I mean, shit, I'm always down for my character to lose. Â If Zhi gets into a bad situation where someone has the capability to kill her and she doesn't have an out -- she dies. Â RP is more fun for me when my character is legitimately at risk.
(although too, I've also done combative rp with someone who is wayyyyyy better at writing combat -- he would help me with my posts so that I could accurately represent the character (which was just a npc, anyways, fighting against his pc in a bareknuckle boxing fighting ring) -- even if it meant his character got hurt)
But not everyone enjoys that. Â So you just have to find players who match your mindset. Â
I feel the same way. My character needs to have legitimate risks. If someone wants to kill him, and manages to kill him, he's gone. It's more fun that way for me and it gives more opportunities for both my character and those around him, as well as a bit of suspense knowing that I'd be more than happy to let him die should he succumb to his wounds.
