My guess:

Guardian: Carolyn, Joe, Lily, Tommy, Tony, Vincent.

Seeker: Norman, Amanda, Harvey, Mandy, Kate, George.

Rogue: Daniela, Bob, Monterey, Michael, Patrice, Preston.

Mystic: Marie, Diana, Dexter, Luke, Jaqueline, Agatha.

Survivor: Silas, Rita, Mary, Hank, Darrell, Carson.

Neutral: Charlie, Gloria, Wilson, Trish.

You can use this thread for speculation.

Those look pretty good.

I would peg Wilson for a rogue or survivor, and Patrice for a seeker though. Agatha is probably also going to be some kind of seeker/mystic hybrid (as a parapsychologist, the 'educational' seeker cards and science cards make a lot of sense for her too).

i would think Patrice would be a mystic. her music is magical.

Well Rita being a survivor has already been spoiled.

I would make George a Survivor and Darrel a Seeker.

Trish could be neutral or a Rogue.

I'm wondering what they'll do with Michael McGlen to make him feel different from "Skids." His backstory gives a real need to do harm to monsters for his late partner, Louis. I feel that deckbuilding will be pretty similar. In Arkham 3e, he's an 8 Stamina/4 Sanity character with the static ability: "After you defeat a monster as part of an attack action, you recover one sanity or focus one skill of your choice." He's my surprise favorite from 3e and I'm excited to see him in this game.

I'm musing that Preston Fairmont could have the ability to gain Exceptional items at half (so what's printed, not doubled) XP cost, or have the ability to have 2 copies of Exceptional items.

I think Agatha Crane will be odd. Maybe a Mystic-Seeker who discovers clues at her location when she fails at tests on Spells by 2 or less.

I feel similarly about Joe Diamond and Roland Banks as you do about McGlen and Skids. They are kind of samey. I could see McGlen having a simple "Your Assets with "uses (ammo)" enter play with 1 additional use on them. Kinda like the Akachi of Firearms.

I would expect Joe Diamond to have more willpower than Roland. "Hard-boiled," you know? Pretty obviously a Guardian with Seeker elements, though. I guess he could be a Seeker who "grows into" a Guardian the way Norman grows into a Mystic. I'm looking forward to more characters on that pattern.

When I get around to reading, sometimes I learn things. In The Secret Name announcement article, we learn that Diana's deckbuilding does not include any ability to take on Seeker cars. Not even level 0. So what does she have? Text based like Carolyn's "cards that "heal horror" level 0-5,"?

My guess( with help from opinions other players):

All:Neutral 0-5

Joe: Guardian 0-5,Practiced level 0-2,5 Seeker or Survivor level 0 .

To be continued for all investigators...

Good catch! I would say cards that 'cancel' or 'ignore' game effects, or a trait that has a lot of these included. But reviewing the word 'cancel' the best trait would be spirit which only has 2 out of class options (I've had worse, and Test of Will) and Against all Odds if 'ignore' works for her ability. I'm not 100% sure what counts for Diana's ability and what doesn't.

I'm kind of fixated on Darrell now. I'm certain he's a Seeker, as pure a one as they come.

Quote

Even while growing up in Arkham, Darrell always knew that there was something not quite right about the strange little town. After graduating from high school, he went to work for the Arkham Advertiser as a photographer, and in the years since, he's crawled over every square inch of the city.

Last night, however, Darrell saw something horrible-- something that has shaken his world to its core and torn away the safe illusions we all foster to protect our minds and our souls. His editor says he was just seeing things, but as he leaves the newspaper building, he knows just what he saw and he intends to show the world! This time he'll be more careful. This time he'll take pictures and prove that things are not normal in Arkham.

I see him as a Seeker as well.

That being said he could easily be a Seeker with secondary Survivor or a Survivor with secondary Seeker.

Since his art appears on Seeker cards, I think Seeker will be primary.

We may change Darrell and George.

Made some changes.

With the recent spoilers, it might be no additional neutral investigators. So my guess: Charlie: Guardian, Trish: Rogue,Gloria: Seeker,Wilson: Survivor and we ill probably get a new mystic investigator.

Charlie around allies, Trish with firearms, Gloria with tomes, Wilson with tools and great power to compensate...

I don't know which spoilers you mean. The ones I've seen counter some of these.

What spoilers counter? What have you seen? Please pm me.

This are not the investigators for The Circle Undone, but from the whole game...

Ok, I guess now Dexter is Mystic 0-5 with Guardian 0-2, Jacqueline is with Rogue 0-2 and Dian 0-3, cancel cards(0-4?), up to 15 0-1 from Survivor and Guardian/ Rogue?

I would put the politician under rogue.

Yeah, any character involving a lot of money/influence seems to be in the Rogue realm so far. Criminals and rich folks.

It is the money generating class after all
