BRING IT! I am ready to bawl my eyes out!

OC death? I've never had an OC die before, but if you want the most tragic death of any of my characters, main or not (because I consider the characters I rp with OCs, but not say, members of their families OCs, bc I don't rp with them), then I'll have to go with Izzy's parents (sorry can't decide between the two). So her mom, she died during childbirth (of Izzy's younger sister, Misty), and her dad died in a car crash.

OOF, that's really rough. Maybe I just kill off my characters way to much XD

yeah XD, anyways
shameless plug coming up

i have this rp that no-one's joining and idk why, i mean it's one of those where a million people could join and that would be fine cause i'm bored and did you want to join it?

I have a character that is just this little ball of fluff, that loves making people smile and wants so badly to settle down at the end of the story and raise a family. He works really hard and even has a girlfriend. He's killed by the bad guys near the end of the book. But what's worse is that he died making sure that my MC made it out alive to beat the bad guys. He never got to reach his goal, and he was so close to making it all the way through. Because the next time the bad guys and my MC meet is the last major battle. And his girlfriend didn't learn of his death until a full month after it had happened.

Ron the Blackwolf. He's the bastard son of a king. It's only so bad because he has four siblings before him. It's made obvious because he has black hair and his half-siblings have blonde hair. His father treated him somewhat well, while his stepmother and half-siblings all hated him. When he was 9, his sister was shaving him she remarked his mother as a tavern whore and that she was cutting away the memory of her for good. Ron beat Susan that night in her bedchamber scarring her face and shaving her hair.

Ron was renowned by people as a cunt, he was called the Blacksheep until he attacked Susan and was called the Blackwolf since not even Blacksheep holds up to his savagery. Ron is also later in life called the King of the Cunts after his father's death and the crown went his older brother. Ron joined the army at a young age and become excellent with a sword and even better with a bow.

But he ran off when he was 25 and joined the Nameless Company to become a mercenary. Ron had been hated his whole life, he was used to people treating him like shit when he joined. He would kill who he wanted, not listen to orders and generally do what he wanted. The only reason he was kept around was because he was a good fighter. The same reason applied when the company became knighted and was called The Lantern Order after moving to Fort Craque to guard the Haunted Forest. The company became monster hunters. Ron to everyone's dismay enjoyed this more. He had an excuse to lash out and not be considered a mad man because of it.

It all went downhill after he met Lod Ironbear's sister Faye. (Lod Ironbear basically has unbreakable hands and he can punch through stone) The two fell in love but Faye was promised and Ron's reputation made it so they could never be together. But one night they didn't care. 9 months later Faye nearly died from a miscarriage. The baby was gone and Faye was passed out. One of the wet nurses said one night she saw Ron enter her chambers and rape her and that is why Faye was afraid to speak on it.

Ron was in the halls enjoying mead with other men of the order singing when Lod attacked Ron punching a hole in his stomach and throwing him against a wall. "You raped my sister, now the seed you poisoned her with dies with you."
Ron was nearly in tears but couldn't speak. He was born under suspicious circumstances and was mistreated his whole life for it. He fell in love under suspicious circumstances and died for it. Faye had lost everything that day, her normally calm and collected brother had become a murderer, the love of her life was dead and so was her child.

One of my main OCs is named Caiman and he is just a perfect cinnamon roll (to put it bluntly), he gets infected with basically a zombie virus that over the time of a week or two slowly turns you into a bloodthirsty naga. Its a painful process and over the time of his last days his personality starts to change as he becomes more aggressive and violent, he snaps more often and almost kills some of his friends on multiple occasions. Afterwards he starts to mentally break down, basically becoming depressed as he gets closer and closer to his death date, after he fully transforms his crush has to kill him because she is the only one powerful enough to do so.

sorry if this makes no sense but I wanted to contribute….

thats really cool! i really like that!

thats really cool! i really like that!

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

Hmmmm probably Clove, since she was an innocent bystander to everything happening. Same with Marya.

