I largely don't have any problems with character injury, but character death is something I want to be tied to the closure of a narrative. When I've killed off characters in online RP in the past, it's always been to conclude their story, and after letting my RP partners know why it's happening. Having been on the receiving end of RP partners just simply vanishing, only to come back some time later and say, "Oh, well, my character died, ta-ta," I don't really want to put anyone in that position. Randomly having a character die, unless that's the sort of RP a group likes, tends to leave some feelings raw -- in much the same way people can get raw when an author, by plot twist, kills off a beloved character in a story.
