Nothing Left to Do but Die	comment	One of the reasons that immortality or agelessness sometimes sucks is boredom. Eventually you've seen everything, done everything, eaten everything, had sex with everything in every possible way, and you haven't read, seen, heard or played anything for a thousand years that seemed truly new or original. So, it's time to end it all. This is when a pseudo-immortal (can die in some particular way but doesn't die of old age) character decides to kill themselves simply because they're bored. Can occasionally happen with a character with human lifespan, if they're very old or if their life has been very eventful. See Seen-It-All Suicide for when a disposable character is shown to do this as a gag to hammer home how weird some event they've just seen is. Contrast Living Is More than Surviving and Worth Living For.

Nothing Left to Do but Die / int_1f630f72	comment	In Dark Souls III, many of the good endings for NPC sidequests are this. Once you've helped said NPC complete their quest, said characters are usually found dead later on. It's implied many of them killed themselves, since, as an Undead, they would eventually go Hollow and become mindless zombies once they no longer had any purpose (which they fulfilled by completing their quest). They must have learned from previous iterations, as in Dark Souls you'd often find NPCs and merchants Hollow and hostile after completing their quests or buying out their whole inventory.

Later in the short, Claude Cat, disturbed by the two mice wanting to get eaten by him, decides to get pulverized by Marc Antony, a bulldog. Marc attempts to mathematically (as in, actually using a mechanical calculator) look at the situation, but can't make heads or tails of it either, and decides to purposefully get caught by the dog catcher.

Dr. Cox soon sets him straight. Played straight in an earlier episode, where JD is forced to accept an old woman's desire to refuse the treatment and die, claiming to have lived a full life and seen it all. His attempts to show her that she hasn't all end in failure. Turns out she wasn't exaggerating; she really has done everything but die.

Nothing Left to Do but Die / int_49a88442	comment	Two examples from the distant past pop up in the Endwalker expansion of Final Fantasy XIV: The first being the nigh-immortal ancientsnote informally referred to as "Ascians" or "Amaurotines", though these are actually specific groups of ancients whose culture dictated that once one had seen their official tasks to completion to the best of their abilities, the only thing left to do was to "return to the star" and await one's next Reincarnation. There were, however, some oddballs among them who sometimes decided to remain in this life even after abdicating their positions and duties to an inheritor and then finding purpose in life beyond that of their official tasks. The second example were the Nibirun, a people of a distant Star whose society had advanced even beyond that of the highly advanced ancients, to the point that they had discarded all that which gave rise to sorrow and hardship. So, when the ancient Hermes sent the Meteia out in the universe to inquire about what filled other living beings' existences with joy and meaning, the Nibirun arrived at the conclusion that, without sorrow, joy had lost its savour, and with their civilization having reached the absolute pinnacle of what could be achieved, they no longer had any further reasons to continue living, either. Consequently, they all happily decided to commit collective suicide.

Once Arthas finally met his end in Wrath of the Lich King, Sylvanas committed suicide so she could finally enter the beautiful afterlife Arthas ripped her away from. Though she finds to her horror that her dark and extreme methods damned her soul to eternal torment in the Maw.

(While Dimensional Travel lets them drop in on the various afterlives without dying, it's just not the same as doing it the old-fashioned way...) Despite having both in and out-of-universe reputations as The Hedonist, this is actually considered to be counter to the actual goals of members: the sensation of agonizingly dying of a gut wound is just as important as the sensation of attending a wild orgy.

Nothing Left to Do but Die / int_6ac55ec7	comment	In Dungeons & Dragons: Not quite suicide, but similar: in the Classic game, characters who attain supreme Immortal status, but get bored with playing super-godlings, can forfeit their Immortality to be reborn as a mortal again. Characters who do this once, then work their way up to supreme Immortal status again, Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence and are permanently removed from play. Inverted by the Society of Sensation in Planescape: since they aim to experience everything The Multiverse has to offer, having died and returned to life is a prerequisite for promotion in the ranks.

Despite having both in and out-of-universe reputations as The Hedonist, this is actually considered to be counter to the actual goals of members: the sensation of agonizingly dying of a gut wound is just as important as the sensation of attending a wild orgy. Dragons are noted as sometimes reaching a point where they're so old and world-weary that they have no interest in living anymore. A metallic dragon is likely to simply curl up on its hoard and sleep out the rest of its life, but a chromatic dragon frequently will go on a wild rampage that devastates entire kingdoms in order to lure a group of adventurers to slay it in an epic last battle.

