No one should ever find themselves in a position where they really feel pressured to do something terrible to their character, the consequences of it certainly do reverberate beyond the one character. This is both sadness, and opportunity for RP, and growth, etc. At the end of the day, though, RP that takes place in a bubble where that grisly outcome is dismissed from the start, is RP that loses that much additional tension and believability.Â
This post did, though, really make me think about it some more. I understand your position Warren, and appreciate the care (I know it wasn't directly personally toward me, but nonetheless!) ^_^
It definitely leads me to think that killing off a character in a non-chalant non-necessary manner is really not a good idea. Better to let the character retire into obscurity.
