I'm open to injuries and near-death experiences, death is something I'd probably reserve for something 'special'. I enjoy playing my characters, and I've killed a few off, but mostly just before I was going to quit a game I knew I wasn't coming back to. Arrelaine has already almost died, spent months healing from it and then some more work to repair damage.
However, if I were to kill off a character, I'd probably give my RP partner a heads up so they can prepare to react accordingly, but ultimately I make the decision on what I do with my character. I give the same courtesy to them. If they wanna kill off their character, cool. They ain't even gotta tell me. It's their character. My character will deal accordingly. It's the risk you run with co-authoring a story with someone else you have no control over.
No one should be bleeding enough that they still can't be my friend OOC after IC things happen (honestly, I probably wouldn't be RPing with those people anyway, I'm not fond of bleeds; I get that you can get the feels from RP but they really shouldn't be affecting your daily life and OOC relationships). No one should be getting grief over an IC decision. It's unfair to ask someone to do something they don't want to do with their character, regardless if it's asking to not kill them off or something else.
