I'm not sure why I would need approval if I wanted my character to die permanently. Is it not my character, and not the community character? I am not trying to be rude or flippant....I am simply asking for clarity sake.
For example, Ruru is close friends with Zhavi in game but I certainly wouldn't need her permission to have Ruru die. She would be sad, yes, and rp would be altered to adjust, but again, just as irl, characters cope and adjust. I think asking for permission....it just doesn't sit right with me. I know others will disagree with me, but if at some point I were planning for Ruru to pass on, I wouldn't ask for permission. I wouldn't get an okay from the outside. I would certainly communicate my intentions, but would not alter them just because others maybe feel sad. I get that....but it's the natural reaction just as any death of a friend or loved one would be.
I think the idea is that when you decide to kill your own character, you're essentially setting a storyline for those your character knew, that must be dealt with. Majority of us like our RP to progress organically, so if I were to suddenly kill Warren for real, I would be forcing that story onto everyone he knew. Those players would then have to deal with the fact he was gone, and it would essentially be a big derailing moment in everyone else's gears.
Depending on existing relationships, suddenly losing someone could be a seriously jarring experience. It leaves an impact on those left to keep living, and it's not entirely fair to force them through that blindly.
