I'll try to come up with a reason why someone might hang themselves...

When he said he was a lifeguard, but forgot his Superman costume in another reality.

-2 people while I was writing the quest. Sigh.

Aaron Fleming

September 6, 1996, Fakenham, England.
From childhood, he was different, not like everyone else, but people and Aaron himself saw this differently. Adults considered him unlucky and pitied him, while his peers called him a loser, but the young man himself thinks quite differently, as he has been on the verge of death so many times, as he believes. When he was one year old, his parents forgot him at the dacha while they were drunk, where he spent two days without food or water. At the age of three, he ate a pack of pills, mistaking them for candy, but the doctors managed to save him. At five, he tried to build a pyramid out of chairs, but he couldn't stay on it, which led to a fall from a height. When he was in the first grade, there was an unpleasant incident with a tie and a fan, but everything worked out. Two years later, he almost drowned in the bathtub while learning to swim. At eleven, there was an accident with a watermelon, from which Aaron was trying to cut a piece, but something went wrong, and the blade ended up in the abdominal area. At thirteen, he was poisoned again by some unknown pills, mistaking them for candy when he was visiting his brother's friends. A year later, he shot himself in the shoulder with a crossbow bolt while trying to load it. At sixteen, he was almost hit by a car, but Aaron was with a friend who managed to react and sharply pulled his friend towards him, saving him from a drunk driver. As a result of the sudden and unexpected action, Aaron fell on his friend, but everyone remained alive and well. About two years later, another unpleasant incident occurred, but this time with a razor, with which the guy was trying to shave his hairy wrists, as he explained later, but he miscalculated the force. Two years later, he got drunk at a party and fell asleep, which his friends took advantage of, deciding to put a toy train in his mouth. The joke failed, and one of the cars got stuck in his throat, causing Aaron to almost choke. At twenty-two, he almost burned himself when he decided to experiment with cooking, having watched cooking videos on YouTube. Not paying attention to the fire and overdoing it with the oil, which turned out to be on the guy's clothes, he found nothing better to do than pour water from a bottle on the flame. The result was predictable. It was at this moment that his parents walked into the kitchen and drew conclusions. After several months of visiting a psychologist and futile attempts to explain that he was not trying to commit suicide, Aaron decided to take extreme measures. Sincerely believing that he was special and believing in his invulnerability, he set himself on fire, wanting to prove that he does not burn. Two years later, he ended up in Switzerland.
In his free time, he likes to play FIFA, publicly despises anime, but secretly watches hentai. He wants to live in Portugal.

I had a classmate like that.

Was that you?

No, but he did set himself on fire and then didn't show up for a while because he was in the hospital.

Oh, I thought you were talking about anime.

Klaus Kolberg
09/24/1987
Schaffhausen, Switzerland



Klaus grew up in a rather prosperous, albeit overly strict, family in the small northern town of Schaffhausen, right on the border with Germany. From childhood, his father had high hopes for his eldest son and demanded discipline, responsibility, diligence, and academic success. The young man had little free time, and his relationships with peers did not develop well. Although no one belittled him, he always felt alienated from the group.
After graduating from school with honors, Klaus, following his stern father's instructions, enrolled in the Economics and Business program at the University of Zurich. After completing his military service, he returned to his hometown with his service weapon and seriously doubted the life path he had chosen. Nevertheless, he soon found a job at the local branch of UBS Group, where he worked for the following years.
It seemed that Klaus's life was unfolding like a fairy tale: a decent job in a thriving country, a quiet and neat town with a view of the Rhine Falls, surrounded by magnificent Alpine forests and a mountain lake. However, despite all this, he could not shake the feeling of emptiness and lostness.
He tried to distract himself with various hobbies: sports, shooting, hunting; he tried to find another interesting activity in a different field, but nothing helped. Having lost all interest in life, Klaus began to leave his small apartment less and less often, and its bookshelf gradually turned into a storage space for alcohol. It is not surprising that he eventually lost his job, his relationship with his family, and even his place to live.
One day, after drinking heavily, Klaus shot himself in the head with his weapon, but miraculously survived. Lying in a hospital bed, he noticed an advertisement from Joseph Schmerltofer, about whom he had heard during his university studies, and decided to use his last chance to change his life.

Am I the only one, or does everyone else in this thread have a problem with alcohol?

It seems to me, or does everyone except me in this thread have problems with alcohol?

William von Braun



July 11, 1960, Munich, Germany

For some time in his life, William lived a very successful life as a typical German workaholic. He started working from a young age and by the age of 30, he already had a good position as a chief manager in an international pharmaceutical company, "Revan Health & Service." At 33, William already had his own large apartment near the center of Munich, a wife, a son, and a daughter - in general, an idyllic bourgeois life. At 40, William was already on the board of directors and greeted the new millennium with confidence in himself and his future. When the internet era truly arrived, William had a fixed idea that with the development of global communications and social thought, it would be a great idea to invest in ecology. Therefore, William took out a loan and founded the company "Krabbe & Jaschur Company," whose main areas of activity were waste recycling, city cleaning, and caring for Germany's natural resources. Unfortunately, William overestimated the progressiveness of society, so his new venture quickly became unprofitable. Since William never left his old job, he began to experience a lot of stress and started to lash out at his family. Two years into this life, his wife left the family, taking their daughter with her. It was after this event that William's life went downhill; neither expensive alcohol, nor a new marriage to a young model, nor a new car helped him cope with the difficulties and mental burden. By the age of 55, William was frankly losing his mind; he began to suspect everyone around him of lying and having malicious intentions. By the age of 60, William's heart began to fail, and he ended up in the hospital. It was there, in the hospital, that due to his paranoia and dementia, William began to refuse to eat, which almost killed him. Upon learning about this escapade, his son sent him for treatment to the fashionable doctor Schmertlofer in Switzerland, hoping that he would at least try to restore William's sanity.

Sorry if it didn't turn out very well.

Should I duplicate it, or is Tox's post enough?
