So I'm thinking of killing one of my Milliways pups...

It's all there in the title! I'm seriously giving thought to the murdering of one of my pups from Milliways, and I'm actually really excited about it! But first I should probably explain a little bit, like, say, who and why and how.

First things first: The pup in Question is Jack (Subject Zero) from Mass Effect 2 (noscaredkid) who I began playing in Mways

You know what is awesome? Creative people excited by the things they create. THAT IS AWESOME.

Is it still awesome if they're excited about murdering the things they create? <.

I've been playing a dead girl for five years, you think I'm gunna argue?

[huskandashes]

Except SOMEBODY IS BRINGING HER TO LIFE. WHICH IS LIKE THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I'M DOING IN EVERY WAY.

But no not really.

And yet you got annoyed when I suggested killing Kaye. Pfft.

[huskandashes]

To be fair, that was mostly character bleed. Ichigo doesn't want Kaye to die! D: Nobody reeeeally mind if Jack dies though. :D

Where are you? Want to see you!

I think this makes a lot of sense! At least as an option to keep in mind for possible later use.

Heck, one of my past characters (Alain Johns) is somebody I initially played as an NPC for his death scene so that his canonmates could play out that blaze-of-glory battle. And I finished the scene, looked at it as his friends carried on their reaction tags, and said "I'm apping him. I can't leave it at that. There's more he needs to say."

And I've never regretted that at all. Being dead at Milliways, especially after a life filled with action and purpose, is a very different proposition from being alive and able to wander to and fro at will. I eventually moved him on to the afterlife, along with his closest dead friends from his world and timeline, and I haven't regretted that either, but it was a great run. And I think a lot of interesting characterization stuff, for him and his canonmates both, came out of that.