So i wrote this huge long story, but it blended horrifically and sad. So i made an alternate ending for the fun of it.
One of my characters, the main characters big brother, had his best friend (which was also his sisters lover) die (he got half of his body blown up. Long and conokicated story) anyway, so then they also had an abusive dad. After the dad finally beat their dying mother to death, Min-Hyuk (the brother) killed him. Then later on he got put in a mental ward where he stayed for the rest of his life until he got…. Yep, the electric chair. Old sparky <3
Now in my alternate ending, he ended up killing himself after he killed his step dad. Now their real father died in war. But actually he didn't, and only Min-Hyuk knows the truth.
So his father left his wife for war, who had a 2-year-old son and was prego. Anyway, so he went off to warm but then he went to therapy for it afterward. He didn't tell his wife about this because he didn't want her to know that he needed any help since he was a "strong and independent man" so he had his friends that knew his wife, whom had come back to them, tell them that he was dead.
The husband fell in love with his therapist and they started to have an affair until the therapist lady gets caught with him by who?!
None other than thethe therapist ladys FRIKIN FIANCE!!!
The dude ends up shooting the husband so…. Yeah. Is that sad?

Damn dude I'm not even sad anymore, I just feel like mercy killing every one of those poor bastards so they can rest before you mess around with em anymore.

Haha, isn't it amazing making your characters suffer °~°

I haven’t written the scene yet, but I’m planning on killing off the big brother figure of my protagonist.
He’s supposed to die after a skirmish of some sort, but the death isn’t quick enough, and the group healer decides it might be a good idea to just give him poison so he didn’t have to suffer through something that would kill him anyway. The character agrees and dies quickly after this, but the protagonist (also the healer’s love interest) is pissed.

Probably definitely Marian. That's my character Cian's 5 year old daughter, but I had her and her mom get murdered and she dies in her dads arms. Then Cian gets blamed for it, has to flee, can't go to their funeral or anything. Then finds out his "best friend" was the one who killed them and framed him for it. Good times lol.

So it was from an RP, and there's this huge long story behind it but I'll sum it up lol:

So, it was a Marvel RP, and my two OCs, Alex and Jason, both supersoldiers, were dating. Jason is a clone of Steve Rogers, and Alex was frozen in WW1 and found after 100 years. Alex is 20, Jason is 18-19. Jason was dying because of the fact that he was a clone, and wasn't designed to last for a long time. It was a long, slow, lingering death, where he eventually dropped into a coma that he never awoke from. (but wait, there's more). SHIELD, who had created Jason in the first place, dissected his brain and body, sewed him back together, and brought him back to life. As a result, he suffered frequent hallucinations, was mentally unstable, and was very thin and unhealthy as a result of everything combined. Alex, overjoyed just to have his boyfriend back, helped Jason slowly heal and get better.

After a few months, when Jason was better, Alex proposed, and the two got married. About two months after that, Alex, along with two other OCs in the RP, were abducted by HYDRA. Now, ever since Jason had been resurrected by SHIELD, he had been having trouble with depression and anxiety. Mostly along the lines of thinking that he should be dead, that he shouldn't even exist anymore, didn't deserve to live, etc. With Alex gone, and them unable to find the ones taken, he slowly spiraled farther and farther down that hole, resorting to self-harm.

They got back Alex and the others after a few months, but Alex had been brainwashed and remembered nothing. Jason, still caught in that downward spiral, did his best to help the other man back to health and memories, but…no one noticed that something was wrong. Or they did, but when they asked, he avoided their questions. After Alex was nearly back to normal, memories restored, Jason couldn't handle it anymore. He couldn't take life anymore, not after everything. Because every time he was happy, every time he thought everything was going well, something would happen and he or Alex would suffer, and he felt like he should be dead anyway. Basically just doubting that anyone actually cared. So he committed suicide by cutting his own throat.

Alex found the body, and was inconsolable, blaming everything on himself.

Yeah that wasn't the best description but like…my friend and I were both crying as I killed Jason, because we both loved him so much.

