Character Graveyard

Stole this from the Yorkers, who stole it from somewhere else.

I saw this on another forum and nicked it for here. This is a place to eulogise those who have fallen in the name of literary abandon. In other words, give us a tribute to the characters you kill. Let's see how high the body count rises!

My MC killed a pedophile. I haven't given him a name yet. I think my eulogy would be, "Cheers for being my inciting incident. I'm glad my MC stabbed you so many times."

I think I might have lost Leo - he's a bit fawny. Could be a JR-type revitalisation though.

One dwarf 'Redshirt' down. His name was Borril.

"... . Borill will be greatly mourned,” Hurin said.
“He died in battle,” countered Prince Duri. “He will be greatly honoured. His shade will pass through the Twilight Paths of Judgement and Garni will grant him a seat in Vashalt’s Hall among the heroes of our ancestors.”

One Mayor DOWN, and his wife.

Mayor and his Wife , i am sorry for killing you when you had a very amazing daughter who was only 7 years old.
I promise I will not kill her too. But oh my goodness. Getting up at shouting at a bunch of dudes with guns is a bit idiotic.

I think I'm about to lose Rowena, but it's okay, we haven't known her long. However, her tragic death from the nebulous plague on the colony planet will galvanise Our Hero into acknowledging (but not confessing) his feelings for his best friend, who has also been stricken with this terrible illness.

Felix was killed for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It can be dangerous work guarding a prince, especially when an enemy country is trying to kill off the royal family and start a war. Unfortunately for the prince to get injured, his attackers had to get past the guard first. Sorry Felix!

I've just realised that one of my characters (who unexpectedly entered the story yesterday) is going to have to die.

Sorry 'bout that, Winter, and sorry that so many crappy things happened to you. in the two years before your untimely death at sixteen. But hey, at least you provide some nice literary parallels between you and Nat. You've gotta be proud of that, right?

Oh, you'd rather be alive than a literary parallel? Right. Umm, sorry.

RIP Robert van Buskirk. You were a racist, xenophobic zealot prick, and you probably deserved to die. You were a terrible person, but you might be missed, maybe.
Maybe you'll get a nice plaque.
