Being immortal probably made him go depressed so he started to do random stuff to try to make him happier or kill him and he knew no matter what he did he would always come back for the rest of Eternity so he did dumb things and always made jokes to be happy that's what I think why people depict Dr.B as weird insane and made a list of things she's not allowed to do

If only there was a way to give Dr. Bright a hug without touching the amulet, cuz dude NEEDS a hug.

[@RainbowEssence-c3w]

Same lol. I suppose if you don't make skin contact it's safe? So assuming you aren't shirtless and you're careful not to touch the amulet directly with your hands, then it'd probably be safe to give him a hug? Reminds me of one Tale where Bright mentions that having sex is very difficult because he has to be careful not to let his amulet touch his partner's skin, leading to some rather interesting (and probably not the most comfortable) positions. 😂

[@mlgbrogaming7719]

@@void-9572 my point exactly.

[@AngelArcher17]

I’m assuming the amulet is like a hard drive with Bright being the computer, it contains Bright’s knowledge and memories . If you connect a hard drive to a computer and transfer copies of data and info onto said drive from the computer, both the drive and computer will have the same info. But when you disconnect the drive and store it away for a month, it’ll miss out on any new info the computer may have received. So if the computer is destroyed, you have back up info, but not everything you might have needed. Also seeing that the SCP Sites seemingly get raided every few months by GOIs, it’s probably less of a security risk to have Dr. Bright wear the amulet at all times cuz he’s usually good a defending himself, from what I’ve read and heard.

[@beez1717]

Why don't they just allow him to imprint on one person and then lock away the amulet in the storage drawers so he can't duplicate himself and only allow him to use the amulet if his host dies?

[@SutaFokusu]

If the amulet is taken off the host dies

[@eojamgil]

They want to exploit him, you know, that's basically what they like to do

[@AngelArcher17]

I’m assuming the amulet is like a hard drive for Dr. Bright’s mind, soul, memories, etc. For example, your computer has Data A and your hard drive has Data B. The computer constantly gets more data and info while the hard drive sits in a box. One day the computer dies and there is no way to transfer Data A to the new device and you only have Data B a.k.a the Hard Drive a.k.a The Amulet. This is just my take on this question. Another reason on why they keep making him switch bodies could be security reasons, if the amulet was always sitting in one place it would be easier for GOI’s to steal, but due to Bright’s “Wherever needed” basis, he and the amulet are constantly on the move.

[@harrysachz6748]

That image of death running from Bright though. All I could think was Jack is such a troublemaker that death doesn't even want anything to do with him. Though I do feel a little sorry for him since he does have to watch everyone else around him die.

[@PyroGothNerd]

He's actually not a troublemaker. The "Things Dr. Bright is not allowed to do" list was made as a joke, and is not reflective of his actual personality. He's usually just depressed.

[@ceinwenchandler4716]

One of my characters got kicked out of both afterlifes for being too kleptomaniac to handle and ended up as a ghost. Unfortunately for humanity, they can't kick her out of earth, so she just spent the rest of time stealing things there.

So what happens if the necklace was taken off and stored? If the necklace was removed and Jack Bright was killed would he just be alive in the necklace aware of his surroundings or circumstance? Or would he be inanimate until worn again.

[@RainbowEssence-c3w]

What confuses me is if removing the amulet causes the current host to cease higher brain functions, how would Dr. Bright create copies of himself? Every time he'd remove the amulet the current body he's possessing would effectively become a vegetable. Also now I'm curious, if there were to be multiple instances of Dr. Bright would his consciousness inhabit just the "original" body (whichever body he's possessing before making a copy of himself) or would his consciousness inhabit every copy?

[@orionskittles]

After 30 days of the amulet remaining on the same body Dr. Bright's consciousness stays there even without the amulet, which is how he would be able to create copies of himself. Also I think his consciousness would inhabit every body.
