DE: Death can be such fun when you share it with someone

[bjornwilde]

This one just came in yesterday but caught my imagination so I'm using it today. This one may require white text for spoilers.

From herr_bookman :
Morbid and possibly spoilery, but if your pup is dead, what killed them? If you killed them, why?

To which I add: If they are going to die within canon, how will they? Or do you plan to take them there while within Milliways?

To which herr_bookman replied: I don't know how to include people whose pups aren't dead, too ... possibly, how would you kill them or have you thought about killing them?

There was a previous DE more along the lines of "how would you expect your pup to die?" so I've got this sorted out:

Enzo will be mortally wounded in the course of finally defeating Megabyte's ultimate upgrade (possibly Yottabyte, Ada help us). Realizing its futility, he will brush off attempts to heal him and instead ask to be taken home. There, he will say his farewells just in case before struggling through the portal in his closet and returning to Dani's world, where he will expire. There, his determination will preserve him as a ghost, and they will spend the rest of eternity (or however long ghosts last) kicking ASCII and taking names.

[ami_imperfect]

If Dani's not there with him, that last part will come after she's chewed him out and smacked him around a bit.

Joshua was thought to be dead for a while, even legally declared so. Teleportation accident and all that. As to what will eventually get him, I don't know. I have a Very Bad Feeling about where canon might go with him, but I'm just holding out hope that six episodes isn't enough to fridge him. All of that aside, though, he's AU in Milliways anyway, so I don't know.

Helena was a statue for a while, albeit a conscious one, but everyone thought she was dead. Again, no clue what canon's going to do with her, but in the Milli-AU... no clue.

Fantine died of malnutrition and probably some kind of disease And Valjean and Javert's EPIC ARGUMENT.

[never_shall_yield]

Javert: 0_0!!!! *glare* I DID NOT MURDER THAT WOMAN. *mutters angrily about damned Valjean and his crap*

[sdelmonte]

Charlie died in the pages of 52, from DC Comics. Of lung cancer. I have since brought him back from the dead. But it was a very moving moment.

Kirk will die at the end of the third worst Star Trek film, of plot complications. (OK, of a phaser to the back.) I plan to follow through on that sooner or later. Though if anyone ever wants to play Picard opposite Kirk I might give him a better death. (Note: Shatner revived Kirk for a series of novels set in the 24th century. They aren't bad, but they aren't necessary, either.)

Howard Stark dies in a car crash, along with his wife Maria, some time around 1985. No reason to deal with that too much for now.

My other pups are fine. Cy probably lives a fairly long life, though I suspect that eventually he will be a brain in a fully robotic body. Knox will die of old age around 2025. And Gibbs probably manages to live a ridiculously long time because Jack finds the secret of immortality after all and shares it with his first mate.

[camwyn]

Currently I have no dead pups. In the past I've had Gimli son of Gloin, who died of old age in Valinor (the Undying Lands they may be, but members of mortal races who go there are still ultimately subject to age and death); he came to the Bar when he thought he was walking through the door to the special portion of the Halls of Mandos set aside by Aule for the race of the Dwarves. He eventually went back when it was time.

Due to the nature of his canon Medic has been dead kind of a lot. It's just that Herr Engineer has built these excellent devices called respawners that resurrect you at the point of origin within seconds of dying on the battlefield- they only work if you die within range while the devices are operational, though, so dying somewhere else or outside work hours is not a good idea.

I had Admiral Zhao from Avatar: The Last Airbender for a while. He died of angry Ocean Spirit and came to the Bar shortly thereafter. Not sure how long I had him but he eventually just went on; I don't recall bothering to give him a send-off, but I could be wrong.

If I'd kept Hektor of Troy around long enough I would have eventually brought him in from just after the final battle with Achilles, because I have always wanted him to storm into the Bar all angry and bloody and exhausted and upset so that Bar could give him something to read, followed somewhat later by the sound of him shouting "THAT'S NOT HOW IT HAPPENED AT ALL!" and hurling his Linear B copy of the Iliad across the room.

I know how Mordin is going to die canonically. I'm not sure if I should give it away here before we RP it out, but I can link to Youtube footage of it if anyone wants to see. It is a hell of a death scene and any of my ancestors who were stage actors would be proud to have a death scene like that. Not sure if I'll keep him here after that or not; his people have a belief in the Wheel of Life, similar to Hindu reincarnation concepts, so he might opt for that.

