So tell me, friendslist

What's the first time you ever killed off a character?

One of yours, I mean, one you'd petted and fed and watered and seen grow. One who'd surprised you, multiple times. One you'd grown to love and see yourself in, and - more gratifyingly - see all the ways you're different and always will be. One you'd enjoyed knowing, in all his or her or its imperfect rambling ways.

I'm two martinis in and I don't know how to feel.

TELL A LIE. I did kill one of my characters off, back in Rive, YONKS ago. He contracted TB in his canon and slowly, slowly deteriorated in-game. That, however, was not what killed him. He was a happy-go-lucky Shinsengumi, and his housemate was a stoic samurai. After coming to such a point where he wasn't really living anymore, they came to a HEARTBREAKING understanding that would give him an honourable death ;;

We never shipped them IC, but OOC? omg, it remains one of my OTPs.

And yeah. In comparison to Para's two week 'lol, not-dead' clause, I know in comic-book/sci-fi-land NO ONE IS EVER REALLY DEAD once they're gone, but... I'd like to keep my superhero defying the odds for a few more decades, thanks.
