The "How Would Your Character Die" Thread

[whitewolfzita.livejournal.com]

A thought that was thrown around in chat was "How would your character die, theoretically, in game?"

So, morbid topic though it is, it's kinda an interesting one to throw around. If your character were to die in game, what kind of send off would you want to give them? How would they go out? What would they think about it?

Go nuts!

I have an allergy to killing off characters XD

But if I were going to...

Jeka is a Legionnaire first and foremost, so she'd go out a) protecting someone or something or doing something that would save/protect a bunch of other people and b) with no regrets. Well, okay, if she died before finding out that her timeline went kerflooey, she'd regret not making it home; but ASIDE from that, no regrets.

Unless Ax was taken completely by surprise, he'd go out muttering the Andalite ritual of death while hacking and slashing the ever-living crap out of a bunch of bad guys. He certainly will NOT die in a space ship collision after becoming a member of the Borg. *grumpy*

Paco's last words would be a reassuring joke thrown over his shoulder or some kind of battle cry. He'd also be kind of surprised -- it's not that he thinks he's immortal, but he knows damn well that Jaime would do everything he could to keep him from dying. But keep in mind, this is a guy who tells the ex-wrath of God that has been kicking Jaime's butt to "bring it, you purple freak".

Jonas...oh, Jonas. He's my character Most Likely To Die At The Hands Of The Crew Because He's Turned Evil. But then, he's also my character Most Likely To Have Emergency Back-Ups In Case He Goes Evil. Otherwise, he'd die protecting Cassie, or as the result of a time-travel mishap. He's hard to kill though, being a synthetic intelligence installed in a suit of time-travel armor from the 30th century. Seriously, Kang's died how many times now?

I'm the opposite. I have a propensity for killing off my characters.

If I were to do it, this is how for each:


Sam would be captured by an enemy, undergo excruciating torture, eventually be rescued, but die from his injuries.

Sawyer would die saving one person's life, likely by taking a hit that the other person doesn't see coming. I also see the person he saves being someone the other characters wouldn't expect him to save.

Lyta I see dying in one of three ways: 1) using her telepathic abilities to single-handedly hold off a massive army long enough for the others to escape; 2) burning out by battling a more powerful telepathic threat and maybe having her consciousness absorbed by Stacy, or; 3) for whatever reason (and I have a myriad of them) she goes "bad" and becomes a threat to the crew and they have to kill her.

Gambit would be the first victim of either a pandemic or a bad guy who up until the point of Gambit's death hadn't been revealed as being bad.

Cale would die in an explosion that vaporizes his body.

Oh...and two of these people will die. :D