[bjornwilde]

I know how Mordin is going to die canonically.

I'd be curious to see it.

[bcgphoenix]

I have a terrible habit of apping pups that wind up dead in canon. *wry* Curse my love of secondary characters. ANYWAY.

Gaeta: Firing squad.

The Trickster: will get shanked by Lucifer eventually. I have Plans for how he'll return to Milliways afterward, though. *serene*

Olivia: Will be shot in the head, but gets better! Because apparently she's Wolverine.

Bolin is the only one who doesn't seem to be in any immediate danger of dying, because he's a main character in a Nickelodeon cartoon, but I've still got a little wariness floating around in the back of my mind. *sheepish* And I have ZERO intention of ever killing him. He's here to balance out all the other terrible things that happen to my pups.

[varadia]

The first time Dean died he was a fading vegetable in the hospital. The second through one-hundred-something-th time he died involved the Trickster and various ridiculous scenarios, including crushed by falling piano and falling and breaking his neck in the shower. The hundred and first time he died was being shot in the motel parking lot. The second time he died without alternate/repeating reality involvement, he was ripped apart by Hellhounds. The third time he died he was shot in the chest by hunters just as he was waking up. After that I lose track.

X-23 gets vaporized by Belasco in Limbo, as an example to her teammates. She was brought back by him several minutes later -- probably to serve as a continuous future example -- but that didn't work out so well for him. Even if canon kills X again, she is not going to die.

Michael can only be rewritten, it's not the same.

Wonder Woman was killed by Neron, turned into the Goddess of Truth, then cast back out of Olympus for insisting on getting involved in Earth stuff. Go Diana!

Raven can't die. It's very sad.

Nynaeve will likely die of old age.

Sam Tyler jumps off a building.

Galadan will probably get killed by an up-and-coming andain far in the future.

[alexiscartwheel]

Wow, I apparently haven't watched nearly enough Supernatural. I don't think Dean's died even once yet.

[vance_prime]

Alyx had a canon near-death experience after getting stabbed in the back by a Combine Hunter. Hopefully she won't have to actually die in canon, but given that this is Valve we're talking about...

[acts_of_gord]

[alexiscartwheel]

Thoughts about any of my pups dying?

NO



Answer may be somewhat influenced by last night's very stressful episode of Teen Wolf.

None of my pups are dead in canon, and I don't anticipate them dying in canon. Actually though, in current canon Carol has a rather nasty brain lesion that is kind of killing her, but I trust in Kelly Sue that Carol will not actually die.

[varadia]

Oh my god last night's episode. *CANNOT*

[genarti]

I actually haven't played a lot of dead characters! Enjolras is my first in a while. (I think Alain is actually my only other one. He died, uh, shot accidentally by his friends just before a dramatic last stand in which he would have died anyway.) In general, I am more inclined to take a character who expects to die, and go "HA, you get to live! Figure out your next steps now, kiddo!" at them. See also Lan Mandragoran.

River will die in some kind of violent way, protecting or defending bystanders in some way, and she'll take a lot of the other guys down with her. I haven't worked out details beyond that, and I don't expect to have to. It won't happen until she's in her 50s or so anyway.

Regan, on the other hand, will die in the more usual way of some kind of illness, because her life is not one that generally risks violent death. I haven't settled it more than that, and I don't have plans to do so any time soon.

Trowa, no idea. He expected to die in canon -- he spends all of canon on what is basically a giant suicide mission, although everyone on that mission turns out to be really bad at dying of it -- and honestly has expected to die soon for most of his life. Child soldier is not an occupation that lends itself to long life expectancies. However, he has survived to age 25, and nowadays barely risks his life at all, so he gets to live for quite a few years yet!

Thor has died and ambiguously died and come back from death and so forth a bunch in comics canon, but so far the movie universe doesn't have those kinds of shenanigans. (Well, okay, Thor did ambiguously die of getting backhanded by a giant robot. But he got better! And may not actually have died that time; it was really unclear.) I do not have any current plans to figure out what would in fact kill him. When you have a cheerful mostly-invulnerable semi-immortal fellow running around, I feel, you might as well use him to be a comforting constant for his other semi-immortal friends.

Clare's canon is still continuing, so who knows if she'll die! She hasn't yet, although she's come close a few times. (Some of those times were really weird. See also: current canon.) If she does, presumably it will be in a dramatic Pyrrhic last stand against a really powerful monster or a collection of them. I suspect canon will do the same HA HA FIGURE OUT WHAT'S NEXT thing to her that I would, though. (But if she does die, she's getting to come to Milliways, and she and Teresa will just hang out in the forest even more than they already do.)