Saoirse.
(i recommend you listen to her theme as you read https://youtu.be/47Jst07mNSU )
My protagonist goes to a realm where he has to relearn courage, hope and sacrifice to fit in again at his home. Here he goes on a "suicide" mission with several other people to stop this great plague killing this temporary home of his. At one point, they are ambushed and are attacked by these grotesque creatures which have taken over the corpse of a young lad. Before this carcass can kill anyone, a stranger's sword cuts him down before any damage is done. Enter Saoirse. She's a rogue of the lands (aka homeless) who has been that way for all her life. They have bad reputations which come from a war which should be ignored by now. She joins them on their travels but seems to keep many secrets at first which makes the audience suspicious towards her. However, we see throughout she has good reason to hide her origins and soon finds that my main protagonist (Bruce) isn't really from this place either. Long story short, they win against the plague but which many members of the team dead. (6 remain out of 14)
With Bruce about to return home, Saoirse chases him down and requests to go with him. She states she has no place here, no reason to stay. She'll go back to an isolated life where people will not accept her, plus, she's a traveller and she wants to go somewhere new. Anxiously, Bruce agrees an she goes back to Earth (America) alongside him.
Now to cut down the story, she becomes a really important character and we see her grow as a person. We see her learn and adapt to a new culture, we see her happiness and childlike eagerness to explore, and dark, rageful wrath which she is capable of. She befriends many people in the story and fights many fights by their sides. She's loyal, joyful and full of curiosity like Bruce. Throughout their time together, she calls him by a nickname of "stranger", the first words she said to him when they met and how she called him strange. Soon, she grows very close to him and their friendship soon evolves into something more intimate. She's there to catch him when he begins to fall and is ever protecting him from descending into that dark pit in his head, likewise with her. Together, they forge many memories and their love is one of the most compelling and magical things during the beginning of the story, leading to him finally propose to her and become engaged. That's until Bruce's best mate dies in action and they both have to stand and fight the resistance which he was apart of.
Bruce says Saoirse to stay home and safe. He's afraid she'll wander too far into the heat of the battle and get burnt. But she is as stubborn as he is, and goes anyway.
After 4 tedious days, they win this political conflict and stand in a ruined city. Bruce was wrong about Saoirse being hurt in the battle and she stood a better ground than he did. She helps him up from the debris, her smile still wide as she knows they've won. Civilians are still being pulled from the rubble and she goes to help while Bruce recovers. Saoirse carries a child to safety and wanders back, opening her mouth to speak before a bullet rips through her chest.
As Bruce holds her dying form in his arms, she comforts him and tells him not to cry, even singing a song to try and silence his pleas. She tells him that going with him was the best decision of her life and she wouldn't change it for the worlds. Holding his face, she lets not a single tear run down her face
"Goodbye stranger"
and with that. She dies.

Most likely the death of mine I won't actually write, but I consider it an alternate ending to one of my stories.

Boss got drafted forcibly into the war after he and his friends were caught trespassing on military property, and since Boss doesn't believe in the war at all, he refused to fight, which would up with him arrested. Well, he wasn't having that either, so he tried to escape, but got caught and for a series of reasons, put in solitary confinement.
Now a thing about Boss, he can hear demons, and when that happened, there wasn't anyone to distract him from the whispers anymore, and he began to slowly succumb to them. Nick, his constant shoulder-demon, convinced Boss that he was on Boss's side, and didn't want him to die, so he 'went out to find Boss's friends,' leaving Boss entirely alone for the first time in his life. The silence was too much for him, and by the time Nick returned and informed him that all his friends had been killed and his lover had been tortured for days before death by the enemy, Boss broke entirely. He began searching for ways to kill himself, and when he couldn't find anything quick, he simply bashed his head against the wall of his cell for hours until he finally knocked himself out. The guards found him and tried to save him, but the trauma was too much and he passed away. Only days later, his friends and lover, all alive and well, came to his rescue, only to find him dead in the body dump.

Good thing this story is actually a comedy, eh? xD Boss, you're saved!
