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.
In what I described above I'm referring to actually acting out the death in RP with other character's present. From my experience, there is a much more realistic sense to having the character die with their friends and loved ones actively watching/being unable to help vs. a narrative or forum post.
Ros had to watch someone she loves dearly (but will never admit to that) almost die pretty gruesomely in front of her while she was nigh powerless to help and she can't even hear about the method of how he did it without flying into an emotional fit. I've only had a couple RP's ever bring me to tears IRL and that was one of them.
Hence why I tend to think discussion beforehand is pretty important.
Depending on how seriously the people you are playing with take their RP you could be asking a lot.