Enjolras: hahahahahahaha. RIGHT HERE. Executed by impromptu firing squad after the deaths of all his other friends on an extremely bloody barricade in the brief and unsuccessful June Rebellion of 1832!

[silveraspen]

Quick side note: I looked at the calendar a while ago and realized that we'd come literally halfway through what I'd handwavily figured would be a reasonable expectation for Gabriel's lifespan post-attack/illness/etc.

Um. Oops? Time flies?

(I'm working to revise that estimate! But let's talk at some point. :) )

[ami_imperfect]

Due to her being half-ghost already Dani may have a preternaturally long lifespan, so if she dies of old age it's going to be a long, long time. And that's only if she isn't killed in battle one day. It'd probably be in a fight against Dark Danny or Pariah Dark. Not sure how, exactly, death would affect someone who's half-ghost but after her demise Dani would probably become a full ghost and spend the rest of eternity protecting Amity Park from the hostile and annoying ghosts.

Malu is dead, killed by the Fire Nation, and has been dead for a good long while. I haven't played her for a long time so I'm debating having her finally move on from Milliways.

I have no plans to kill off Jinora. None.

Nor do I have any plans to kill off Munch. If I wait long enough SVU may end up doing that for me.

Rue was killed via a spear through the stomach in the Hunger Games.

[bjornwilde]

Ben has died a couple of times already in canon. First time was when Thanos got his hands on the Infinity gems and gauntlet and killed half the universe as a rose for his Lady Death. The heroes won out in the end and the dead were returned to the living. Second time, Ben was possessed by Doom who was using his body to kill Johnny one broken bone at a time. To stop Doom, Reed had to shoot Ben with a big gun, thus killing him. In awesome comic writing, they didn't delay the inevitable resurrection of Ben, but instead took care of it the very next issue when the remaining team went to heaven to bring Ben back. They would have failed but the Creater (who looked a hell of a lot like Jack Kirby) took interest and allowed it. Ben's final death, at least according to Hickman, is 10,000+ in the future and he dies of old age finally. He dies alone. which is sad, but he got to see the legacy of the Fantastic Four and Future Foundation, which was awesome.

Without going too much into it, Andrea will die of a possession and I do plan on going there. There is of course a lot more to it than that.

Hank has not been shown to die on screen and I can't imagine Val's death either. Same with Jessica.

Thalia will likely live a very long life (like centuries or millennia) but maybe dies in the fourth or fifth rising of the Titans. Sap that I am, I am sure William's name will be on her lips when she passes.

Anton has a long life ahead of him as well, seeing as how the more power you gain as an Other, the longer lived you seem to be. I don't know if he'll live as long as The Boss but it's possible. I am getting no hints of his death.

Quinlan managed to survive Order 66 and has been hiding ever since. Not being in the original trilogy, I imagine he died sometime before A New Hope or between New Hope and Empire. Likely he died defending his family when the Empire finally caught up to him. I don't know that I have plans to write his death but I have hopes he will show up in Star Wars Rebels or his son will be part of the new trilogy.

Also, I have yet to play a dead person but I was tempted to play through Emperor Norton's death and then have the Front Door open for him to any canon which features him as a character.

[never_shall_yield]

Gene - is dead. He got shot in the head, after only a week on the beat, when he walked in on some burglars in a farmhouse. He thought it was kids messing about, got his Gary Cooper head on...and promptly got it blown off.

But then, he's a stubborn git. By sheer force of will, he created a sort of Purgatory for coppers, who had issues with their deaths/near-deaths. And promptly forgot all about being dead himself. So he gets to live in a playground of his own making. He's in his element there, but then gets broken when the fixed souls have to move on. *pats him*

Bruce Wayne - not dead, despite rumours. Given canon, he will likely live to a decent enough age now, though his injuries from his time as Batman may shorten his time a bit.

Bruce Banner - would bloody love someone to find out whether he can die. He hopes he can, but suspects possibly not. The Hulk has proved indestructible so far, and he lives in fear of himself being unable to carry on from age, and Hulk taking over and living on forever. I have hinted that that might be the case in Millicanon, but there's still time for this to be addressed in actual canon, so am staying far away from it for now, Bruce's worries on the subject aside.

