I mostly of the time simply continue to roleplay with the person on their new character. Of course I sort of miss the character itself, but in the end, it has always provided me with character progression when a close ties dies to my character.
I completely agree with this last part. Nero's death has been a huge catalyst for change for Roen, and I still miss that character dearly! I still plot with the player obviously, and I think it takes a lot of conviction to actually be comfortable in killing off a character you have invested significant amount of time and thought into.
As for planning to kill off characters I play...
Out of the three I RP/write, one is slated for death. I knew it from the beginning. She will complete her arc then her life and story will come to an end.
Another, I have always said that if her story finishes, she could die. Or retire.
And the third, I leave open. If RP throws a situation her way where her death is possible, I will consider it! If I think it makes for a good story, I may just go along with it! Certain players will have to be warned first though.
