Can you tell us more about Jakos Demented?? They seem really interesting on the website! Like how do they interact with other Jakosians? What do they think of humans? What do they usually wear and do for a pastime on Jakos?
Hello! I’d be happy to! The Demented, I suppose you could say, are the wild cards of Jakos. Many of them are unpredictable and can be dangerous, while others are extremely mild. They generally get along with the other beings on Jakos, but the Jakos Angels tend to stay away from them if at all possible. The Demented personally really like humans. In fact when the Special Needs Adoptions were opened to the Demented as well, it was difficult to keep some of them back. Many of them crave attention and companionship, as a lot of them are incarcerated or placed in secluded, therapeutic centers to try and rehabilitate them and turn them into semi-decent citizens. They are frequently the murderers, assailants, self-harmers, or generally just nonsensical lunatics. This tends to be all a part of their charm, however.
It’s common for people to be driven away from the Demented because of their intensity. They are certainly not beings for the fainthearted or easily set-off keepers.
Most Demented tend to be confined in some way, but there are a number of them who do live in the establishments on Jakos and lead fairly normal lives. It’s difficult for them to find work due to their mannerisms, however, but some of them do possess jobs as club bouncers or body modification artists. Because self-mutilation tends to be something they fancy, the more sane of the group like to offer their abilities as tattooists or body piercing artists. There are even some who like scarification.
As far as clothing, it’s generally whatever suits the Demented. I know some who love wearing neon like the Demons, and some who wear very drab or monochrome clothing that hangs baggy on their bodies. Generally the less sane they are, the less they tend to care about their clothing, though. I’ve seen some Demented who don’t do anything but sit in cells rocking back and forth speaking to themselves, and some Demented who could pass for being completely sane.
