Hi there! I hope you don't mind if I ask one question I had, but I was wondering if you could describe Jack/Orange Man's personality. I really love the characters in the Dayshift series, and he's probably one of the most difficult to understand for me. I wondered what your thoughts were on who he generally is as a person. (Also thank you so much for seeing this series through to the end despite the stresses. The DSaF series brought me a lot of happiness!)
Jackโs actions can vary from route to route, and you also mightโve noticed that Jack isnโt alwaysโฆ himself, on LEGACY routes. But, certain traits do always carry over.Firstly, Jack is a bastardman not very touchy-feely. We can see this in many scenes, where Dave more or less says โI love youโ and Jack responds with deflecting humour, or outright scorn. When Dave says it for the final time, this time, Jack tries to say it back, but canโt outright, only getting out: โWhy is this so hard?โ and โI hope you can find peace with what youโve done.โ Which Dave understood the meaning of. (Hey, better than Henry (LEGACY Jack) hearing โI love youโ and proceeding to tear Dave limb from limb, huh? Itโs also funny, because Jack threatens to do that in the good ending (foreshadowing ftw))Jack is headstrong, canonically traveling from location to location on his mission of killing or saving kids. Heโs childish, with most of his activities being gratuitously stupid or strange. This is largely bc he died before he could hit actual adult maturity. Ironically, his kid sister ended up the more mature out of the two, since she ended up with such a large mantle. Jack loves dogs and thereโs a ton of small dialogue references to Jackโs connection with dogs in every DSaF game, to the point that his soul appears as a dog, because itโs the last family member he saw or embraced before his death.Finally, Jack is incredibly self-loathing and frustrated, seeing his own life as a curse, to an extent. While โgoodโ Jack makes the most of it, evil Jack allies with Henry, and goes as far as killing Fredbear, who gave Jack the โgiftโ to begin with. A fitting gesture, I sโpose.
