    So I have this class called "Game Design II". We have to create a fully functional board game that can potentially be sold in the real world. We're still in our early stages of development... but so far our theme is space survival. To sum it up, we are on a research station in deep space investigating an alien life-form when something goes wrong. We've lost power to our ship, our test subjects have escaped, and most of our crew is dead. We have to salvage our research, activate the self-destruct sequence, and get back to earth with our findings.

    Each character will have a side object of some sort that they will have to carry out without letting other players know. So far I've come up with six generic characters to be played: The hero, soldier, nurse, mad scientist, engineer, and the mad man. The Hero, soldier, nurse, and engineer are all good/honest in nature. The mad scientist and mad man are dishonest/evil in nature. I'm looking for a few more evil characters to even it out, but can't really think of anything else.

    Have an idea? Please share it with me! Post the character's name/role and what he/she could possibly do as a side objective on this research station.

    Example:
    - the engineer's objectives are to restore power to the ship/activate the oxygen system
    - the mad scientist's objective is to splice alien DNA with human DNA
