George,
Good points, yes, character death should be meaningful. A lich dying to reunite with one’s family certainly works.
West,
Oh, so that’s what narm means, I had no idea.
NARM. Hey, is this it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiOKNggPh4Q “narm...” *dies*
In ALIENS, aliens die like crazy everywhere; way more aliens die than people, though this is understandable. They often charge directly into gunfire or turrets and die, however, they do learn here and there. In the games, most xenomorphs willingly charge directly into your gunfire, as another example. It seems aliens are only smart when alone, curiously enough.
...And dying from seppuku sounds brutal. What makes it even more brutal, is that it’s historic.
About character death,
When I joined RPs, I often had this mind: how to kill my character off, as I am willing to do that, just need a good moment, yes. Spirry was often meant to be a character who dies, as George may remember from The Moths Wings. Even though Spirry always comes back in another story, he still dies, and an ultimate death to finish him, once and for all, is planned for my own works somewhere in the future.
