## Concept
The crewmember is the baseline member of the crew troupe and serves as a default mask for the game.

## Abilities
The crewmember has no special abilities.

## Gameplay
As a baseline role, the crewmember is the most "safe" to other players but is simultaneously the easiest mask to pretend to be.
Since there is almost certainly a crewmember at any population level, pretending to be one is almost certainly a safe claim that cannot be immediately disproven.

As a game piece, the mask highlights the best element of the crew troupe: ambiguity.
There's no clear way to sus out what a crewmember really is, so they become a constant question mark.
Are they really who they say they are, or are they just a traitor lying low?
