily clipped to it. “Detective Tetsu Nara, Konoha Military Police,” It would read. He wore a navy parka that had read KMP in big white letters, acknowledging his position. “What do we have here?” Tetsu asked with a yawn as he approached the living room that housed a pair of cold bodies and splattered blood along the coffee table that they seemed to have fallen around. He was not in the mood to deal with dead bodies, but alas here he was. “Do you have a couple suspects?” Tetsu asked the captain in charge of the investigation as he would straighten the black tie around his neck.
He received a curt nod from the fellow as he would nod his head to the three individuals outside that were being watched by the officers. “Those three each were house workers that were present during the time of the murder, but the thing is they all seem to have an alibi.” The Captain stated in a matter of fact tone. “Here I’ll talk to them, have the officers bring them to me one at a time outside, I’ll do my best Captain.” Tetsu finished as he walked outside of the building before sitting out on the porch at a table that seemed fairly comfortable, even though it was right next to the street. Tetsu looked over to the officers, and at first they sent over one of the three, and the one that seemed most content to work with them. The fellow was older, well dressed, and seemed very organized. In fact, Tetsu couldn’t see a spec of dirt upon his clothing, which made it hard to imagine this fellow bludgeoning the family to death. Well, to the very least, it implied that he didn’t have a hand in the physical murder of the family inside. “Greetings Officer, my name is Oliver,” the fellow began as Tetsu watched the fellow’s clean gloved hands fold tightly in front of him without touching the table. He was immaculate, and it let Tetsu to believe, at least for the time being, that his fellow was indeed probably suffering from an extreme case of OCD. “Ah…Well it’s nice to meet you Oliver,” Tetsu offered as he extended his hand to the fellow.
The cleanly fellow refused the handshake. “I’m sorry, but I don’t much like being touched…I suppose that comes with being the butler and janitor of the home.” The fellow began as Tetsu slowly took his hand back from the fellow. “I guess so…” Tetsu grumbled as he let his arms rest on the table. An office walked over with the case file that had been drawn up so far, which Tetsu took earnestly and looked though quickly before returning to the suspect. “So, you’re the butler for the Takemori’s, as you said cleanliness would be part of your job.” He mention as he would sigh. The bodies had not turned up any fingerprints, blood, DNA, nothing. Tetsu could tell that the cleanliness of the fellow and the lack of DNA could indeed be a link, but he was never one to be sure when it came to psychologically understanding the fellow. He was OCD, his straight posture seemed to show he was proud of himself, or was very self-confident. He was curt in conversation, and seemed to not be lying, or to the very least was very use to lying if that was indeed the circumstance. His left hand bulged under his glove, showing a hand deformity, possibly an injury that he was ashamed of, as most perfectionists might be of a deforming wound. Tetsu profiled the fellow as he did his best to write down his findings.
