What Happens to JĆørgen on the Island - An Ending.
Iām probably not going to rp on this blog anymore, so I figured itās only fair I tie JĆørgenās story up nicely.
As far as survival is concerned, heās doing just fine. Heās athletic, experienced, and has all the materials he needs to not have to worry extensively about surviving on the island, so thatās not really a problem for him anymore.Ā
His big issue is simple: the majority of the people he meets end up dying. Compared to most of the other people on the island, JĆørgen has a pretty normal, happy background, and isnāt really used to tragedy and death on that scale, and it takes a mental toll on him. Slowly, he starts disregarding strangers, because he finds it easier to not form new friendships that will only end in death. He keeps the friendships heās already made, but stops himself from getting overly attached to anyone that he doesnāt already consider one of his best friends (Liz, Fry, Wheezy, and Wilson from @dark-comes-quickly, @asharkandhisuit, @wheezythesmoker, and @ananxiouswilson, respectively). If one of those four died or became impossible to communicate with in any way, that process would be accelerated greatly.
However, humans are social animals, and repressing the human desire to be social lowers JĆørgenās sanity considerably. However, since heās losing sanity in a different way from whatās normal in game, since itās a loss of sense of relatability instead of a sense of safety, the effects are different. Shadow creatures form, but instead of taking the form of monsters intent on killing him, they take the form of people from his past that he remembers, though whose names heās forgotten. They remind him of how much heās isolating himself and torment him by reminding him that heās throwing away a vital piece of his human needs.Ā
Even ties with his closest friends become worn down as he makes himself determined to stop being invested in other people.Ā
However, thereās one other primal aspect of his psychology that remains very much alive: his sex drive. If he encounters someone he isnāt already close to, but thinks he can get into bed with them, heāll interact with them, but only with sex in mind. He doesnāt allow himself anything more.
Eventually JĆørgen brushes off everyone, including the people heās closest to (or they die, Iām not in charge of their destinies), and becomes completely unattached. Though without attachment to other people, he starts to lose human conventions that only exist to make one more appealing to other people and society (using utensils to eat food, hygiene, wearing clothes for a reason other than warmth, not being a cannibal, etc.). Slowly, JĆørgen loses everything that separates him from being a beast.
And thatās how he ends up: as just another beast on the island, impossible to communicate with and caring about nothing more than his own survival. Other people become nothing more than a potential food source, and JĆørgen is no more human than the other beasts that roam the island. Thatās how he remains for the rest of his life.