Javert - ahaha. Not dead yet, but is convinced he is. He tried to kill himself by jumping off a bridge. I have saved him from that for now - his eventual fate will probably be released back to the river. But with (hopefully), a more humane, and balanced, view of himself and society. Because then, he might actually get a shot at Heaven. Because omg, musical/movie makers, having him be the one character who doesn't get to the Final Barricade is just mean.

[genarti]

FWIW, I've always read the lack of Javert in the movie Barricade Heaven not as "Javert didn't get to go to heaven" but as "seriously standing around on a barricade with a bunch of revolutionaries waving tricolor flags IS HELL FOR HIM, he's over in some other corner of heaven watching police procedure get revised for greater effectiveness or something."

[orange_lily]

Yugo's death in canon takes place during the solar eclipse ritual: Phoenix kills him from the inside out and takes his place. Everything in canon suggests that this is extremely painful.

Phoenix then proceeds to die in the following ways: Bathed in dragonfire; frozen and shattered; turned to stone; massive internal damage from a hurricane-empowered kick, followed by being cut in half. He gets better from all four.

After that, the protagonists decide that killing him isn't going to work, and instead they shatter his wings, batter him with several elemental blasts, and kick him into the sun, where he dies and is reborn again and again but can't escape.

If Yugo, having veered off into AU at around the point where he would've died in canon, were to die now, it would probably still be due to Phoenix emerging from him. But on the bright side, afterwards Phoenix would probably devote himself to doing good, albeit in a very bloodthirsty kind of way.

[death_gone_mad]

But on the bright side, afterwards Phoenix would probably devote himself to doing good, albeit in a very bloodthirsty kind of way.

Amascut encourages more of this kind of heroism. Very much so.

[adiva_calandia]

Nita died once already in Milliways and was dragged back by Filif and Ronan, to her consternation. It's pretty much guaranteed that she'll die on errantry someday and it'll stick, which is something she has come to terms with over and over, both in canon and in Milliways. Although if I ever for some reason decided I didn't want to deal with plotting out a big dramatic death sequence with the Lone Power and the whole shebang, I'd hit her with a bus.

Although by rights Nita should go straight to Timeheart when she dies, I think she'd have to at least stop into Milliways to explain to her friends what happened. Or, you know, if I were mean, she would end up bound in Milliways for a time. Not that I'm ever mean.

Carmela is also liable to die either in combat or doing something awesome like skydiving, at the rate she's going, but I'd say her chances of surviving to a ripe old age and dying in her sleep are better than most characters in Young Wizards.

Epimetheus is immortal. I haven't given a lot of thought into what might happen to him if humans go extinct, or if Earth becomes inhospitable to humanity and they leave.

Kim will -- against all odds, as far as she's concerned, since most time she'd lay money on swinging at Newgate -- die of natural causes after a long and fulfilling life.

Tom will NOT die in a zombie attack, but that's all I'm sure of.

Kate, historically, died of natural causes in April, 1417, at the age of 46.

I've played a couple of dead characters! Technically the first was Henry Fitzroy, who died of vampirism (but got better) (insofar as he was a vampire); one of these days someone is either going to figure out what he is and successfully kill him, or (less likely) he'll screw up and get caught in the sun. Then there was Guinevere, who died of old age and came to Milliways, then moved on to reunite with Arthur in his kingdom.

Then there was Eustace Scrubb, who was killed in a railway accident; he came into Milliways from the last battle for Narnia, and eventually left to go on to Aslan's Country. (Poor Eustace. Man do I miss Eustace sometimes. What a dork.)

And then Valerie, from V for Vendetta! Who, uh, died horribly in a prison camp of an experimental biological weapon. I never played it out, but I like to think she eventually left Milliways to go to someplace full of roses and light and Ruth.

[genarti]

OH RIGHT Edmund was my other dead character! *laughing* I forgot entirely, I think because I didn't initially app him. SORRY ED.

In which case, yes, railway accident, went on to Aslan's Country also.

[the_lioness]

Alanna will die in battle. I can't imagine it any other way. Hopefully it won't be for quite some time, but I do think Jon, George and her family will outlive her.

Thayet will die of old age.

Jim will hopefully die of old age, but the mountains are a very dangerous place to live.

Doctor Evil will be hit by a falling piano and then cryogenically frozen, to return when Mini-Me decides it's a good time to de-thaw him.

