Game Mechanic: The Madness Place
In this world, there are individuals who are called “sparks”. They possess amazing intelligence and creativity, and can make the most incredible inventions. However, they have a tendency to go mad. Every spark role has a Madness Meter. Every time they use at least one ability or action during a cycle, the Madness Meter will go by 1 at the end of the night. If they don’t use any abilities, it will go down by 2.
Every day phase, the player will receive a number of votes equal to their current Madness level.

Agatha Heterodyne
Gilgamesh Wulfenbach
Tarvek Sturmvoraus
Baron Klaus Wulfenbach
Lucrezia Mongfish
Martellus Von Blitzengaard
Othar Trigvassen - Gentleman Adventurer

Sparks
Against all odds, some sparks have decided to work together. Whether that is good idea or not remains to be seen.
Agatha Heterodyne
The heir to the nefarious Heterodyne clan, the maddest geniuses of Europa, she just wants to be left alone to do some science in her castle. Unfortunately, everyone in the continent wants to either control, or eliminate her.
[Dingbots]: Agatha’s first invention, little robots that also have the spark. She can make one per night, and have them use their ability immediately or save it for later. Each robot will be able to use one ability before being destroyed. She must make all robots once before making them again. Agatha use up to three robots per night.
- Flying Robot: this robot will find out a player’s alignment.
- Bomb Robot: this robot will explode on a player and roleblock them for a cycle.
- Fighter Robot: this robot will protect a player from one regular kill with its life.
[Heterodyning]: Agatha’s family has developed a special type of humming that helps them concentrate. After activating this ability in the night, she won’t receive any votes due to the Madness Meter in the next day. Two-shot.
