If I ever did it would be because I personally felt it was time for them. For one of them, her death is completely and totally off the table. One of them I feel like if I was going to do it her time sorta came and went but it's still on the table. People tell me all the time "Omg she's such a great character I can't believe you have the balls to be evil." But she's such a goddamn pain to play that....bleh. The other is just budding so too early to kill her.
With the folk I RP with, character death is really at the player's discretion. Everyone's been pretty awesome about it and before any kind of significant loss/kidnapping or things like that warning usually goes out to players who have characters close to them and I think it goes a long way to prevent any kind of hullabaloo and just allows things to play out. Works for us, anyway.
Injury is 100% totally on the table as is just about anything else. If I know the players involved and discuss it with them there is very little I won't touch or at least give a shot at. Even things I limit out, if I KNOW you and it's something you wanna go at then I'll probably be on board but would reserve the right to halt the process if it felt too icky.