Elizabeth is stubborn. She'll do everything possible to die at sea, I know that. If the ten years thing really was every ten years and not one decade-long separation as we're playing it, she'd meet death on her own terms to be with Will, when she was ready.

Grace's answer is in white text. Grace dies in canon, but I don't really love a lot about the last season of Saving Grace, so I'll probably change some aspects when -- if -- I get there. Grace essentially sacrifices herself to rid the world of an evil demon. It's not entirely altruistic, however, since the demon had a hand in her sister's death. (Aaaand that's the part I can't stand, along with certain things about what happens to Neely.) You can see Grace's death and some of the fallout in this vid (a little NSFW).

[aberration]

Elle died in the canon version of events, but we… just generally don't talk about that and pretend it didn't happen! /o\

So she is not dead. Her death is something I've... thought about, but I have no plans to kill her. But she will die someday, as she is both prone to getting into potentially injurious situations, and also very destructible.

Asami is not dead. She has no canon death and I haven't given any thought as to how she would die, or at least, how I would kill her.

Katara also isn't dead and has no canon death, but she's old enough by Korra that dying of some kind of health condition related to old age is becoming a real possibility. (Baseless speculation based on the season 2 LoK trailer!: There was a procession in there that I thought looked vaguely funerary rather than celebratory, soooo. )

Leslie never dies ever the end.

Manny is dead! There's no stated cause of death, but I like to think something really stupid happened, like a really heavy flower pot fell on his head.

Marceline is undead, and as a vampire is very hard to kill permanently. It can be done with enough sun exposure, and… maybe she can be staked? I don't know, she's really good at faking her death, too. In another timeline, when she wasn't a vampire, she died while protecting Simon Petrikov's grave because Finn is a butt.

Hiccup is not dead and has no canon death. But he does things like just throws himself off flying dragons, so I'm guessing it'll happen eventually.

[whatisastiles]

It is proven scientific fact that waffle consumption is the #1 leading cause of invincibility.

[bbq_platypus]

At present, none of my pups are dead or set to die in canon. Well, except Kane, but he so totally does not count. If getting stabbed through the chest and getting blown up by a giant fucking death beam from space - TWICE - can't keep you in the ground, you're pretty much never going to die.

(Although it's not clear what happened to Leela in the Time War - she might have died).

I used to play as John McCabe, who was shot with a bear rifle by a bounty hunter. He had just enough strength to kill the guy who killed him with a derringer before stumbling and slumping into a snowbank. One of the saddest death scenes I've ever seen on account of the circumstances it happened under. He was a lovestruck fool died pointlessly and stupidly over a business deal in a shithole town no one cares about.


But, having just now noticed the second corollary to this question, I suppose I will now speculate as to what may happen to the others...

Jim can't die, as he's a film character in a film where no fourth wall exists. Dreams don't die.

I can imagine a great number of deaths for Borgel. Something gives me the feeling that death by old age won't be coming for a while, despite his advanced years. For one, it's implied the Old Country might not be anywhere on Earth. Me, I'd like to think he'd die either happy or screaming whilst traveling somewhere in this big crazy universe of ours. Like, I don't know, let's say the Great Spinny Vortex of the Lenny Galaxy.

Leela won't die of old age anytime soon, having access as she does to the high technology of Gallifrey. I suspect she'll die fighting for something righteous. Perhaps in the Time War.

Caius will be granted the peace of an anticlimactic death after a lifetime of secrecy and danger. The guy deserves it, I think. If he doesn't get a peaceful death, I suspect death might come to him while investigating the nascent Thalmor movement in Alinor.

There isn't a chance in hell Tuco doesn't die violently. A botched robbery, a jilted woman - the list of possibilities are endless.

Garyn puzzles me. I'm not sure as to what his final fate will be. Not old age - the effects of the corprus will make sure of that. Maybe he dies in Akavir. Maybe he doesn't die at all and attains full enlightenment, reaching the final subgradient. Truthfully, I honestly don't know.

[not_my_sandbox]

Hoo boy.

I will start with the easy ones first.

Evil Chicken, like Cam's Medic above, dies alot but has been doing so for thousands of years. I've headcanoned that Death is tired of his shit and doesn't even try to keep her dead anymore. (Sorry for the pronoun abuse, canon is confused about Chicken's gender)

Fairy Fixit is going through some headcanonically tough times right now, but canonically she is safe in Zanaris. I don't see a reason for canon to do anything else to her as the fairy storyline has reached a conclusion unless the God War spill over into Zanaris. She'll die of old age unless my storytelling brain decides to kill her off with the fairy equivalent of liver failure (stop being evil. brain. :-( )

Amascut is my tough one. Very tough. She is a goddess of death. She was a goddess of rebirth. She is one of the weakest of the gods, only stronger than her adopted siblings.