In the afterlife, he gets killed many times over, for every name he wrote in the notebook. Light, being who he is, chooses not to take that sitting down, and goes to bargain with the Shinigami King.

Nothing Left to Do but Die / int_9d7ec380	comment	A variant in The Good Place: much to the Soul Squad's surprise, they discover in the Good Place that an eternity of having everything given to you and being able to do anything slowly dulls your mind until you can't really care about anything anymore. To combat an eternity of ennui and knowing that the end makes the journey meaningful, they create a door through which the satisfied can walk, leave the Good Place, and experience peace. But no one, not even the omniscient Janet, knows what's on the other side. This works, giving the Good Place residents a new lot in the afterlife. The finale sees three of the four finding contentment and walking through the door (Tahani decides to become a Good Place architect); in the process, their energy is returned to the universe and they become the inspiration for good deeds in others.

Unfortunately, he has such an absurdly powerful Healing Factor that nothing he's tried has been enough to kill him — and that includes jumping into a volcano. "That was a rough six months." In Season 5, we find out that this happened with Maze's mother Lilith. Having existed since the dawn of time, in 1946 she finally had an epiphany that mortality is what makes life worth living. So, she gave up her immortality in order to live like a normal human; the episode after all this is revealed, she's discovered to have died of old age.

After they reach that point, it's usually not long before they get so incredibly bored that they "reset" (dying and being reborn with minimal power and without most of their memories).

Firo's response is to nod, smile... and then give a number of entirely bullshit reasons for why he can't do that, Dave, before admitting that he really just doesn't want to lose his mentor.

Nothing Left to Do but Die / int_d2219b0a	comment	Strata by Terry Pratchett has really good life-extension treatment that effectively leads to immortality. People still tend to die after three hundred years or so, though. Generally it's not technically suicide, it's just that they get bored enough that only increasingly risky stunts hold any interest for them, and eventually the risk doesn't pan out.

Nothing Left to Do but Die / int_d7c4626a	comment	The Sandman (1989): One of the possible motivations for Morpheus's probable suicide. But not Morpheus's long-time friend Hob Gadling. Despite being nearly a thousand years old, having held innumerable jobs and done and seen as much as a human can, and after losing countless friends and wives and lovers, and generally holding a cynical view of his fellow human beings, he's finally offered a chance to die by none other than Death herself. After thinking about it for a minute, he tells her, "I can't die yet. There's still too much to do."

Nothing Left to Do but Die / int_dc4363c5	comment	In True Blood, Godric, a bored 2000-year-old vampire, decides to stay in the sun. "Bored" may be the wrong word. Godric has seen human death and suffering in all variations, and his attempts to end vampire-human conflict goes poorly. He may just be tired of the futile cycles vampires and humans go through.

Nothing Left to Do but Die / int_e6758d93	comment	In Scion, there's a character named Niobe. Ever hear the story from Greek Mythology about how the gods created a cloud that looked like Hera to test Ixion's intentions? She was that cloud. She's lived for thousands of years, taken hundreds of husbands, and borne thousands of children, and she can't die. Even if someone kills her, she comes back a few minutes later. Players can get on her good side by either rejuvenating her will to live or coming up with a way to end her life for good. (A major reason to do so: she always knows where the Golden Fleece is.)

Nothing Left to Do but Die / int_ec9965ca	comment	The Culture: In The Hydrogen Sonata Ngaroe QiRia is a deliberate if narrow aversion. He's the oldest biological citizen in the Culture and has seen pretty much everything the galaxy has to offer in 10,000 years and still keeps living, albeit in a rather jaded, eccentric way. In the rest of the Culture, living forever is completely possible but considered rather tacky, so most hyper-elderly citizens tend to euthanize themselves when they've seen it all. One of these people is shown in Look to Windward — in a subversion, he considers delaying his suicide to see the concert being organised by the protagonist, but says that there's always one more thing to see, so it would just be putting things off.

Nothing Left to Do but Die / int_ef076a36	comment	Shows up in Star Trek: Voyager, where one member of the Q continuum, bored from reliving eternity from start to finish, begs sanctuary on Voyager so as to be able to commit suicide. Which he eventually manages, with the help of the Q who had originally argued against him. A quite literal case of committing suicide after having seen everything. Multiple times. From every possible point of view.

If you just walk away without killing him, he finds something else to live for by hooking up with Nailmaster Sheo and taking up painting alongside him, earning you the achievement "Happy Couple" instead.
