Editing Genius The Transgression/Chapter One: The Cosmos (section)

===Motivation:===

A Hoffnung is defined by hope for a better tomorrow―whatever they call "better," of course. Their attempts to transform the world define them. Hoffnungs are, of all geniuses, those most determined to make their wonders "work" for regular people, and they are often the most proficient at creating objects of mundane science and technology. Whether building wonders, messing around with mundane technology, or looking to "adjust" human society to make it more amenable to the genius' vision, the Principalities are always defined by what they are doing, at any given moment, to make the world they imagine into reality.

Once Inspired, a Hoffnung often works to understand the underpinnings of Mania and how it relates to human interaction, in a desperate quest to escape the fetters of Havoc. This process can be dangerous―both physically, since Havoc is not to be trifled with, and psychologically, since it can lead to believing that one's wonders should work―but it also makes Hoffnungs some of the foremost experts on Havoc, and gives them a firm grasp of the principles behind it, and how to avoid it.