And, gods are surprisingly mortal, in the Supernatural sense. (re: Dean, Sam, Castiel, the Trickster, Kali, etc.)

Now that the developers of Amascut's canon are letting it be partially determined by the players of the game, I am really unsure about Amascut's future. There are no shortage of players who want to personally kill Amascut, a small proportion who want to see her redeemed, and an even smaller amount that what her to keep on carrying on as she has. But, the developers may reserve her fate for their own purposes or may, as they have hinted at in a podcast, present another option for the players: Give her a power boost and make her a major participant in the coming God Wars.

Killing her might be canon breaking since whoever kills her will receive a major dose of divine mojo reminiscent of the Quickening in Highlander canon. Which might be good for payers in the Godless (in the Norse sense) faction who will want to use that mojo to go on a god killing spree. A suped up Amascut might be beneficial for them as well, as she will go on a god killing spree for them. But then they end up with a super suped up Amascut if she is victorious. Nah, that benefits no one who isn't doomed already.
The other factions will want her dead too, probably, unless the shippers are right about her. >.>

I have a feeling that she is doomed.

[kitchen_maid]

Both Amy and Meg Ford die of natural causes in a very, very distant future I have never bothered to give much thought to, because very, very distant and depressing to contemplate.

Both Lily Potter, née Evans and Remus Lupin die fairly (or very) young, battling Death Eaters.

Anna gets burned up by Michael while everyone is back in time, but as there was no standard-for-SPN-when-an-angel-dies shot of a corpse with wings scorched onto the floor around it . . . I've always figured it was at least debatable that only the physical form she was wearing was actually destroyed, though that was her last appearance in canon.

And the TARDIS . . . has kind of died, sort of, ish, if you look at it right, but it's all very timey-wimey and it makes my head hurt a little to try to sort it out.

[minkhollow]

The last dead character I played was Angel (complications from AIDS).

Cata and Sam, having made it through Mizzamir's bullshit, are both most likely to either die on the job or as a result of someone fulfilling a contract on them, both of which are things you make peace with as a Guild member. (This is why Cata's really damn zen about popping over to Medic's world and helping out; it's effectively a somewhat more dangerous version of her day job anyway. She did die a couple times doing that, but as Cam noted: respawners.)
Their world also has a few different resurrection spells; it's pretty hard to permanently kill someone short of cutting off their head or otherwise damaging the body beyond repair (I've millicanoned that draining all the blood will do that, and I believe drowning's the other method in canon specifically said to be permanent).

Claudia nearly killed herself trying to bust Joshua out of the interdimensional space, and she'd do it again in a heartbeat. At this point I don't think canon's going to kill her in what time it has left (though there was that moment we won't be doing and even the show reversed where she got trapped in a confined space...); in our stuff it'll likely be exhaustion, if we even play anything that far out.

Apollo has no intention of fading out of belief and into the background, thank you very much.

Imp basically did die in canon, of music with rocks in it. He's still around by an Act of Susan. No clue how he'll eventually die, but it won't be as exciting and that's fine by him.

Regulus is long dead by the time his canon starts. But I don't like the whole 'now he ded from horcrux poison and also zombies' thing, so I won't be doing that. I may let him die of old age eventually.

Red... well, I've kinda stopped keeping current with the show, and I suspect some of it writers-level depends on whether the pilot Meghan Ory was in got picked up, not that she's been on the show anyway, but she's most likely to go down defending her friends.

[ceitfianna]

Will has lived longer than he expected to. He honestly didn't think he would make it to his twenties since he thought he would be hung when he was seventeen. My headcanon is that he's going to live long enough to see Robin die with Little John and die not long after with his family, he's going to get one.

Charles, aha is from Marvel and he does die in X-3 in an awful manner killed by the Phoenix, but there's a hint he may come back. Since I'm playing Charles from much earlier in time and I don't trust Marvel movies or comics to be nice to him, I'm going to say he goes out doing something brave for the X-Men.

