The Archivist
Note: The Archivist first appeared in Unknown Armies 1st Edition as the Chronicler. All I have done is update it slightly for 3rd Edition. As people make choices their decisions are recorded, and these writings become histories, and these histories become fact. So reality is written. The Archivist is the observer and recorder of the people of his time. He watches and notes, speculates and dramatizes, scripting his accounts of the actions, decisions, and deceptions that make the human world around him. These stories need not always be factually true; fiction is often more revealing of deeper truths. Avatars of the Archivist must be creatively expressive: writers, photographers, filmmakers, or even musicians. Whatever the style or medium, her subject matter must be the people she observes. In the broadest range these could include the luminaries of pop culture and politics or the current works of prominent scientists and economists. Or they may be the specific occurrences, encounters, thoughts, and feelings of her daily life. Whether through poetry, journalism, art, films, or rock operas, an avatar of the Archivist must strive to capture something of the spirit of her times. Where the Scholar is concerned with the impersonal knowledge of history and academics, the Archivist wants to know what you had for breakfast and why you’re cheating on your wife.
