The Scientist

A Nerd who is paid for being a Nerd.

The one who does things with science, often for the betterment of the world in some way or just to learn more about some field in science. The stereotypical Scientist wears a lab coat, always speaks with a Mind-Boggling Vocabulary even when it's least appropriate, has varying laboratory equipment pieces laying around their home, Ain't Got No Friends, and is always creating some Quirky Gadgets. A Role Thing that Scientists do is pour contained multicolored liquids into other liquids to cause some sort of reaction (fizzing, lights, explosions) even though this is hardly how science works in real life.