William is alive but his father is dead and in Milliways so he has complicated feelings about the dead here. He wants them to be happy but worries about them not being in Heaven too. His beliefs are a bit fuzzy since he appreciates all the people who can trust in a Heaven where everything's better but after the Civil War, he personally has issues in there being a god and a Heaven who makes it all better. My headcanon for him is that either he'll die either while being a sheriff or of old age.

Moist's possible death hasn't been mentioned by canon but I have a feeling that Death keeps an eye on him. Not as much as Vimes but Moist skirts Death a lot. I think he should get an interesting Discworld death that involves a plan that just didn't come through.

Jane according to history died of an unpleasant illness, historians can't decide which one in 1817. She was 41 when she died. I don't plan on getting to that point when playing her.

Demeter is a goddess and I don't know if she can die or fade away or go off to the Elysian fields. I think she would be happy to keep roaming the world.

Sameth is from a family that doesn't tend to live long and safe lives but they're working on changing it. I like to think of him dying in the middle of doing some work as an older man as the Old Kingdom prospers.

Tumnus dies of old age at some point after the Pevensies have left Narnia and meets them again in Aslan's Country.

The Pirate King if you follow through on canon, he ends up married and settles down where he lives a fairly respectable life. In my headcanon, I think he's not always that respectable and some of his old tricks get him killed with his family sighing at him.

Have you seen The Wolverine yet?

Just askin'.

[fullofmercy]

Caspian was originally brought in as dead, after living a long and fruitful life before succumbing to a combination of age and a broken heart (he wasn't that old, but sixty-six is pretty advanced in a medieval-ish era, particularly for someone so physically active and so often in situations involving warfare or sickness), but for his reboot, I revisited the idea and concluded (with the agreement of our previous Aslan-mun) that when Aslan returned Caspian to youth and health, he also returned him to life. My current plan for him is to live to a ripe old age in Ambergeldar, where he can be surrounded by family and friends. I already lost him once; I refuse to kill him again.

Nathan will die, and get better, at least twice that I can remember off the top of my head. Canon does it to him enough already; I have no desire to actively seek out his demise.

Danny...will hopefully die of old age, somewhere safe and peaceful and familiar to him. Unfortunately, his job is pretty dangerous, and there's a pretty high likelihood that one day he'll catch a bullet or a bomb with his name on it. In which case...I almost feel for the poor suckers who put Danny in mortal danger, or actually take him away. If you think Steve is on a hair-trigger now, you do not want to see what would happen then.

Jack is [spoilers] in his mid-forties when he's either killed by a tire blowing out in his face (the rim catches the bridge of his nose, knocks him flat on his back, and he drowns in his own blood) or beaten to death by homophobes. Canon is unclear. I've been threatened with dire consequences if I kill him again, though, so for now, he's safe. Here, because I hate love you, have the OOMs. (Warning for violence and spoilers for Brokeback Mountain.)

:D?

Emma has thus far escaped anything really mortal, but I don't expect that to last.

At least she wasn't eaten by a dragon. (Yet.)

Wolfwood dies after a shootout with his predecessor and teacher, but not before saving Vash and taking a moment to give confession -- the first he's ever had.

I don't think I could ever kill Jack. Hell. I can't even deal with the canonical deaths around him.

As for M........... <.< >.> <.< >.>

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Jack Bauer can never die. No one will ever be able to track down all the Horcruxes he's made.

[herr_bookman]

Canonically, there's no real hint of Autor's death, or even what he does with the rest of his life. Everyone else is shown happy and moving on with their lives, while he's still stuck in the same rut.

I may have written a never-to-be-used OOM with a possible grisly end though, hence the curiosity about other pups.

[inlovewithwords]

I can only conceive of this for two of mine:

Lois, who knows. Depends on version of canon. But either she'll die On the Job investigating something, in a death trap being bait, or of ripe old age thanks to an overprotective alien hovering over her constantly. DC One Million is my headcanon dammit.

Tavi will probably live to see at least some if not all his grandkids born. Maybe even some greats, he married younger than his family usually does. That, however, depends on when he turns over the Crown to Desiderius and what he does after. Frankly, I can see him turning it over younger than some people expected, and then he and Kitai promptly go off to explore the Feverthorn Jungle just for fun. Maybe they disappear into it, maybe they succeed in exploring and making contact for the Realm, and then die of ripe old age (to the great consternation of his enemies). I think he'd find that boring--but then, after the Vord, he wants some boring.

Boring? That's the bit between disasters and death threats right? I think I remember boring. #thingsfortavitosay
