I have done this in the past. Â The lifespan of my characters in other places have been short, often meeting in a bad end (planned and unplanned) depending on how the story progressed.
I have also created characters that I expected to have short lives only to find that they somehow survive. Â In fact the first character I created with the anticipation of a short life-span survived numerous encounters and became a pawn in a much larger plot before her final (and unexpected) demise at the hands of an ally. Â It was a wonderful tale and I had a lot of fun with it.
I have two more characters I expect to die at (some) point just due to the nature of who and what they are. Â One is a lawful evil woman whom is currently crafting her diabolical schemes and research using "human" test subjects and working to manipulate the minds of other players. Â I've had a number of people have interest in being involved with me in this, subjecting their "good" characters to the plot devices I am crafting but in every great fantasy epic eventually the villain is vanquished and I do not expect this to be any different. Â One day... I expect the story will come to an end and she will be killed but until then.. I am enjoying stirring the pot and creating a nemesis of good.
I enjoy the "risk of death" in my roleplay. Â I also enjoy observing the mortality of characters which is why everyone my characters legitimately lose due to character death often comes with true mourning and observation. Â My main alone has hosted a few funerals and now a widow whom has buried two past loves... there is a sadness to her and a reservation when it comes to making new romantic ties. Â Seeing how characters change and grow... is one of the main driving forces that makes me love RP.
