Summary: You are a suicidal maniac; your fear of being lynched keeps you awake at night.

Alignment: Neutral Benign

Unique: No

Goal: Get yourself killed at night by any means, apart from sleep deprivation

- If you get lynched, you lose.

- If you die of sleep deprivation, you lose, even if you die in more than one way.

- If you die at night.

You must choose a form of rest every two nights, if you do not choose a form of rest for two nights in a row, you will die from sleep deprivation and automatically lose.

You can choose to either sleep or drink coffee.

You have unlimited sleeps, but only one coffee.

If you choose to sleep, you will gain Powerful defence for that night (by putting yourself in isolation) and your sleep deprivation will be delayed for two nights.

If you choose to drink coffee, you will not gain any defence for that night, your sleep deprivation will be delayed for two nights.

If you are hauled off to jail, you will not be able to sleep or drink coffee (you will die of sleep deprivation if you did not rest the night before and lose even if you are executed.)

If you are role blocked/pirated you will not be able to sleep or drink coffee.

If you are controlled you will not be able to sleep or drink coffee, however, if the Witch/Coven Leader forces you to target yourself, you will automatically sleep.

Sherrif: Your target is not suspicious.

Investigator: Your target could be an Escort, Transporter, Consort, Hypnotist or Insomniac.

Witch/Coven Leader/Consigiliere: Your target wants to kill themselves before their sleep deprivation finishes the job. They must be an Insomniac. All in all, this role is basically a Survivor with OP vest + reversed Jester (aka Jester goal is get lynched during the day but this role is during night). So rejected for being overly OP. How is this overly OP? The goal is to die at night without dying of sleep deprivation. It has to rest every two nights to delay the sleep deprivation, and if it chooses to sleep it gains powerful defence WHICH prevents almost all attacks, HARMING the chance of winning. It has only one coffee where it can rest without providing powerful defence for that night.

IT'S NOT A SURVIVOR WITH OP VEST, ITS GOAL IS NOT TO SURVIVE, ITS 'VEST' DOES MORE HARM THAN HELP

GOAL: GET YOURSELF KILLED BY ANY MEANS, APART FROM SLEEP DEPRIVATION  How about reversed jester role then huh? You can't just say "oh that's just a umm a umm eh" Yeah, you could say its a reversed jester. Not that it matters in any way at all.

Tracker is a reversed Lookout.

Consort is the exact same as Escort.

Coven Leader is the exact same as Witch.

Consigliere is a rehash of Investigator.

Medusa is a rehash of Veteran.

A rehash/reversed role does not make it bad.

Also, it's not as simple as a reversed Jester. It has to rest every two nights, resting will give him Powerful defence with the exception of one time use Coffee, so the Insomniac would have to use a tactic to get him killed on a night (Vet/Medusa-baiting tactics may come in handy here) where he does not have to rest and/or has Coffee available.
