The Nerd



ＭＡＨＯＹＶＩＮ

The one who's got all the information on any non-fictional topic and is more than glad to share a slide of their knowledge with everyone else. They're commonly confused with Geeks, but the Geek knows a lot about fictional topics. Like the Geek, the Nerd has a Mind-Boggling Vocabulary that makes no sense to non-Nerds. As well as other typical things like big buck teeth, the Nerd, since Glasses Equal Smartness, will likely sport glasses. Bonus Points if they're black, bulky glasses with a taped-up bridge. Well-known nicknames for Nerds include "Poindexter", "egghead", and "four-eyes" (for those with glasses). The Nerd has few friends outside of the community they're a nerd about, evident in school. Speaking of school, the Nerd is also the one that Bullies and Jocks feed on when they need to show who's in charge (although the real person in charge is the Principal). If the Nerd is female, she might be the Noice, reclusive girl without any friends that the Main could fall for. She might end up being his girlfriend at the end or simply give him a Big Kiss. Female Nerds are nearly exclusive to school as their character would often not be suitable for other common situations.

Nerds best put their smarts to work in the place they're most typically seen: school. They easily score straight As, which can just as easily make them the Teacher's favorite student. Caring about school so much results in ridicule from the other students. This includes name-calling, pranks, and other forms of hellish bullying. Science Fairs are when Nerds can generally breathe easy and can let their intelligence shine without being picked on. They bring the most impressive and complex projects to school, sometimes being much more dynamic than what someone their age should be capable of. The students' parents may be present at this event, which is when the audience can confirm that smarts are genetic in the Nerd's family if the fact wasn't established earlier. Their parents are just as brainy as the child they produced, but they respect the rule of needing the project to be entirely the child's own unassisted effort.

UnTask Description
As a Nerd, you likely have the best smarts in the room at any given moment. This unique trait of yours will be best put on display at school where you will probably be ridiculed for your interests by those below you. Expect Bullies and Jocks to pummel you into the ground regularly while the others watch and cheer them on. You can find shelter with your fellow big brains including other Nerds, Geeks, and anyone else who could be considered the Brains. Your dress code will practically demand glasses by law, so make sure you give yourself eye problems to up your Smart Appearance stat.

UnStat Avg. 3.8 (C)

''The Nerd is a role whose general description and UnStats bear many similarities to the Geek, a related role whose stats are barely less favorable. Nerds are scrawny individuals who are separated from the mainstream students in school, which drops their Strength and Reputation by a damaging margin. However, their Skill, Influence, and, most importantly and notably, their Intelligence do their part in keeping the UnStat Average from dropping too low. A surprising high-scoring area in the Nerd's UnStats is Influence, ranking at 6 points. This is due to how Nerds are sometimes given the role of hall monitor, student principal, or leader of a group in their school. The UnStat Average is 3.8, placing the Nerd on the high end of C tier. If their fellow schoolchildren came to appreciate the Nerd for their smarts, their worst stat could sharply improve and set them on the very bottom end of B tier.''
