The one time I wrote killing a character I think I cried all through the whole post.

I think it is all situation. All characters should be eligible to die in a roleplay like this, because we can't have 'Mary Sue' characters just running around. It does suck to have a character you've spent so much time and effort on to just die, but inevitably, it's going to happen. Unless you leave the forum or retire the character to a nice villa on the beach.
I've had two (four if you include minor secondary characters) who had died, and I did contest one a long time ago. I think a large issue with death is the perception of fairness in your character's passing. One was a Jedi Master who lost a lightsaber duel, and my other one was a criminal who was just on the wrong ship at the wrong time. It was an evacuation thread, and so there were a lot of NPCs and a few PCs on one ship, with a single pilot. For some reason the pilot ignored the opportunity to make the jump and instead engaged in combat. the RPers involved in that were definitely not happy with the result, but there wasn't really a fair justification for the passengers to survive.
tl;dr = Don't mind characters dying, as long as I am in control of the situation, and it's my own fault that they don't survive.

I like my Major Developement changes to happen in public threads. Stuff like alignment change and death, because this allows other people to interject in that scenario so you could hypothetically be saved. If it happens in a public I'm okay with it, since I believe that is where most stuff happens.

I am fine with killing off my character, if I become no longer interested in progressing his story.
But instead of dying in a grand battle, I feel like it would be more fitting for him to die in some ridiculously stupid way.
Like he doesn't look both ways before crossing the street and gets hit by a speeder taxi or something.

I laughed harder than I should have at that ;_;
If Ire were to die in a non-epic way... I imagine one of two things happening:
A: She gets lost in the woods and just kind of dies of thirst or something like that.
B: Her hallucinations get in her way and she accidentally stabs herself while trying to stab them.
B has actually happened before, it just wasn't a lethal wound.

I put "other" only because I'm ok with character death because I'm all about the story, but a characters death should always be the decision of the writer (which if I'm not mistaken, is the system we have now!). At the moment, I couldn't see myself killing Kian off.....it is far to soon in his story!

it's complicated.

If it makes sense to die, I'm fine with it.
Every one of my characters wherever I've written all die young, tragic, or ironic deaths.
I already know when Silara will die.

Put Other. I'm fine with my characters dying as long as it's realistic. Usually I, personally, don't look to kill an opposing character and leave plenty of alternatives to death however death happens to everyone.
I'm thoroughly against the one post kill or instadeath mind you.
